rattus,

At 200 yards with the same bullet and powder I am about 10-12" lower. I assume its the extra 4-6" of barrel they have over me. At 75 yards I am just as accurate but at longer ranges I have more drop and my pattern opens up.

In the areas I hunt it is iron sights only. No scopes/ optics at all. And to hold over with iron sights is very inacurrate due to loosing your target behind the sight. In a perfect world, yes, I would not need to shoot that far. But if I have a 30" buck or a 350+ bull at 225 yards I'm going to throw a bullet.

I really like the Remington my only worry is the barrel says "made in Spain". Most the negative I have heard about CVA is their Spanish made barrels having a very low pressure rating. Makes me wonder if Remington is getting the barrels at the same place to save $.
