[QUOTE="bpcrshooter, post: 1686105, member: 100251"] guess my feelings/questions are....do you shoot regularly at 8-900yrds?? Are you very, very comfortable with taking said game at that distance?? some of us spend ALL year dreaming of being able to set foot to mountain in search of a elk, Im not so sure I would take the risk of shooting one that far unless I HAD to, and 9-10 times its truly not needed, will it be more work to get closer?? heck yeah, will you remember that when its all said and done?? you damm right you will but, laying your gun up against a animal you busted your butt to get will have way more meaning then just the ol poke and hope shooting. spending a lot of time out west learning the way the winds blow takes time, shooting at sea level at the range off a bench or prone is way different then layin down on mountain side. Im not saying your a bad shooter or hunter its just food for thought, I do know this is a long range hunting fourm but, sometime people get caught up in what a gun/caliber "can" do and not what hunter can do. ohhh and 7mmRM would be my choice;);) [/QUOTE]
