[QUOTE="2buffalo, post: 2577604, member: 122577"] I agree with everything you said. I look at the original post and I assumed that this was a big game hunting rifle. Right or wrong I want a rifle to shoot 3 shots staring with a clean cold bore to shoot under .5" @ 100yds to start before stretching out the distance.in my head statistically the more shots you fire the more chance for human error or conditions to change. Including wind, bore heat, etc. If I bring my rifle to the range and it and I accomplish this without a change in point of impact that is what I am looking for. I am not a competion shooter or shoot prairie dogs or something similar so shooting groups with more shots doesn't seem to me like it is giving me much useful information. The fact is if I need more than one shot to put down an animal I didn't do my job. It has happened to me more than once but it doesn't change that fact. If I need more than 3 shots to put down an animal I should not be doing what I am doing and go home to practice or maybe take up another hobby. I also don't foul my bore which may be right or wrong to some people but I want the same starting point every time. [/QUOTE]
