[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 584190, member: 8"] Not a fan of GAP rifles but his reasoning is very sound. If a person is going to have only one rifle and it has to be the practice rifle and the hunting rifle then barrel life becomes a driving issue. Personally I can afford to have several rifles and one is a dedicated practice rifle in 308. Practice and comfort shooting at long range should be done well before hunting season and if you have only one rifle then that is the barrel that gets a couple of hundred rounds down it every year not just the first year. You cannot be using an overbore magnum for that very meany years without rebarreling. Here is an old thread of mine which illustrates how much I believe in practice and how easy it is to put practice to work in a hunting situation. [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f85/practice-teamwork-34515/"]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f85/practice-teamwork-34515/[/URL] The two of them went on to make kills of 910 yards and 707 yards that hunting season. But all of that success came from days and days on the rifle range and hundreds rounds fired. [/QUOTE]
