[QUOTE="hunterbob, post: 1003353, member: 38116"] That's funny Jay, Are you thinkin about the SHTF day??? No matter what caliber a person has everything has its limitations and mostly its the shooters. I don't care if I have a 338 Mag or 308, If I can't hit the target because of recoil , its no good to me ... If I have a smaller caliber and that bullet hits the boiler room..and its still standing , I send another one for the boiler room... That critter is mine. I'm not talking about 1500 yd shots, some of us might be able too. I can't .. My limitations are 400 to 600 and that's it.... I like the long shots and i had shot plenty of critters in my younger years 300 to 400 yds with open sites. No gun rest, I was standing, or kneeling ... Didn't hit everything I shot at either..... My eyes aint like they used to be, so I got a nice scope now, and expect to reach out to maybe 700 yds ... on yotes, or lions. [/QUOTE]
