[QUOTE="CRaTxn, post: 496729, member: 14985"] Laser Rangefinders ARE the reason we aren't still trying to shoot point-blank-range with faster and flatter ACKLEY-Weatherby-Lazarroni barrel burners. VLD bullets from benchrest bullet makers are another factor but you take away the rangefinders (whether laser or optical)and none of this works. The proliferation of accuracy gunsmiths and computer aided lathes and indicators has brought unattainable accuracy to even factory rifles like some Savages etc. The comments on this and other blogs seems to indicate men now want a "carry rifle" good to kill elk, deer, bear etc. out towards 1,000 yards or more. Sure some guys drove around in their pickups with optical rangefinders the size of bazookas and did some heavy rifle long range benchrest hunting but technology DOES seem to have made the here-to-fore impossible > possible even probable. We gain much from our 1,000 yard benchrest experts but the weight of the rifles, elaborate rifle rests , wind flags, know distance, know range variables, the fact the target won't just walk off into the woods, HAVING A PERSONAL SPOTTER vs hunting solo make equating one with the other quite a stretch. I'm just waiting for the hand held doppler wind meter combination rangefinder. or maybe the optical mirage focal shift indicator will be miniaturized into our scopes next to our spirit level and compass coriolis computer !?!
