[QUOTE="kmassaro, post: 10974, member: 2463"] Monte, I'm not uppity, I'm relating what works in the field, in practice, as opposed to what works in theory. Perhaps the animals I hunt are different, but the antelope, deer and elk I kill at long range have a vested interest in staying alive, and that means they're a millisecond away from moving behind something that obstructs the shot, or presenting their backside.... Now, if you're looking at the ultimate 900 yd prairie dog rifle, that's another story. Who cares if he goes down the hole, another one's coming up soon... But elk are different. You may get one shot a year, and may only get 10 seconds of a broadside shot. Hunting rifles are to be shot fast. Your target wants to stay alive, and is constantly on the move. I can take a rifle designed to be shot fast, and shoot slow with it, but not the other way around. Talk down to me again after you've killed a hundred big game animals. [/QUOTE]
