[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 479374, member: 1521"] And your definition of long range HUNTER? I for one, owe NOTHING to benchrest competition. Nor does any other HUNTER (IMO). It is our need to hit our mark with one shot(our necessity), that has led to math used today in external ballistics. Otherwise, sighters negate the need, and this thread would not be. It is our needs that led to all things field CARRIED including our rifles(which are not F-Class naval guns). Because we kill at distance, we shoot more than 6PPC and flat base bullets. Our barrels are longer than ~22", and of low enough profile to balance, carry and shoot well enough, without a bench and rest and rear bags and and flags and martini(shaken not stirred). Our success often amounts more than just showing up & shooting. It's the scouting, spotting, stalking, positioning, and improvisions, that allow us to take game spotted way off -at more than just set ranges and set conditions (known up front). BR shooting has it's many challenges, we have ours, and that's the way it is and should be. You can accept that NASCAR is not BAJA,, or stretch to make fantasy connections which are really counterproductive to both. [/QUOTE]
