[QUOTE="Broz, post: 538558, member: 7503"] Greg there are opinions and there are facts. Lets respect each others opinons and lets talk about facts. Fact is, some Rf's are better than others and it is usually reflected in the price. Thats not to say that the less expensive one will not work well for some shooters, it all depends on the facts of how they hunt and to the conditions as to which is best and which will work. Another fact is the internet is full of misinformed people who state some things are "the best" and they have not even tried some of the others. If is works for them that is their choice. I have missed one antelope at distances over 600 yards. 1520 yards to be exact. I missed my wind call. I watched the bullet splash and chose to not try another shot in the existing conditions. I am proud to say I have recovered every animal I shot at beyond 600 yards. And only once, to the best of my memory, took a follow up shot. Never wounded an animal at long range. God as my witness, and I pray I never do at any distance. You see, I grew up in a state that required you hunt deer with slugs. I also spent my share of time in an ajoining state hunting with rifles at shorter distances. So I have seen way way more deer wounded at close range than at distances over 600 yrds. The experienced long range shooter applies way more time to a single shot than one at 50 or 100 yrds in tight timber or on the run. I have seen all the mamed or non recovered deer I hope to ever see, and they were all close. Thank you for the suggestion on the book about sniping. But I have no interest. I am not a sniper and I do not calim to be, nor do I have any intention to mimic a sniper. They are highly trained for what they do and they do it well. I know what works for me, I practice my technique often and it is working well for me also. Jeff [/QUOTE]
