[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1045185, member: 55230"] Dedicated long range guns are called target guns IMO. I get his point, but my point is hunting doesn't always occur at long range. Like I said before, are you going to pass up a 400" bull b/c he isn't "long range"?? Well maybe if you already have a 405" bull on the wall... but any ways. Then again it comes back to preference. The shooter makes all the difference in the world. I could have the most accurate gun in the world and go up against the top shooter with a slightly lesser gun at long range and lose against said top shooter. How could that be? Probably b/c there are too many variables to account for. Further more, if the conditions are absolutely perfect does it matter if the 10" target (gong or vitals) is shot with a 0.1" gun versus a 0.25"gun??? I say nope, hit is a hit. It still goes ding or the game is still dead. For extreme long range you have a little more of an argument, but now you're dealing with a very small percentage of shooters. Any former or current snipers here? single shot or repeater?... Everything this civilian has seen says repeater. Of course a more accurate gun reduces human error, but will not eliminate it. Your gun can't shoot the critter for you. [/QUOTE]
