[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 449303, member: 24624"] The referenced article makes some bold claims and I agree with earlier posts that these are unqualified and are for the most part inaccurate. However, statements by the author such as, "I'd have no hesitation taking a 300-yard shot with any of these little guns." And, "When a Blacktail buck suddenly appeared right in my face at only 20 yards in a rare small opening the gun was up and on my shoulder before I even had time to think about it, and he was on the ground in about five seconds total elapsed time." ...somewhat puts his frame of mind into perspective and a short barrelled rifle may be more than adequate, perhaps even ideal, for those tasks. About the only thing he substantiates per the chart on page 3 is that you can have a pretty accurate short barrelled rifle. The guy probably knows better than to show up with a scout rifle at an F-Class match. [/QUOTE]
