[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 850086, member: 30902"] Yes it is a strong opinion and as I pointed out it's not just about dollars and cents. Again, pick your favorite ballistics calculator and run the numbers, with the kinds of bullets we have today, the net return down range from that extra 100fps is minimal. Speed in and of itself is but one small factor in effective long range shooting, much less the ability to get a clean kill at long range. Some people want to own a dragster just because they think it's cool and people like that make people like Kirby a good living. I certainly don't begrudge Kirby or anyone else for making a living off of that market. He builds a great rifle for people that gives them exactly what they want. That doesn't change the fact however that there is very minimal gain and quite an additional cost for it. [/QUOTE]
