[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 45053, member: 1622"] Thanks to all of you for your thoughts! Did the dirty and sold my .308 sporter last night. Although it is a 0.7MOA rifle, I never found it terribly forgiving of less than perfect technique ...0.7MOA on the range but less in the field (me being the limitation!). Never shot anything beyond 200m with it other than plinking at paper....a confidence issue. (I didn't sell my 300wm though!) The AI... well, I'm 95% decided. I had to learn to shoot my 'work' rifle right-handed (the more astute will be able to work out who that means I work for!)and that panned out OK....not ideal, but OK.... so I'm debating whether to 'train' myself to use the AW right-handed -or simply use it cack-handed! [B]Derek[/B] -how do you find the AW as a stalking rifle? Too heavy or endurable? (the AWP is the 24" heavy barrel version of the AW. AI claim 10mm at 100m for the AWP -that's significantly less than 0.5MOA [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] -hope I maintain that smile if/when I get it!)I'm quite familiar with the L96 and it's 'easy shooting' accuracy; much of that 'easy shooting' is a product of it's sheer weight! Maybe I'll just use the 300 in the Highlands and reserve the AW for lowland!? [ 05-11-2004: Message edited by: Brown Dog ] [/QUOTE]
