[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 2920153, member: 103317"] I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately people now a days have way more money than they do sense and long range rigs are for sale on every street corner, website and magazine you pick up. Its so easy to get drawn into the 1000 yards out of the box scenario. I just had this conversation with my grandson this weekend while antelope hunting. He wants to shoot farther and farther but does not want to put in the time to practice shooting and reading the wind, working on the dope charts etc, necessary for the task at hand. He told me you have the rifles setup so that we can shoot 1000 yards and beyond. I told him no I have rifle setups that will shoot that far but that is not why I own them. I own them so that if the need arises I have the capability to shoot that far. I always try to get to a known comfortable range where I know I can make the shot ten times out of ten, no questions asked. He thinks its just spend the money get the system and shoot to 1000 just like so many others out there. He is a great shot but its pretty easy when someone else does all the hard work for ya. He killed this antelope at 767 yards with the 280AI that I set up for him. [ATTACH]500392[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
