[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 2758302, member: 70559"] Teri Anne, From reading your last post I got the idea those who use "big" guns can't shoot them accurately. A few years ago my Klienguenther K14 was not heavy at all. One year I decided to use it for deer. To make sure I was still proficient with it I took it to the range. I fired three offhand at 100 yards. The group was 6". Then I sat down and fired three at 300 yards. Again the group was 6". Someone asked, "Well how accurate is it from the bench.?" I set up a target at 500 yards and fired three more. The group was 2 1/4". The guy exclaimed, "That's a squirrel gun[B][SIZE=5]![/SIZE][/B]" That rifle weighs eleven pounds and is too much for me. Now I use either a 7 1/4 pound (8mm Mag) rifle or the big one at eight pounds (7RUM). Either is quite deadly. [/QUOTE]
