[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1639164, member: 87243"] The big problem is with people spending lots of money on an excellent rifle system but not time at the range judging wind. The only way to get good at reading wind and making good first round impacts in the field on game is practicing. I have absolutely nothing against gunwerks, they make a fantastic product and they are great people. I do however think that the idea of purchasing a 1000 yard rifle and hunting at said distances without a fair amount of range time has a bit of irresponsibility attached to it. If you do not have the time or ability to practice with your rifle, the solution is not to buy an out of the box long range system, but to simply not shoot at ranges where wind and other factors comes into great effect, sub 450 yards or so. It's different if a person doesn't have the time to do load developement and tune a rifle, so they buy a set up like this so they can go strait to the range and spend time behind their rifle, which I think is what most people are referring too. Also, gunwerks does a fantastic job at making sure that people know they need to practice with their rifle, and not just put it strait to the field without practice. The same idea goes for anyone getting into long range at whatever budget they have to invest, and this subject can turn into quite the rabbit hole ha ha. [/QUOTE]
