[QUOTE="deepwater1, post: 177959, member: 9742"] It took me a bit to get the defensiveness. Then it occurred to me, "yep, I bet old fogeys like me drop in here and bitch that anything over 200 yards should be illegal!" I am amazed by the improvement in equipment from just, to me, a few years ago. My last western hunt, we had no rangefinder, no nothing, just Kentucky windage and elevation. Worked o.k., at the time, at the distances we shot. I've killed two muleys--one at about 125 yds. and the other at 250. The 250 was a long shot--then. I will settle in and watch and read. I remember shooting some of the early 50 sniper rifles and not being at all impressed. They have certainly improved! A lot of the cartridges you guys shoot, I've barely heard of. I think of my .458x2" American as "exotic." So, it should be interesting. [/QUOTE]
