[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2359543, member: 75451"] I’ve read the majority of the comments.....no one will change their position on the topic as presented! As stated by someone, there are no right or wrong answers.....just opinions! These are some of my positions! When shooting steel or targets, where a multitude of rounds will be fired, “a can” makes total sense! Beyond that....the term “hunting” needs to be clearly defined! Only the “hunter” can define his/her (or any of the dozens of gender variants) their hunting method! If hunting means carrying the firearm in mixed terrain, up and down steep country, through brush and timber with the possibility of a long shot......many of the rifles promoted on this site are at the least impractical and at their worst ridiculous! Heavy, rifles, bipods/tripods, unnecessary barrel length are a huge hinderance! Wear ear plugs to protect your hearing or “if” you want to hear everything but the shot....go with electronic sound enhancing/shot damping ear buds. Muffs are usually impractical for proper cheek weld! If hunting means positioning one’s self where moderate to extreme hiking/stalking hunting conditions are out of the equation and long shots are likely to offer the highest probability for a shot.....it doesn’t matter how extreme the hunting package ( rifle weight, barrel length, types of support system, ect.) you use! Use the rifle package/platform that is the best you can financially justify.....and enjoy the “can”! It’s all hunting......just in different forms! memtb [/QUOTE]
