[QUOTE="Country Bumpkin, post: 1588623, member: 92230"] Everyone keeps talking about the 1-2 shots that we expect to take when killing an animal. Yes, I agree, that’s the goal.... We are also talking about semi-long range hunting with light rifles. So pushing the boundaries of equipment with rifles that are inherently difficult to shoot accurately/consistently because of their lack of mass. With that, I opted for a Proof CF barrel because I wanted to be able to practice a lot with it to ensure I’m proficient and confudtnt to take those one-shot kills we strive for. Ever taken a magnum rifle with a pencil barrel to the range for practice.....? it takes HOURS to shoot enough to get a reasonable session. A Proof barrel allows for “almost-as-light” 1-shot performance as a pencil barrel but has the added benefit of longer consistent strings when practicing. [/QUOTE]
