[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1524895, member: 8873"] Huh, I have a $6,000 rifle...so what does that mean. I’m not as “old” as several of the seasoned shooters on here. However I have been shooting long range for quite a while. Been pushing “my” limits for a while, and yes that means hunting game long range. I have outgrown my equipment’s capabilities and have been upgrading over the years. I joined the Army to be a Sniper and have a few more years before I retire. I remember when I was about 9 and got a used Shooters Bible, and how I obsessed over the ballistic data/charts that were in the back. I never outgrew that obsession, it has probably gotten worse. I’ve said it more than once on here (as if I need to justify anything to anyone) that my rifle is my hot rod. Every man has a purpose, mine is to be behind a rifle. Yes I stole that last line!:rolleyes: Edited to add: I also have a $350 Ruger American that is a great shooter, and a very good lighter hunting rifle. It’s not snobby to own a nice piece of equipment. It is pretty crappy to look down on someone who does...actually seems a bit envious to me. [/QUOTE]
