[QUOTE="Broz, post: 985370, member: 7503"] I agree here and will add once you have the rifle and all needed equipment that can be purchased, then comes the commitment to build YOUR personal skills. You can get some darn good training from attending one of the many schools/classes. But they can only give you the education to start building your own personal skills. Again these skills can not be purchased like a rifle, optics or other gear. This is the part that does not get enough attention and without proper developed skills the most accurate rifle in the world is handicapped. Also it is the duty of the precision hunter to know his bullet and know it well. Know the projectile you choose and why you chose it. There are many good choices but some will fit into your personal set of criteria better than others. Once chosen know how it will perform on game at different impact velocities. Know when and at what impact velocity to put it in the crease behind the shoulder or when your chosen bullet might expand better if placed in the shoulder. No one bullet is perfect under all conditions, but know the one you are using and use it to the absolute best of your advantage. Jeff [/QUOTE]
