[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2698188, member: 36999"] I don’t have a dog in the fight as I doubt I will even actually hunt in New Mexico so they don’t care what I have to say. I went out west hunting once and based on that it’s simply too expensive for me to do it more that a couple times in my life. Look at it this way, removing scopes makes every shot less accurate whether you are shooting 50 or 200 yards while limiting the rifles capability reduces their effective range from several hundred yards down to 300 or less. Just look at the below chart and the drop and energy difference between a smokeless, BH209 in a smokeless, Inline shooting sabots and a .50 cal caplock. [ATTACH type="full"]422308[/ATTACH] The best scope in the world doesn’t make that caplock a 300+ yard rifle. [/QUOTE]
