[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 160259, member: 8"] If you are interested in one of Kirby's cartridges you can just email him. He is very responsive to email. It does not obligate you to spend any money. Jerry Teo wrote a very fine article on inexpensive good shooting long range rifles. It is fine advice and I would have done that if I could have found a Savage. I have pretty much one of each. A $1400 match action for an elk rifle, a $150 action accurized for an antelope rifle and a who knows what it cost action for an F-class/hog/auodad rifle and a bonestock Rem 700 action for small stuff. I truly enjoy each one of them and I do not shoot any better or any worse with any of them. I have $1500 dollar scopes and $200 scopes and I can tell the difference in them but I don't shoot any better. I use precision handcrafted low runout ammo and just slopped together ammo and I don't shoot any better no matter which I use. I have expensive stocks and factory stocks and some are bedded by professional gunsmiths and some are bedded by me and they all shoot the same when it is me shooting. The morale of this story is that the most critical factor is the skill of the person doing the shooting. An expensive, one of a kind, once in a life time rifle is a thing of great joy and a pleasure to hunt with, but it does not make you a great rifle shot. Only, hard work and constant practice will do that. [/QUOTE]
