[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1045343, member: 1656"] You describe a hunting setup not applicable to 99.99% of hunters. Therefore, it bears little bearing on real-life hunting situations. I'm sure 30 pound, single-shot bench guns are the most accurate there are. I'm sure when you sit in one spot with a special-built artillery table to shoot off, there is a connection. But those conditions apply to almost zero hunters, even in the LR game. I've read a lot of hunting reports hear and I've yet to read one who shot off such a setup. I am sure there are a few of you out there but to generalize and claim such conditions to apply more broadly would be very disingenuous. If it works for you, more power to you. It would be fun to watch. I just find the vitriole against those in this thread who have a role for repeaters disappointing. And what I said about the bad vibe in the tread was not specifically directed at you, but at several and the general tone of the thread. We can do better, this hardly seems an issue worth riling people over. Most of my LR hunting shots have been done in an area that takes three hours to hike to on foot and we're about the only people going in that far without horses. Thick with bears. Plenty of places to shoot game where you want a second one in them as quickly as possible to make sure they don't get somewhere much more difficult to retrieve. No chain-driven table is going to make it in there, and .1-.2 MOA difference in group size is a small price to pay if that is what it takes to have more than one round in the rifle. [/QUOTE]
