[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 236975, member: 12443"] rifles have been used for setting up here, and shooting over there, long before the word tactical was even thought of. i doubt the word has been used for 20 years, in association with rifles. magazines certainly arent a necessity for long range hunting. many rifles built specificaly for that purpose are single shot. and certainly an argument can be made for a nice classic styled thumbhole stock. heavier barrels are a benefit, especially after a few shots have been fired. im of the opinion that true tactical rifles are of the shorter barrel variety, and as such dont lend themselves to the cartridges associated with long range hunting. a 7 rem. mag. with a 28" barrel on a rem. action, dosent really much care what the stock looks like. but admittedly the tacticals look scarrier. some words of advise to the guy moving to this country. dont waste any time buying your guns, and dont waste any time joining the N. R. A. [/QUOTE]
