[QUOTE="JohnWess, post: 1760634, member: 106822"] Your right it has been around since before my father was born. I am only 24. But, I think that’s a mute point due to the fact that the saying well outlives all of us. My main hunting rifle is a 30-06 Stainless Rem 700 BDL and it has a thin barrel. It also shoots .5 MOA consistently. I don’t think we need the most expensive things and I hear what your saying as far as equipment and tech. I guess I am mainly referencing the saying when it comes in a nature that disrespects the animals we hunt. Again, not saying that a bad shot can’t happen. But if we have a setup that is capable of great precision and we practice with it to know it inside and out, then a “miss from out .5-.75 MOA” can still be a kill shot. Kind of like the old saying “aim small miss small”. [/QUOTE]
