[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1760777, member: 97414"] I hear yha John... I hunt with a hunting rifle,,, sometimes I hunt with my F Class rig / or should I say PRS rifle now that I switched it over... That's not saying that I don't shoot my hunting rifle at the shooting range either,,, it runs pretty close to my match grade units... Same goes for my hunting and shooting partners as well,,, if the rifles fits us then lets have at it... Most of our hunting rifles deffinatly fit into the target shooting categories these days,,, purhaps we're following along with other folks since the rifles fit into both worlds... This is what I strive for when I do a build,,, a rifle that is to heavy to pack 20 miles but to light to compete with in National Match shooting,,, kind of the middle ground between both uses if it works... My hunting rifles shoot good on the hunting grounds,,, they do ok in the long range category too,,, the things that gets them to shoot 1/4 MOA on a good day is me,,, same can be said when I see 2" and 3" groups... The majority of folks in our area still harvest critters from point blank range out to 140/ 200 yards,,, I would think that the majority of the harvests are with in the 100 yards and closer... So the either or rifle idea that folks use is up to them,,, I dosen't matter to me since I look after what works for me,,, I see a leaver action 30/30 coming my way after this hunting season,,, something a can bump and grind into the dirt,,, rocks and trees,,, back to the good times that use to fit my needs...
