[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1556356, member: 12995"] Here's my take on this list... 1) This is true, range finders are a game changer, but they're still just a tool. 2) Ballistically, yes... Performance on game, Hell no! In a target-only environment, the modern 6.5mm 130 will beat the .30 caliber 200 partition. But in a hunting environment, the 130 6.5mm will never compare to the performance of a 200gr .30 caliber bullet when it comes to penetration, damage, and kinetic energy exerted onto the target. You can't change physics. 3) Factory ammo is only as good as the rifle that shoots it (typically factory rifles). If the rifle is sh!t or the shooter can't shoot, the ammo will make no difference, and accuracy will still be horrible. 4) True, factory rifles are finally catching up to technology, and this is also pushing customs and aftermarket companies to do better as well. 5) Triggers make a big difference, agree on that 100%. 6) Optics tech has come a LONG way in just 10 years. Today's $500 scopes are on-par with $1,500 scopes of 10 years ago. 7) This is true, they are very helpful TOOLS, however, they don't put the bullet on target for you...That skill still needs to be practiced.
