[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1441959, member: 12443"] Well not many ever used a fixed Redfield or any other for serious long range anyway, but point is there was lots of very good serious distance shooting going on well before the modern day bandwagon left the station. Look at the 1000 yd records set 30 years ago and compare them to today. Yet the equipment used then would be apt to get you laughed at today. An example would be a more recent record that held up for about 14 years, and set with a home brewed gun on a 721 action with what many today would consider a lousy Leupold scope. Why aren't we seeing new records set more often, considering the advancement in equipment and shooter knowledge? The answer has very little to do with modern technical advancement and shooter knowledge, and a whole lot to do with good shooting coupled with old fashioned luck. [/QUOTE]
