[QUOTE="Jumpalot, post: 501798, member: 4867"] LTLR, I hear what you are saying about media (TV shows) showing long range shots and talking about how easy it is. It makes the average Joe think that he can buy a rifle and just go out make long shots. Heck, 7-8 years ago, I thought the same thing. Boy, was I ever wrong. I found out that I needed to spend a lot of time behind the trigger and practice. I believe that even more dangerous is the whole "Ultra Mag" craze. Everytime I walk into a gun shop, I see someone looking at an "Ultra Mag" and saying "Man, now I can go out and shoot deer and elk at 800 yds." "This gun will really reach out and touch something." Later, I'll see them at the range closing their eyes, yanking the trigger and barely able to hit a paper plate. I love my 300 Win. Mag., and I've killed a lot of animals with it. But, I don't think it will do anything that a 7 mag can't do for what I will use them for. If it's big and far I'll be shooting the Edge. Going back to what the OP originally asked for, a 1200 yd. deer rifle, I wouldn't use my 7 mag or 300 mag. I'd go straight to my Edge. [/QUOTE]
