[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2894034, member: 8394"] Was explained to me It's a product of widespread use of modern cnc. Started with the Tikka line a few years back, emphasis on machining streamlining allowed for exacting tolerance. Worked so well that's functionally what the rar and so many others have adapted the idea. Modern rifles in that vein with plastic stocks are shockingly consistent especially factoring in cost. It's a fair argument that they lack the flair of a pre 64 winchester but man do they shoot. I buy machined products for fixing/building boats, my mind is perpetually blown at how fast and accurate something can be made with modern techniques. (Conversly also amazed at how long other parts can take). Still have some magazines from gun rags from 30 years ago. Either were all liars, or modern guns and ammo are shooting a lot better. My truck has 2x rifles in it for this weekend, eliminate the leica, the smart phone, just look at the scopes. Compare them to my parents aged optics let alone the janky dull blury fixed power scopes my grandfather used my age... it's wild. Bullets might not have grown by leaps and bounds, but it's been far from static. Not saying any have no place, heck I still like to shoot an old haken with a patch and ball. This just happens to be long range hunting not just hunting. Regrettably since my move away from the high desert my shots have shrunk and long range is a skill set that I try to keep, not the only focus like it once was. Shooting 300-800 in sage and rolling fields in perpetual swirling wind, that's when the benefit of the sleek tipped bullets really shined. Enough so it was hard to use anything less wind resistant, overbore and sleek was even better. For each guy hunting the same rifle and ammo bought long before I was born, is another that gets more than one identical prefit barrel to wear out. [/QUOTE]
