[QUOTE="Rardoin, post: 1959054, member: 114954"] JE, You misunderstand me. I certainly agree that an ethical hunter, of which I consider myself as I was a hunter way before a target shooter, should have his rifle capable of hitting where he is aiming...at any distance he/she is shooting. I am just stating that to be competitive with the folks I shoot against if my rifle cannot hold an X ring in a dead calm at 1000yds for 20 consecutive shots I will not win a major match. I do not need .5MOA precision to ethically hunt LR game unless the kill zone is less than a 5" circle... I need consistent 'minute of boiler room'. However, the tighter shooting the rifle, the better and one should strive for reasonable precision. I made my comment aimed at those who feel, based on interweb lore, that you [I]have[/I] to turn necks to have any real precision. I hate to see relatively new shooters go and spend a small fortune on gear that will not make a difference until/unless they have the skills/equipment/demand for that degree of minutia in their case prep. I am just presenting a contrary point of view. I consider all opinions in this thread valid. [/QUOTE]
