[QUOTE="Joaquin B, post: 584742, member: 20152"] Interesting discussion... For some of us, long range rifles are other forms of toys we like to tinker with, just like some folks like to have 500 horse-power cars or gold-plated handguns. For others, a long range rifle is a tool suited for the task at hand. One does not use a 6.5 X .284 for elephants because a .375 H & H or a .458 Win. Mag. are better suited for the job. By the same token, one does not take shots at 500 meter + distances with a .458 because of the .458's poor ballistics, although I have a lot of fun trying to hit rabbits at 200 meters + with my .454 Casull lever action rifle, because of the challenge it presents. My personal long range hunting rifle is a .284 Winchester. I could have chosen a 338 Edge or a 300 Weatherby, but that was my personal choice, just like other shooters choose different rifle/caliber combinations. One of the great things about being fortunate to live in America is having freedom of choice. You are free to choose your guns, religion, brand of coffee, etc. If you don't like using long range rifles or long range hunting, you are also free not to do engage in this. [/QUOTE]
