[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 1314158, member: 880"] Glocktogo, I'm not trying to stir up anything just I hear ethical thrown around a lot, I'm not going to say what my longest shot is just because someone will say I'm an idiot but ya know what I have been shooting long range for years and what most think is a long shot I don't so I just keep my mouth shut it seems to be better that way. I fully agree that a rifle will do some amazing things but the nut behind the trigger is the weak link, that weak link has to know what his equipment will do at all times in all conditions. I passed up some shots a couple years ago out in Sayre on some deer that just floored me! some of the bucks they said were scrubs I'd hang on my wall! the guys I was hunting with know how I shoot and everyone is on me to shoot that nice buck he's only XXX yards I know you can hit him, well I knew I could hit him too but I had my 243 and yes it will hit and good but I was concerened about the bullet performance at that range! I didn't take the shot! if I don't know something about my equipment or have a slight doubt I don't take the shot dang sure wish I would have taken the 308! I have since built a 284 Win in a light hunting rig, granted the chamber has been throated to seat the bullets out longer to get some more powder it will equal a 7WM and in some cases beat the 7WM it has been a hammer on deer. I have taken several does out to XXX yards and was working on getting it out further until my company sent me to Louisiana 3 months ago to help out so the practice has been put on hold. I just wish people would quit saying they shot something at 300 yards and it in reality was only 150, there are some folks that can shoot long ranges and do it extremely well! I have seen some shots on game that would scare you the distance they were made at! heck I've made called shots on P-Dogs over 1K but ya know what a P-Dog ain't a deer! Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
