My hunting bud isn't a Fire contributor, doesn't know anything about a "gay" .270, shoots a well used Sendero with a tired barrel. Thru the Hawkeye, it's pretty bad, shoots a solid 1 1/2" at a hundred with factory 130's. He loves Partitions.
I asked him why he packed such a heavy rifle. His reply, "I know what it'll do when I get it there".
And he kills stuff with that old gun, he's deadly with it, bunches of WT's, hogs, 'yotes, etc. over the years. I watched him kill a speed goat at a measured 435 yds. No turret, no ranging reticle. He knew how much it dropped at that distance, held accordingly. Boom, plop. Meat in the ice chest.
I told him we could swap out the barrel for a better one. He said when it quit shooting, he'd do it.
I guess ignorance is bliss...
