Most Fire guys are overly-impressed with FPS, BC and the like. That's all fine but when it comes to killing critters 99.3% of game is taken under 200 yards. Some of the "stunt-shooting" is best left to the professionals. My 7x57 is a small ring, Krieger barrel, Sunnyhill bttm, nice wood and seems to be a lucky little thing cause when I pull it out something nice walks in front of it and dies. If I do my part it's close to MOA off the bench with 150-154 bullets and not overly picky. I like easy. I think not pushing the speed thing helps with accuracy too.


Why does a man who is 50 pounds overweight complain about a 10 pound rifle being too heavy?
