I am resisting going high tech on the ranging and dialing. I want to feel connected to what I shoot in the same county. But especially in S. Tex. you have about five seconds to judge an animal and shoot before it crosses a sendero. Ranges can be 40 to 800 yards and there is no time for ranging and dialing hence the point and shoot. If you can aim at hair at unknown ranges to 300+++ it is a big advantage. Most of this is mental masturbation and and excuse for another rifle.
I believe in the pie plate theory for hunting rifles. If ability, trajectory, and windage allow you to hit a pie plate consistently regardless if the range is 100 or 5000 that is your effective range.
Let the gackery continue please.
I don't recommend pulling off a snap shot at animals over 400, even with some behemoth overbore. Seems like an opportunity for a rodeo. Long shots require a precision that takes a few breaths and more than a few seconds to get right.
