257Bob;

Imagine that all the fuss is about getting a factory rifle with action, twist, chamber and throat actually tailored to a particular cartridge and bullet class. A custom in a box ready to go. Too, a lot more paper is getting shot at distance than in the past.

For those not partial or unschooled in Kentucky windage, dially scopes and informative reticles have opened doors for smaller cartridges at magnum distances. Most welcome--particularly to old, beat-up shooters. Like Viagra, the new optics help to keep the ancients in the game to the chagrin of certain millennials.

The benefits of a higher ballistic coefficient seem to be getting near revelatory attention, too--kinda like the shooting fraternity didn't have that under their collective hat back in the dim past...:)
