Interesting post, and I`m here to tell you 4MOA rifles, and shooters, are NOT dead! I know many guys that still shoot them, not with irons either, but with scopes. Scopes are supposed to make a difference...but if the target is only 60 yrds away, don`t matter much. It does help to see horns early or late, in the dark swamp tho. I see guys and their targets at a local range in fall, normally a week or so before season, shooting one, maybe two shots at 100. If a bullet falls within 4 inches of aim, with the scope, the gun is really shooting good enough to kill a deer..
Many years ago, before I knew better, I`d thought the same thing. After all, it is a hundred yards.
