Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm ashamed to say it... I'm getting logical in my old(er) age! hahahaha. I read the book about Carlos Hathcock making kills at and over 1,000 yards with nothing more than a 30-06 going 2,550fps and a Unertl 10x "scope". I went through the velocity craze in my teens and 20's (a .300 Weatherby NUT). I highly doubt I will ever hunt with this rifle (700 Magpul) since it weighs about 12 lbs set up. Its pretty much a gong-gun (if I can ever find a long-range to attend), as I've got my 6.5 Swede ready to go with the aforementioned 140gr Partitions. I'm really loving the accuracy that the 140 SST's are giving.
