I used to hunt a fairly small area with my Dad. When he shot, I could pretty well tell by sound that it was him and where he was. He used ny Grandfather's circa 52' model 70.. One season I hear what sounded like an auto loader dump 5 rounds. Wasn't sure it was him. I headed that way anyway. It was him, and we had work to do.
A few years later. By myself in the same woods. I did the same thing he had done. Only it was 4 rpunds. What I always carried in my Remington 700..
Afterwards. I had work to do.
Niether one of us ever practiced speed. We just got excited. In both cases though. At least for us. Slow and precise would have maybe been better or just as good. But both rifles performed flawlessly.
Although I will say a Rem 700 trigger can freeze up if it gets wet and cold. Need to watch em' in bad weather.
