On out of state hunts, I always bring a backup. For our Catskills farm, I’ll use a different rifle depending on set up and mood. [/quote]

I realize flat shooting hard hitting magnums make the 6.5 man bun crowd uncomfortable- just like the Prius & EV crowd don’t like corvettes. The advantage of speed of the shot when you can point & shoot to 400 yards works faster than any dialing ever made.
Limiting your shot distances and angles may appeal to you but if you can shoot hard kicking rifle accurately they offer a significant advantage in the 350-450 yard range in speed and power. Nothing takes the place of bullet placement but 350 yards through a front shoulder works with his cartridge choices & good bullets in a few seconds without having to dial to make up for trajectory.
