Everyone here is saying the same thing more or less and so will I. My first bull was a lasered 435 yards taken off a good field expediant rest with an '06 and a 165 partition. He took 3 steps and rolled down the hill from a boiler room shot. The reason I took the shot was because I had been working up the load and shooting that rifle 2-3 times a month for the previous 4-5 months at a range that had targets out to 400 yds. Would I take that shot today? Probably not since I haven't been shooting as much as I was then. As long as you're shooting a rifle that you can handle without bad habits, and you are shooting it regularly so you know how it performs, most rifles will do their job as long as the shooter does theirs. Just don't think that the super-duper whiz-bang mag will make up for the shooter not doing their job. The nut behind the trigger is more important than the hole above it.
