BobinNH I agree. It's not the magnums that aren't accurate, it's the folks who have not shot enough to master them that aren't accurate. I had a 7 mag that for several years was my favorite long range prairie dog gun because it was deadly accurate. That gun consistently shot in the .4's with 168 gr. Sierra Matchkings. I used to shoot ground hogs with my .300 Jarrett to practice for elk. 'Hogs from several football fields away make an elk look as big as a barn through the scope. I'm thinking real hard about another 7 mag for a long range marmot gun. My .270 is doing great out past 700 yards, but it's getting a bit sensitive to wind at those ranges. I'm beginning to look at 1K yards and this is a perfectly valid reason why I NEED another 7 mag to sling those super-high BC 180 gr. VLD's. I'm hoping Cooper introduces their magnum chamberings this summer. Seem odd, but I really have more use for a magnum to shoot little furry critters than I do for elk. It's all about the range.
