[QUOTE="Pacecount, post: 1685204, member: 93281"] Allow me to ask you a question. Do you know what you want to get out of this? Do you consider yourself a hunter or a shooter? As a hunter I don’t shoot my “custom” belted magnum that much other than to verify ballistics and scope zero. I really do not spend a ton of time on the range. When I do go to the range I might shoot 20 rounds max. You might consider a quality rifle school to give yourself more confidence with your rifle. How much time do you spend getting in shape for hunting season? What do you hunt? When I read your post I perceive you to be more of a shooter than a hunter. I am a bit of both. I have a few rifles with dual purpose for range/hunting. My 6.5 CM is great for the range and hunting, ammo is not terrible, and it is a short action. You can buy a sub moa rifle for under $1K (sake/tikka/browning). You need about $1500 for good glass. You don’t need to be rich but you do have to pick and limit your passions. [B]I will play along:[/B] * 50 going on 40 * Sales Management * X wife of 22 yrs got $$$$ but not my guns * No kids, but I did pay for invetro 5 times *If any of you have an attractive daughter at least 30, athletic, likes hunting (ability to pack out a rear elk quarter a +) and more to the conservative side?
