[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1828776, member: 2736"] What I am trying to say is, I wouldn't take a thousand yard shot off hand, but I also wouldn't take a thousand yard shot with a rifle that didn't shoot Sub 1/4 MOA. But with a rifle that shot 1/10 MOA I would and have shot beyond one thousand yards with nothing but a sling. It is a matter of knowing what your rifle can do, your ammo can do and what the shooter can do. A good shooting rifle can extend anyone's distance and instill confidence to shoot to your ability. If you go beyond your rifles or your on ability the outcome is very predictable. It also places the burden of an accurate hit directly on the shooter because he has no excuse and no one to blame but himself if the shot is bad. I have turned down many shots for any of these reasons and never regretted it. So I wan't to know what my rifle will do before I make a shot. It's just My opinion and way. :) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
