[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1696370, member: 33046"] First, what is you definition of [I]"longer distance shooting"[/I] ? Long distance.. means different things to different shooters. Some shooters feel that anything past 100yds is long range. Most today consider ranges beyond 200yds as long range and targets are easily shot to 500yds, accurately. However, a .50cal will not get you either the range or energy that a .45cal can provide, especially with the plentiful amount of bullets available. With today's modern inline rifles, all are capable of shooting to 200yds with very good accuracy, some even great accuracy. There is no question that the .45cal rifles are more accurate at distance. I'll suggest this...……. determine exactly what your...……. future...….. wants may be. This stuff can get addicting extremely fast. Some jump in with costs involved, then purchase a cheap rifle and scope combination, which may or may not give the owner what they're looking for. After decades of this, its a lot easier buying what makes you happy, instead of what just satisfies you. How far are you willing to go...……..??? :) [/QUOTE]
