Wow, this is the reason I don't need to watch soaps like the wife does,,,, I just come in here.
It's taken so long to read nine pages of posts I've probably forgotten some of them but here goes.
Ian R. is right the proof is on the paper, I currently have a rig worth over 5K and use it to shoot long range matches, it works very well.
I started out with a used Ruger in an odball caliber and for the 1100 I spent on it it shot very well too , but wasn't built for really long range.
As for the bulls#$% about you can't win with lesser priced equipment that just what it is... b.s. I have a big dollar rig because it's a "purpose built unit" It's no good for hunting, its too heavy to carry around it's only good for putting holes in paper a long way away.
Related to cars it's a Ferrari of the sport.
but
What I drive is a 4 Dr. F-150 and i'll out race a Ferrari every time if I get to pick the race course. Try getting to the 700 acres of crown land we have with the Ferrari and you,ll see.
Multi purpose equipment , wether is cars or guns is just that, multi purpose and won't be as good as specific units built for specific goals. This is typically where most people start their shooting with multi purpose tools and learn to upgrade them towards specif goals which will be different for everyone.
I've shot fantastic targets with a Remington based rifle and I've built a few on custom pieces they've all had their plusses and minuses, I've gone to a 1000 yard match with my big $ piece and got my a$$ handed to me by a guy with a factory Savage and a Leup scope (thanks bob, laff) , because he's a damn good shooter and was on the ball that day right down to his technique and his reloading skills. He's the reason I just got my older boy a Brand New Savage to get him started in F-Class this year , he didn't have available funds to built something specific but we wanted a good reliable piece that will shoot very well, I don't care who's name is on the equipment if it works , it works. The proof is on the paper.
Cheap and Precision CAN go in the same sentance.
KDX, nice shooting man, that is very precise... keep it up.
As quoted before "performance not cost"
X2 Noneck180, laff. I feel better too.
As for Obtunded (Ian) and Jerry.... laff..... those two work their a$$'s off for the shooting community.
As for our Ottawa based pesimist if there were shooting Gods Ian would be a consideration for the group, he's a fantastic shooter with the experience and match wins to back that up. I suggest you show up at the matches , beat him, THEN , tell him he's no good for the sport. Just cause he might have hurt your feelings it doesn't make him a bad shooter, it probably just makes him honest.
There are people here with huge amounts of experience and knowledge and newer shooters would be better off to listen to the voice of experience , you can't shooter for 20-30 yrs and not learn something.
Guys like Ian R. likely have more experience than almost any 2-3 shooters combined in this thread. Unfortunatly alot of the top experienced guys don't get into this type of conversation due to the b.s. and bashing that goes on which means the newer guys are missing out on alot of good advice.
And as mentioned before being able to type doesn't make you a good shooter.
Get out, get shooting, have fun. Buy the best that you can afford and work your way up like all of us had to do.
