And there is also simple ballistic facts and science. What some gunpornmag writes prostituting himself doesn't make it true. Ballistics is fact not opinion.

$100 rifle opinion? Shooting tiny groups with cheap fmj ammo opinion? Well it probably cost me $250. But they were selling for $100 a couple years before then. A new synthetic stock maybe $400. Needs a non military two stage trigger. No need for those special $8000 fadcy rifles the extreme long range promoters want to sell.

Thousands of shooters also laugh at the creedmoof. There are hundreds of memes laughing at it.

As for looking for the latest and "best" most of the cm fanatics will move onto the latest advertising fad when it is promoted. I'm guessing it will be back to the .270. A new fat straight walled sharp shouldered .277 which shoots slower than a .270 Winchester. But is "better". Ha ha.

I don't shoot animals at extreme long range. 400 metres is already too far. Unethical to take extreme LR shots. If in the mountains I might try a bit longer if it is impossible to get closer. Usually hunting does allow. Or the animal escapes. Thats hunting which is not trophy collecting.

Here's an idea for extreme LR "hunters". No Austrian hunting licences with two black dots? Well the EXTREME LR "hunter" after wounding an animal at extreme LR should ritually burn all his precious LR equipment, rifle, scope, ammo, spotting scope, computer, wind meter, video cameras, digital cameras, smart phone, pacemaker, walking frame, motorised wheelchair, portable expresso machine, incontinence pads, sedan chair porters, SUV etc all on a ritual bonfire in shame.
