ajsaxin - I must take offense to the following part of your post: "What is the point of using a scope staying half a mile away and shooting it,u might as well have a UAV blowing he animal up from above.If you do not have the skill to shoot the animal with out a scope then dont hunt."

I use a scope, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I've yet to run into anyone out in the bush shooting at animals "half a mile away".

I believe, we as hunters and stewards of wildlife, have a moral and ethical obligation to take an animal's life as cleanly, quickly, and humanely as possible. Anyone who says they can place a shot as accurately from 100 meters away with iron sights as they can with a scoped firearm is probably in politics, and doesn't know what the truth is. Also, my 60+ year old eyes no longer can adjust to using iron sights, so I guess you believe that we seniors shouldn't be hunting any longer. Last year I shot a wonderful old Cape Buffalo from +- 160 yards after a 4 hour stalk on hands and knees, and belly crawling, because there was absolutely no more cover to use in the Chobe River flood plain where we were hunting in Namibia's Caprivi Strip. One shot from my scoped 416 Rigby killed the buffalo immediately. He didn't take 5 steps.
