Re: Ideal Western Stateside Double!!

Okay, I was talking about zero, and yes, I was 'imprecise' but guys, do you really think we should be touting a DR as a 300yd+ tool? And are we really claiming that it is going to be as accurate or can be counted on to place more than one round out accurately at that range or more as a bolt? If so, then I must bow to those on this forum who have knowledge that I do not have and, to be blunt, that can be found no where else. I would submit that the absence of DRs in 300yd+ hunting situations is not a function of bias against them nor ignorance of their 'true capabilities' but a function of fact rather than speculation.

Guys, I love my doubles, but I don't let love blind me. I don't plan on taking any of my doubles out to the next 300 meter shot nor to Lodi for the 1000yd BP festival. I could do the latter, but I prefer not to embarass the rifle nor myself.

So, I am properly chastised for my foolish thoughts, but will take it in good humor. I've been called worse, and for less reason. Dave
