Again we seem to be trying to get a DR to do the work it was never intended to carry out. Long range, flat shooting rifles exist aplenty in bolt actions without trying to consider making a DR fill that role. And while one can get very good accuracy out of a DR, and my W&S in 250-3000 and Merkel 141 in 30-06 are quite accurate out to a reasonable range, why make a design intended for dangerous game or 'meat pot' filling out to 100 or 150yds max work as a Benchrest or Mountain Goat slayer? A bolt costing far less will always function better at longer ranges and a follow up shot with a good bolt action at long range will be only a hair slower if you take the time to learn your rifle.

I shot in informal 300 meter CISM competition with some other elderly farts. Using a Grunig & Elmiger and open sights for the first round (yes I can still do so despite my years) a ten round string within time limits results in a very presentable group. Take the Anschutz diopter sight off the rail and slide on a 36X Weaver target scope and this old fart can still make 10 timed rounds of 6.5X47 Lapuas go into one ragged hole at 300. I have seen others do the same with off-the-shelf Remington 700s.

So let's not get lost trying to turn a good short to medium range DR into what it was never designed for.
