I wouldn't mess with the laminated mountaineer until, if and when it needs it.give one of the older .45 cals a bed job maybe the 1:20 flavor, if you really think it will improve accuracy that much!

My personal opinion only... but I think if you are looking for really long range shooting a 50 cal will provide much better platform with the options available... UNLESS you move to big heavy lead conicals... then as has been proven by Knight and White for 7 years running the 1-18 twist - 45 cal would be the weapon. It would be a long slow flight with plenty of arch but it would be the most likely to stay on course over a very long distance...

Can't help with your decision, but glasbed really really helped the 50 extreme, and now i can't easily decide whether to use the 45 or the 50 in the late doe season.

Perhaps this is stupid question but what's the diff between comp and synthetic?

Aren't they the same thing? Are you talking laminate?

TIMEOUT::: a composite stock is a synthetic plastic stock... did you not get a Laminate stock on the gun from MD.

Problem is you can not get a heavy enough 40 cal bullet to shoot in a sabot from your 1-20 to over-ride all exterior forces that the bullet will go through on it's way to a long range target. The why at the National Championships they always shoot big lead.

It takes very little cross-winds on a 40 cal sabotted bullet to move it left-right/up-down. And shooting across open lands for a very long distance you will/may encounter different wind patterns - temperatures along the way - that can all effect the flight of the bullet.

Just some things to think about...
