Tx---I agree with your post. However, I think with the proper range time a lot of us could turn a ML into a long distance killing rifle. True 300 yards may be to far for some, but I think the range time will show them what their equipment can do in their hands. Maybe its only going from 150 to 200 yards.....but at least they are confident not only in their equipment but in their capabilities as well. I'm not saying that i'll be taking 300 yard shots all ML season either.....but I'm wanting to know that i can take the proper adjustments from the range time I plan on puttin in in the near future that I can take an ethical shot at that distance. Again the MAIN section that I hunt has a 138-142yard longest shot. I'm thinking of either a 125 or 150 yard zero--DrAsus
