I thought about using " Promiscuity --- Do Your Skills Transfer" as the thread title, but was concerned about the PC police. Webster: Prosmiscuity - (formal) An indiscriminate mixing of elements. (in this case, rifles) hence the question---

Within the realm of scoped modern high power rifles [NOT iron sighted carbines and muzzleloaders]:

Some folks develop an " intimate relationship" with one scoped rifle and consider that as the best way to become an optimum performer. Others " play the field" with a fair cross section of scoped high power rifles. So, if one is a crack shot with one, then do you find that the learning curve starts all over again from scratch with each new or different rifle? Or is it the case of " give me any of the well-sighted in high power rifles out of the " stable" (new addition or old) and any pie plate within 200 yards is in some serious trouble!"

I' m thinking my skills with one DO transfer from one to another!
And, I' d say that even the little chicken pot pie plate is at risk!

First hand experience please, no anecdotal quotes or beliefs -- thanks!
