Most rifles are more accurate than the person shooting them anyway so why not strive to find the rifle you shoot best and then the bullet the rifle shoots best. keep it simple but a clean kill is the goal not a perfect bullseye. I am not comfortable shooting past 200yrds at deer for fear of a nonfatal wound. Therfore a rifle that shoots a consistent 1"-2" group will work. I like to read mr Hawks articles but have found that he and most other writers have a talent for"complicating the obvious". shoot what you like and shoot it well!
