Yup... For me, only a hunter shooting modest ranges and recreational target shooter ... My barrel may very well be defined as 'shot out' by a bench rest shooter. But for me, the 1/2 " at 100 yards or 3-4 " at 250 yards is just fine. I can't hardly see that far anymore. Even if I was to buy top line optics I'd be hard pressed to be able to take advantage of the 300 yrd range at my club. Maybe with a whole bunch of practice and instruction I might be able to think about taking game at distances beyond 200 yards .. but for me I'm fine with what is working for me right now.

If I'm lucky I'll still be able to take the field with a gun by myself for another 15-20 years. That would be great.
