I find it amusing that someone claims being an engineer, preventso them from going modern.

I do not have an ar15. But I think many are being chicks by sticking with wood guns. I don't have a lot of experience but I don't think it's hard to argue the pistol grip is a natural grip. Adjustable stock would be nice too.

engineers should be concerned with performance, over cosmetics.


as for 6.5mm rifles, I do question. Some long range hunters like less recoil, so increased accuracy. I believe that.

if you are shooting at long ranges, and open country, it might not matter if it runs. Though I have seen white tail run with longs gone. Not sure if they would run less from smaller caliber.

I like bigger calibers cause I hunt close range in heavy bush. Not a lot if deer here, you don't wait for them to come back another day with text book shot.

last year was my first odd angle. 45-70 dropped him.

but I get wide open country is different. Ballistic chacteristics of some modern rounds is better too
