I think we are saying the same thing almost here Ak. I value all's opinion, except Frizz's statement, could be left out. I remember when I was 14 dreaming of owning the biggest caliber on the block. I don't believe intelligence has alot to do with it. Its just a young shooter likeing big guns. Fortunately for me when I was 16, I didn't have near the means to even go shooting more than 3 or 4 times a year. Even with my trusty 270Win. So fortunely I couldn't fullfill my dreams of haveing a barrel burner. And I am glad, cause I sure wan't ready for one. Thats just me.
