I give up. The Browning Micro Medallion is a fantastic whitetail hunting rig for woods hunting and snap shots and even up to 250 yards in open country. It's not a long range sniper rifle. Those are two different guns both of which will put down a deer with different equipment and techniques. I'd say if you're not happy trade it for a 7 mag with 26" barrel with scope pushing the weight over 9 pounds for steady long range holds. Get a bipod while you're at it and get it up over 11 pounds for shots to 400 yards.
