I mean, what was wrong with the good 'ol aught-six and seven Mauser after all?
(only halfway kidding. I mean, those two can still cover 95% of our uses!)

Not everyone. My last new rifle purchase was in 2000. Probably my last. mtmuleyAnd bow companies, and camo companies, and golf companies, and phone companies, and car companies, and camera companies...
Forky, why is that sad? What I have works. If the stars align I would like to have a nice Remington bolt rifle in .22. Other than that, I'm good. mtmuley
The inconvenient truth about long range hunting that nobody ever talks about is the difficulty in knowing exactly where an animal was standing when you shot, after you travel across a ridge or ravine or river or two in fading light. Makes a person wonder how may wounded animals were "clean misses" according to the shooter. The ability of a cartridge to deliver enough energy at that range is secondary IMO to the ability of a hunter to find exactly the spot where the animal was standing, 20, 30, or 100 minutes after the fact.Hell yeah!
A new cartridge with its main selling point being a 1000 yard hunting rifle, exactly what we needed!!! I hear it's so deadly, you don't even have to look for blood/the animal if it didn't drop in its tracks because nothing can survive even the most marginal of hits with that baby!!! #FeakenLazerBeam #Deadly #7mmBackCountry #DeaderThanDead #IfItsBrownAt1000YardsItsDown
There are ways to determine that these days. onX and some rangefinders have the capability to do just that. mtmuley
Maybe they will chamber it in a Tikka with a buttery smooth action. mtmuley
Who is going to start the "hunttalk .17 big game kills" thread?

It was meant more tongue in cheek.
