    Perhaps our help with these sorts of questions could be better directed in emphasising the need for a sub-MOA rifle, and with a scope that dials consistently, making sure the load's capability is known (trajectory and terminal) and the ability to both determine and then apply look-ups for any distance where humane shots might reasonably be taken on game, and encourage folk that for every one bullet they let fly in the field, another ninety-nine should be going into targets for practise.
    Under that scenario I would go broke

    I doubt there would be a hunter on this forum that would fire 99 bullets at targets for every 1 shot fired at game.
    When hunting think safety first
