Thread: WHAT IS A "LONG RANGE GUN/RIFLE"?

A long range gun is typically something that is overly heavy, impractical and loud. The bonus thought is bragging/wanking on rights at the local pub/forum.
Typically adorned with mountains of clicky/bubble/spikey/ bollocks and scope of magnitudes that would make astronomers blush.
Seldom a rifle that is kept for long or lives in the cabinet for that "special day" it may be useful (other than shooting goats at your mates farm cause its not so bad on the quad).

Best you just speak for your self I reckon.
My multipurpose short range/longrange rifle is light enough to cart all day gets dragged out of the cabinet average once a week has a suppressor and is now on its second barrel as the last one just plain worn out.
I did something unusual when I rebarelled and kept it the same chambering?
As for wanking on at the pub and forums I just leave that to the ones that want to and just potter of to the gun room and make more ammo to kill more shit whether it be paper or meat.
You are right on one thing I do have a bubble level but that is only for the practical reason of precision shot placement.
Long range gun heavy impractical and loud.
Yours perhaps but mine, it cant be long range as doesnt fit the above criteria!
