I was chatting with a mate of mine who's over in Oz, he reckons he was out shooting bazillion dollar .300WSM customs with his trusty old .260, and causing some pained posteriors in the process.

I think the main thing to remember is that no matter the action, no matter the amount of that has been spent on it, you can't buy just being a good shot.
