They are a cool rifle, incredibly accurate in the right hands. Deadly out in the field with the right optics and operator.
BUT!!, they are very heavy once you get said optics on them. It's not the sort of rifle you cart through the bush. The skills that you may learn from shooting this rifle at longer range are cool, but because the rifle is so technical and sensitive, you may struggle to transfer those skills to a hunting rifle unless you are going to shoot a LOT of ammunition down the range.
I don't think they are a 'beginners' rifle. Yes, you have to start somewhere, I know that.
Having said that I think you're being a bit hard on the guy 'Caberslash'.
