Some day when you can spare some time, take a ride to Gillette Wy. Take rt 59 south thru town about 5 miles to Hoe creek rd and turn right.
About 2 miles will bring you to Macs Gunworks on the right. Chuck Macintosh is the owner/gunsmith. He also has a range there where you canshoot at steel targets at 100 yd intervels out to 2000 yds.
He is a very easy guy to meet and get to know. He would no doubt let you shoot one of his guns.
Probably even one of his long range pistols.
You will find that good guns shoot, and they will shoot well for everybody with pretty much whatever you feed them.
