Re: What do you think of the SR-25?

After about 2 years he sold it. I asked why, and he said that once he got the trajectory dope all worked out, it was boring because it was simply too easy to hit with it.
He lived and hunted in the S.E. Oregon high desert country and was extremely hard on firearms and vehicles, but he said the SR25 he had was flawless, easy to hit with, never malfunctioned. So he went on to black powder cartridge 1000 yard cowboy shooting. He said it is much harder to hit with those rifles at 1000 yards.</div></div>
I don't doubt what YOU say is true but as for your buddy, I'm calling <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">bullshit</span></span> because I'm sure he is the FIRST guy in the history of firearms who sold his rifle as a result of it being boring to shoot because it was <span style="font-style: italic">'too accurate'</span>.
<span style="font-style: italic">What a crock of shit!</span>
I wonder what the <span style="font-style: italic">real</span> reason was and it possibly could've been that he couldn't hit shit with it because everyone knows a semi-auto is an entirely different animal than a bolt gun.
KAC makes nice rifles, no doubt, and they will drive tacks for certain...if the nut behind the trigger knows what he's doing. I don't dispute the reliability or accuracy. I just think the price is outrageous but...hey, if it's what you want to spend your bankroll on, have fun with it. </div></div>
He never said it was "too accurate", I said he got tired of it because it was too easy for him to hit with it, and there is a huge difference in those two things. Once he figured out all the elevation dope, it just wasn't amusing for him any more, so he sold it. Between the rifles consistency, and his Swarovski range finder, getting the elevation wasn't a challenge for him.
But then he lived in an in a house where he could shoot out to 1500 yards any time he wanted to. He just got bored with the setup.
In my humble opinion, no rifle is "too accurate". But I have also gotten bored with plenty of rifles and swapped or sold them.
