Most everyone who knows me knows I tend to poke the pig. That said, why are YOU not shooting a 6X discipline? What “excuse” are you using? No eyes left? That one is legitimate. Can’t win? That one is an illegitimate child.
Anyone can build a VFS gun and get out there and shoot 250-?x’s. 36x + scope, 30BR, 4198, Lapua brass……take it and run. But it takes a bit of practice, a good gunsmith, the ability to tune, and a set of balls to shoot a 250 in 6X, whether it be HBR or Vhtr. And by the way, a girl, or rather, a lady, proved to all of us who shot 6X at the BUD 2 weeks ago, how to do the job right!! Sarah Herren put on a lesson in 6X shooting. My point is, get off your fat butt and get w/ the program!
For those who want to flame, bring it ON! For those who want to shoot, get with it. There are a lot of HBR and VFS rifles out there that are gathering a lot of rust and dust. Why? They should be being shot!! The 2 gun record is there to be broken. The 2 gun discipline gives you the possibility to shoot more, more often. What is the problem?

David, you’re overlooking THE salient feature: desire . . . people do what they want to do, not what they are challenged to do.
I’d bet that most people shoot for enjoyment, as opposed to the
challenge – this is nothing new I’ve observed it for thirty years now . .
. come to think of it, human nature is pretty static. RG

Randy I believe you are right. Dad has one 6x Rifle (we) share it… I have other rifles, and they are either for VFS or LV/HV or other sports… I just don’t have room just yet for a 6x rifle. But I will. And not because of David’s taunting, because I like it. Once people try 6x they will most likely enjoy it. They wont just try it because David said they should.
I think the lesson is… “you can catch more flies with sugar than vinegar”.

is the 6xc better than the 6×47 lapua ? I don’t think so or the
dasher or just the plain old 6br. maybe better than two of these
cailbers at a 1000yds if its windy out but than a lot is still the
shooter.
