This is a very difficult sport in which to introduce anything truly new and actually
useful. The rate of change is very slow - is there any other sport, hobby, vocation, occupation - whatever - that employs mechanical devices wherein one of the very best for purpose was designed in 1911? Or 1903/1906?
Believe me, I've played this game long enough to see many highly touted "innovations" come and go. Way too many "revolutionary" developments that no one even remembers have come and gone in my time. And that's why this one has kind of gotten my attention. The PMR, or PCR (or whatever acronym we want to apply) appears to actually be a notable step forward. The whole package - rifle, optics, apps, instrumentation - all of it working together - has dramatically increased first shot hit probability at extended range. I like that. A lot. From a lifetime shooting geek's perspective, it's all very intriguing.
This is my long range match rifle. I've pretty much ignored about a century and a half worth of development subsequent to when this thing was the "latest and greatest". None of that development interested me - until now. I've got some ground to make up between this 1874 Sharps in .45-100, with its cast bullets and black powder. That's kind of exciting, though. Not many shooters' lifetimes actually span any kind of useful new development...
