It's been said that a fancy rifle doesn't shoot any better then a plain one.
I always reply "it don't shoot any worse either"!
I also hunt with a fairly nice rifle. I don't abuse it, but I hunt like I would with any rifle that had a wood stock. I don't baby it much
I have killed elk, one moose, several antelope and several deer with it. I hope to kill a whole lot more of them in the future too.
Happy hunting Jerry. I hope you make piles of meat with that beautiful rifle.
