All of you factors should be true of a gun no matter what, if you need to actively specify them there's something wrong. The question I was asking was more to find out what he planned on doing with the rifle.YankeeTarheel wrote: Thu Dec 06, 2018 11:48 am I'd guess the "what" has 4 factors
1) Go "bang"
2) Go "bang" without having to clear jams.
3) Go "bang" and not blow up after a few hundred rounds.
4) Hit what is aimed at.
But I'm just guessing.
Someone planning to use the rifle primarily for hunting, for example, might have a greater interest in making it lighter weight so that it's less fatiguing to carry through the woods. Additionally where they're hunting could come into play. Here in southwest Missouri, among the Ozark Mountains and the Mark Twain National Forest, it's less common to have a clear shot at game beyond 100 yards. As such it would be out of the question to choose a shorter barrel (lower muzzle velocity) and lower powered optic (if that were part of the discussion) than someone hunting in areas where 200+ yard shooting was far the norm.
