Why do so many guys carry varmint weight rifles when coyote hunting? Given that sporter barrel is nearly, if not as accurate for cold bore shots and 1 MOA accuracy is more that adaquate for coyotes out to 300 yds. I know that there are alot of super shooters out there who can kill coyotes out past 500 yds off of shooting sticks, but for the average guy 300 yds. is a handfull off of sticks.
For prairie dogs and woodchucks the heavy barrel makes sense in terms of heat disipation and absorbing recoil, but do either come into play in predator hunting?
I guess what I am asking is, Are alot of guys packing 10-12lb. rifles for no real reason other than they think that they will be more accurate.
