I lol'd at that comment too. There's guys on this forum that do 4-8k miles on a good season so it's not out of the realm for a guy like that to ride that much in my opinion.
Have a buddies .243 that my boy has been shooting to get used to a rifle. My wife shot it too, first time shooting a rifle for her. Rhe poc is her target. Seems to shoot well for the price point.
