Would an Aero m5 with a criterion 6.5 22" barrel be considered a long range gun, or are bolt guns just superior to a gas gun and used.
My 16” 6.5 Criterion can get 50% hits on e-Type, IPSC, and coyote silhouette targets at 1k yards… and I suck at wind reads.
6” more barrel will only increase your capability in long range. It’ll give you nearly 300fps more velocity and save you ~10” of windage at 1k with a 5mph wind.
