This has gotten pretty weird. Next thing I need to do is go race the Passat at the Indy 500. Now it sure won't do 200 mph, but by gully it will do 500 miles (maybe 130 max).
But then hey, the Passat was never intended to race at Indy. It was tested in real world driving conditions because that is what its targeted (pun) at and real world and you can get upwards of 300,000 miles on one. Granted that means some parts replacements along the way.
So while I am not a cylinder conversion guy, nothing wrong with doing it. Its all about what you are interested in or works for you what you like and your situation. What counts is we all like to shoot.
I have had more than one guy admire my rifle groups, wow, that is amazing. I know a lot of them can't do what I do, but then they go out every year and get their moose. As long as they can shoot a couple inch group at 100, they are good. They are real world, mine is not. I also have 13 lb rifle and a god awful powerful scope and the only way that would work would be to sit atop a mountain with a clear view and snipe moose.
Each to their own and whatever skillsets they have that works.
