Why not?

Not all handgun use is urban.
Admittedly, my MOA Maximum is a falling block,not a bolt gun. But its a 14 in bull barrel single shot in 260 Remington. With a 4X Leupold. An XP-100 would be an equivalent bolt gun.

A 120 gr bullet at 2600 will bench 5 shots you can cover with a quarter,

I can sit down,lean back on my elbow,rest the gun in my knee and bust a grapefruit at 200 yds with no problem.No bench, about like shooting a rifle sitting. Its a hunting gun.

It doesn't need a 15 rd mag. Just one well placed shot.

In my state, 2 wheels and a long gun have a rigid scabbard requirement,

Not so with a handgun.
