The other variable, at least for me, is that ability to find and use a steady shooting position. In the terrain I hunt being able to shoot from a prone position off of a bipod or other rest is like winning the lottery, even being able to shoot from a seated position off of shooting sticks is rare. If almost all my shots need to be made offhand or kneeling due to slash, tall grass, or underbrush there is very little point to rigging up a rifle for long range shooting. Even a using a "flat shooter" has limited value a lot of the time, I deffinatly am not comfortable shooting 300 yards from a kneeling position.
