[QUOTE="bigben, post: 708626, member: 3126"] Hello i recently rediscovered this site after joining years ago. This past summer i really got into ghog hunting again and it really got me interested in hunting at long ranges for more then just ghogs. Here is some video from this past years hunts. I didnt think about filming till i was almost done shooting for the year. Most of the misses where when i was learning clicks on my .243. I usually shoot a .223 and use a nikon bdc ret for it. [url]http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj45/bigben8011/ghog.mp4[/url] I also just bought a 6.5x.284 norma model 116 savage. I dont like the stock and would like to replace it. I was thinking the choate stocks but not sure if i want to go that route yet. I got the gun tho for mainly long range deer, ghogs , and bear. I got some 142 smk for hogs and targets but was wondering what kind of bullet i should shoot for deer and bear? Also what is the realistic effective range on these bullets for deer and bear? I was looking at the berger vlds. I also would like to purchase a scope for hunting chucks. I was thinking about buying the swfa super sniper. Prob in 16x. A friend is really into millet and he keeps pushing me to get one for this gun. Any recommendations? Thanks [/QUOTE]
