    6-700yd Mountain deer gun opinions?

    Exactly what I was thinking. If you're looking for green grass...........just look down!

    .308 load for MN black bear?

    Sounds like you need a big, slow bullet that could go through some brush without exploding. Just glanced at the Hornady 220 gr InterLock RN. Some of the guys should be able to advise if it might work. You would still want some long range rounds in your pocket for the occasional longer shot...

    Chukar hunting

    That sounds fantastic. Love the Reno area. See any deer?

    Let's see your Varmint rifles !

    Love #4-.223. Barrel looks long and heavy.

    Finally the Defensive Edge LRKM is unveiled

    The obvious question is where will we get brass? Also, do you know if the .308 Palma has proven out and, if so, did you consider small primer?

    WTH is with these scope prices??

    If R gets his class strategy in effect we will all have to sell our firearms to pay taxes to cover the rich.

    WTH is with these scope prices??

    The apparent tax rates on Corps and the rich is meaningless. Their true tax rate is way less than that via loopholes,............ of all kinds. That's why many millionaires pay NO income taxes at all. I though everyone understood that-guess not. Only us dumb commoners are stuck with the tax...

    WTH is with these scope prices??

    Yes, indeed, the apparent tax rate is quite high. The effective tax rate, after all the creative accounting those corps, is probably extremely small. IE-they hide most of the true profits. Believe it!

    WTH is with these scope prices??

    You nailed it, partner. That's why the free market isn't working anymore - we ain't got one. The rich have control of everything and they are getting even richer, of course. If they can get the jerkdogMUTT in, they will be able to further reduce their pathetically inadequate tax "burden"...

    WTH is with these scope prices??

    The military teaches a pretty darn good sitting position which gets your point of aim up to about 2 feet above ground.

    How far away will you shoot at a deer?

    I think I assumed that he meant flinching from the sound, and he probably meant just arbitrary jitters when they are just not feeling comfortable. I adjusted my sos upward for altitude. How's that for BS?

    My little spotter!

    You'll never top that trophy for sure. Man, is she going to be expensive-note that hot pink case and stock. Dad's a lost cause for the next 15 years or so......lucky dog.....I got stuck with 2 boys. She's darling...............glad I won't be worrying about her...............well, not...

    How far away will you shoot at a deer?

    If the speed of sound is slower than the speed of the bullet, he will twitch on impact and then hear the bad news. Speed of sound is in the 1120 ft/sec range. So, unless your bullet is attached to the front end of an arrow, you're cool. If you meant a random twitch, my point is moot.

    kimber/ Remington/Winchester

    The .308 will also likely do both jobs and seems to be very popular. Are you familiar with Lapua .308 Palma, if superior accuracy is one of your goals?

    How far away will you shoot at a deer?

    I think the proper phrasing of the question would better be: at what range would you flatly refuse to chance a shot? It might be 400 yards in windy conditions yet 1000+ with perfect conditions. Hopefully anyone with a 30-30 would have a reasonable max limit. .338 Lapua maybe way the heck out...
