[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1597654, member: 104268"] Got a good deal on a Vortex Venom, so I think I'm gonna start there, and see where this goes. If it doesn't add up, I can always stick it on my Ruger MKII and giggle maniacally as I blast away at various things. This is a good point. There's almost nothing that is fast enough for a big creature at distances of "I think it actually wants to kill me?!?!". If it's inside 30 yds, and you don't have your gun in hand already, there's only the elite few (Miculek?) that can bring a big gun into action that fast. My OP was more along "tightly slung rifle while humping down the trail", but I agree that a rifle in any "casual ready" sling position is probably just as fast as a burly handgun in a holster. I run a 5-25 scope though, so I'll have to do some field testing to see just how hard that is for close up work. Either way, it's an excuse to burn H110, so it's pretty much a win-win. [/QUOTE]
