Dog is vaccinated for rabies so I don't worry if mine tangles with coyote while bird hunting.
Let’s see your coyote rifle!

How do you like that SWFA 6X? I got the 10X but thinking that 6X would be good for big game hunting.

How are they in low light? I'm thinking 600 yard limit with maybe a very rare 800 yard shot. TIA
Do you let your bird dog chase rabbits when you are bird hunting? My dad used to really hate for his dogs to chase rabbits. Seems that once they got away with that once or twice, they were hard to break from that habit.
skipglo, treeslug here. I have a friend that has some gunpowder he wants to sell. I do not know if anyone here would be interested in these powders or what they would pay, but if I can figure out how to put a picture from my email on to this site, it may be something someone needs. If you know anyone that might be able to tell me how to do that, Have them PM me. Thanks
Bud...you can do it two ways....however easiest...click on the pic...save it to your desktop...if on your phone...click and save to photos....then come here....attach file button... upload pic....
Thanks, comrade buddy. My way smarter than I will ever be wife did it for me. It is posted in the classified section under reloading. I hope.
Nice bud...you will make a few people happy!
I hope so. I just got off the phone with Micah, the guy with the powder. He is unsure how much it is worth, but I don't think he will be a butthead about it.
Here is mine, I know were not suppose to have favorites they other rifles get jealous.
Yes Daddy loves you all equally LOL
It is actually an AI version now, man I tell you once I discovered AI I hogged out all my rifles.
This one shoots 70gr Blitz Kings 4200 FPS with a compressed load of RL17.
87gr Vmax's are good for 4000 FPS and will stabilize even in a 12 Twist.

My dog and I have this deal. I shoot it and he retrieves it. So if we're duck or pheasant or sharptail hunting that is easy. If a coyote gets up, he retrieves it. Rabbits, he retrieves it. We both like birds the most and a simple "leave it" command gets him off rabbits and coyotes if I am not interested.
I have hunted with that scope as well as various SWFA 3x9 and Nightforces. I can get past legal shooting hours where I hunt with all of them. I have had no issues with the 6x on game. That bear at 600 was very early one morning and I rang his bell pretty easily. Have held on many does at very last light and would have been no issues shooting them. For the price I just don't think they can be beat.
My dad is dead now, so I guess I can tell you that I love cottontail rabbit. When I was hunting quail and my dad was not around, I used to let her chase the cottontails. My dad always knew I did that, and sometimes I think he made a big show of not wanting her to chase those delicious little bunnies just to tease me. He loved rabbit, too.My dog and I have this deal.
