[QUOTE="Broz, post: 636623, member: 7503"] Gary, it's all good, no offence taken at all. But remember earlier in this thread I stated I may use this rifle on occation to take an elk too. That is why I don't want to go smaller than 7mm. I have a 25-06, a 6 mm and some other squirrel rifles already. :) The things that are taking me in the direction I am are the two things that will be the biggest obstacles. Long distances, and wind. Up where we often see wolves distance and wind are almost always part of the shooting solution. I really don't think these wolves will lay down for a leg shot from a small bullet either. Heck, I wounded a yote last winter durring a spray and pray session with the ar 15. The next morning I tracked him 2 miles then seen another dog in the flats below. So i went and set up on him and dumped him. Turned out to be the one I was tracking with dried blood where he took one in the ear and also one high in the rear leg the night before.:D Now, it is true, I rarely go under gunned. But I am of the school of get em down and dead as fast as possible. As for the horse, and brake. Really out in the open the brakes are not that bad. The rains will be dropped and I will find Boone later. If I have to walk out, I will. But he will probably beat me home.:D However we are training and working on making him bomb proof too.
