Myself I hunted with a 270 for years before our property grew to bigger fields with 400yd shots frequently needed so jumped up to a 300Wby Mag. The 270 will have a little bigger punch to the shoulder then the 243 for sure. I would guess you would handle the difference in punch unless the shoulder is in real rough shape. Sight the 270 in with the lead sled so you feel nothing as you get it to tack driving and with the excitement of the hunt/shot you won’t notice the little kick.

I decided to put cam up by the shoreline at my friends lot on Lake Ontario, to catch the foxes that roam along there every winter. In past years I have seen remains of geese and ducks and a seagull , just feathers remaining and blood in the snow. I have also seen tracks from the foxes going out onto the ice pack on the shoreline. I checked the cam last week and the geese and fox were in pic, and a fox with goose in its mouth headed away from cam. They know where to find food along the waterfront.

And the ones above that keep bashing this site while promoting the other site should be thrown out on their ass and not allowed to speak a word on this site regardless of the length of time it’s left breathing.

luberhill started following .243 vs .270 recoil

I usually hunt with a .243 for deer and have killed several . I have a chance to buy a .270 cheap . I do have a bad shoulder and that’s part of the reason I picked the .243 How much harder does the .270 kick ? And is it that much better for deer
-
Yes , burmjohn had the opportunity to sell the site as he had offers to sell . As long as the site is making money for him , the site will be around . There are those on another site that are hoping for this site's failure especially some whiners how were banned for various reasons . Keep on truckin' ............

I think this rifle is for someone who lives where owning a semi auto rifle is a problem with the law, this rifle with some practice will throw a lot of lead if that is what you are looking for. It actually has some pretty nice lines. Al

Kinda in line with all the new Air Rifles that are shooting arrows at 450ps. Kinda neat idea. The haters would have to come up with something different then “Crossguns”

burmjohn bailed on this site years ago! He took members money for merch, and bailed on that too! I know for fact, that the owner from "the other NY outdoors forum" tried unsuccessfully to purchase this site for over two years! He wanted to keep this place going!! With the old, and new members coming, like it used to be, to keep it growing.. But again burmjohn bailed! So.....this place will certainly die a slow painful death, like a gut shot deer, with no chance of living on. There are still some guy's here that I have huge respect for!! Doc is surely among them. I check in here periodically just to see what's up. But rarely post anymore, because I was made to feel unwelcome by some members here, because I joined the "other" site too. Like so many others did from here. So be it. I don't think I'm missed much here. But I can guarantee, that if anyone joins the"other" site, they will be welcomed!!! It's growing over there!! With new members, and ideas coming in all the time! And even free give aways to members from the owner!! Imagine that here?? And you can still come here too, you don't have to give this up. I haven't.. Like I said, some great members here that I've shared ideas with for years. And value their content and experience greatly!! As a chosen moderator on the "otherside" I will be among the first to welcome you!! It never was 'us against them' for me. It doesn't have to be for those holdouts here either. You can do both, and enjoy getting answers to your posts again

Sorry to say I will not be able to attend. We are putting off the car delivery to Ted until next weekend. Sorry gang.

I know this isn't going to be popular. What ever the reason bumjohn abandoned the site, the fact is only he can authorize new members, and he hasn't let anyone in for quite sometime. Members got frustrated and a few even tried purchasing the site, including the owner of "the site we can't name" or get banned, with no response either way from the owner. More and more members left here looking for something else. Most got a "good riddance" and you won't be missed goodbye. Lots of fantastic data, and information given out over the years. It would be a shame to see it go dark. But now, realistically, this site is a group of guys in a chatroom not a forum.

The accuracy is typical for factory ammo and out of the box rifles of that type, I would bet groups could be improved with handloads. I do not think it would ever be what I would call a tack driver. Al
-
Not very accurate though

I've seen bucks with their antlers well into March. Many keep saying that bucks have already shed by the new "family" hunt week between Christmas and New Year thus they are against the season. Yeah, maybe a few have but I think the majority of bucks still carry them for a good while after that. -

Checked out Brownville the other day and I see most of the Bucks have dropped their antlers, the big boy they call Vincent is still wearing his rack. Al -
I will always belong to and support the NRA Al
-
People do have a way of coming up with new actions in firearms, this Alcor Push Button is something different, will it become mainstream? Al
-
At least one of the old timers here admits that this place is doomed. The few other regulars keep telling us that it's thriving and better than ever. LOL

So this forum is indeed doomed to a slow death. With no new members coming in to replace those who die or leave, the numbers will continue to dwindle, with the only new members being hackers. That would explain the lack of participation here. I remember all those newbies that used to post and respond to posts back in the days when this was a growing forum. Now it is just a handful of us old-timers that do any posting, and any responding to the few posts that we have. That is sad. I've been here 15 years, but I wonder how much longer my membership continues to make any sense. Without Owner participation, this forum is doomed. Why it hasn't been turned over to someone else, I can't imagine. For the Owner to just simply abandon the site and all the people in it, seems like a most irresponsible act that is a slap in the face to all the hunters that have counted on this form of communication between outdoorsmen and women.

Yes, who else is actively fighting for our 2nd amendment rights. I also belong to SCOPE for the same reasons. For me it is just putting my money where my mouth is. Yes, the libs have done a good job of painting the NRA as an evil enterprise, and that just gives me yet another reason to maintain my membership.
-
Although I have heard some negative things said about the NRA , I still support them . I signed up for another 4 years .

In the trees or on the ground for your deer hunting?
fasteddie replied to Doc's topic in Bow Hunting
Even at my old age , I prefer tree stands . Mostly for the visibility . It is much easier to get busted but that is the chance that I take . -
Some of the alleged members joined 21 hours ago . Odd that so many joined at the same time . one of them has a hunting location listed as Serbia .
