  1. real tall spike at 28 yds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Good morning so far had a buck rub a bush under me while I was screwing in my steps to hang my stand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. You can get a tikka t3 hunter and a vx3 2-7 to go on it and be under 1k and have an extremely capable rifle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Hard to pinpoint it because different models changed lines at different times "at least that's how I had it explained to me from a former employee." But I would stay with anything prior to 2000 is safe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I would not recommend a new Remington to anyone so for me Remington is out. I have never owned a Winchester model 70 but have shot a bunch and they all shot and handled well but all were older. Rugers are awesome but I hate their new safeties. In that price range I would recommend a tikka t3 hunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Thy wasn't a question. Nor is it trolling you made a statement I questioned it you denied it I corrected you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I'm with you, if you can get a young teen in the woods and get them to experience the woods waking up that's an experience they will never forget. Who cares if they are going to love it or not. My wife has hunted for 12 years and never pulled the trigger and I don't think she ever will. She just enjoys being in the woods. I highly doubt my daughter will be a lifelong hunter she just didn't have the drive and desire that I do but I still ask her if she wants to tag along or go shoot squirrels with me everyday during season. If she says yes 3 or 4 times a year they are my 3 or 4 best days of the year. I just hope she feels the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. My daughter loves the outdoors more fishing and shooting than hunting but she still tags along hunting as long as I pack enough snacks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. When you have nothing to worry about hiding life is much easier! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. You said "I can guarantee that" not the same as probably not even similar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. My question still stands where are you getting these "most people?" Most people I talk to want a hunt that will kill deer and have ammo readily available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I ran a rec fire range on base as the range safety officer for 4 years And shot at least hundred different Glocks and will say out of all of them I never shot 1 that wouldn't shoot better than me. As far as ammo testing at the time I didn't reload but did a bunch of factory testing and was shooting what shot best out of each individual gun. The Ruger shot a clover leaf honest 5/8" group with ballistic silver tips and I kept the pizza box because it was amazing. I think my brother still has that same box of shells that I gave him after the group and he has killed 7 or 8 deer with it. On experience, I have never claimed to be the most knowledgable in the reloading dept because honesty I couldn't care less about trying to squeeze a quarter of an inch of accuracy out of a gun because I don't think it makes a bit of difference. I find ammo that shoots consistent and performs terminally. If I have a gun that shoots an honest 1-1/2" group with a 4x scope off a sandbag "not a vise or sled" that is more than adequate to kill any deer I want to kill. Because something is less expensive doesn't make it inferior. Sure the cheap rifles are ugly the triggers aren't the best and the bolts don't open and close as smooth as better quality rifles. The fact of the matter is when you use words like "junk" to describe things that someone is asking for advice on you come across as huge asshole. I have killed a good amount of deer with a rifle and have yet to have yet to have one not die because my rifle was ugly or my bolt wasn't smooth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Sorry the good had to come with bad! It sounds like your taking it as well as possible! Congrats on the new camp I know you have been excited for a long time now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. How could you possibly shoot 400yds with a 4X scope????? I need at least 9x on my turkey gun! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. You said "you can guarantee that" what is your factual basis on thinking that everyone will eventually want a 257wby mag or something similar? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. The Ruger American redfield combo is probably the best rifle deal a great scope and rifle for under 500$ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I was once as closed minded as you. Then One day my brother brought home a Ruger box with an ugly black rifle in it and a leupold rifleman 2-7. Paid 529$ for the whole thing. I mounted the scope and bore sighted it. It was in 308 so I grabbed a few of my 308's as well. I had a blr a rem model 7 custom shop a 7600 and his American on the bench. Wanna guess what one shot the best group? I own over 30 center fire rifles and 3 of them are Ruger Americans. I have a Ruger American American compact being made into a 358win right now.

  18. I have been up there for 9 of the last 14 days chasing them with the bow and saw a bunch of deer and a couple reel nice bucks but didn't connect. Around my camp there is 10x more moose sign than deer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I would consider myself "really into shooting" and I have never had even the slightest gravitational pull towards anything even close to a wby mag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I don't have a problem with Japanese guns either I own a few Brownings and they are fine. My concern with the vanguard line is it is made in Japan to cut cost. When a company has there low end products made in a different country from their "name brand" stuff it concerns me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. If you have a 270 and an 06 why not try something different? A 308 will do nothing a 270 or 06 will. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Jesus Pyg your killing me with this long barrel talk, I just threw up a little. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Be careful if your ordering some of the lower priced jackets sound like wind pants from the 90's Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. I hate savage rifles so I'm not much help there but as for chambering if your worried about recoil a 25-06 270 and 30-06 all have close enough recoils that you won't be able to tell the difference. If recoil is your concern and deer and bear are the quarry I would look at any of the 308 parented cartridges excluding 243 "7mm-08 308 338 federal. These all will kill any deer or bear and do it with less recoil. Some of the new 6.5's seem to be all the rage Lately and are pretty impressive ballistically and have minimal recoil.
