Savage/Nikon Package

[Culvercreek hunt club]

A Fish and Game club back home growing up had a two cable system where the target board on pulleys (at 75 yards) would be released  and fly down the cables so you could shoot at moving targets. I saw some very very good guys shooting it.

Rolling tires can be done the same way Culver, using cardboard in the rim well.

 

Lots of guys in the club I belonged to in VA shot the crap out of that. Scary good. Problem is they were crappy hunters. Rarely is someone a good shot and a good hunter.

Just curious, from the guys that shoot at a deer over 100 yards while its running . How confident are you that you are going to kill the deer and not just send it off wounded? Not fishing here, a serious question.

one of my buddy shoots running deer at 200+ a lot...

I have the Savage rifle in .308 It dosen't seem to have any problems and I consider it a great value. The trigger is awesome.

The most asinine thing you've ever said on this forum, right there.

 

You've lobbed grenades just as much as I have or anyone else has on this forum.

 

And, don't bother asking for proof. It's so asinine, I'm not even going to look. I could close my eyes, throw a dart, and hit an example. C'mon, you're better than that.

 

It's one thing to be a giant d!#k, it's a whole 'nother level being a giant d!#k and not knowing it. (saying in general)

 

I am a very opinionated a-hole. no argument there. I SAID PERSONAL ATTACK. find one. just one. Not where I argued with someone, but called them a name.

anyone can shoot at. how often does he successfully and cleanly take the deer?

Ok..enough BS...Back to the important stuff...... What are you gonna buy?

[Five Seasons]

still shopping for a good used deal. not a tone of extra cash right now as I also just bought a glock. Problem is that with the some counties now legalizing rifles for deer there's not a whole lot of deals to be had.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

tough time of year with NZ opener right around the corner and the SZ right behind it. Sad to say but a good time to pick one up is after the season and right before Christmas. People dumping them for present money.

[phade]

Black Friday usually has deals too..Dick's almost always throws the Axis line on sale then.

He didnt say he "shoots at" running deer, he said the guy shoots running deer, which would mean he hits and kills them.

yeah I think I'm conceding this year. Just wondering what to look for if they do pop up used. Most of my stands are bow stands anyhow and my browning is still more than capable. btw, can you still buy used guns in this state from private individuals?

Yes, but you have to go through an FFL so they can do the background crap.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Yes, but and this is the but that no one gets a good answer to. You will have to go and get a background check performed in order to do the sale. I haven't done it yet so I am not sure how many of the dealers are handling it. Maybe the dealer you bought the pistol through could help you out or clarify it. I have heard cost up to 50 to do it. It was supposed to be 10 but I guess it is 10 for the background check and 40 for their time...lol. sucks!

[Five Seasons]

what a joke... I haven't found anything decent used anyhow. Lot of wwII guns only haha.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Yeah people arent selling a whole heck of alot right now. If you have time, stop in to Avon Gun, he has lots of used stuff. Racks were pretty full a week ago when I stopped in.

[fasteddie]

Belo ----- I have a used French Army rifle for sale . It was carried in 2 wars , dropped twice and still has the white flag attached !

[phade]

Herb philpsons has the axis xp on sale for 290. Cheap but useable.

thanks. I'm thinking if I do buy a savage rifle it would be the 11/111. I look at is an investment and something that'd be handed down for generations. a few hundred more for a better gun might be worth it.

[jjb4900]

even new guns can be tough to get it they need to be ordered..........I waited almost 7 months for a T/C Icon, I eventually just gave up and got the T/C Venture with the weathershield finish.....shoots very nicely.

[Nomad]

I just got the savage Nikon package $500 . I like it! My last 3 shooting it today 100 yards off a rest. Oh .270

[Five Seasons]

larry where'd you get it for $500? is it the axis or the 11?

[Nomad]

Beikirchs in East Roch. Ok $507 .... Now the guy I deal with was not there, they give a discount to certain professions. The guy I used did not know me and I did not mention it until to late, so that should be the price .

He did toss in a gift card after though......

My first center fire rifle , I got some distance work to do and keep the distance realistic .

Oh mod.111. With accue trigger. Oh and left handed sometimes that's more, not sure on this gun though.
