Lee 24,

Sorry if I offended you by posting a picture of a dead animal.
The original poster asked for thoughts on the best overall breaking weight for a mountain hunting rifle, and some of us with mountain hunting experience responded.

Doesn't matter to me if it is a 'mountain rifle', something light and portable, or if it is any rifle one chooses to use in mountain hunting- some of us actually do mountain hunting, and have years of experience doing so. If you want to challenge that experience, some of us have photos, stories, and witnesses to back it up.

Doesn't matter whether I'm seeking advice on firearms, or optics, or horseshoes- if the dispenser of knowledge has no practical experience, and the proof of same, the advice means little to me.

If those of us who post photos of game we have taken are egotistical, so be it. Call it what you will, but you can't challenge or question the fact that we have been there, or belittle the fact that we have done so.


I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
