You really don't hunt much and kill many animals at all, do you Swampy?

Reading this thread, it ain't hard to spot the one's who have shot and hunted a fair amount....and those who haven't........

Yes Boys and Girls.....variables "break" now and then,and the higher the round count the greater the likelihood...but I've had more than one go TU within 100 rounds,on rifles with any recoil to speak of that is....

..and YES(surprise!), you can actually kill a big game animal with a fixed power scope;that is if you know what you're doing and can shoot.

Oh, and before I forget...it's really funny to see a guy standing there, Remington in one hand, and bolt handle in the other......you won't soon forget it...I guarantee it's a riot!

And if you got a problem killing BG animals with a 270 and a fixed 6X, take up crochet.....

The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
