I once rode a horse to Staceys on 191, can I dictate rifle optics too?

That's a shame Jordan, I'm sure you're missing out. Please take your excessively heavy scopes off of your Montanas and mount fly weight scopes immediately. Don't make the Kimber Mintana police come pay you a visit...

It's too bad, that 3-9x SS replaced a perfectly good Leup 6x. Such a shame.

They make Albertas now?? Where can I order one? I used a NULA with a PM II on it last year, but not in Montana, only Alaska. I call my rifle "The Alaskan." I made that up, by the way.

Doesn't look like a Montana to me with the stubby barrel and all.

It looks like an Ascent or an Adriondack. Hell of a nice rifle either way.

I use a somewhat heavy scope for a lot of mountain hunting, in Montana, in addition to a lot of lighter scopes.

Like normal, Brad is talking out his highfalutin, proper and refined ass. He always thinks his way is soooooo much better and more hardcore than anyone else. Him and Calvin should get together and ass spelunk each other. They're both hardcore into that kind of adventure.

So a day-hike cow hunt (on a private ranch?) equates to a mountain backpack hunt?

Hmmm.

As I said, "that explains it."

Can't fully get the point of a flyweight like the MT on flatland hunts in AK, NM, AB or MT... but that's obviously just me. I'll always take more rifle weight on the flats.

I always shoot cows, I hunt for elk for meat. Bird hunting with a pointer is for fun!

It's all about fun and games, and you only have yourself to please.

When I think of a lightweight I think of high mountains. Not flatland hunting. You apparently differ, which is fine. But I also don't get a 1000 yard scope on a 500 yard rifle.

But I never thought 38DD bolt-on's are right on a 100lb woman either...

Dude, the 8 oz difference in scope choice definitely makes you a bad ass. The guys that I hunt with will stash whiskey in your pack that weighs more than that.

Brad you poor poor(literally) STUPID Fhuqk. Mebbe cite what it is that you "do" for a "living",that "grants" you "all" this "Outdoor" "opportunity"...to hone your Imagination and Pretend. It will be funnier than fhuqk. Hint. Congratulations?!?

You have less than ZERO fhuqking inkling and your Flat Landing Pavement Pounding Vagina Monologue,is simply fhuqking HILARIOUS! With a running headstart and a tailwind,you couldn't knock the new offa used pair of boots...but your couchbound kchunt certainly is hell on hour meters. Laughing!

I mighta had to do some 270 Maintenance today. Hint. The transition to 49.5 Mils remaining on the erector from it's 200yd zero,prolly don't suck,though you'll haveta Google it. Pardon the windshield offering more than your phony fhuqking Reupold 2.5-8x can begin to muster,as well as the option of illumination should the scenario dictate the whim. Hint.

Didn't take too long to shoot out the OEM 223 spout and the 270 spout is already crowding 2000 105's digested and it's not even 6 months old yet. Have never taken it Outdoors and ALWAYS shoot from within a covered Range.

Laughing!

Mighta spiffed a Six Twat-Six too and at least you can "afford" to read about it and look at the pics,you "lucky" kchunt.

Laughing!

While you were Whining your Clueless Concrete Chronicles,someone was prolly schleppin' a Montucky on the prowl,until dark. Pardon my wingman not being worth a fhuqk with my camera.

Laughing!

Looking forward to your next Whine and a fresh batch of Excuses,as you talk out your ass about all the things you've never seen,or let alone done. Pardon my totin' a rifle daily and with only 6 months of vacation a year to do so. Hint.

Lemme give you another leetle HINT...I've prolly seen a couple/few Reupolds and the 2.5-8x was never even a fhuqking candidate. Hint.

Bless your heart,you AMAZINGLY Stupid Fhuqk.

Wow +P++!

Laughing!................

Sorry I caused all the bickering. Let me say that I hunt the mountains of northern PA and I figured why carry a heavier gun than I have too. I'm not getting any younger and this was a good excuse to buy a gun. And, Whittaker's helped a little bit, too. Now I just need a decent scope to go with it. I used Leupolds all of my life but like the ruggedness of the NF. Actually thought about just sticking a 4X on it as that's really all I need. But it is nice to have the option of turning up the power.

You can't get the point that you're not the only one who hunts in the mountains. Who said anything about a "flatland" hunt in AK?

Exactly. For those who say "why buy a light rifle and put a heavy scope on it," my answer is, so that the rifle/scope combination is a pound or two lighter than it would have been with a heavier rifle.




This is my view of putting a bipod on a lightweight as well.

When hunting 80-90% of the time the rifle is in my hands so a heavier rifle(to begin with) doesn't make much sense to me. And a bipod makes the MT's easier to shoot, win/win...


I also finally saw the light and bought an uber lightweight over/under shotgun. Don't miss carrying the larger/heavier gun one bit.



That said I have 2.5-8x36's and a 6x36 on my Kimbers and they work just fine for a non-spinning Neanderthal.

I have that same scope on my MT 7-08. The 7-08 is just as accurate as the NULA in .260, but I knew I might have to dial and the tracking of the two scopes was not a contest so I took the NULA to AK, heavier scope and all.

Some may be shocked to know that I also drink beer with Brie, but there you have it. I do raise my pinky off the beer bottle though.
