What I don't get, is the guys who swear by the 223, but have bigger guns. Should sell them.
why sell my nice 308 montana or my 257 bob montana I enjoy those cartridges as well. Why hunt with a pistol in 10mm or 44 magnum or 357 magnum? Why hunt with an AR15 in 5.56 or a 6.8 or God forbid 300BO? Why buy 80 cent power point 308 cartridges and kill chit or load 60 cent solid copper 22 bullets. Why does a bear chit in the woods? It's what we do. You on the other hand are either a sock-puppet here to stir the pot, someone who just started hunting/shooting but thinks they know it all, or just an idiot. The safety making a noise thing, yes I considered that many years ago, but grew out of it, in fact it is entirely possible to take off a kimber safety without making a sound if one has at least the dexterity of an orangutan and an IQ above room temperature.
The big question is how do they shoot out to your 25 yard bait pile?
