Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

I'd argue that on all, but the rarest of occasions, pigs are shot not hunted, just like woodchucks, prairie dogs, gophers and deer at feeders.

I’d be willin to bet the pard and I shot more dogs, coons and vermin with a abolt 243 , 2-7 vari x 1 than most folks have seen. Never had a problem. Like I said before, good Binos are waaaaaaaaay more fuucking important that custom actions, carbon fiber barrels and expensive scopes… don’t ask how I know 😂😂
I bet it, cool rifles, big scopes with turrets, the best packs, matching camo etc looks like your serious to the www crowd, but it doesn’t mean jack shiit to those that know..

I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

I agree, I never leave home without either. And also, the cough silencer, let's not forget that.

"Glass" is never not subjective. Hint.
Mechanics never ain't not the opposite. Read that again. Now one more time. Hint.
Reupold is hilariously lightyears from touching either. Hint.
The less you "do","know" or "see",the "better" they are,which is why they excel at Haybale & Crockett "Adventures". Hint.
I should probably yard more than a few apart,if only to quantify the hilarity. Hint.................................................

You hunt with what you like. FWIW I often hunt without a scope at all. Sometimes without a firearm too. I've killed animals with rifles, some scoped and same not, shotguns, bows and even with no more than a knife and a dog or two to lend a hand. A mate of mine once wrestled a rusa stag into submission and did it in with a pocket knife, but that was more a lesson in making sure your animal is not just down but dead before you put your rifle down and walk up to grab it.

Somethimes I just fall back to Alpha iron sights on old military surplus rifiles like this Finnish M-28. The rear sight is not marked in meters or yards but arshins.

If I understand Alpha Glass correctly apparently I own none. As such I have not struggled with mule deer, whitetail, elk, moose, black and grizzly bear, all manner of Zimbabwean, Namibian and South African stuff from cerval to cheetah to kudu, eland, gemsbuck, mountain zebra, cape buffalo and most of the rest of the basic plains game. Nary an issue with apparent lesser optics. My 416 M70 has been fine with 500 rounds prepping for the Zim trip and arrived and performed fine. Same with my FN Mauser 30-06.
Conduct is the best proof of character.
