I've had those weapons in the past {AR-15 and AK 47}. I sold them long before they were outlawed because I found them awkward to carry and just didn't have much use for them other than as a plinker. I'm a hunter and much prefer a lever or bolt action rifle for my use. I'm not interested in playing Rambo but if it blows your skirt up you have the right. Our gun laws do suck but I'd much rather live where there is plenty of land to hunt and the laws don't effect the guns I own and prefer to use. What passes for "hunting" in States where leasing is the norm doesn't interest me in the least. Yet. You know the bastards in Albany are working on it.

I am a huge fan of good wood stocked rifles Traditonal bolt action Blaser style straight pull bolt actions Single shot rifles Double Rifles As well as synthetic stocked rifles but when one is running and gunning..... especially at night with thermal GB4, GB3, GB3-B-I-L, GWB The ability to put multiple rounds in rapid succession on target has its place just sayin' GWB

Its much easier with multiple rounds. BTW, We do have pigs! And had you 27 or more rounds left, had you the opportunity, what would you have done? I know what I do! ya! GWB

In case you hadn't noticed more and more states are outlawing "assault weapons" and "high capacity magazines" almost weekly. It's only a matter of time and there won't be anyplace left for mouthy cowards to run to.

In case you hadn't noticed more and more states are outlawing "assault weapons" and "high capacity magazines" almost weekly now.. I do not know if your assertion is correct, and you provide no data or cites to prove your assertion. Perhaps in New York and other progressive bastions, but IIRC +/-27 states have veto proof majorities that are Republican controlled. I would not believe that those states were banning MSR's, (Modern Sporting Rifles). https://news.ballotpedia.org/2023/0...-new-states-after-recent-party-switches/I do believe only 10 states have banned MSR's https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/t...s-after-illinois-enacted-ban/ar-AA16ePd8Whatcha' bet all are controlled by democrats/progs/marxist-socialists. Chances are, we in Texas will continue to be able to choose just about any type of weapon, unrestricted choice of calibers/chamberings that can be legally used, and openly carried, on public and especially private land 24/7/365. I like that. ya! GWB PS: almost forgot obligitory "Rambo-rifle" style dead animal pix

I like that. ya! GWB I believe Washington, Oregon and Illinois have recently banned assault weapons and it certainly has been pushed on a Federal Level recently. I recall there was a Federal assault weapons ban passed in 1994. It will likely happen again one day and I think it unlikely it would be allowed to sunset again. If the courts don't rule it unconstitutional it would stand and so far the courts haven't done diddly to overturn it here, despite several attempts. Face it, communists and communism are taking over the Country and it's only a matter of time..

glad some of you have good access to nice, safe, low traffic public hunting lands-last time I was on public land 20 + years ago in deep east TX I hunted a couple of weekends-saw tons of people, no deer or hogs or turkey. Kept bumping into "hunters", some nice, some not so nice...kicker for me was at the end of the day at the parking area/camp site a bunch of us gathered to talk about what we saw...couple of fellas, mostly college kids, kept talking about how many "sound shots" they got off that day. I had to ask, what on earth is a "sound shot"...one of the guys piped up and said "it is where you hear something in the bushes so you shoot in that direction and hope you hit a deer"
yea, I was done at that point with public land hunting That is the most amazing thing I have ever heard of!!! It's BS the punks will say that crap to scare people off. The reality is that there is a lot of public deer hunting lands that if you hunt during the week you will have the place mostly to yourself. The thing is a lease is so much easier. You can put up comfortable stands, feeders, hunt at night for hogs. I lost my last lease because the owner died and his kids decided to sell the place. Rough country but some good hunting. Last evening I was on that property and the last shot I fired on it I killed a 160 inch buck. Lots of big hogs, and I like hunting them more than deer hunting. To get there it was 4 hours of driving.

Got number 44 for this year, young female about to have pigs. Got her with my chlinstructor rifle. I was hoping an Aoudad would have come out. The 62 grain Bear Claws do the trick.
