Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles opinion of 7mm-08 rem. vs 308

I get dibs on the 2-7X Leupy!

Glad to hear it Ingwe, the wife part that is. Hey, at least you lost the hair after you snagged your nice wife(even if she caused you to lose it in the first place...grin).


I'm trying to drag Maygan back to the farm but she's been having second thoughts. Not that I blame her.

You guys are terrible...

I need a laugh though!

Sam, been woderin' if you might be somehow related to JO..........but I can't be that mean!!!

Actually it IS me in the avatar, I was talking about the hair on my nether regions...

And Steelhead....show the good common courtesy to wait at least until Sam achieves room temperature....

Prayers Sent.

I always thought of beer as the cure . . . . .

BMT

I'd have Christ touch your stomach, that should cure ya.....

Ha!
Right on- btw, isn't 'Ingwe' an African(can't remember which language) for leopard?

Haven't you heard of the Olson twins??? duh!


BMT, maybe I'm just allergic to work.



Christ does have mystical powers.

Ya see Sam, we wouldn't kid you if we didn't love you....

And want your stuff....
Ingwe

Yeah, its Shona, and theres a story there...but not right now, I wanna hear more about the Olson Twins....
( Gawd, I hope its the ones I'm thinking of...)

Wuz shooting a bunch this week.

I swapped the perfectly good Warne rings on my .338 to Talley's. In this case, the weight wasn't the reason... it was because it allowed me to move the scope 3/16ths closer to me <g>. And the Talleys were incrementally higher than the Warne's so I am now able to run Butler Creeks instead of a bikini cover. And, I like Talleys.

Anyway, shot the CRAP out of that rifle, my '06, my 300 WM, and my .358. Today was mostly field positions, out to 650 yards, with both turrets and reticles. Pushed 100 rounds total. Only stretched the .358 out to 450 yards, which is farther than I'd shoot at game anyway with it since it's down around 1500 fps at that range... but DAMN that thing was bustin' rocks! That is the M7 with the Zeiss 1.8-5.5 that got everyone all horned up.

Why do I report this, you ask? Simply because never once did I worry for a second about getting scope-bit. Not prone with a light .338... not UPHILL prone with a .338 or my .358, etc.

If any of you (other than SH or that punk Paul Walukewitz) are in the area, please accept my invitation to come shooting. We can do 100-yard, long range, whatever you'd like. I would welcome seeing in person how "your way" works for you, and I would like to show how my way works for me... since my way was so controversial and all that. This is a real invitation, and I'd be honored to shoot with most any of you.

SamOlson- hope you get better soon man. No beer... that ain't right! A man's gotta be pretty damn sick where he can't even drink.

Johnny and I are gonna hit the range tomorrow. Great weather here lately. Lookout gongs!

I been there.

BMT

Go get 'em Sam!!

Seems like enough guys have discovered my gongs that they are all shot to [bleep] now... not the steel plates, but the stands. There's only a couple left hanging. I've been too lazy to hike down that hole and fix 'em... so today I was just shooting at rocks and sticks and so on.

Here's a pic from today. That's my .338 on the pad, 30-06 in the lammie stock, and Sendero on the right...

Where your targets in the picture,Jeff?
Just below the road there?

That looks like a great shooting spot Jeff.

Talk to you guys later, me and the pooch are gonna hit the couch.

I thought she was "sweety pants"!

Kids these days, with all their names for their women... grin...

Spent this afternoon at the range and temp reached 96. Had to give it up after a couple of hours of heat and finding out my marksmanship has gone to schitt. Getting old is a bitch.
