Dear Leupold..
It's been since Aug 17th since I pulled the trigger on a critter. Please let some of your good 6x42 mojo guide me into a B&C buck tomorrow, so I can get on with life. (grin) Dammit, I've got a boat to tear apart and rebuild..

John has called out the self rightous scum that infest this site. I love it.. Looking forward to seeing what transpires.. Now scenarshooter, seems like a great guy so I'm definatley not speaking of him.. And Johns remarks(complements) of Calvin seem to be spot on. Espically helping kids into the sport.. Stick lickin wantabee's need to step up or forever shut the [bleep] up.. Man that would be nice. I'd be there but I'd get my ass kicked..  Can't see dissin a mans passion.. He believes in what he's doing..

Calvin,
You are killing me here. I will get you on my side or die trying.
You know you are balanced and don�t have an axe to grind.
We hunt in different situations and like different rifles but I know you are a balanced guy.
Get those wimps too shoot!!!

Dude,
I ran out of grace quite awhile ago.
I just want to pull on a trigger and see where the bullet lands.

You don't sell balanced guys, so perhaps you could explain what characteristics comprise a " balanced guy".

Haha, I'm not really interested on being on anybodies side. It's November, the rut is going on, and I'm got big bucks on my mind. I'm too much of a puzzy to consider a shot beyond 400yds in the mountains on an animal. I'll admit to that!

That doesn't make you a puzzy; that's just your own personal ethical range.

Calvin,
Many of these goof balls are easy meat but I can tell the real deal from the wannabes.
I am officially kissing your ass because you are the real deal.
Take it for what it is worth but that is the situation as far as I am concerned.
We differ on what a hunting rifle should be but we also differ in our hunting situations.

Yes, well.....if they attack your attitude next you will not have as many backing you up.

But I do hunt antelope with it! It's a pretty cool rifle and not that difficult to shoot after you get used to the shockwave...laffin! The WOW factor when you smack a steel plate or a granite boulder with it is worth the price of addmission! ![[Linked Image]](http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp311/patrickgsinclair/338001.jpg) It does this once in awhile....throws one I mean...(grin) I like that a lot...even if you did jerk one.

.... I'm too much of a puzzy to consider a shot beyond 400yds in the mountains on an animal. I'll admit to that! I suspect you could push that envelope if you wanted to...if it were necessary. No ax to grind here.Never shot Larry's rifles, but have shot Johns,and seen two others shoot it as well......everyone hit what they wanted to,and I might add that none of us had ever touched off a shot over 1000 yards.We all center punched where we wanted with the system.It got downright simple at 880.Took a lot of the mystery out of hitting beyond 600 yards. But John can dope conditions;this I know because I watched him do it.No guesswork involved.Shooting his rifle/system reminded me of some Palma Match rigs belonging to competitors I have shot to 600;pretty push button. Cost is cost. I can pick up a custom Mauser or M70 built by some of the best of the past like Biesen, Goens, etc for $3k to $5k; I'd have to pay Dakota $7k-$10k for the same rifle today;mostly a reflection of the times.You either pay it if you want it, or move on. Have no doubt Larry's rifles would lay them in but suspect they are slightly different animals, Larry's being a light 7/08;John's being a somewhat heavier 264. I would not want someone aiming at me with one of John's rifles...or Larry's, or Scenar's.
The 280 Remington is overbore.

Not to distract from the infighting, but Leupold, could you please offer a non-AO 4-12 VX II with a 40mm objective? LR Duplex would be cool as well.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

If this little event came to fruition there would be a winner, but I doubt if any participants would get a thrashing. In the end, perhaps all would sit down, laugh and discuss the finer points of the others equipment and technique.
It's the blood thirsty bystanders that crack me up the most.

I wish that Leo would get me my spotter back so I can take Avs on his mtn goat hunt (lucky lil dude just turned 12 and he drew his first goat tag this year). Oh wait...they got me my spotter a couple days ago and we're packing the truck for a day on the hill.
You all have a super day, we're gonna be on the hill!
