Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Where in N America will this not work for non-dangerous big game game?

Leupie 6x36 w/ LR Duplex and a 270 Winchester sounds to me like a match made in Heaven... the matte black will look a bit tacky though, against the gloss blue of the Ruger.

It appears that the radiation has made it to California....to Anaheim anyway.

Perhaps it has been there a while???

WTF.....

............Very cute there hot shot! Any questions from you as to what variables I have owned over the last 45 years that I`ve never had problems with?....Nope!

Good to know, that the best you can do is to be a comic. Radiation over So Calif? That was a good one!

When I start glowing, you`ll be the first to know! I`ll sell ya one of my radioactive scopes!.....



Nope!

...............Be careful of that soup Dogger! Glad to be accomodating to a good laugh now and then!

bigsqueeze,

We were just busting you ba!!s over the fact that it appeared that you believed the post on swapping out multiple fixed power scopes in order to change the scope power setting.

It was a joke, get it !!!!

BTW, I hope that none of that schit from Japan makes it to the west coast.

Hopefully it will be well diluted by then.

Also, I have used variable power scopes since I was 12...41 years ago, and I have never had an issue.

Tony

'''''''''Yup! Got it!

I know someone who carries 4 darn scopes on every hunt. That`s why I seemed not to get the joke.

Oh and btw, we ain`t glowing yet out here on the "left" coast!

bigsqueeze,

I carried one spare scope with me during a 10 day hunt in BC.

I didn't actually carry it in my backback though, just left it in camp....

Tony

I can solve the scope problem with back up irons... Any recommendations on a good aftermarket front and rear sight?

You really don't hunt much and kill many animals at all, do you Swampy?

Reading this thread, it ain't hard to spot the one's who have shot and hunted a fair amount....and those who haven't........

Yes Boys and Girls.....variables "break" now and then,and the higher the round count the greater the likelihood...but I've had more than one go TU within 100 rounds,on rifles with any recoil to speak of that is....

..and YES(surprise!), you can actually kill a big game animal with a fixed power scope;that is if you know what you're doing and can shoot.

Oh, and before I forget...it's really funny to see a guy standing there, Remington in one hand, and bolt handle in the other......you won't soon forget it...I guarantee it's a riot!

And if you got a problem killing BG animals with a 270 and a fixed 6X, take up crochet.....

I think that it would work for everything non-dangerous. I am not convinced that it would be the best choice for Bison(freeranging in Alaska where you encounter them close-NWTs has the same thing going), Brownies or Polar bears. I think that it would be fine for everything else.

You have to shoot em to see it happen but it does

You know, when I think about it the only scope failures I've ever had over the years were with variables. On the other hand, I've got several variables that have been used and abused for a lot of years with no troubles. I've undoubtedly killed more game while peering through a couple of Weaver K-2.5's than anything else though, and have very little need for 6x or higher on anything but varmints.

I'm sure I'd laugh as well. I just wish more people would give first hand experiences instead of perpetuating internet rumors. I just hope that this bolt handle thingy is less common than Swarovski's "rep" for bino's fogging up. Like my signature line says....if you repeat anything long and hard enough, some will start to believe it. Even the most ridiculous ones as well.

RD/Blackheart: I'll admit these things don't happen often....but they do on occassion pop up

The look on the guys face was sorta funny,like ...."What now!?"....I remember thinkin' at the time(I was real young....)"Gee I don't think that's supposed to happen.....

Next thing you'll be telling me you had a Swaro fog up while stalking Sasquatch.........

Can you focus cheap binos into Swaros is the real question

Only when Jessica Alba is sitting in my lap telling me how much she wants to...

When she's done here I'll send her over your way
