Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game SPILL your guts! What is the biggest crock of sheeeet,you've heard via the "net"?....

The biggest crock? When one says you need something bigger than an 06 to shoot anything in the lower 48. Now that is a crock! And it has been said by some idiots believe it or not.<P>------------------<BR>Beware the one-gun man.

Flinch: Enough blasphemy! That's Mr. O'connor to you. Of course he was paid to tout the .270. But don't you agree that he backed up what he wrote? And during his .270 psalms, didn't he write (very well) about many very useful and beneficial subjects (such as the use of slings, long range shooting, etc)? Lastly, although he may not have said it as often, Mr. O'connor praised the '06 as one of the greatest cartridges in the world, stating that he owned as many '06's as .270's.<P>AFP: "If animals are so noble, why are we killing them?" That's classic. Way to nip that misty-eyed anthropomorphism which plagues the bunny-hugging community.<P>A fun thread. Talus

A person that doesn't appreciate the experience and knowledge of the past should not expect too much of the future, the future becomes the past the day after. We reached the climax in what is needed to kill animals or people awhile back. Ray guns or lasers may be more efficent but will not kill any DEADER. JMHO -- no

The biggest crock on the Net is:<BR> <A HREF="http://www.arnoldarms.com" TARGET=_blank>www.arnoldarms.com</A><P><BR>Then look at his "testimonials". What a bunch of bulldust.<P>Next question would be, "What the best bullet for Deer?"<P>"What's the best Scope", and it goes on and on.<P>But Arnold's Testimonials wins the cake. <BR>

Your 270 doesn't shoot .169" groups with partitions??? You can't shoot 3.75" groups at 1000yds with your sporter? <BR>

consider the source<BR>the person who shot that record group with the 270 is a sporting clays champ.<P>that is about as valid as Bob Vela touting lawn mowing equipment, sure they both do things for the home...

I've read every one of these post and I have come to the conclusion that based on what I've read its a confession, your all full of s---t, or did you leave anything out that were not all guilty of from time to time?????<P>------------------<BR>Ray Atkinson<BR>atkinsonhunting.com<BR>208-326-4120

Boy, am I glad I waited to comment until after Ray had his say. The net is full of BS, braggin' and bad advice. It is also full of helpful websites, good info (if you can tell which is good, which is pure BS) and plenty of lively dialogue. <BR>If someone blasts "longrange hunting", and you can do "it" routinely...are you bragging if you defend yourself? If you are comfortable with your choice of rifle and cartridge, are you an idiot for stating why you're comfortable with it, when someone else claims it's an inferior combo for your type of hunting?<BR>I take most everything with the proverbial grain of salt. Sometimes one has to increase the dosage, but it's still fun to read what others are saying.<BR>

My theory is,facts IS facts..And it ain't braggin',if you can do it..............

<BR> Boy is this turning into like "those other forumns" where you cant have a "laugh or two" without someone throwing water on it?.Maybe these forumns just arent any fun anymore.......10

Stick, the critique was from a feller what gave somebody bad info on another thread, then claimed it was a posting error. Tsk, tsk.

Flinch, good point on #6 about J.O. We now know from interviews done with close friends of his, that are still with us, Jack really preferred the .338 Win Mag as the best one gun North American rifle to own. ~rossi~

rossi, I love it! LOLOL- Sheister

I knew J.O. was a liar the whole time. He was known to slip up quite often and forget what pet caliber he was supposed to be paid to praise on several occassions. Half the time he couldn't remember who his sponsors were for which hunts. He was always stepping on his tongue and forgetting his lines. I can only imagine what was sensored out. Money talks and B.S. walks. He was/is full of it, right along side Jim Dumbo and Jackie Bushwoman! Flinch

Hey Flinch, if I didn't know better I'd swear you were me, you're allright in my book.<BR>10 point, what you're noticing is a problem that has been bugging me for some time, it seems that there are grown men and weman (some verry intelligent ones at that)who have allowed them selves to be duped into being politicaly correct. I put this notion of being politicaly correct under the same catagory as; "Saturday night special", "assualt rifle", etc... Do you see what I'm getting at? These were words used by the anti's and the socialist party in this country to dupe people into giving up a piece of their fredome. If a person chooses to be politicaly correct, they have volintarily given up their fredome of speech and expression, my Bill of no rights gets bigger every day w/o any help from myself so I say to hell with politicaly correct! <BR>If I've managed to offend any one, it's a free country, (so far, We'll see about tomorrow) you'll get over it.<BR>P.s. I'm not saying it's what you guys are doing, it's what most of you are talking about. Thought I better clarify that, it's been brought to my attention that I don't elaborate enough. <p>[This message has been edited by WWChamplain (edited March 19, 2001).]

I understood the criticism and where it was directed. I was simply adding to it.<P>My point was,most don't use facts and more can't do half,of what they say. Typical in all arenas........

We got a coonhunting story that goes like this here:<BR>1st hunter; somebody poisened my dog.<P><BR>2nd hunter; Is that right?<P><BR>1st hunter; Hell no, but it's a fact!<P><BR>

My post in no way was intended to offer disrespect for old Jack. All of us praobably owe a lot more to him and Elmer Keith than we possibly know for keeping the fires burning. In saying that, however, Flinch still makes a good point about lobbyed gunwriters. To back my post up, the following is a quote from Walt Bodie, an Idaho game warden and biologist and friend to J.O. Quote: "On one occasion Jack said to me that if he could only hunt with one rifle for the rest of his life and had to get rid of all the rest of his guns, he would keep his Al Biesen .338 Winchester Magnum". ~rossi~

Jack O.,never did anything for me. He was led by the hand and catered to and STILL shot dinks..........
