Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Montana 243 VS 7mm-08?

The "dime" rifle is a push feed model 70 with Leupold base/rings and a Leupold 3-9x. It likes 4831 and 150 grain NBTs.

'bird,

I went easy.(grin)











Dooshmike,

That rifle really sounds awesome! What stock? How's it bedded? Which base/rings? Which reticle? How fast are the NBT's.

Man...you really are into this stuff,I had no idea just how very steeped you are. Laffin'!

Goose Poop's paint,got dry enough to shoot.



Musta been a hit,as it got the Whales in the front yard [bleep] in the background.



Looking forward to your next bout of Pretend,as you flaunt your Imagination...you poor poor stupid [bleep].

Wow +P+!

How many rounds we talking, and from what position?

Some guys struggle to shoot 20+ rounds from prone with a hunting weight 30-06. Buddy was recently having trouble at 40 rounds with a 7RM. Shooting off a bench at the club or off the hood of the truck ain't quite the same as being all contorted for a field shot. Likewise, a handful of offhand shots with a magnum doesn't equal recoil tolerance like some people think.

Easy to shoot 40-60+ rounds in one session from prone if the recoil don't get to you... plus add some offhand, seated, and more shots from other field positions. A light kicker makes this easy and enjoyable. Haven't met anyone that likes to shoot less rounds, rather than more.

Shoot more, learn more?

Having lived on the east coast for awhile I know a lot of dudes that mostly shoot offhand and at woods ranges (~100 yards or less) or farm ranges (mebbe out to 300 yards). On the wet-coast, seems like a lot more shooting out to "medium" ranges (300-600+ yards). More open country here with longer shots... and wind. A fella needs to practice if he plans to shoot these distances. These longer shooting opportunities are probably less common in many parts of the country.

Prone + recoil = pain for most, which means less shooting.

20 rounds off the bench with the 30-06 does it for me for a days shooting. I can do more than that offhand but less prone. The farthest I've ever had to shoot to take a deer was right around 300 and thats the only time I've had to shoot beyond 200 except in my pronghorn hunting. 90 some % of my shots have been inside of 150 and you just don't need to buy a .223 and fire hundreds of rounds a week to be able to make those shots. I do shoot beyond 300 yards but that is on groundhogs and mostly with the 270 Winchester. People in more open parts of the country have different needs.

4th,

Now don't go swiping her Imagination and Pretend away from her...if only because it's all she's got and that would be mean.(grin)

She's simply a clueless kchunt,in well over her head and simply talking out her ass. Not that it ain't funnier than schit!

EPIC humor.










Dooshmike,

Now a 20 round day,is a Big 'Un?!? Laffin'!

Do say a leetle sumptin' about the Long Range 270's "particulars",beings you was more than a leetle less than comfy with the Dime Rifle and the groundhog '06. Dare ya'. Laffin'!

I getta kicka outta you stupid [bleep] perpetually concocting reasons not to shoot,then frost it with your "knowledge","experience" and "results".

It's no "secret" that people everyfhukkingwhere,do farrrrrrrrrrrrrr more than you.

Great photos B,

just nothing dead in them.

I guess some shoot off a lot of things, a lot

others, not so much, they just kill-a-lot

after all, if one is proficient, all he needs is one bullet...


for a single



numerous doubles......





A triple here and there......



but four?





So here is to you B.............




Best,


GWB

G',

Mebbe in another 50yrs,you'll learn how to take guts outta schit?!?

Nawwwwwww...you sure as [bleep] cain't learn anything,that "fast".

Laffin'!

B,

when you help other folks kill



when you kill fifty plus hogs a year between yourself



and your son, maybe up to 10 whitetail deer,

perhaps an aoudad,



sika,






an axis or two, not to mention turkey, 'yotes, coons and fox,

G',

Too [bleep] funny!

Drum tight schit,sweltering in the sun. Do you pizz on it,before you wrap it too?

The Texas version of everything,is [bleep] hilarious. Your incredibly slow "learning",is a riot.

Just WOW.

A good 243,6.5 creedmoor or even 308 will (should) turn on lots of lighbulbs in the more astute fellers heads..But most dont get that far and seem content beating around the bush instead of shooting..

Lots of those guys that dont get it will skip the inherent goodness of those rounds and jump to a Lapua/EDGE type gun (topped with a vortex of course)..9 times out of ten disappointment sets in, then maybe you can talk to those types..They will then either listen, or come to the conclusion that shooting is whichcraft..its funny chit to see

As always in these GW vs Boxer threads, the score seems a little higher for the Texan. If GW were forced to slum Alaska, Larry would be in a heap o' trouble.

*If anything, its entertaining and somewhat informative at times.

Boxer talks one hell of a mean game. He makes a lot of empty cases too. Even if they are little itty-bitty cases.

One day meebbee heeeel he'll wise up to the superiority of the quarter bore, and absolutely in blue/Walnut. Painted Stainless /synthetic is for lazy basttids.

You have got to be kidding me.

Prairie - which one would you rather spend the day hunting with, then relax around the fire with a plate of game and some bourbon?

I suspect they would be entertaining and good company in their own right. But comparing Texas to Alaska for hunting is like comparing North Korea to America in a "Which country do you prefer" contest.

Rosco,

As my dad nor his brothers were hunters or shooters, I'm self taught, and it took a while to recover from "Magnumitis" and high magnifcation scopes.

I still have magnums, but find that MV's at 2,800 fps. on game reduces the amount of meat damage.



a 308 Win.





a mild-mannered 7mm-08




a 260 Remington in your favorite flavor,

or



maybe a 257 Bob





and of course, a 243 for the little stuff. LOL


how sweet it is.



Best,

GWB

Prairie - I take it you've hunted extensively in both states in order to form that opinion?

Not extensively, but I've hunted both.

But I haven't been to North Korea...so maybe there's something I'm missing.
