Glad someone finally gave an honest answer to the question...and without the hyperbole that went on earlier. It would make Obama blush. You didn't need optics of any kind (other than the camera lens)to tell that John shot the right bull. He sorta stuck out like a sore thumb...if you've done any elk hunting that is. The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Glad someone finally gave an honest answer to the question...and without the hyperbole that went on earlier. It would make Obama blush. Exactly, 400-420 yards for me(on deer). That's more a practice/wind limitation, not so much a power issue. Not a LR 'hunter'. Stick, what make of POS pickup broke? Must be some chitty weak-ass steel in the springs.

I'd tell him he's doing it all wrong, but don't really want a Sharps stuffed up my backside. I am..........disturbed.

I've hunted all of my life, starting at 5 years old with a Daisey and progressing as we all do to rimfire, small gauges, and center fire. I have no qualms telling anyone that the part of hunting I like the best is the shooting. That's basically how and why I began shooting targets and competing. No seasons to adhere to, no limits on numbers shot, and you don't have to clean anything. It's fun to perfect a skill with a shotgun and a rifle. It makes shooting game animals seem easy and promotes clean kills. Originally Posted by Bristoe The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.
