I have to agree with you Jim, most hunters I know would never burn out a barrel. I’ve been shooting more this year simply because I’ve had the extra time lately. If I were to use them exclusively for hunting, most of my rifles that would never be fired. I bow hunt for these days for elk and...

My Kimber Hunter in .280AI weighs right at 7 lbs with scope and loaded magazine. It is a tough rifle to hold steady but in perfect conditions I would feel confident to 700 yards. The entire set up cost me less that $1300 I see that Kimber discontinued the .280 from hunter series for some reason...

That’s a cool system. I may look into one for my hunting rig I drop air often, especially in the snow.

I get what your saying JimP when I get into a spot like that I do pack a rifle capable of reaching out there (.280AI or .300WM) I just don’t get the small caliber for long range gig. I keep my 25-06 in the 0-400 range and my .243 0-300

I’ve always had the attitude that I need to get as close as possible no matter the circumstances. If I plan to kill it I have to go get it anyways so why not close the gap. I think there’s a lot of long range on tv due to the fact it’s easier to film.

I e never had to shoot past 330 yards on a game animal. The whole long range thing is so over hyped.

If I want to shoot a bullet that’s over 120 gr I will shoot a bigger caliber. This craz to oversize the caliber is ridiculous.

My Ol 25-06 suits me just fine. BUT I do want a new one just because I’m afraid that it will be discontinued. I can’t even buy a M70 Featherweight in 25-06 right now. I have enough reloading components to last me the rest of my life.

I tried a natural ground blind last year since my knee was so bad they never showed up.

I have a couple in the hit list here in Oregon I want to meet up with next year. They just moved way too much for me last fall, those critters in the cascades don’t stay in one spot for long. Nothing but timber for miles and miles so they are pretty safe.

Thanks Scott, I may wait out one more year for out of state stuff. But at 55 and double digits in Wyoming and Nevada I will be liking to cash in in the next several years!

Update: I had my prostate surgery a month ago and it was a success, I am cancer free! Just had a new knee installed yesterday so I should be ready to get back to normal next fall. Thank You guys for the prayers and thoughts 👊🏻 I will have a lot of down time in the next 6-8 Weeks so keep up...

Welcome, this is a great place to check in on. Some real good folks here, I’ve made some actual friend over the years. Make sure you go back and check out the past padding tread, it’s good for some laughs.

I heard that may be happening over there. That would really piss some people off. I do think something has to be done however, technology is getting out of hand. Some states actually care about conserving their game animals, Oregon is not on that list.
