You aptly summed up my reaction to your own post in two words:
So what?
So what?
Reassurance? It's kind of a "with me or against me" mindset a lot of times these days.I have no idea why guys think it’s a contest and feel the need to defend their choice
what color stock is that?Impact Precision 6mm Creedmoor.
please, not this againtoo much penetration
The first two are quite correct. I find the the latter to be lacking.Too loud, too much flash, too much penetration
I don't want a scope with AC and power windows ... Never mind
For whatever reason, some people seem to think it’s an either/or. Just because there is an improvement doesn’t instantly render an older version obsolete and ineffective
A blunderbuss was better than a bow and arrow
A flint lock was better than a match lock
A percussion cap was better than a flint lock
I have no idea why guys think it’s a contest and feel the need to defend their choice
Here is the info on the Foundation Stock. Made from micarta.what color stock is that?
With a suppressor, there is no flash, and little noise. With the right bullet, penetration can be controlled as well. It is not the only choice, but a good one IMO.I find 5.56 overkill in room distances, but what do I know? Too loud, too much flash, too much penetration
Well spoken.Kinda slow this morning, so thought I'd create a bit of nonsense that might get the ball rollin'.
Lots of noise here about the Creed and other "newish" hunting cartridges. That's okay, but even "oldish" favorites can still get Job #1 done well.
I personally use the .270 "Win-nah" and .243 "Widdler" and you know what?...they still kill critters really dead...even with just one shot at the same and longer ranges than most hunters can manage.
So what? Nothing new...not much to get excited about...unless you don't have any rifles that are really capable of slammin' down that 300 yard deer in the field. That starts with the caliber choice, but soon needs to consider a great-handling rifle that is easy to carry and shoot...a great variable-powered scope that makes dawn and dusk bright and clear. And the most important part, a capable "nut" behind the buttplate!!
The deer's vitals don't really have a vote here, but really hate meeting your choice of cartridge and your delivery to them.
So relax. You don't need to get excited about exotic rounds, except to impress your buddies, should you need that ego boost. The game doesn't rate rounds they receive, because they don't have time...as long as you deliver it to the right places. And that takes practice, practice, practice.
So I guess what I am saying, is, maybe its not the cartridge .. maybe its the platform that is shooting the cartridge.
Perfect.the thread title captures the essence of these debates over the past decades. it's not the people looking to improve everything that start these ego problem threads... it's the ones left out, trying to convince the pioneers that they have accomplished nothing, in order to salve their own egos.
I thought The High Road was a place where one could state their opinions on firearms without others getting all snotty about it...including someone that helps moderate the site. Sheesh!

I finally got a scope with a 30mm scope tube, but didn't realize it because I was looking at the relatively inexpensive target scope for my .223. Not a big problem, once I got a new mount for it.And so here is a question that ties right in with the "great optic" part of your post: Have manufacturers pretty much given up on producing a top notch 1" tube scope? It seems like these days if it aint 30 mm it aint nothin'
