I was mostely worried about looking for a bear after it had been shot already. The woods here are so thick and working through them looking for a bear with only a bow just doesn't make me feel good. I know people say that practice and practice you're shot placement but a bear is going to run...

So I was planning on getting a glock 20 to carry while hunting in the woods, especially when black bear hunting because of the power of the 10mm round and then also getting a smaller pistol 38 or something to carry. All I have now is a full size 1911. Not the easiest to carry and would like more...

To do this as cheaply as possible go with the remington BDL. The model 700 is the most upgradeable gun there is. The action is solid, the stock is crap but it will get you started. Look at HS precision for a good stock it drops right in. Mcmillians are awsome but I believe you have to bed them...

I've been looking at getting a side arm for hunting and I think have finally narrowed it down to a glock 20 or 20 compensated (20C). Not getting this for a primary hunting gun but for a side arm to pull out after a bear has been downed and am crawling through bushes looking for it or other...

I am not going to be using the Glock for as primary hunting gun, just carring for backup, up close and finishing.

This is primarily for carring for protection and where I hunt in Western WA after you down a bear you're looking in thick brush, much better to have a quick handling pistol that weilding your rifle through it all. Also I have stumbled through some what appeared to be abandoned meth sites and...

I've been looking at getting a side arm for hunting and I think have finally narrowed it down to a glock 20 or 20 compensated (20C). For those that don't know this is the 10mm w/ 15 rounds capacity. I carry a side arm for 40% four legged animals and 60 % 2 legged. I've been carring a 1911 45ACP...

Go with what you know, if you know that what you have will work. I have used the black cloud for ducks and noticed nothing special about them. If this is just another hunt then I really wouldn't worry. If this is a big hunt for you and you want to make sure you have a good one look into the...

I recently posted a thread the 270 Win. Vs. 7mm Rem mag. the 270 won for me. Now that I have made up my mind it starts it wonder about other things. So I throwing a new one out now. I think the 270 is for me but wondering what people think about the 308 win and the 7mm-08. So again here is the...

I have decieded that between the 270 Win and 7mm Rem mag I will probably go with the 270. I thank everyone for the post and information keep them coming if you like I have a little while till I purchace said gun. Now that I made up my mind about the 270 over the 7mm rem mag my mind starts to...

Also I know that a shooter is the weak link in a shot out to 500 but lets just assume I know what am doing and am capable of making this shot. I am not at this point but would never take a shot at a range I have not made many times before. I have made a bad shot on a deer and it was a horrible...

To anwser Sunray I own a tikka t3 in 300 wsm and I have the limb savers recoil pad made a HUGE differance. I est the recoil to be around 26-28lbs of recoil because the only info I could find for my 6.5 lbs rifle is with 180 gr bullets and it states that it would be 30 lbs. Everyone is making a...

thanks for your help. I'm leaning toward the 270 win. I just want to kill what I'm shooting at cleanly and responsibly. I don't want to kill it a lot :)
