    Pellets do matter

    I have a few tack-driving .22 pellet rifles that, if going off of how they shot the first brand of pellets I tried, I would have used as tomato stakes. I will say that most of mine have done well enough for hunting with the Diablo Exacts.

    Inexpensive, low-maintenance, southpaw-friendly?

    Buy that Tikka. My .308 shoots just about anything, factory or reloads, REALLY well.

    wooden vs synthetic

    For a rifle I am going to use, synthetic trumps wood in weight, durability, repeatability, and utility. For something to look at, well, wood is/can be better looking.

    I am sure you can figure out a use for that AR if you watch the news........

    T3 vs. Vanguard

    While I love my Tikka, it is in a low-recoil caliber. The aluminum recoil lug on the Tikka would turn me to the Vanguard.

    CT: The "Destroy or Hand Over Rifles & Mags" Letter

    Elected officials would be wise to take note of how widespread the civil disobedience is.

    Legal Ownership and Straw Purchases: SCOTUS

    That is my point. Other than for backdoor registration purposes, why does .gov GAF in the first place? Make the question something like: "do you intend to re-sell this firearm to a prohibited person or in an illegal manner?"

    Legal Ownership and Straw Purchases: SCOTUS

    My issue with the entire case and the BATFE's "addition" of questions, not to mention the complete 180 of their interpretation, is idea that buying a gun for someone else, THEN TRANSFERRING IT TO THAT PERSON THROUGH AN FFL, thus ensuring that they are not a prohibited person, is illegal.

    Caliber vs. meat yield

    A lot if you are close and hit bone. I got two with a 16.5" handi-rifle this year. I used 240grain XTPs with good results.

    Would you take a shot at dusk?

    Yes, I have shot several deer at the end of legal light. I make sure it is a GOOD shot, and I use a headlamp to field-dress.
