I'm looking into picking up a 590A1 and like the looks of the ghost ring sights. I believe I have only fired one rifle with these before and only have a vague memory of it. I realize it may mostly be personal preference, but are they worth the additional cost? Why or why wouldn't you choose them...

What size shot would you recommend for small game or varmint hunting with12 or 20 gauge? I realize this is a very broad question and I really don't have any specifics to add at this time. I'm just looking to gather as much knowledge as possible and appreciate all input. Thanks in advance.

Are there any discernible real world differences between 308 Win vs. 338 Federal on large game (deer size and larger) when hunting out to 300 yards? What are the performance advantages of one over the other?

Which would you choose or which do you prefer when using .308 Win for deer hunting?

I'm picking up my first 10/22 this weekend and I'm looking to put a decent scope on it. I was wondering what everyone's opinion is. I'm not looking to spend more than ~$200 and I'm pretty sure I don't want a scope with a standard parallax setting of 100 yards. I like the idea of a nice 2-7x and...

Primary use would be for deer hunting on shots no longer than 300 yards. The additional energy and penetration of the .260 would be nice for shots on larger game as well, which I would not use the .243 for. What is your opinion?

I'm planning to pick up a Ruger M77/44 for deer hunting here in the northeast. I'm looking for a quality low power scope with generous eye relief. I was thinking something like a 1-4x or 2-7x would be best. All shots will be under 100 yards, most more like 50-75 yards. The most I would like to...

I realize that this is a match bullet used for long range target shooting. However, I was wondering if any has any experience with this round for small game or varmint hunting in .223 Rem. If so, how is the expansion and killing power? Thanks.

Anyone have any experience with this rifle? Specifically, I'm most likely looking for one in 7mm-08 that will be my primary deer rifle, but any thoughts on the rifle itself would be appreciated. Looks like it might be a nice all weather alternative that won't feel flimsy or too light like I have...

In your opinion, which is the better cartridge for deer hunting at long range (> 300 yards)? The 25-06 has the clear velocity advantage, but the 7mm bullets win when it comes to BC and will hold their velocity better. I have read a lot about the 25-06 being an excellent long range deer round...

I'm looking to pick up a new rifle with a wood stock and stainless barrel in 7mm-08 and these two seem to fit the bill. Which would you choose and why? Other suggestions are also welsome if they fit the criteria. Thanks.

I'm wondering what the great appeal is of the 25 cal bullets for hunters? From what I have read, it seems that everyone who owns a 25-06 or a 257 Roberts absolutely loves it. However, from comparing balistics, I just don't see what is so great about the 25 cal bullets when compared to the...

I realize all barrels are unique, but let's keep it simple. Which round would you prefer when shooting from a 22" tube?

What do you guys think of the .280 as a long range cartridge for deer size game up to elk? I'm thinking a 24" or even a 26" barrel to take full advantage of the round. Bullets would likely be ~140 grains for deer size game and ~160 and heavier for elk. I wouldn't really think of taking a shot...

I'm wondering what everyone's experiences have been with these bullets for deer hunting. I have read mixed results regarding penetration. I know that they tend to expand very rapidly at faster speeds, but I'm curious as to how they penetrate on deer when using the 140/139 grain bullets in...

What would you consider to be the best factory load for varmints in .243? Looking for an all around varmint round for ground squirrels up to yotes sized critters. Distances likely to be within 300 yards. Also, what would you take if reaching out to 500 yards?

If you had to choose between 1:9 and 1:12, which would you take and why? Which would be best for 50 - 60 grain bullets?

Looking into getting a .243 that will eventually be used for deer. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the 85gr Nosler Partition for whitetail deer? I'm planning to keep my shots inside 200 yards if I can.

I'm looking into scopes for a new rifle purchase. It will likely be a .308 used for hunting and target shooting out to medium ranges (< 300 yards). I was thinking a good 3-9x40 would work. I would like to know what I would be gaining by going with the Zeiss over the Elite 4200? I realize that...

Can sombody please try to explain the difference between these bullets for me. When comparing the same weight bullet in .308 the Interbond and the SST appear to be ballistic twins (numbers taken from Hornady) while the SST and Interlock appear to share a similar construction. Will the expansion...
