Since I started hunting four years ago, the .243 was what I started out with and has the caliber of choice of the "younger" farm folk (while the 30.06 is a holdout with the older farmers) that have taught and taken me out to hunt. I don't shoot more than 200 yard shots, which I feel is...

Saiga 223 Only had 40 rounds left, so I had to make the best of it. Groups are larger than I expected, but probably due to the fact that I just cleaned the gun and it shoots better dirty. But no excuses, it is what it is... so here we go: The evidence... Saiga 223 Max: 3.317 Sights...

As for the stock... that depends on whether it's a staggered feed (blind mag attached to the stock) or center feed (blind mag attached to the action). My slightly older Savages with AccuTrigger are staggered, while my slightly new Stevens is centered. I wanted to swap the stocks but can't...

No trophy pics, but I thought these were pretty cool... Not a legal buck, so I couldn't shoot him with my bow... shot him with my camera instead. :rolleyes: Last weekend of the season... and I wanted to fill my tags.

Having hunted with that round last year, I could attest to it's capabilities. But of course within limits, as the same could be said about pretty much any other rounds and taking into consideration the shooter's ability, shot placement, distance, yada yada. The TSX will do 1 - 1.5" out of my...

Adam, Check out MDC's Conservation Reserves, just pick your preferred County or Region. http://mdc4.mdc.mo.gov/applications/moatlas/AreaList.aspx?txtUserID=guest&txtAreaNm=s You'll have to go through each location to see what the legal method is. Most are archery only, but some do...

Gotta love that 243! I used the Sierra HPBT two years ago. The results were quite explosive with a quartering shot from about 50 yards, the entrance hole had to be about 2" wide. I was getting dime sized groups from my Savage with it, but I saw a bit of copper frags on bone so I was a bit...

What's a 60/40 hold? The target paper has 10" targets on each side and I'd say that 80% of the pellets were within the 10" round at 25 yards. I was running out of shells once I got the 50 yard target, so there wasn't much room for experimenting with hold overs. Unfortunately, the paper...

I'm starting to get turkey fever and can't wait for spring to come. :D I decided to go to the local range to sight in my fairly new setup, a Rem870 12ga SuperMag Express, Primos JellyHead, and topped with a TruGlo reddot. The range has target posts at 25 yard intervals. I brought a box of...

Which only goes to show that the 243 is a more than adequate deer round, as long as you know your's and the bullet's capabilities (that could be said with any round). I don't use the Win SuperX (doesn't group well out of my rifle), but I switch between Federal's Sierra BTHP and Barnes TSX...

How soon before we start seeing the one million + threads on "Is .223 enough to take down a polar bear?" :neener::evil:

He mentions in another thread that he's 15... which would probably explain the apparent over enthusiasm, curt demeanor, etc, etc... But to throw a wrench in the mix, I love my Savage (w/ accutrigger) it's affordable and suits both my hunting and paper punching needs. :D

Been a long time THR lurker, but I had to chime in on this one. I just got into hunting 2 years ago and would consider myself a late starter (didn't start shooting and hunting until I was 30). I was taught by old school farmers that at least the three most important things being: 1. Your...
