Why to light? My first thought also was that it's to light. I know many people, myself included, that shoot 80-100gr bullets in .243 and never have a problem and we consider these bullets "heavy enough" But my first reaction is to consider a 100gr psp; the same GN and bullet I shoot...

Many of the Gander Mt. stores also carry the 20's and 30's. They have stores in York, Greensburg and Chambersburg.

IOR 1.1-4x26 I have the IOR 1.1-4x26 CRT. The CQB reticule is very nice for quick target take up. The ring surrounding the center dot is thicker than usual and draws your eye better than the NF FC-2. My eyes aren't the best and to me the IOR has a big advantage there. I haven't killed a battery...

The williamsport shoots are a lot of fun and you can learn a lot from the guys there, they are very helpfull and will take the time to explain things not just say you need this and this and that. If your have the wife and kids you can rent a cabin at Knoebels grove(a free admission amusement...

I have the T3 hunter in .270wsm, it handles and shoots very nicely. My 1 major complaint is the stock finish, Tikka uses oil finish as their standard so the stock scratches VERY easily, 2 days in the bush with normal wear and tear and the stock looks terrible. So if you go with Tikka I suggest...

Does anyone make a .257 weatherby barrel for the Encore? I've scoured the 'net but have yet to find anyone listing this chambering.

What rifle do you hunt deer with? I would say stick with that if it's above .243. A "clean kill" as you say is more about shot placement than power, though power does give a little wiggle room. Your deer rifle should be just fine. Unless of course you're looking for an excuse to buy a new...

The more I read the more confused i become. I gotta agree with MDAO, There are 2 opposed sides here. I'll admit I'm a supporter of varmint bullets for SD/HD, specifically Nosler 55gr ballistic tips. I'll agree with the fact that they lack penetration, I believe someone posted penetration of...

I would stay away from the Mosin as a first hunting rifle. I have a "sporterized" M44 The gun drilled and tapped for scope, a scope and having the bolt doglegged set me back 200$ total. I've taken several deer with it and like it, but I just don't feel that the saftey system on it is good for a...

TJ, .308 is plenty of gun for PA blackies, granted there are a few shot every year that go over 800#, they're not a tough or dangerous as an Alaskan bear. Most hunters use their deer rifle, I use a 7mmSTW w/barnes 140gn triple shock bullets and I know several people here who use 243. and have...

Low quality guns are very common at the BIG BOX stores. It's all about time and money. The store places an order for X amount of a certain gun to be delivered on a cetain date, if the order is late the manufacture gets charged a penalty for not completing the order on time. In order to...

I hunt with both, inline in the early season and flintlock in the late season so I don't care what you hunt with. My gripe is with the Idiots that don't know a thing about muzzleloader hunting that buy the inline starter packs shoot them once and head out hunting. I find that unethecial in bot...

I hope you enjoy it whether you pull the trigger or not. I'm a pretty diehard hunter. I spend every possible hour in the field I can and have been doing so for 17yrs. It's not about the kill, it's like you said the buddies the beers and B/S in the evenings and the piece with nature. There...

No, you can shoot 2-3/4" in a 3" gun, in a 3-1/2" chamber you can shoot 2-3/4", 3". 3-1/2". The length on the barrel is the max. length you can saftely shoot.

Either of those loads will work just fine, like hunting anything shot placement is more important. here we have bear taken every year with .243's some of them going 500+ pounds. As far as the eating aspect you'll have to try it and see for your self, bear meat is mostly love it or hate it...

For some fun plinking, you can reload with a Magnum rifle primer, no powder and a .22 cal. pellet. The Mag primer has enough pop to send the pellet out about the same speed as a .22lr. It's pretty quiet and the pellets are a low richochet risk which it a great pest gun in housing developments.
