    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.

    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.

    270 Win. woods load

    Brian, I've used the .270 on deer here in MN as close as 10 yards out to about 125 yards. I didn't notice any difference between the 130 and 150 grain bullets shooting the Federal Fusions or handloading Sierra Game King's. If you don't want to ruin the shoulder meat, shoot both lungs behind...

    Who uses a single shot for deer

    I shot two this year with an H&R Handi in 44 mag. They were about half-a-minute apart, so I doubt the fact that I had a single shot hurt.....

    Pistol caliber rifles

    This, but in .44 mag. Inexpensive, strong, safe. Very handy deer hunting due to it's short length. Recoil is mild for what you get out of the muzzle.

    30 cal hunters - Favorite whitetail bullet weight?

    180 out of my .308, but 100 yards would be a long shot in the woods I hunt......
