I'll be Mostly doing close in hunting (less than 50 yards)ocassionally across a field (100 yards). Was thinking about either a Marlin 336 (35Rem) or a S&W model 629(?) 44 Mag, 8 3/8" bbl. Other options/suggestions would be appreciated. ajb
If you can consistantly keep all the shots on a standard paper plate with a handgun at 100 yards, go for it.(less than 50 yards)ocassionally across a field (100 yards).
How can you people tell him what gun to use? He does not even say what he is hunting.
Maybe the S&W 629 is more accurate than my Redhawk. What I know is that my 44 Mag. Redhawk does not have what it takes to give acceptable 100 yard hunting accuracy. At 50 yards it would work on deer but just barely.
I guess we montana guys are game snobs growing up in PA, it was deer and black bear, no variety really. Forget how lucky we are here in Mt to have it all so to speak. Of course having it all keeps a guy broke applying for all the tags every year as well!
There any Nilgai in Montana?
No but I would take the mountains and landscape over any kind of exotic, non-native species anyday of the week. I think you would be really surprised at the waterfowl up here in these parts for sure.
