If my poor memory serves me, we just had several posts regarding this style of rifle and carring it in the deer woods. Nearly everyone recognizes a person's right to use the rifle, in the same regard most would prefer that hunters carry a more traditional sylye hunting rifle. I am glad that in some states this type of firearm is not legal for deer hunting. I highly endorse the right to own one and agree that it is best suited for a different type of animal. The 308 is a great deer round!
gator, its just the plublic impression we're concerned with. I will tell you if i saw a cammo clad guy with an ar 10 in the woods close to me, I would be on high alert mode. No question you have THE right to use it but is it really the best thing to do?
That's pretty good old man, but I can put the whiskers back on with the weatherby 270wm. Heat bonded:w00t:
Bruce, my dad got 4 270 Weatherby M5's, after he quit hunting and after my brother died I ended up with three of them. My sister /nephew has the 4th one. I really hate to hunt with them as they are heavy and the stock doesn't fit me very well. All have 3X9X44 Weatherby scopes on them. Kick like a mule but they do shoot fast and accurate. I would like to trade one for a 300 wm for elk, even though I know the 270 would knock their lights out. What's that model Ruger you're using?
ronn, accumulator that's appropriate. Feel same way sometimes. Like a stamp collector except you really get to do something with them.
Would the owner of the brady poster please stand up and be counted!:w00t:
