whatever you buy there are some good deals around that's for sure. don't over complicate things, buy reasonable quality and spend the rest getting out there.

If Im wrong, then I apologise. It just looked like a troll. Out of date calibres, Fixed power scopes and thermal all in one post looked designed to create argument. Then a location given as a known shipwreck.Quote:

For me at the moment I'm shopping for the obligator 12 gauge pump & Ruger 10/22.
For bigger, smal game, I'm torn between 22 Hornet (an oldie, but a goodie). or 222 or 223.
For big, big game, the debate is still wide open from 243, a range of 6.5mm or 30 cal, but probably, almost certainly, on a short action with a fast twist barrel. The fixed 8x Shmidt and Bender will go on that.
I enjoyed your photo gallery, insperational, thanks.
Would that be Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse mick?Quote:

.270 is not done, never will be.get a .270.
The illuminated reticle is also great on black Pigs/Bears and the like.
I should explain why my posts are only appearing in clusters. Right now I am of no (permanent) fixed abode, until I get the location of my next job sorted. I also don't have a laptop (hope to get that with the job) so right now and until then, I'm calling into Public Libraries to use their computers and they close at either 6pm or 7pm so I'm "off-line" all night. Classic survival in the jungle stuff!
Id be interested to know why you cant hunt unless you have a thermal....
I'M BLIND!Quote:
