    Don't buy a second hand pulsar unless it is still under warranty. We do a lot of night work and virtually every single pulsar we have had dealings with has had to be sent back, usually within two...

    Buck shot is awesome. Seems to have a pretty bad reputation here by the looks. Rules to using buck shot are simple. Know your range and your gun's limitation. If you can consistently get 4 buck...

    Another tick for the 168gr eldm/amax. Just one of those combos that work better than it should. Mine load through a 16" is 45gr 2208 giving me 2520fps. Furthest deer was 635 yards.

    Yeah .308 vote here too, 16". Easy to get ammo. If you see a deer at 500 yards then it is more than capable of that. You can buy a 16" Tikka one already threaded off the shelf.

    Yeah I was in the same boat as you last year. 223 just wasn't cutting it for night work on deer and everything else I owned had too much recoil and is a pain losing sight of the animal at night. ...

    buzzman liked post by TLB On thread : Pard 008
    The new pard scopes are apparently a lot better. I had a pard 008 but had quite a small field of view, because of the mounting setup it also got knocked out fairly easily in the side x side. I use a...

    I use it for 130gr speers and it is very accurate. Never chronographed it though so can't comment on velocity.

    Quite a few of the cullers run 12" to 14" barrels and they shoot a fair amount of animals so 16" be fine. Mine is 15" or so and have no trouble shooting deer with it. Even out at 300 plus yards seem...
