Re: Used S&W 28-2 Bit high, but it seems that prices on N frames keep going higher and higher. I bought my first 28-2 for 450 about 5 years ago. That's considered damn good deal now.

I searched and didn't see much about it, but it appears there's some pretty deep-seated dispute about hunting with SMKs. Where do you fall and why?

Re: 168gr SMK Muley I've been giving some thought to hunting with 168 SMKs myself. Very nice.

Re: Ammo question: M118LR vs FGMM 175 IIRC from other discussions, M118LR is not typically on par with FGMM.

Re: LE Rem 700 .308 LTR Shot these today with FGMM 175. Left is 100 and right is 200 yards. Yes, I know about 3 shot groups, but I didn't have enough ammo to work it all the way to 300 with 5 shot groups. The 300 group was about 2.5 inches and nothing I was too proud of. I guess I kinda...

Re: deer hunting out of a truck? Boy, I bet some of ya'll would have a fit over the guys down here running dogs AND shooting deer from a pickup truck.

Re: LE Rem 700 .308 LTR I have this setup, purchased used from a friend of a friend. The scope is pretty nice, though I'd really prefer having turrets and mildots. Like the rest of the rifle, it's something I can use to learn with. I can easily see that once my capabilities increase, I'll...

Re: 500 yards pictures and video I am seriously impressed with the 500 yard run. I've only done 300 myself, and I had people I know calling BS on even that. There's no way they'd believe 500.

Re: What does it cost you to go to the range? Bout $15 in fuel and whatever I'm shooting for the day for the hundred yard line. Double that for the longer range.

Re: Video: Hunter Kills Moose - 1100 Yard Shot. What's the "vapor" appearance, presumably along the bullet flight path, before the bullet hits the moose, about the 50 second mark?

Re: T-shirts I'm in!

Re: fixed 10x scope on all a round hunting rig? Nah. I'm skipping the penis-measuring contest with some dude who essentially agrees with what I said, but feels the need to waggle a little bit while doing it. My kills tend to be more along the lines of rock-throwing distance, and with...

Re: fixed 10x scope on all a round hunting rig? IN the past, I used my 10x Bushnell on a .308 without issue. That's in the woods and swamps of S Alabama and North Florida, too. The 10x scope works for almost anything I need it for, and if they're too close, the .357 or .44 pistol can handle...
