If you are referring to my Avatar I do believe the hood is Gray and not Black...Irrelevant in any case....
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Mr. Humble</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Again try to keep it REAL simple:
1. you, obviously can't operate a BOSS.
2. the one hole (DUH) groups were at 100. That's what almost everyone uses unless they say otherwise. 300 yards is a bit different, especially with a Trijicon 3-9 with a pointed picket post.
3. Again (DUH) I "COULD" not I "WILL" buy an A Bolt 30-06. Besides it's is my wife's 30-06 not mine. My wife does not wear a Burka, so I don't take her stuff.
4. Many rifles will shoot well, but few at the middle class price point are as flexible as a BOSS equipped one.
5. Your 26" barreled 300 WinMag was one of a kind. A Bolts with BOSS systems in Magnum calibers have a 24" barrel, the BOSS adds 2".</div></div>
Keeping it REAL simple is your only choice and that is due to the short comings between your ears...
We'll address the 5 items that seemed to stump you here "Turbo"...
1. I do know how to opereate a BOSS as mentioned above... The groups did get down to 3/4 MOA... Not actually
an acceptable shooting weapon for my taste's... If removal of the BOSS allowed the rifle to shoot better then why would it have been installed in the first place...
2. I as well as everyone here understood the one hole groups were at 100 yds... So you took a 1/4 MOA rifle(per you one hole statement) and turned it into a 1.33 MOA rifle... then use the excuse that it is due to your 3-9 power scope and your reticle choice.... Great job on equipment choices there Turbo...
3.(DUH) I asked why "WOULD" not why "DID" you buy another.... I know coulda, shoulda, woulda... Never said your wife wears a Burka but obviously she does wear the pants of the house...
4. Most rifles shoot well... Alot better than the person buying them... As for the BOSS being flexible... That would be a matter of choice... Something that has to use that amount of ammo to "FINE TUNE" groups for each individual type of ammo sounds like a cluster fuck.. To each his own...
5. To be honest I never measured the barrel and only went off the info listed on the box... It was listed at 26"...
A well as it is listed on the Browning web site as 26"....
Browning A-Bolt... Go figure...
As for the remainder of your babbling bullshit... What did any of it have to do with the discussion other than a way to divert from the topic even further than you already have... Typical in your case.... No one cares what you did in the 60s or that you carry a sheet in your glove box.... At least try to keep the topic in the shooting category...
I would love for you to school me in the fine art of shooting but I do not own a Browning rifle or a Super Grade M 70 at all.... But I'm sure I would be impressed....
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Mr. Humble</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> BTW, back in 60s when I was stationed in MS, they wore white not black hoods. Your debating skills are right up there with Al Franken!
Still waiting for HARD evidence. How about an independent test of BOSS vs non-BOSS rifle, same make, model & scope, with same factory ammo?
You got the money, I got the time.......
The thing that killed the BOSS was the venting, it looked different and the "gun writers" never really bothered to try it out. The same "gun writers" who killed the 280 Rem, 257 Bob, small fixed power scopes and also think that 30 new cartridges that do nothing old one will not, are God's gift to shooters.
Like a 200 gr TSX from a 35 Whelen @2800 fps will bounce off an Elk but a 200 gr TSX from a 325 WSM @2800 fps will drop him in his tracks. Oh, I forgot, you get a "short action" and a case shape way inferior from the feeding standpoint... WOW.
Then try stuffing a 300 gr Woodleigh in them (oops 220 is the max for the 8mm) and see what happens.
Finally, yes I like Barnes because they are killers. One shot, one dead animal, 100%. Before Xs, I used Partitions (back to when they were made on screw turning machines!). Again, one shot, dead animal. Still a good bullet, just not as good.
Pass the popcorn!

This has to be the funniest shit you have typed to date....

You've killed two elk, a handful of goats and 50 or so deer and now you have MASTERED hunting in multiple methods... You are high on your own supply there Turbo.... Keep posting and keep us laughing...
BTW.... I use the quote function so when your bottom lip starts to quiver and you run and edit your posts , they will still be seen in my posts for others to admire .... Purely for entertainment may I add...
The Barnes discussion we will leave for a different thread as to not Hijack the OP's thread anymore.... See you there Gramps....
