I am going buying a new rifle (thinking about a Model 70 Winchester) and am considering a .243 or a 25-06. I will NOT be hunting anything larger than Mule Deer. I also like to punch paper. Suggestions on manufacturer, caliber and barrel length would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Paul

I am considering buying a T/C Impact. I would appreciate any input: good, bad and ugly. :) Paul

.270 or .270WSM Jack O'Connor was right. Paul

hardpan, Thank you for the input. I appreciate it. Paul

If anyone is going to the Atlanta Africa Show, I would be interested in a report. Many thanks, Paul

Nice buck and story! :grin: Congrats. Paul

Thanks for the info Scotty, I appreciate it. Paul

I appreciate everyone's input. Thanks a bunch! Paul

Scotty, Would you supply a little info on the muzzle breaks you mentioned? Many thanks, Paul

Don't like muzzle breaks. There are other options that will reduce recoil without the noise increase. I do have a "big boy" gun, .50 cal muzzleloader. If you ever shoot one stoked up with about 130-140 grains equiv., you'll see what I mean. Paul

I am struggling between a 270WSM or 30-06. I have decided to buy a Tikka left handed and put a Trijicon Accupoint scope on it. Other than hunting, I enjoy playing with new loads and spending time at the range. Here are the animals I would most likely hunt with it: Black Bear, Pronghorn, Mule...

There you go! Nice doe. Good to see a little "management hunting" taking place! :grin: Paul

Have 2 preference points in WY for Antelope. Hoping to get to Africa for a PG hunt late this summer in Zimbabwe. South Dakota for Pheasants in October or November. Paul

That'll do! Way to go! :grin:

Has anyone had experience with the Nikon Premier 10x42 binoculars? Any input and comments would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul

Great pics. I always like seeing young people hunting. They are our future. Paul

JD338 asked me to report on the DSC convention. For those interested, I just posted in the African forum. Many thanks, Paul

JD338 asked me to report on the 2011 DSC Convention. I attended yesterday, the opening day. It was the only day I was be able to go. Attendance is usually lower on Thursday, which is the reasons I go at that time. It is much easier to talk to folks and get questions answered. That being...

Well, I have decided on a rifle to buy. I did a little more research and have decided on a Tikka Lite Stainless/Synthetic 30-06. It has several features that I like. 70 degree bolt throw, 1 MOA out of the box, lighter weight (am not getting any younger at age 56) :shock: , smooth action, and...

JD338, Will do. It is January 6-9. I will go at least 2 days, maybe all 4. Am considering a Plains Game hunt in Zim with Brent Hein. Paul
