This has been a good read. I have a Venom Red Dot on a Glock 40 I use as a hunting weapon. A similar setup in a 9mm for practice. It is only used off a stick or rail for precise shooting. I still need more practice……

I’m already there with two of them……

I too shot Skeet. Closer to actual hunting birds. Loved the windy days. Unfortunately our club was shutdown. Closest skeet field is100+ miles away. Was spoiled having it in our home town. Shot twice a week if not more.

Yes I am ! Not to side track the thread - but a marriage is a "Long term Commitment to your Partner" You get out of it what you put into it.

I know I’m a little late to the party… My wife just purchased for my B Day a Marlin 1894 SS 44 Mag. I’ve been wanting one for years. I’ll be cleaning and shooting it today. Plan on reloading for this rifle. I’ve got some homework to do first. Also in the safe is- Savage 99 in a 300 Sav...

We have on occasion have moose in our backyard but I have not captured a pic with the doorbell yet ! Now that’s awesome!

In my 28N I’m going to use the 175 PT. We have on occasion shot cow elk at less then 50 yds while in the timber and brush. Usually more controlled then that and catch them coming out of the timber where either would work just fine.

So real ! When a teenager I sandblasted in the family business. No hearing protection. Shooting , snowmobiles, chainsaws and power tools etc…. Now going on 38 years in paper mills even with ear plugs, I have permanent hearing loss. I use hearing aids most of the time and hearing protection...

The 243W is our favorite. Throw a 260 and a 338F in there too.

Great Conversation going. My two Sako 85 Finnlights ( 300WSM & 243W ) both carry Swarovski Z5 3x18, light wt ,mtn hunting rifles. I have 3 Ridglines in med/long range cartridges that have a Zeiss V6 and two V4s. The 6.5x284 w/ the V6 is my most carried rifle last 6 years. Various other rifles...

Wow 53y I’m impressed!, We’re knocking on 37y this year and she’s retiring on her birthday !

Yes it is !

I just picked up some 7MM 175gn PT for actually a good price. Thank you Nosler. Putting together an Elk load for my 28 Nosler. My first Elk was with a 7MM RMag back in ‘82. I’ve watched my son put one on the ground with his 28 and both Elk were bang flop. That high SD with this PT should...

I still see a couple choices on the shelves yet and brass on occasion.

I have a few of the Diamondbacks HPs but not at that power. For the $ they are worthy. They won’t compare to higher end scopes, but like I stated - in their price point, they are ok. I have not had a failure. Rimfire, up to .243 W. When I purchased mine I remember Vortex saying it was same...

I've been a long time user of RL17 in my 270 and 300 WSMs - I switched to RL26 but that is not available anymore. I'm going to try RL16 and Vihtavouri powders. Good luck

This has got mind spinning on my Sav 99 - 300 Sav. I have a VXII 3x9x40 sitting on top. I’ve got plenty of factory CoreLokt 150 boxes but would like to load up something in the 125gn. I think it’s pretty amazing that we see the Sav 99 still popping up in the forum every once in a while...

As all the responses above are loud and clear ! Load up and go Elk hunting. My first elk was a 5pt with a 7Rem Mag and 175gn Core-Lokts. Bang flop. I presently shoot a 28N but that’s just a touch more fps than the King of 7’s. I load 160AB or the 175PT. I haven’t hunted with it yet but...
