One rifle is going to be too much or not enough for something on your list. In your shoes, I would go with some flavor of .24, .25, or .26 and a 7 PRC, and keep the .308 as a suitable back up to either.
I think the shift is somewhat attributable to every generation thinking it has a better idea, combined with Gen Z wanting to go to the opposite extreme of boomers on every issue. The fact is 130-180 grain bullets driven at standard velocities have always been suitable for everything in North...
The congressional democrats could have stopped it, but didn't. 47 House democrats deserve the same criticism as President Reagan for this. I'm not sure what information in your link you think appears to contradict my point that it was a bad idea and has caused a lot of problems.
I absolutely...
Every state has involuntary commitment laws for unstable people who are a danger to themselves or others. We used to have funded facilities in which to place them for mandatory treatment. I get the mindset that they aren't at fault for their mental illness and it isn't necessarily fair that at...
And the democrat controlled House and Senate who passed the Bill he signed.
This is exactly why the U.S. is in the shape we are in. We have a population largely made up of people too simple minded to analyze a problem and far too quick to jump on a political bandwagon. But they'll tell you...
The proper response to this would be to reintroduce the public mental health system that was largely dismantled in the early to mid 80's in favor of "community treatment," that was never funded. You know, deal with those who are the problem and leave the rest of us alone.
I can't tell for sure from your photos if the rifle is original or a reproduction. If it is an original, I wouldn't recommend shooting it without having a gunsmith who knows these guns check it out. If it is a modern repro, 45-70 grains of 3F is pretty standard.
As I posted earlier, 43 USC 1061 covers this, and 43 USC 1062 requires the U.S. Attorney to take action upon complaint of a violation.

It looks like it should be pretty straight forward to settle the issue.
Most of my dogs have come from "backyard" breeders who had a litter because they had a dog good enough they wanted a pup out of them. Those people always breed to another dog they know to be good, and have the paperwork to prove it. It's pretty easy to tell with just a short conversation and...
I think it would a bad idea to focus on the airspace question in this situation because any hard rule that comes about would almost certainly involve a higher altitude than human height. If I was handling this case, I would focus solely on the issue of public access to public land and 43 USC...
This is definitely becoming a problem with GSP's and some other breeds that have become popular with non-hunters. One certainly needs to know how to read a pedigree. Also, don't buy unregistered pups, or from ladies who drive a Prius and give you a blank look when asked how many birds they...
