I've killed and eaten all on this list, plus a few more. My preferences:
1A. Huns that have been eating in wheat fields
1B. Valley Quail
2. Pheasant
3. Mountain Quail
4. Blue Grouse
5. Ruffed Grouse
6. Gambels Quail
7. Chukar
8. Wild Turkey
Sharptails are just gross. Sage Hens aren't much...
What is "a 10 shot extension tube?" Is that part of the stock shotgun that you are calling unreliable? Pretty much everywhere I've hunted even 5 shots is illegal.
I have also settled on the factory 140gr Hornady ELDM. Super accurate, great performance on game and seems to be just about the perfect size bullet to use in a 6.5 Creedmoor to take great advantage of both long-range ballistics and taking the guesswork out of shorter-range work.
You didn't say what you're hunting and at what ranges. If you're hunting deer at ranges out to 400 yards or so, I'd give the Winchester Copper Impact 125gr loads a try. They have been quite accurate for me and knocked the crap out of everything I've hit with one.
I admit this is limited...
I would pick up a half dozen boxes of various ammo with different bullet weights, as sometimes rifles will prefer lighter or heavier bullets. I'd start with 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tips ... as fine of a deer bullet as has ever been made. Then go up to 125gr Winchester Deer Season XP. Awesome...
Thanks.
I've often thought that this pack is what the original Metcalf should have been. I love the configuration and the frame hauls animals and heavy loads easily.

There are grizzlies roaming freely all through Idaho, with a fairly healthy population in the Panhandle and the Selkirks.
North Cascades National Park in NW Washington also has quite a few. They have been spotted as far south and East as I-90 near Cle Elum.
Thanks.
I haven't been able to find the aluminum mag releases from Shield ..... only steel. Do you happen to have a link?
I am seriously thinking about a G48 MOS for this use.
Energy doesn't matter. Impact velocity and bullet construction do.
The longer, sleeker bullets fired from the 7mm SAW will have a larger window of effective range than a standard 7mm-08.
Tough question!
My all-time favorite handgun is the G17 Gen 4. I am convinced that Glock somehow used a model of my hand when they were developing the finger grooves for that model. It really is a perfect fit, although way too large for most carry duties I'd require. Helluva nightstand pistol...
