"Freedom's Safest Place" NRA Videos...have you guys seen these!
There's a huge untapped market out there for the NRA that they've denigrated and vilified, but I think they burned that bridge to the ground years ago. It also doesn't help that they've so staunchly entrenched themselves as being part of the problem. That is, it's possible to strongly believe in...- Opoponax

Found a Rifle, But..
This^. If a "lighter" load is 180 grains, then the 30-06 may very well be the best choice. You can finds rounds from as little 110 grains, all the way up to 220. The latter would be good application for every game animal the OP mentioned. I own two 30-0's (Browning and Savage). I can sit... -
NRA Warns Hunters to Prepare for War
Have you read the Second Amendment with an honest eye? Then, have you read the "I read sentences going from the start, skip the middle, and then go to the end, while pretending I'm an English teacher" holding from Heller? I've had to read many tortured dissents and opinions by many SCOTUS...- Opoponax

NRA Warns Hunters to Prepare for War
From the article: Do you want criminals to own guns? Do you want illegal gun purchases to occur? Do you want more guns in the hands of those who would use them as an aid to commit violent crimes? At what point in that article does it mention anything about banning guns from law abiding...- Opoponax

NRA Warns Hunters to Prepare for War
How has anyone's freedom to own firearms decreased? Start naming all these horrendous threats. I vote Democrat and Green and never once have I felt any serious threat to my ability to own a firearm. Hell, I own seven, with a Sako 416 Rem Mag on the way. And I live in California (thankfully)...- Opoponax

Which rifle and round to get next? 270 7mm-08 7mm Rem Mag
That's what I was gonna say. You can find ammo from 120-220 grains. Or one could go with a something like an RPG-32. It's a little heavy for smaller game, but doesn't recoil against the shoulder at all. It'll also cook and quarter, at least partially, whatever you hit with it. Not only that... -
Burris Eliminator III Scopes & Range Finding Binoculars
Anyone have any experience with these? The reviews on them are great, but price is always a consideration ($1700-$2000). But the advantages appear tremendous. I've also been thinking about the Bushnell Fusion 1-Mile ARC Binocular Laser Rangefinders. Again, these have great reviews, but price... -
Big Foot In Colorado
Bingo. I seriously doubt Bigfoot exists, but if I ever see one and I'm properly equipped, I'm taking that shot from any angle I can. It'll be known as the "Opoponax Bigfoot" and I'll be friggin' famous forever. I'd write one book after the next and make millions. At some point, when sales got...- Opoponax

As others have said, find a reputable doc to get the assessment done. But then get a second opinion. My dad ended up with a doctor who was doing literally dozens of these surgeries per day. He ended up doing the wrong eye on my dad and it's taken years to get it corrected.- Opoponax

NRA Warns Hunters to Prepare for War
The NRA is a vile organization. A few days after my mom died, I was at her house. My sister and I were packing up her stuff, trying to figure out what to do, and obviously dealing with the grief of the situation. The phone rang and so I answered it. It was an NRA rep. She asked for my mom, who...- Opoponax

Can't make this up!!
Well said. There's also the matter of not knowing the law(s) in play, how those laws apply to the facts, and what past court rulings on similar matters have been and in what courts those rulings were given. That's the thing about reading about lawsuits in the press. You can't tell what's...- Opoponax

What does it mean to "hunt"?
No doubt there are people that really can hit cleanly from jaw-dropping ranges, but is it a norm? No. Is it something to aspire to? Sure, if you're naturally skilled enough, put in the time at the range, do the brain-work for the calculations so that you know them cold, and have the right tools...- Opoponax
