.308 'nuff said. Bye.

/!\ATTENTION/!\ I have enough Expert Advice!:) I will not be reading this forum anymore. Thanks to everyone!

Yeah, that's true.:) Joe Hunter instead of John Hunter!XD I like that.

I don't see the point in having that much fps, either.

Hi, not much time on my hands, gotta rush. Here is a YouTube video of a Jumbo being killed with a .458 Lott! Enjoy!

Thanks!:) Most kids grow up in cities and when they see a picture of a fine Wildebeest or Eland, they think it's some sort of alien creature because they haven't seen it in the local Zoo and have no interest about going outdoors. I think that having dreams about going to Africa is educational in...

Well, you shoot what you shoot, and I shoot what I shoot.:)

Yeah, you know hunters+fisherman. On Bass Pro Shops' doors it reads 'Welcome hunters, fishers, and other liars'.:D

Ahhhh, I see.

Oh, idk I think that's what I heard and misinterpreted it, could be wrong, though.:)

Yeah! That's hilarious!!=) Good joke! By the way, messmate, I do see the humor!:D

Interesting, I didn't know the locals used .308s! Thanks! I think I will need prayers to get over there, though!:D

Good, very good. Did you misss the Lechwe? Or didn't you buy a tag?

I know, I was just saying that's what I shoot.:) I was looking at Barnes bullets.:)

Ha!! This has rofl written all over it!!:) I used to do the same thing myself.

Cool, for N.A. game, I have Remmy Core-Lokts.:)

Lol, that was dangerous!

Ha! Excellent!:D 5/5!!!

Thanks! I know the vitals or closer to the head/neck are on African game. I don't know why. I almost purchased an '08 but liked the Remmy Mod 6 better. Congrats on those animals!

I just joined the Ruger Forums because Trigger Creep is on there. Yes, we do talk about weapons, lots of weapons to be excact. It is useful for reviews on any weapon-Ruger or not, I own a Remington Model Six.:) I like banging my head against a wall-so do my friends! :banghead: :banghead...

Oh, I still like the .308 for less recoil, too much recoil has an effect on the average human being, I like to avoid it as much as possible.:)

You are a truly lucky man, a beautiful trophy Gemsbuck! Bravo!

Oh, yeah, I see what you mean. But you could knock an Anty down with a .22-it's all about shot placement, that's how Fred Bear took an Elephant down with a Longbow. I prefer accuracy over power.:)

I wouldn't trust one-even if it IS a new model. My Remington Model Six in .308 WInchester has never failed, unlike the 700 or 770. Please read reviews online and you will see.

Please tell me, I am dreaming to know-WHAT does this have to do with the other Forum? :banghead: Do you have the old or new model? Answer me that.

Remington 700? They are something to be avoided! I've heard numerous accouts from the Military that you touch the bolt, it goes off every 15 or less shots, the bolt also breaks off. There was once a TV Special on The History Channel telling how the Remington 700 has killed so many people by...

Thanks for feedback! Now I just need a Rhino Caliber!!:D

Cool! Everybody praises the .30-06 Cartridge over the .308 Win., if the .30-06 is such a 'much better round' and the .308 is just a 'necked-down .30-06', why is the .308 the #1 Caliber used by S.E.A.L. Team 6 and U.S. Marine Snipers and not the .30-06? Do you think the pros would use the lesser...

Ahhh, good! I'm glad to hear I've purchased a good rifle!

Thanks!:D

Yeah, I just saw, post deleted.:) Thanks!!

By the way, just because a 14 year-old doesn't shoot your caliber of choice, he's 'necked down'? Okay, I'm 'necked down' then too, because I shoot a .308 Win., right?

Oh, I thought you meant gore, gore, more gore.:)

Boy, where'd you get your 'humble' opinion? A cereal box? I think you've been out in the sun too long...

Yeah, that's who I talked to-I think. Well you said to skip him for a little while, so I thought you meant it was violent, I've never read any of his books, I've just heard of him.:)

Thank you, Nyati! I'm not really a newcomer, I've just vanished from the forums since '09.:) I am looking to go to Africa but you know, you never lose the dream but somehow you always lose the cash!:D

Hmmm... so I gues Hemingway has a lot of gore? I'll have to look for African Hunter on Amazon or such. Thank you!:) I met a guy-not sure if it was Phil or what-all I know is it was a guy.:)

Welcome to AH! Enjoy the place!:)

What are your thoughts on using my .308 for Kudu, Impala, Hartebeest, Wildebeest, Lechwe, and the like?

Though I prefer the .308, the .270 is fine for Antelope.

I read Capstick's 'Death in the Long Grass' 'Death in Silent Places' and other 'Deaths'.:) I've read John Andrew Hunter's 'Hunter' and John Henry Patterson's 'The Maneaters of Tsavo', I've only heard of Ernest Hemingway.:) Yes, my nephew said that there are like wars in Zim and people are...

Lol, cool!

Thank you!!:) :)

Trigger Creep was born from my oldest Brother-I was born from my parents-he was born in '97-I was born in '99-he's slightly older than me-I'm not yanking anybody's chain:)

Hi, I shoot a Remington Model Six chambered in .308 Winchester.:) As I've mentioned earlier, for now I'm lookng on Antelope and will hopefully advance to the Big 5. The chances are I'm probably not taking anyone with me because I'm waiting a little longer before I go, once I'm about 16, I should...

Yes, I am! Thank you alot!:)

Thanks.:)

Yes, he's my Nephew, just a bit older than me, and yeah, he said there are some bushgangs that shoot Whites and Christians.

Oh, well my bad for posting in the wrong category... even though it is about hunting in Africa!

Lol, why is there a wierd post at the top? I really don't get it... is this some joke?
