I'm definitely looking forward to it. You're a lucky man. I'm already pretty ruined in most respects so I'm not too worried about it haha

Looking forward to trying this bad boy out

Bayonet.

Never know when a .50 cent spring or other small part could break and your gun goes down. I always bring a backup if it's at all possible. Cheers 503

Well the only hunting shotgun I had up until about 5 years ago is an 870 I've had forever. Runs great and I've hunted a ton with it. I wanted a semi auto so I got a Franchi affinity 3. I love it, runs great. In the 870 I run a factory full that's rated for steel and that patterns well with...

I like having 2 of each caliber in case one goes down or is in the shop or whatever. A little redundancy is good. And @BeeMaa is right, I usually bring 2 shotguns with me especially waterfowl hunting. Never know when one my die on you. Cheers 503

Layouts. It was a little chilly but they had the birds landing right on top of us. Their spread was well done and we limited out pretty quickly. The crane was delicious too! Cheers 503

If it had to be something I already own then it would be my trusty 30-06. Hemmingway killed a rhino with one, that's good enough for me. If I had to buy something then probably a .416 rigby of some sort. Cheers 503

I'm in IL too. Hang in there bud. Cheers 503

I was being somewhat facetious. I understand taxes are necessary and important to have a functional society. However the government wastes so much money and always wants more for providing less and less and protecting fewer of our rights. Also the fact that you never truly own your property...

Worked out great for him haha.

Taxation is theft.

I've bought a ton of stuff from midway. Always ships fast, never any problems. Plus Larry's gunsmithing videos on YouTube are epic. Cheers 503

I try not to, it discolors the metal and makes it smell funny.

Yes.... of course. That's what this thread is about right?.....

I rub mine on a concrete floor like they do in prison.

Welcome, we need more duck hunters in this group! It's one of my favorites too, Cheers 503

I'm sure they'd be fine for deer, pigs, PG sized animals etc. I'd grab it if the price is right. The main issue is it's not sturdy enough for buffalo sized animals. Smaller non dangerous stuff I'm sure it would.hold together like any other non bonded bullet

As far as I know the bonded is the second iteration of the DGX. Although I'm not sure why hornady wouldn't bond a bullet advertised for use against dangerous game in the first place. Seems a no brainer. Cheers 503

I believe the new and improved DGX are all labeled bonded as the bonding fixed the issue of jacked separation. Cheers 503

As soon as I retire I'm out. Moving to the woods.

I live near St. Louis. It sounds like Baghdad at night. I wish those guys would use cans.

Welcome, this is a great bunch of guys! Cheers 503

Although he's a Ford man, I'm inclined to agree with Mr. Payton. From now on all posts should include a bonus picture of a bear. Perhaps Brickburn or another admin could amend the rules?

Every truck I've had has been a Ram. Have a 2020 bighorn midnight edition currently. Love it. MOPAR or no car baby! Cheers 503

Also check out Blue Collar Outdoors on YouTube. They do tons of pattern testing with turkey/ waterfowl ammo and tons of chokes. Its pretty good info. Cheers 503

Woodleigh makes a 240gr bullet for it. I have some loaded up. They shoot pretty well out of my 700. 200 yards and in it would be a crusher. Cheers 503

I use #4 buck a lot for varmints etc. There's 41 pellets in a 12 gauge 3" shell. It's like a little claymore. Does well out to 50 ish yards on coyote and smaller. Patterns well in a full choke. Probably work great inside a house too. Cheers 503

Check out Bubba Roundtree outdoors on YouTube. He does a ton of buckshot testing. It's pretty good.

Will do, I hear its delicious

Curly. I'll die on that hill.

Hello all, I just got back from a waterfowl hunt in Texas with Prairie Bomb outfitters. They were recommended to me by a member here, Gizmo, and it was an excellent recommendation. We did a three day hunt, and limited out quickly all three days. The majority of birds were geese, but the second...

And I still can't find a decent one......

Welcome aboard Cheers 503

Beemaa is correct. Chokes matter. There's a reason that after they came out in the late 50s fixed Chokes became more or less obsolete. I've had many factory Chokes pattern like shit with good ammo. Put in a quality after market Choke, problem solved. I'm sure fixed Chokes will work, but if...

62flint is right, usage depends on the choke. Briley makes excellent chokes. I use a kicks high flyer full for waterfowl and it patterns great. Jebs, Indian creek, Muller, Rob Robert's etc. All make excellent chokes for any application you want. The most important thing is to pattern it with...

Nice! Some friends and I are in Amarillo now hunting with the Prairie Bomb guys. They're great and we're having a blast. Cheers 503

In my many years in LE and as a firearms instructor the one type of gun that consistently breaks/malfunctions/dies on range days and in training classes are 1911s. These aren't the hand built guns of the old days. There are very few off the shelf 1911s that work or that I would trust for self...

1911s give me anxiety.

If I had to use a 20ga I'd shoot TSS at everything.

I just ordered some Boss online for a crane hunt I'm going on next week. Ammo got delivered in 3 days. They seem like a squared away company. Cheers 503

I had a SX3 shotgun do that. Sent it back and they redid the stock for free. They still will for any browning/winchester guns that get like that.

Get the H&H. It's what men do. Cheers 503

One time I shot an elk at 689 yards with a .242. Cheers 503

I don't trust anyone with that much money who still can't afford a gym membership......
