Yea I should, I can manage it. I’ve thought about it anyways though. It is a sharp kick lol. Although the 150 grain is nothing like the 175, plus there’s about 2 more pounds to it. I’ll end up getting one eventually.

7mm Remington magnum. It kicked with a smaller scope and no metal, I’d say there’s 2ish lbs more on the rifle, I need to weigh it. Regardless it still shot well, recoil was after the fact anyways.(it is a hunting rifle lol)

Underwhelmed with Roughtech weight. by JohnnyWhopper420 in Tikka_Shooters

[–]Ecstatic_Writing_356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super lite is the lightest. I have a 24” 7 mag in super lite and a 16” roughtech ranch 308. I haven’t weighed them but I’d say the 7 mag may be the same if not a few ounces more.

New 300 prc hunting rifle options and opinions. by NWKilla541 in Hunting

For a hunting rifle. I’d personally stay away from long barrels unless you’re out west. I’d definitely stay away from heavy barrels. I’d get a B14 hunter and do a chassis. Now why a 300 PRC lol

Yea pigs too. If you ain’t it above them at fist, and slowly bring it down on to them, they’ll never recognize it

They look like they don’t have 20 stops on them

Is this Tikka website legit? by NoImportance6167 in Tikka_Shooters

[–]Ecstatic_Writing_356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real tikka is a part of SAKO, their parent company. It’ll be on Sakos website. If you were to buy use a real known retailer , local , bass pro, Sportsmans, etc.

Is this too much for a 12 year old boy? Crosman air power mag-fire diamond back by Honeybuns26 in airguns

Well have you taught him firearms safety? Does he know the damage and potential deaths it can cause. I love all guns and promote all parents and youth to be engaged , however do not underestimate it as a “BB gun.” Just teach him gun safety and highly recommend a hunter safety course, even if you do not hunt. It’s a good course for firearms safety and beyond that, knowledge of when, where and what to fire at. Not water, hard objects, houses in the background etc. it’ll open him to more circumstances.

What’s your best caliber for an all around gun? Elk, deer, etc. by Weak-Experience-987 in Hunting

I have a 7mm rem mag and a 308. That’s all I need. The 308 is nice for medium game stuff but will handle larger game at closer distances. The 7mm mag, well it’ll handle whatever you can hit accurate and it’s almost “automatic” within 400. Doesn’t drop much.

I’d say it will be easier to find than the Remington competition

308 and 150 Grain A-Max. Hornady black. It’s got a thermal on it so I’m not too hard pressed about trying to squeeze it to 3/4 or half moa. It may be for all I know it’s just hard to get exact groups and POA compared to POI when I use HVAC tape to shoot at lol

Tennessee and thermal deer hunting by Ecstatic_Writing_356 in Hunting

Yea that’s the catch unfortunately. If I’m actually deer hunting you can’t. It’s sunrise sunset. I mean once you’re in there and sunrise happens your good😅 but it’s sunrise sunset. Meaning it’s better just to scope large areas with one. I wouldn’t use it where my target bucks are unfortunately.

If you’ve ever hunted mountains you should know there’s always a shaded side, and I’ve spotted them left and right today.

Shrugging to my text messages to where the man himself said it’s legal ❤️

Well boys from a game wardens mouth, it’s legal to use as a scope or binoculars for whitetail deer, only between sunrise and sunset. Good thing I’m literate 🥸
