Anyone here hunt or are gun hobbyists?
« on: November 18, 2007, 02:51:48 pm »
I'd like to get a decent rifle for hunting.  I've never been but would like to go out sometime.  Friends have recommended a .30 06 because it works to hunt pretty much anything.
Any helpful thoughts or suggestions?


Also looking for a .45 pistol (I'm thinking 1911, like the way it handles) and getting my CCW.

I don't like hunting. It's only for sport these days anyways.  ::)

Hunting is a sport...but it's a tasty sport!

Unless you're out for coyotes or something, then you just shoot 'em cause you get money to.

I've only been a few times, but a 7mm rifle seemed to be good for antelope, deer, elk, and moose. For those pesky grouse and pheasants, I had a 20 gauge. Jesus, my 20 gauge kicked harder than any gun I've ever shot. My dad's 12 gauge kicked less than it!
errr... something like that...

I own a
30.6
.308
12 Gage
20 Gage
.357 Pistol
.22 Pistol
and a few other misc guns, and personally hunting, I completely love my .308 lever action, it's probably the best hunting rifle I've ever used, Both can be used from squirrels to bear.

What makes?

I hear remington .30 06.
For the .45, I liked the Colt 1911, not so much the S&W

Find out if your senator can help you go hunting w/ Cheney.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

For the love of God, I hope that NEVER happens.

Amen!

Yeah, a large knife or brass knuckles make you look way cooler.

Just because I have it doesn't mean I will use it.

Also, I don't need a CCW to carry openly in NM.  I can go nearly anywhere wearing it openly.

.30 06 is pretty decent for hunting. I shot one 'till my arm failed to work anymore, which isn't too long.

Also, pick up an AR-15. Not for hunting, just for.. having the best gun ever made.

The word "hunting" reminds me of Dick Cheney.
