    Why all the 6.5 Creedmoor Hate?

    Most of the “in real life” hate I’ve seen for the 6.5 CM has come from three places: People trying to shoot game well past its intended range as a hunting round. People using the wrong choice of bullet for hunting. People that use the “power” of a cartridge as a substitute for marksmanship...

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    Walk into any Omega store, walk out with the watch that you want. No time for Rolex’s games.

    What’s your spookiest hunting experience?

    Several years ago my then-four year old was bothering me about taking her hunting so I took her with me to a ground blind I had set up not far from my house. As little girls are apt to do, she talked and wiggled the whole time so I knew the hunt was a bust and wasn’t upset when she said she was...

    45-70 for dangerous game?

    I still have yet to see anyone intelligently argue against this point.

    What’s the best watch to wear on safari?

    I love my Seiko but a safari seems like the exact thing that a G-Shock was built for. If I’m ever lucky enough to hunt Africa, it’ll be a G-Shock on my wrist.

    Any .350 Rem Mag Fans?

    Unless you’re doing it to get some field work in before a dangerous game hunt, your favorite deer rifle should be fine for NC black bear. Take the ‘06.

    NRA wayne La pierre

    Gents, the NRA is for certain the big dog when it comes to the pro-2A groups. You’ll find no argument from me there.

    .270 vs .280

    The .280 will generally allow for you to shoot heavier bullets, if that’s your kind of thing (and it is for most here). It’s probably the most efficient of the children of the ‘06 but the differences between it and a .270 are small. The .270 is going to be easier to get ammo for in a pinch...

    Buy a rifle or sell the ammo??

    I don’t even have to read the thread. Buy the gun.

    Black Bear outfits here in the States...

    Never been myself, but I know lots of people that rave about the aforementioned Conman’s and have talked with him a time or two on the NC hunting forums. Good dude.
