what the fuck are you on about. at the range a 223 will skittle a deer, irons is plenty.

Who said anything about a .223

It's in a box in the pic

I honestly got what Gun City recommended which I believe is a Leupold VX1 1-10 I think - I freely admit that I knew sweet FA and went with a recommendation.

I would have loved to get an ACOG - but I don't have a spare $4k....

reticle. nigga. needs to lern you some gun werds au. ut's wots the aiming bit inside vat yu look frew and like it's a cross au.

also. gun shitty are poos at recomendation. i'd've gone a couple gens more with a couple magnifications less. (vxIII, 6x, ie) it's okay, it's still worth money to sell. or put on a .223
also. don't be that guy who spends more time fucking with his scope than pulling the trigger. fucken turret twiddlers. they should be shot.

too much playstation for you young man. acog are not accurate long range units. very, very good for what they are. but not long range snipey. i'd say they max out at 400.. i have one under my seat i'll sell you for only 3k. needs a new illuminator which is apparently free cos of the lifetime warranty thing.

Got a 12g goose gun that's good with pig slugs & buck shot

[T.W.R]

Yeah a Marlin Model 55 3 shot (2 in the mag 1 in the breach) 26" barrel vented & variable choke accepts std & 3" cartridges
Did have two but the 2nd one had the barrel cut down to 18" for using specifically on pigs & using solids

There's the odd one comes for sale every now & then for bugger all coin; A lot got chopped for pigs though
One of the SuperGoose models in 10g would be fun

yeah i haven't seen em for a long while but always hankered after one. how's those vari-chokes go? dont know much about em but would tend to think they foul? otherwise a fkn handy idea. and if they'd go out to cylinder bore i could run me home brew solids >
i'd like one in. 410 or 20ga.

had an old 10ga sbs many moons ago. got a bit punishing to shoot. brass buttplate :

I've used mine chasing rabbits, hares & possums mainly with #4 & #5 shot choke mostly 1/2 to 3/4.....she's got a decent kick one of my mates is scared of it, but at about 20m it'll pick a rabbit up and toss it like a bag of mince. The end is fluted and if you put a solid through it you have to wind it right out to 1/4 choke otherwise it'll break the petals that was why most get cut down either from that happening or purposely cut.
doing hare drives at night is fun....she's a primitive old cannon but the punch & muzzle flash are worth it

winchester double ought. they only 2.75" shells but faaaaaaak they pack a wollop and a good flame too.

which reminds me... i need to load up some dragon's breath and sneak them into me mate's shooting jackets...

[scumdog]

Tell the dead cop that...

And I believe steel shot is not the friend of a vari-choke, is that correct Bill?
