Going shopping for a new durr and pig rifle this Saturday. Looking for a Tikka t3x Hunter Stainless in .270 WSM, but keeping my options open. Currently have a Remington 700 synthetic in .270 Win, there's nothing wrong with it but I'm probably going to let my little brother start using it. I don't really care for the long action.

Last year I borrowed a Kimber 84m stainless .308 because I didn't want to bother flying with a rifle. It was a nice gun but the action was stiff and didn't feed very well for a rifle that expensive.

>>34890889
i honestly hope you get caught and charged for poaching.

God damn that's a pretty deer

>>34891093
It's probably sitting fenced in on one acre in some canned hunt ranch in Texas, waiting for a bona-fide "trophy hunter" to pay a couple grand to take his head home.

>>34890773
Won't know until October/November. After I've been watching the cameras for a bit I'll figure out where to position myself and what range the probable shot will be.

Top contenders for rifles this year are my go to 30-06 and my AR.

>>34891079
You'll call me a cheater but I just drive back in my shitbox car and use that as a blind. I don't get a lot of time to hunt, so I try to have the usual arrival times planned out and get back about 30-45 minutes before those times.

Comes in handy when you shoot one in failing light and don't want to spend all night or break out the dogs figuring out which bush it jumped into.

I will either use my PTR if I am hunting in the woods or my rem 700 AAC-SD 308 if I sit on my dad's "farm". It's only 36 acres but the vantage point covers over half which was dense timber but has been logged so now it's sparse timber. I am pretty fortunate to have that available.

Years prior it was so dense it was hard to hunt. Last year there was too much logging activity. This year it is gonna be gud.

I have a hard time getting reliable hunting buddies. Any /k/ommandos wanna go full bush wookie in N Idaho?

But anon! That new show Shooter taught me that .223 is only good for plinking and squirrels. You can't possibly use that to hunt.

what is the best way to find land to hunt on?

>>34891595
Ask around, join a hunting club, look in classifieds. Having friends who hunt makes all of this a lot easier.

>>34891595
ask around. most farmers will let you hunt their land if you're kind enough about it; ie give them some meat or some other gift of sorts. some gun clubs actually are set up to organize hunting on local land.

>>34890773
Kar98k with Privi Partisan 8mm Mauser.

I dig a foxhole near a known deer trail (deer have evolved to look up for danger due to tree stands, but they don't look down) and wait with bayonet affixed. When a deer ambles by, I strike. It saves more meat than a bullet and is cheaper. Plus, it's a more primal hunting experience and nobody knows if you're hunting at night.

>>34891065

Gonna use a CZ527 in 7.62x39 this year. Debating whether to stick a low-magnification scope on there or just stick with irons. I'm pretty good with them and rarely take a shot over 100 yards anyway.

Any recommendations for good soft point x39? I have a box of Remington Green Box PSPs but have no idea how they will perform.

>>34891836

It'll do fine, performance is about the same as any sporting 30-30 ammo. Just shoot to sight in before hunting. You probably already did but the amount if retards either kicking dirt or hitting air from not sighting in is suprising

>>34891595
Go to a farm and offer labor in exchange to hunt. Be professional and respectful. Most of the time that's more than enough. Get something in writing from them if possible. Those communities are usually pretty strong and you might get a neighbor who thinks they are helping the owner by booting trespassers.

I'm hunting white tail this season for my first hunting trip ever. I have a winchester model 70 in .308, and one box of hornady American white tail, one box of federal with nosler partition, and ppu soft point. All 150 grain. They all shoot relatively equivalent, but which of these would work best to take down a deer? Or is there a better round

>>34891946
Surprisingly herters brass cased softpoints preform pretty well. I'd recommend going with a low magnification scope.
Irons tend to go pretty quick for me in the fading light, its also handy for being able to spot obstructions (trees branches) in your way. I missed out on a buck two years ago at 50yrds because I was tracking him while he was at a trot and ended up cutting down a sapling about 20yrds away.

I think Winchester still has a rebate running on their SXP shotguns. I bought a Defender from Buds that came out to $190 after transfer and rebate. Seems like a pretty nice shotgun with a cool rotating bolt action. Mossy 500's can regularly be found for ~$250 shipped.

I have a new .357 Henry Big Boy carbine, i'm going to be chucking 158 JHPs at 1300 FPS. Should be good within 100 yards, which is what Ohio sits at anyway with all the trees.

>>34891527
>scurry 'salt rifle
but annon how do you hunt with that if the durr EXPLODE???

>>34900461
Solid .357 loads out of a carbine go a hell of a lot faster than they do out of a revolver, somewhere around 2000fps.

>>34900645
I figured it would get a lot more zing, the listed 1300 was from a 4" barrel iirc.

>>34890898

I put together a hunting rifle for my dad and used exactly that Tikka. Phenomenal gun.

>>34901093
Yeah, add 40% to those numbers for a 22" carbine with a standard .357 load. IIRC Buffalo Bore makes a hard cast .357 load optimized for carbines that hits even harder than that.

>>34891244

Sounds so fucking appealing.
