I pulled a mid-80s 90HP Merc with a piece of anchor rope once. I believe that was only a 4 cyl though.
The 135 V6 Optimax may be a different story. I have a set of jumper cables that I have used to jump it from the trolling motor batteries when the starter battery was dead, but if the...
I just looked and they still have Geissele triggers 20% off. Much better price than Midway, Brownells, or CheaperThanDirt.
I picked up the Hi-Speed National Match DMR. I have this same trigger on another AR, and my brother has one too. Pretty much any Geissele 2 stage trigger is the cats-ass.
Blasphemy.
While "better" is certainly subjective, comparing a (good) 1911 to a Glock is like comparing a Cadillac to a Honda Accord. Yeah, they both pretty much do the same thing, but I've never wanted to hump a Honda...
I also use both.
The primary reason I use an electronic at all is placement. Whether they come straight in or circle down-wind, it is advantageous to not have the sound coming from your position.
If you're alone, an electronic can be placed up-wind so that when they circle down-wind, they...
What Petras said. Get a 7.62 suppressor and use it for everything. It's not married to the gun. However, depending on the barrel profile on the Browning, you may have to cut a few inches off in order to get enough 'meat' to cut the proper threads in it. May not be worth doing. Regardless...
Drake
This is Drake, a purebred Chocolate lab
7 years old and still jumps around like a moron when he figures out we're going hunting.
He's great with kids, but he will eat your ass if you're from the Post Office or UPS -- he's undecided on the FedEx guy so far.
Disclaimer: I have never been wolf hunting.
I would think that the 250 is 'enough gun', but not sure the vmax is the right bullet. Hit a shoulder or other large bone and you may lose the animal. A wolf is not just a slightly larger coyote. I would consider it big game, and would go after it...
I shot two deer with Rage 2 blade, and they left massive blood trails and extremely dead deer, but I gave them up because during a stalk, they'd catch on some grass or something and pull one of the blades out. I went to a Stinger 2 blade fixed, and I like those a lot. Dropped a bull elk and...
Cant go wrong with 243 Win.
It may be bullet dynamics, shot placement, etc, etc, but I've seen several yotes run off after a solid hit with a 223.
When hit with a 243 (I like the 87gr V-max), they just go straight down.
Oh heavens, not blood on my dainty little hands...
This "product" is just another nail in the coffin of mankind. Homo Erectus would be very disappointed that his evolution led to this...
I have a DPMS in 243 Win and my brother has a DPMS / JP hybrid in 260 Rem. They are the cats ass. They can get kinda heavy, but if you're man enough and you want a 'kill anything' gun, that is the way to go.
I also have an Adams Arms / Magpul / Spikes Tactical hybrid in 556 that I like a lot...
Agreed. There's been actual studies that prove it, but to make a purely speculative argument based on nothing but my own logic: All a bounty does is entices half-ass "hunters" to go after them by shady methods ie: snowmobiles, etc.
Seeing as though there's currently a lot more opportunity to...
Gotta make sure I get my ground blind down this time. Last time it was hanging on by the one rope I had tied to one of those corkscrew dog stakes. Time before that I found it in the neighbors pasture.
Yep, I got the negative rep with "racist" as the comment too. I would guess it was this "Nature Girl" who appears to have showed up to NDA just in time to be offended by this thread and has contributed nothing else.
Bitch please. I grew up on the Rez. I've seen it all first hand. I have the...
Fair enough. Despite the wording of the title, I don't actually feel that strongly about it, thus the "meh.." option in the poll. :)

No one is telling anyone how to do things. Just opening a conversation about an interesting (and apparently quite divisive) topic.
