[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 402840, member: 330"] It may be my mistake to post a repeat: Look into the stainless Marlin with a bull bbl. Pard has one zeroed @100 which will stay in a dime from 5 to 100 with [B][I]all [/I][/B]available loads. He's debating the FMJ for turkey next month for "even less" meat damage. The "exploders" do quite fine breaking backs/necks: He's thinking if he's got one "hung up" past 50; he'll be able to take a body shot but worried about retrieval/wound cavity. I maintain he's overthinking shit and forgotten about the starlings and sparrows dropped with his BB gun. IOHO: A turkey [B][I]headshot [/I][/B]beyond 15yds is a stunt with a single projectile in most cases. In the Hills it's legal to set up a hide and overwatch a pasture with a .30/06 etc. This is awesome. Only TWO toms may be killed per hunter. It's not the method: It's the harvest. Plugged guns were mandated after dbl gunners clutched their pearls about over harvest. I don't watch a lot of hunting shows or hunt waterfowl. My take on both: Pheasant/etc [B][I]can't [/I][/B]be killed with a single round; waterfowl can only be killed in a barrage of flak from multiple gunners. I went far afield per usual. This is an excellent .17 HMR: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1710046774999.png"]65185[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
