    Average/preferred whitetail rifle weight for blind/stand hunting

    My smart @ss gunsmith buddy advised me to quit b#tching about a couple extra pounds of rifle and suggested that if I wanted to pack less around I could easily take a few pounds off myself. He wasn't wrong :(

    Average/preferred whitetail rifle weight for blind/stand hunting

    Can't say that I've ever weighed a rifle, but for the type of hunting you describe, weight shouldn't be an issue anyway.

    Rec for Elk Trip for Father

    Get with a good booking agent and do a hunt where you don't need to draw points. They are still available. Spend the bucks to get on a private ranch with a reputable outfitter where you will have good lodging, hot meals, showers and a bed every night. I've done several elk hunts like this and...

    One less pistol on my wish list

    Heard all the hype and I purchased that same gun, nearly identical. It shoots fine, but I'm not too fond of it. The whole gun itself is just too small for me to shoot comfortably. Prefer a larger framed handgun.

    No Country for Old Men

    Unfortunately Llewelyn is an unethical game wasting hunter. No responsible sportsman would pick up a suitcase with a couple million dollars without first tracking down his wounded antelope and getting the meat on ice.
