Browning BPS and Ithaca 37 are both bottom eject so can be used either side. Benelli Super black eagle 2 or the newer 3 are made for left hand but there have been some point of impact issues with the 3, so I would look for a SBE 2 if going that route.
But if I were going to buy a dedicated...
I recently got rid of a tacoma with 175K, was going to need about $1500 put into it for the usual stuff that wears out. I wanted to go back to a full size truck and would have bought a Tundra in a second but for the MPG. Got a decent deal on an end-of-the-yr Silverado so I went that route. With...
Yeah, I don't understand it either, a friend will take his truck hunting, but only if the roads are good with no chance of scratches or dents. So no even semi-serious off roading that a prius could negociate. Then it gets cleaned immediately, at camp, not when he gets home. And if the outside...
I concede that today's bullet technology makes the old standbys more effective, it's just that old ideas die hard, and I'm closing in fast (if not already there) on what I would consider old.
My 340 wby would fit the bill for me. Over gunned sometimes (if there is such a thing, I'm skeptical) in the scenario presented, just right for others.
OH wait a minute, after that trip to the outdoor showw I think I figured it out! Here's the math
Win 300,000 on a lottery scratch off
-$120,000 Gov taxes
-$75,000 New truck with dealer discount taxes etc
-$2500 Leer truck bed cap for truck (must have)
-$30,000 Brown bear hunt in Alaska...
Well I did see a truck I liked down at the NRA outdoor show today, a 3/4 ton Chevy......only $71K. Guess I'll work on putting another 160K miles on the tacoma.
As kind of another question to the cross country thread below. Do you trust your higher mileage vehicles
(say over 100,000 or so) to make longer trips? Longer meaning more than a couple hundred miles from home.
Have a well maintained '12 tacoma, has about 160K, but not sure about a trip out...
If you want to go, what they said, NF. You could be collecting social security (if it's still around) before you draw in Maine. Been trying for about 15 yrs. NADA. Just a FYI I'm social security eligible quite soon........but still working!
Really like Maine been deer and bear hunting up there many times. Saw Moose on several trips. Maybe this year I'll get lucky and draw. What a great adventure and memory for you, and a few good meals.
