    Rifled slug gun recommendation for MA?

    MA allows hunters to use rifled slug guns up to 10 gauge during shotgun season. Can someone please point me in the right direction for which models to look at. What are you top 5 rifled slug guns for northeast whitetails? I'd like to scope the shotgun too if that matters. Cabelas sells a...

    Winchester model 70 - sporter vs featherweight?

    Anyone know what the diffs between these two are? I’m looking for a whitetail rifle, either in .243 or .308, for treestand hunting in the northeast. Which one would be better and why? Also, how is the durability of the sporter. The model 70 has an all weather model (stainless barrel...

    List of rifles with 3 position safeties?

    I really like the Winchester model 70 featherweight but am leaning more towards the all weather version. However, at $1,100, that seems like a stretch..... Are there any other sub $700 rifles that have a 3 position safety (ie you can load the rifle with the safety on). Thanks.

    Love the Tikka T3X, but not a fan at all of the safety mechanism

    I'd like to switch the safety to on while loading and unloading the rifle so there is no way it can fire by accident (I forget the name, is this a 3 position safety?). The Tikka's safety only engages once the rifle is loaded :( 1) Is there a kit that I can use to modify the safety? If so...

    Tikka T3x safety

    Can you only engage the safety while the rifle is loaded and in the firing position? If so how come? Seems like a better system to be able to engage the safety and still load/unload etc, all the time while the safety is permanently engaged???

    Tikka T3x Lite with a muzzle thread

    I know I asked this question a few days ago. Not sure if I missed it or if this is new, but I found a T3x with a muzzle thread in a .308. Some questions about muzzles. I noticed that Tikka shortens the barrel by 2.4 inches to account for a muzzle. 1) What effect does this have on what...

    Will a .243 do more meat damage than a .308?

    If you keep ALL other variables constant (shot placement, same manufacturer, same brand etc), will the .243 do more meat damage because of it's higher velocity? Thanks.

    Is parallax error a big deal while hunting?

    I was looking at getting the Leupold VX-3i, but I dont think this scope has an adjustment for parallax error right? Is this a big deal? Is it even needed in a hunting situation (< 200 yards). Thanks.

    Say compared to a Limbsaver or equivalent? Thanks.

    Mounting scope to rifle?

    When you buy say a vortex scope and I want to connect it to a new tikka t3x, do I need any other components to do this? Or does the scope come with all required accessories? Thanks.

    What does a new Tikka T3x go for when on sale?

    MSRP is ~$800. I previously loved Cabelas because they would discount from time to time and I'd find a great deal. But since the BP merger, I just cant bring myself to shop their anymore. Do you ever see new Tikka T3x's for say ~$400? I would regularly be able to find exceptional deals in...

    Ammo manufacturers, does it matter?

    Im looking on ammoseek for .243 cartridges and dont know names like Fiocchi, Perfecta, Prvi Partizan, TR&Z, Seller & Bellot, Ten Ring etc. How do these manufacturers compare to say Winchester, Federal or Hornady? Does it matter or is ammo ammo. Thanks.

    Are silencers effective for hunting?

    For example, to get that 2nd shot (or are you blown regardless). There are a few other non-critical benefits to using them (i.e. not piss off your neighbors, ear protection etc) But do folks use them where they are legal for hunting?

    What aren’t low recoil cartridges more popular?

    I learned today that Remington has discontinued all their caliber lines except for the 30-30. Hornady makes a couple, but I could only find a single SKU for the .308. What aren’t these low recoil ammo options not selling well? To me they seem like a no-brainer, giving you the option to...

    .243 manufacturers, any recommendations?

    You guys may have seen my other post: I'm a bow guy and I'm looking to purchase my first hunting rifle (never been rifle hunting, only fired a few guns as a kid years back). I'll be using it primarily for deer hunting in the northeast (dense woods, thick brush, vast majority of shots probably...
