New York Mick Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Anyone here into shooting? If so what are you shooting and at what distance. My newest addition Savage 10 FPC HS Precision 308/6.5 CM, both barrels. I’m putting a leupold vx2 6-18x40. The guy a bought it from had a 8-32x56 sightron on it but I prefer leupold. I’m setting it up for 500 yards with the hope of going out to 1000. For 400 yards (distance of the range) and under I have a Remington 700, 22-250 (for smaller game) unfortunately it’s has a 1:14” twist and a savage hog 11, 338 winmag (for larger game). Both have leupold vx2 4-12x40. Im hoping to get a Nosler 26/28 by the end of this year. @NIGHT STALKER welcome back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of different handguns. Ruger 380 - daily carry SW 9mm SW 40 cal Springfield 45 - Hunting sidearm and target Taurus 454 casull - Hunting wild pigs The guys we shoot with do 3 gun competitions so there’s a pistol area. I’m guessing NC gun laws are similar to Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombdirt Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I have a couple of shotguns and I do a little skeet shooting here and there with friends. I kind of suck, but I enjoy myself. Every time I miss, I half-expect the "Duck Hunt" dog to pop out and laugh at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never shot an 8 mm it must kick like a sob. My 338 winmag is a beast. My 30-30 is iron sights but I only use it for hunting in the swamp at less then 50 yards. You have a Springfield xd/xdm? That’s my favorite pistol. Too big for daily carry but I shoot it more then all my other handguns combined. 400 yards scoped with a bipod isn’t as bad as you’d think. We don’t shoot it off hand.

No need to field dress just get rid of them Mostly hogs but deer during the season. There’s no season for hogs or rules for that matter. They’re an invasive species and do a sh*t ton of damage so they want them killed. I always take all the meat. I’d post a picture of the amount of meat we took home last hunt but I’m guessing a posters on a NE based football site might get offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Only did smooth barrel shotgun shooting with open sights at an indoor range prior to NYS deer season. Usually from 30-75 yds out. Those are my normal opportunities range during the season. I replaced the Remington 1100 stock iron sights with some fiber optic ones. What a difference ! Much easier to pick up especially in low light conditions. Wish I had done it 10 years ago. Hoping to do some real long distance shooting with my friends Barrett this spring and summer.

You’re hitting deer at 75 yards with a smooth barrel and iron sights? Holy sh*t, that’s better then what I’d do. I never go past 50 with iron sights and a smooth barrel. Fiber obtics are great, I’m trying to get them for my 30-30. The marlin 336 sights are god awful. I miss Hunting in the NYS and LI. I’m guessing you’re talking about a 50 cal.

I miss Hunting in the NYS and LI. I’m guessing you’re talking about a 50 cal. I didn't realize you had left NYS old friend. I envy you. My 1100 has always been a tack driver. It's me that has fallen off. Couldn't pick up that front bead and get er aligned fast enough. Was in a 8 year slump/funk . The fiber optics cured that and really got my confidence back. Being over 65 is a beatch. Plus loosing the sight in my right eye and having to learn to shoot left handed didn't help. Luckily the left eye is 20/22 and it was my dominant eye and what I always used for archery. My buds Barrett is in .338 Lapua . "Reach out and touch someone" as he says. Not sure what model it is but I know it's not the 99. I fell in love with the 99 at a NRA Convention in steel town a few years back. Too many benjamins for me to justify. Still going from Buffalo to the Northern Cats each year but that mountain I climb gets steeper every year. Looking to get a milder rifle to use. Something like a Savage in .243 Win. A lot tamer on this old body than an 06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 338 winmag but it’s nothing compared to the Lapua. Don’t envy me the only good hunting in Florida is hogs, deer sucks. Go with a savage 308 with a muzzle break. Great round for big game and targets with a ton of great ammo. You can also change out the barrel to a 6.5 creedmore if you want a little better ballistics.

At least in Florida you don't pay the taxes we do. Remember ? lol Thanks for the advice on the .308 . I know there are a ton of different weight rounds to choose from in .308. I'll look into it. All the best Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
