Hello all, I’m wondering if any of you hunters drive a SUV to hunt in. Just got a new vehicle and the only drawback from my truck is that it doesnt have a bed. Aside from laying down seats and putting a tarp down, anyone have any ingenious redneck ideas or inventions for hauling back your trophies? TIA
Hello, newbie here. Wanted to get into hunting for awhile, and I know pretty much nothing other than I’d have to get a license and pay for tags.
My initial question is: what kinds of restrictions are there for rifles used in southern US deer hunting?
I’m a gun nerd without alot of extra money, part of me has always wanted a Lee Enfield No. 4 strictly for he cool/history factor, and I understand some of them have been rechambered in 7.62 x 51 with scopes.
Would that rifle be viable/overpowered for whitetail hunting? Not allowed due to mag capacity? Idk what rules I may be breaking by trying to use it, but I’m torn between that (my dream rifle) and something more typical like a Tikka T3.
I understand modern rifles are much lighter and user-friendly but I also just want a cool WW2 era rifle, and it’d be great if I could use it practically as well.
Any thoughts and opinions are welcome, idk what I’m trying to get myself into
Pretty pleased with the end result!
Got a 1970 Browning BLR in 243, Belgian made, first year of production. Put it in layaway and it was only in for 8 days. I'm very impatient.
Paid less than 1k so I feel like I got a good deal. I removed the scope since its got irons and this will be used for a woods gun here in the Ozarks.
I did trade in another 243 I had, TC Compass but I feel like this one might be a bit better. The Browning will not chamber my reloads since they were for the bolt action but I've got enough factory ammo and brass I can manage lol
For as old as it is, it's in great condition. I cleaned it the best I could but I'll take it to a gunsmith and have him take it apart and clean it and oil it since these are a PITA to work on.
I'll be loading everything from 55/58 gr vmax up to 85-100 gr.
