I want to hunt an elephant, but I don't want to do it from a car, I'd rather track the animal myself for a few days, then kill it. There's got to be some challenge to it.
[QUOTE=felix the cat;38539049]On the subject of vaporizing small animals, try shooting a chipmunk with a 20ga. 3in self defense load. OH BOY, fucker literally vaporized in a cloud of red mist[/QUOTE]
Everyone reading this thread that isn't into hunting or against firearms just took a collective dump in their chairs after reading that.
But the thought of a kill like that saddens me. Maybe it's just me, but I kill only to eat (OR if there is a nasty ass hog in my back yard, fuck dem hogs.)

If you really want a challenge, I'd say try for a leopard. They're supposed to be the most difficult out of the Big 5.

If I were to kill an elephant I'd have to eat it. I just can't kill for sport. It isn't right.
I generally hunt for food, although I'm not going to lie and say I don't enjoy killing foxes that encroach on livestock, the hunt is fun.
Can anyone recommend a budget, combination rifle? Ideally I would be able to get an M6 scout rifle, but that's out of my price range.

I dont have a problem with popping things like squirrels and chipmunks, mostly because they massively overpopulate my area and they destroy the fuck out of our log cabin
[editline]21st November 2012[/editline]
They're really just more of a nuisance than anything. Otherwise though, I would never be OK with hunting for sport.

Baikal O/U in .222 Rem and 12ga.
Has the same chance of outlasting our race as a Purdey, but is free when compared price-wise.

That's one heck of a dinner.

why make it more difficult (and potentially dangerous) than it already is? they charge and shit.
just fire a .950 JDJ at the noggin

Went shooting today. Shoulder nice and bruised up from a bunch of 12ga and 54R. Also hurt my hand a bit when I shot both barrels on my shotgun. Kicked more than I thought (was only using 1oz #8, 2 3/4"), and cut my fingers on the trigger guard.
i had a pretty crazy dream last night
a 12 gauge laptop
there was a little sliding compartment on the bottom right side of the laptop that could hold up to 4 12 gauge shells
a pc and home defense weapon all in one
you just hold your laptop up towards the intruder and while they think you're a crazy person you press the fire key and bam no more intruder (and probably no more pc)

If you can deal with a tiny stock, the Savage 42 is a cheaper gun to get. uses even cheaper ammo. 22lr and .410.
Personally, if there's any trophy hunting, it'd be water buffalo. They're common, dangerous, and big as shit.

Well to clarify, chipmunks and red squirrels around here are just overpopulated pests. They do serious damage to my uncle's house and barn, and the only reason I shot it with the 20ga. SD load was because that was the only gun nearby when I saw it
[editline]21st November 2012[/editline]
Other than them and coyotes, I eat everything I shoot

What if you had to kill someone in self defense?
Just cut my thumb open trying to unjam an Makarov magazine.
Fuck.
[QUOTE=bisousbisous;38544408]What if you had to kill someone in self defense?[/QUOTE]
I'd use one of the other 4 rounds in the gun?

I doubt he uses a single shot shotgun for home defense.

That's what you get for questioning the reliability of the Makarov.
Oh I see. Well no, I obviously wouldn't eat a human being
[QUOTE=laserguided;38544565]That's what you get for questioning the reliability of the Makarov.[/QUOTE]
So if you question the reliability of a Makarov, instead of it proving you wrong it proves you right? Doesn't apply to me anyways though, since I own a Makarov myself and fired several magazines through it without any jamming.
Love that pistol, wish I could go shooting more often.
So if you havn't heard Cabela's is doing a huge Black Friday thing in which the first 600 people have the chance to get one of these things.
[quote]First 600 In Line Get Either:
Browning A Bolt Medallion 300 WSM Rifle
30" Masterbuilt Electric Smoker
Pro Staff 7 10x42 Binoculars
Legend 10x42 Binoculars
RealTree Camo Hoodie
Cabelas Gift Card up to $100[/quote]
My question is, is this nation wide or per store? That rifle runs around 900~.
I wish I had a Cabelas near me.
[QUOTE=ethandennis;38539163]So my makarov 9x18 is coming in this week, for my wife. I was wondering if anyone had a good recommendation for a cheaper target pratice round. i have found I couple different types and was just wondering what you guys are using.[/QUOTE]
When I had mine I shot Steel Cased Tula or Norinco

it's probably pretty bad that I'd rather have the smoker than the rifle

Looks good, but I have problems finding it online/in my area(U.S). Any advice?

Yeah the m6 is the dream rifle that I don't consider getting. ATM the only place that I can find it for sale is from them directly at $429.
Can anybody else reccomend a good combination rifle?
