[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1920823, member: 31749"] I feel like 99.9% of these threads are really just to settle bar bets or bench racing conversations. The "basically no budget" and "inside of xxx yds" line is always the dead giveaway. I can count on one hand (and I dont even need all of my fingers to do it) the number of people I have met or shot with who have even attempted to shoot game outside of 300yds, even on a "Long Range" hunting forum. Unless we are talking dangerous game, you dont need a magnum to do that, and you dont even really need a long action cartridge either. This guy's "friend" would probably be ok with a 7mm-08. Like you though, I always get a kick out of these threads. Someone got into a p**sing match with one of their hunting buddies and wants to get their post count up in the process. [/QUOTE]
