My current favorite toy is a .338 Lapua magnum with Leupold glass. Did my mile shoot back in Febuary with it and shot a 4" group of ten rounds.

Hi

I own a couple of those Khukri's. I bought the first because it just looked cool. After owning it for a few years, I needed to chop up some limbs from a Tree I cut down. It's like having a single handed axe that you can't miss with. They're GREAT tools and they still look cool. I just stand by a stump I use for chopping and cut up limbs like I'm chopping up carrots for salad.

Every boy scout needs an elephant gun, you never know when them suckers are going to get out of the damn zoo!!!

I dunno, taking down one of those land whales might require a heavier calibur than anything I've got. Biggest I've shot is a 50 beowolf and I'd only give it a 20% chance at taking one clean.
Really stupid question but do you use something like that for actually hunting and if so hunt what?(other than land whales)

Yeah..I saw one last weekend at the Walmart...in pink sweats. :eeek:

Hi

I wasted all of my couth for the month of September at Walmart. I was walking in with my 80 year old Mom and we met a good 60 or really gnarly 45 year old woman with her boy friend. Wild gray and red hair, Daisy Dukes, sandals, and a large T-shirt inscribed with the words "Drink until you want me". I wouldn't have gotten up yet and it's late November. I did NOT however take her picture for the People of Walmart Webpage.

Hi

The .50 Beowulf is a round designed for the AR-15 platform. It's legal to hunt with in many states, but you have to limit the number of rounds in the magazine for deer (probably). If I was somewhere where I could hog hunt on a regular basis, the .50 Beowulf would be a good round. I would rather have the .450 Bushmaster because I already had the .45 bullets. .50 Beowulf isn't a .22 Short, but neither is it the .50 Browning. The semi-automatic action absorbs some of the recoil which is helpful.

Thanks for the reply MJS I was actually asking about the .338 Lapua mag sniper rifle,and being from Canada I never even considered boar hunting as it's probably not as popular here.Just was thinking if you can pick something off from over a half mile away?I understand big caliber rifles as I own a .300 Winnie mag, strictly for moose or buffalo if I ever get a draw,but don't think I'd start shooting at anything over 200 yrds even if I can hit it.

My .338 Lapua mag is strictly a long range target gun. I do occational competitive shooting and it's my weapon of choice due to it's amazing accuracy. Yes, it could be used for hunting as I do go for elk, but that would involve me swapping the glass on it...and I don't want to.
