  1. Dre,

    We have the Subtroll on our Ontario boat and it works fantastic from 120ft and above. We do not have autopilot so no issues. If you are going to fish the FLX where your probe will be mostly 100 ft and above I would go with the cheaper option with the Subtroll or Depth Raider. You can find them used for around $300 and new at around 450. So that will save you a bunch and you get the same results. I plan to get one for my hemlock boat as well. As a side note Chuck has the X4 and loves it. Both are good choices if you ask me. Its all up to if you want the coated cable or not and can live with a little more blow back.. Good Luck!

  2. W.W.IV that's funny! I thought of that when I posted it as well. If I remember right I was shooting my slug-gun and 300 win mag. that day and wanted to save some targets. If I really wanted to I could have made that group smaller with some more blue tape :D No guff, that was for real and the gun shoots like that all the time. Far better than I can.

    I agree the DEC didn't see the smokeless mls coming either. However I do not see them changing things. In fact, I think they are getting even more liberal with the new rifle laws passing and the new crossbow law. I look at it this way, the best way I can kill a deer quickly and cleanly the better. I do miss hunting with my Dads TC rengade with 2F BP and 385gn Hornady great plains bullets. The smoke after the boom and the smell are implanted from when I was a kid! Good luck to you as well! Stay warm out there!

  3. That Savage is an incredible gun! I am addicted to smokeless muzzy's.

    If you have the cash I would highly reccomend the New Ultra Light Arms Muzzy made by Melvin Forbes in WV. I no longer use a slug gun and went to only a muzzleloader. I get incredible groups with this gun (see attached) I easily get MOA accuracy out to 200 yrds. Honestly this is normal accuracy with this gun. Laker Taker was with me one day when I shot a sub MOA group at 150 yrds off the bench and I am no Audie Murphy. In fact it's the most accurate gun I own. The load I am using is 44 grs of SR 4759 and a 275 gr Parker Ballistic extreme. This load was chronographed right at 2375fps at the muzzle. Killed a doe this year at 190yrds (ranged). It's a great gun to carry, with the scope its right at 7lbs. The nicest part is the cleaning, is just like a rifle. It's costly but I always wanted a custom smokeless muzzy. It's something I can hand down to my kids someday...... at least thats what I told my wife. She didn't buy it though. :beer:
