  1. Chowder,

    Maybe you misunderstood my post. I am looking at a purchasing a new rifle and was asking opinions on cal size. I have been shooting for over 35 years and also an avid bow hunter, I would consider myself a competent and ethical shooter ,I hope you can place 100yd shots off hand if you are a hunter.

    Your post is implieing that I am a new shooter and need range time, "Consistently being able to make 100+ yd shots comes w/ range time not an expensive rifle" At the risk of sounding like a s-head I would encourage you to consider getting an economically priced 270 like a Savage/Stevens bolt action with a decent 3x 9x scope ($150 range) and then put the rest of your hard earned $ into several boxes of reasonably priced 130 grain bullets and spend some some range time before and during the season.

    I did not even mention price of gun, but now that you ask I am seeking a high quality wood stock that I can someday hand down to my son as my father did to me.

    I will take you statement about the 270 in to consideration.

    Thanks

  2. Ray,

    Very nice story and congrats on being a fine sportsman and doing the right thing. I am sure the Boy will remember all of that also and hopefully you started him out to be a true young sportsman, and some day he will do the right thing also.

    Thanks Greg

  3. What is good fuel mileage ?

    24ft Thompson Hardtop

    merc 305 i/o

    combination of running and trolling 95 miles burned 1/2 tank of fuel. 30 gallons.

    good or bad

    would a kicker make that much difference?.

    Thanks
