Is it wrong to let someone else get first blood with a rifle?

Hate to say it but don't do it. That puny Ruger round will be lucky to stick in and if it gets away it's all bad. Seriously, first blood with the new baby should be yours.
 
Go for it.

Whats the alternative?

Sitting at home watching videos of a still living bear while yu masturbate with an unfired rifle in your hand.:jerkit:

To be part of a hunt is still better then not hunting at all,YES?????????

I am somewhat concerned that we are undergunned, and the bullet could bounce off the bear...:eek:
 
I'm all for helping friends out, but, would you let your buddy lay the first patch of rubber and cook the tires off your new car- no, would you give your best friend your new quad to go mud up in the woods- no, would you get your buddy to take your wife upstairs on your wedding night- well maybe, depending on the bridesmaids, however .. the only important thing is, will your friend be familiarized enough with the rifle to shoot well with it? If you've already put a bunch of rounds down range the go for it, but my self, I would hesitate to hunt with someone else's rifle if I hadn't shot it previously.

No, but
a) I wouldn't lay rubber and cook off tires anyway, because it's a silly thing to do
b) I drive a truck.

Sure, if he didn't damage it. It's just a machine...

Wait a minute.....
Are we talking about a black bear or a polar bear that has been rolling around in the mud? Because the last time I checked you bought a 375 Ruger ALASKAN which means something bigger and meaner than you are. Now a moose would be acceptable, or even a grizzly. But this rifle is simply not meant to shoot measly little black bears.

Now there is a way to get around this but it's rather difficult. Now the easy part is buying the 15-40X50mm scope. The difficult part will be getting it to look proper on the rifle. Next you'll want to set it to 40X Now make sure you are within 50 yards of the bear (adjust parallax as needed). Now you will truly feel like you are shooting at a beast that is worthy of this rifle! :D

Just make sure you don't take photos of the kill after. You have to maintain the illusion after all. ;)

There is a good sized bear that my buddy keeps seeing near his place. I've seen it on video and I htink I'd shoot it...

Anyway, he just bought his first bear tag, hunted for years, but never bears.

I'm really interested to see what happens when Mr Bear meets Mr 375 Ruger, so I am offering it to him to use on Mr Bear.

Is it wrong for someone else to get first blood wiht your new rifle? Will it jinx the rifle i any way? Will it give the rifle good karma?

Deep thoughts here....

Notwithstanding the naysayers, I think those are good questions.

I think you should sight in the rifle, with YOUR handloads, so you KNOW it can shoot. Your buddy should be present to witness this. Then HE should shoot the rifle, with your handloads, with YOU present. Now you both agree that the rifle and the ammo are just fine, and any subsequent FUBAR on his part should not strain your friendship.

Now here is the part that I think you MUST do to invoke good karma for the gun:

On a night of a full moon, with the hunting ammo in your LEFT hand pocket, find a well-rotted stump full of rainwater. Rinse your testicles in the stump-water, three times, and rub the ammo against your left testicle each time, taking great care not to allow the cartridges to touch your right testicle. Then dry yourself and the ammo, put the ammo in your RIGHT hand pocket, while backing away from the stump. Now place a large paper bag over your head and walk around the stump six times six, all the while clucking like a chicken.

Your gun's karma will remain intact no matter what.

Doug

PS) I'm serious!

This really does work...I saw it on the Discovery Channel. :)
 
#### buddy, give her. if its a good buddy, who cares?

3 rifles I've owned over the years had blood on em from buddies before I got a chance to do the same...
I had a 7mm rem mag Ruger #1 that my buddy lazered a coyote at about 340 yards with in deer season,
My buddy shot deer with my old 356 before i got a chance to , and about 3 weeks ago, buddy #1 used my browning varmint stalker to shoot a few dirtpigs before i used it on the field. Even his 5 year old son got to try his luck at one.

Its a good point of discussion after.
