Hey, maybe we could get elephants put on the varmint list, or rhino or maybe bison. Oh well, someone has to keep the gunsmiths from going broke eh? Very entertaining thread especially since I just dropped off my miniature 30-06 for a fitting and tuning. I guess its not a manly rifle any more and I should sell it and move up. Sigh. No make that a heavy sigh.

Like I said I really wish I had a pic. Hmmmm Bigredd. "please do not feed the troll". What means this??? Don't recall ever saying it was made for long range, just relaying what I saw and handled. And yes it had a tac 10x32x50 scope on it.
You know I've been herefor almost three years and have a prety low post count, mainly because of work and when I'm home I'm out shooting. BS snide remarks about being a Troll have pretty much done it in for me making any more posts. So long Gunnutz.

Fine.
He's on ignore anyway
Curious as to why he feels the need to goad people in their posts.
This post was just info on a rifle, all of a sudden he's a troll??????
WTF?
Maybe an old boy's club?
Do you have to have a minimum amount of posts to be able to get away with this childlike behaviour?
Lame.

Excuse me.... no instigating... or trolling on my part.
Just stating the obvious... the smileys are put on the forum for us to use... welcome to the internet... sorry about your luck. Lots of others had worse things to say about this topic. Feel free to discuss the merits of a .458 tactical rifle on the hunting forum.
Pickles you are the only one that I can see breaking the rules at this point.
That said... Glockster, nothin personal but this is the internet bud.... lighten up. A smiley ain't the end of the world.
Sorry Maddog... I was typing while you sere posting... my apologies... I am done here.

Actually no, Redd was cautioned last week and if he had broken a rule in this thread he'd be taking a 2 week break from CGN right now but then you got all defensive and called him an ####### which meant both of you broke the rules.
That'd look pretty bad on my part, giving someone a suspension when someone else is breaking the rules, kinda two faced in my book.
Not defensive at all.
Just bad taste to play the rules and get away ith this behaviour by "hiding" behind the rules
Technically, I could say........
Hey BIGREDD, my co-worker was looking over my shoulder and saw your pic and commented you looked like Dee Snider with down's syndrome.
Not a personal attack then I didn't say it.....honest!!!
Maybe if I add more smilys then nobody gets offended.

I like the .458 Lott cartridge "a lot" and it would quite easily bag any game animal in North America at short to medium ranges, but it really is intended as a relatively short range dangerous game rifle that absolutely shines on the Dark Continent.
This guy must have more money than sense...reminds of an incident a few years back. Had a guy that is probably related to the customer above drop off his brand new .416 Remington to my gunsmith friend to have a scope mounted and the rifle sighted in; which it was (I got to help!) The rifle was dead on, sighted in 2" high at 100 yards as per the customers request.
A week later the same guy comes back, complaining that the rifle wasn't properly sighted in and it wasn't even printing on paper! Of course, my buddie's first thought was that there was a problem with the rings or perhaps even the scope. However, everything checked out fine, and the customer was so informed.
He insisted that it be properly zeroed once again. (this was starting to get expensive with the price of factory .416 Remington ammo!) but what the hey, it was his dime?
Got the owner to make a trip to the range with us and had him demonstrate his shooting "technique." He seemed to know what he was doing. Settled into a decent position, controlled his breathing and settled himself into a decent cheekweld. One shot later we knew what the problem was!
Our suggestion was for him to try shooting with his eyes OPEN next time!
It turns out he had purchased the .416 Remington as a "Moose" rifle, since his "old" .338 Winchester Magnum had proven so ineffective during the previous hunting season!
Despite our best efforts, the gentleman wouldn't even consider our suggestion that he look into purchasing something a little more manageable for him, such as the .308 Win or 7mm-08; which would work just fine on Moose. I don't know what became of him, but I do know that the Canadian Moose population need not fear!
Hehe, thats priceless Sean.
BTW, how was Jason's shoulder after all that "sighting in"?
