what caliber would have recoil/power to a .303

I apologize for my rude post! No, I do not hunt in the twilight hours, we have long daylight hours up here. For my purposes both irons and scopes work equally well.

I absolutely agree with Supercub on this one. I love shooting open sights at the big gongs at 300 yards, just to get better. But, even with a benchrest, it is a miserable time to shoot the 8" ones at 300 yards. With my scope, same round, same gong, same range....I can nail it every time. That my friend will be the difference between a quick and humane kill and dinner on my plate in the winter to a wounding or worse.

To the rest of the post Wow, talk about the ramparts going up and the lines of battle being drawn. Lets go out the range. I'll bring my two 30-06's, two 308's, a 243, my 257 Weatherby and my 8mm mauser. You bring your .303 and we'll have fun.

In the end, I betcha you will like my Weatherby bush gun in 308, if you like your 303.

Like the guns but hate the prices. lol

I have purchased two Vanguards in the past year for less than $500 each.

How are the Vanguards any way. Are they like comparing a remington wingmaster to a remington express. Or is it like Sako and Tikka both quality guns.

I love the Vanguards. Especially the stainless ones. Even the blued ones have fit and finsih far superior to other firearms in their price bracket.

The stock is obviously much higher quality than some other brands too.

The new S2 looks incredible too!
