Liberty or death Jr.

I like all three!

Not just the collapsible, the standard pistol grip too. I agree with you, F politicians.

The camo on my charles daily has held up for 3 years now, that gun has seen some abuse, its got a bit of rust, jams every now and then due to inferior parts, but the film on it hasn't faded, its really durable, doesn't come off easily, if they put the same stuff on the benellis then I'd be happy with that. Thanks for the info Darby, if I can get some trigger work done on an SBE II, I'm going with that, I've been on a few forums and I don't like what I'm hearing about the Xtrema 2.

Cool, thanks.

Nice photoshop. And you're a lefty.

Yeah but crashing brush for most of the hunt, I would worry about that.

Oh, alright. Thanks

I think I'm gonna do this with the next gun I get, not to happy with the film, its good for a couple seasons, and I don't like the matte black. Sdk, how many heavy 3" and 3-1/2" rounds have you put through your X2?

Black tailed prairie dogs is what the field guide says. I'll look into that tuck, my 243 has a 3x9 leupold on it. I might have to get one of those. I shoot federal SP 100 grains which, from what I saw this fall on deer, is flat shooting to 300 yards. I shot at a deer that was roughly 300 yards, my dad paced it after the shot and he is really good at that. The federal ballistics chart said it dropped 12 inches if zeroed at 100 yards, which is what my gun is sighted for. I aimed level with his back, and squeezed the trigger, he jumped a bit, so I thought I might of shot under him, I shot three more times over him and he ran off. We saw him the next day and I shot him at about 180 yards, dropped on the spot. I found he had a spot on his back that was skinned from the bullet last night, it was from the one that I aimed level with his back, that is the only one that caused him to jump. Then my brother shot a doe at about 450 yards, aimed about 3 feet over her and dropped her, federal says that round drops about 46 inches at 500 yards if sighted at 200 yards, so far the ballistics have been wrong both times. Thats why I need to test them instead of listen to ballistics. If I got into reloading after I got a dial for the federal SP 100 grains, how would that work?

No misfire issues? If it happens with turkey, why wouldn't it with pheasant? Maybe the fact that you keep moving fixes itself or something.....

Sweet, my dad has a 22-250 also, great PD and Coyote gun. I want to get one of those dials for my 243 and I want to get a 204 and put a dial on that too. And evetually a 7 mm. Do those dials come with the scope or could I buy them separatly for my 3x9? Do you reload? Thats something I want to get into, especially for pistol plicking, you can go through boxes quick.

Okay, now thats cool!

Sweet setup! What caliber? My NEF has a bull barrel, its really accurate. If you don't have any wind, then those shots are all about knowing the drop on your gun. The one I got at 200 yards had a little wind, I aimed about 2 inches above and 2 inches to the left of her head, dropped right into her.

No one else uses the SBE II on pheasant drives?

Nice research Tuck. I wouldn't think anyone would actually look for it. I shoot them with a 17 HMR New England firearms with a 3x9 scope and a bipod. It works great even to 250 yards, as long as it isn't windy and you know the drop. That big female was shot at about 200 yards.

Well when you shoot hundreds of thousands of rounds, you tend to figure out what your gun can do. And he figured out how to hold it right so the inertia would work, and his guns are pretty well broken in. And he shoots an M1, which is made for 2-3/4" and 3" rounds, the SBE 2 is not for that. Its for geese ducks and turkey.

Tucker, where did you find that dummy? That is the kind I was looking for, couldn't find who sells them though. I'd like a couple dokkens for multiple retrieves.

Figured I would share that with you guys. Don't ask about the paper.

Last one. Here is why I was gone more then an hour.

I think this should do it for you. And another if you need it.

I'll be home in about an hour, I'll get that for you then.

Nice birds Mud. So would that make them hybrids? How do you tell the difference?

About the roosting spot tuck, I shot geese off of the same 3 spots on our property all season. The spot I used the most had the most geese, they always came back, and it was a good roosting spot. But I'm hunting private land, so I guess public is different?

I'll have to try that out. Do you have any pictures of patterns at different distances? I'd like to see how that does. I'm probably gonna get a 660 anyway for the remington 4x5x7, so far a lot of people like the combo.
