  1. 7-08 or 243 would be my choice. ‘06 ruining too much meat is stupid but I get it, their rules ((shot placements like EVERYTHING ELSE, being the key) center punch the shoulder with anything listed and let me know how much is not damaged)). The bigger knock on it, imo, would be potentially introducing bad habits into a new shooter - ‘06 takes some shoulder. I have no idea how big your son is, but my narrow ass wasn’t ready for the -06 I used as a child, and it took a lot of shooting to unfuck some of those habits later. Imo, there is still a felt difference between a 500/800/1500 gun, but that’s not to say there aren’t a TON of good options in the lower-middle range now that used to not exist. Get an $800 gun (Tikka/Bergara/etc) and put $750-1000 Leupold VX5 on it and keep for next 40 years. Personally I think you need a 243 (or 3) before a 7-08 but both have killed many, many, many deer. The kids on our lease all shoot 7-08’s, every last one of them. Eta: weight does factor into the cost, but not at that price point. Also, a “good weight” depends on what you’re going to be doing. Strictly mountain hunting elk on long stalks, people will pay huge $$ to save those ounces. A young kid that can hump around a slightly heavier rifle, not as big a consideration. A heavier rifle will generally help you reduce felt recoil, although there’s exceptions both ways.
  2. Had a very tough hunt Saturday. Beat the shit out of doing anything else though, so, no complaints. Pretty sure I drank every beer in Jim Wells county this weekend.
  3. Where all the Gritty gifs?
  4. I am for sure. Had to turn down a Ulvalde hunt that’s typically awesome af. Good luck down there.
  5. lol. Haiti has been shitty a lot longer than dome has been been treating dick like rungs of a ladder.
  6. I was at that game. About 10 rows back on the 49, in a friends seats.
  7. Well, yeah, some countries are shitholes, or half a shithole, as it were for Haitians.
  8. You believe the white people featured in that video, from Springfield Ohio, were born on 3rd? Being from Ohio is much more akin to getting earholed by Nolan in his prime, imo.
  9. Those nice.
  10. I answered it on gun thread, but that’s where I would (and do) look in that price. Some really nice options on guns that were built better, lock up tighter, and are prettier than what’s in that price range today, imo.
  11. I’ve been using O/U’s almost exclusively for the last 20 years. It’s going to get well covered by everyone’s favorite. In that price range you can get any of the B guns, and are sneaking close to some of the upgraded Etchen types. My only advice would be don’t sleep on some that aren’t new. You can score some really nice superposed, Dalys, red labels, from back when that (imo) are better than a lot of what’s new on a shelf today.
  12. Shareholder value allows you to not have to buy shitty Tyson chicken if you choose. Or shop at Krogers. Or any of the other dumb fucking examples from that post. Shareholder value is literally the only hope most Americans have at some type of retirement. But yeah, fuck all that, because someone somewhere is making more money than I think they should be allowed to.
  13. I don’t understand why you waste the top half of your posts with bullshit, only to come with the correct answer at the end?
  14. I love seeing people who know how to fight. Calm as a cucumber. How about I just take the breath from you sir? Ok I’ll let you up. Oh, again? Goodnight.
  15. Haha. Your cuntiness is always good for a pick me up. Get fucked.
  16. Vato is a horn sock.
  17. I don’t subscribe to any political pundits or bloggers. Videos can be manipulated to show less than the whole truth, and they can also be clear as day no matter who’s posting them. Posting something that’s actually bad that happened to align with your view on it isn’t out of bounds
  18. You’re not understanding. Due to who posts it, the context of the video is meaningless. It needs to be posted by someone who aligns politically, or it’s disinformation. Don’t believe your lying eyes.
  19. Not me. I find those jokes hilarious.
  20. That’s the same price point and few pairs cavenders was stocking (in my post above). But been awhile since I’ve stopped in
  21. This is 1000000x more likely than a 2 scoops pardon. Sentencing will get drug out past election, new administration pardons. Everyone forgets 2 days later.
  22. My garage fridge is an older base model type I got for $50 when someone was moving. I really, really want something that looks nicer, but my neighbor has cycled thru several newer fridges in his garage. The fancier looking it is, the shorter it seems to last in that environment.
  23. I’m not a fan of LG but we are on year 11 or 12 without any issues. I’m hoping it lives for a good while longer as we are making a step up to a subZ when this one dies.
