Gut shot a doe last year and trailed the blood but it got away. I’m sick of this 30-06 I think it’s cursed and has a cheap scope I wanna get something accurate and nice. What kinda rifle should I go get and scope for hunting deer 100-250yds out?Also, I shoot 100 yds to sight in and can keep it in a 2” dia but seems like up in a stand with the cold barrel I’m a bit less accurate I guess. Trying to stay around $400-800 for the rifle and scope
.30-06
>>65641821Bait or retard, call it.
>>65641826Lot of bot threads the past couple hours
>>65641828Still 100x more interesting and relevant to /k/ than all the geopolitics threads that pop up every few minutes
Ruger American Gen II Bolt-Action RifleMaybe this guy https://www.cabelas.com/p/ruger-american-gen-ii-bolt-action-centerfire-rifle-with-ar-style-magwell
>>65641823Yeah mine is kinda ancient and I probably need to pay a guy to clean it and get it all nice, easier to just buy something and keep it nice and minimally used. I’ve always got guns off my pops which worked when I was a kid but since then I bought my own self defense pistol, just never upgraded my own hunting rifle. Miss last year made me rethink using this old shit I’ve had 20 years. >>65641826Notta bot, but don’t come visit you /k/illers too often.
>>65641821What rifle, optic, and optic mounting configuration are you using now?
>>65641834Fucking disgusting
>>65641839Remington 7400 with a 3-9x40 fuckin Tasco dogshit scope. It’s an ole piece of junk really. Used once or twice a year for like 25 years.
>>65641837It’s you. Not the gun. Don’t ever make a thread about yourself here again.
>>65641854It'd be cheaper and more practical just to take it to a gunsmith to be looked over. Could be something as small as the scope being mounted improperly or something.
>>65641845lol suggest something then I like keeping 223 since I also have an AR, but doesn’t feel right just putting a scope on this damn bushmaster I have for deer hunting.
>>65641837>kinda ancientYou really are coming off as an idiotic spazz that thinks if something isn't brand new it must be junk when the reality is you probably are just a bunk shot.
>>65641862Oh God man just stop, I'm going to puke>suggest something I did already
>>65641854>tascoThrow that shit away. Why are you trying to replace your optic and rifle? Buy a red dot and don’t shoot at anything past 75 yards.
>>65641855Maybe so, but I’m gonna get a new gun and hit the range for a while couple times this week to go shoot a couple of does this weekend. I got 3 little kids I don’t really have time to golf or go shooting all the time or any of that shit right now. I gotta get gud enough to bring meat home is all. And actually, after barely hitting that for, I killed two havalenas that came out right after the doe ran off, momma and the baby. So I do understand how to kill animals, just got unlucky and felt like I needed my shirt tail cutoff for hitting a deer then tracking it for a zillion miles only to find nothing.
>>65641873The Japanese ones were good scopes
>>65641869Just another .30-06, what’s a decent one I can go buy at cablas or the gun shop tomorrow? >>65641873I just don’t like the rifle honestly I didn’t pick it, it was just given to me. Yeah I figured the scope was trash, just want to go all new both the rifle and scope so I have something I bought myself and keep it nice.Could be the ammo I guess I’ve got boxes and boxes of this old shit I’m gonna probably toss and buy new as well
>>65641889Do not toss your vintage ammo out.
https://www.cabelas.com/p/savage-arms-axis-xp-bolt-action-rifle-with-scope-101618906Maybe this and get good 30-06 ammo
>>65641905Yeah by toss it, I mean go to the range with my buddy and shoot most of it or just give it to em. I opened that box and the ammo has been kept in an old metal ammo box and is actually perfect looking. But I’ve read old ass ammo can degrade even if kept in good conditions. This is Galveston in a shed in a non air tight ammo box it’s humid as fuck here.
>>65641939>This is Galveston in a shed in a non air tight ammo box it’s humid as fuck here.So bring it in the fucking house.
>>65641941Agreed, I’m saying it was stored in a shed for however long by my pops I just got boxes of this ole shit. Going 30-06 just a new rifle
>>65641854There's probably nothing wrong with your gun though, remington fixed all the kinks out of their semi autos by the time of the 7400. I would just replace the scope and maybe mount instead of buying something you dont need
>>65641960Seconding this anon
>>65641960>>65641969True, I do believe you guys, but I’d rather just get a new gun and sight it in rather than try to squeeze in a cleaning and whatever machining or gunsmith shit this one probably needs. Also I’d rather have bolt action. Ruger American Gen II Predator Fluted Bolt-Action Rifle with Flush-Fit Magazine - .30-06 Sprghttps://www.cabelas.com/p/ruger-american-gen-ii-predator-fluted-bolt-action-rifle-with-flush-fit-magazineI’ve got a bolt action 30-30 but it’s a fucking side mount scope
>>65641979Buy this https://tombstonetactical.com/product/tikka-t3-lite-30-06-22-threaded-synthetic-blued?source=gundeals&utm_source=gun.deals&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=searchlistings&utm_campaign=gundealslistingsThen sell your 7400 to buy a Vortex Viper HD and bases and rings.
>>65641979>but it’s a fucking side mount scopeSo? That's what it was designed for
>>65642001Thanks anon>>65642021The ergonomics aren’t great for me
>>65641854Spend the 4-600 on a new scope and rings you tremendous retard. Then do a lot of cold bore shots to find out your cold bore zero. Very little chance your issue is with your rifle instead of your dogshit scope, technique and zero>>65641979Shut up and do what you're told. You just want a new gun for the sake of having something new. No rifle/scope combo you get for that budget will be better than just cleaning your bore and putting good glass on it properly
>>65641821>30-06>"Not accurate to 100-250 yards out"Anon, the problem is not the cartridge.>hunting deerWhat type of deer? A southern whitetail is a lot smaller than a caribou.>>65641854>Remington 7400 with a 3-9x40 fuckin Tasco dogshit scope.The problem is your scope.>>65641889>I just don’t like the rifle honestly I didn’t pick it, it was just given to me. Yeah I figured the scope was trash, just want to go all new both the rifle and scope so I have something I bought myself and keep it nice.I get you want to gunsoom, but with $800 you'd end up with another working rifle with a shitty scope. Good scopes aren't cheap.
>>65642047Bro you don’t understand, he needs a 7mm RUM and a 30x Simmons scope to shoot deer at 30 yards in Georgia or Alabama or wherever.
>>65642056and he needs to get it all for $800 or less. LOL
>>65642059Since he’s going to buy something new anyway I at least tried to point him in the right direction here >>65642001Will he mount the optic correctly? No, but I did my part. OP is definitely the kind of guy I see at the U.S. Forest Service ranges trying to sight in without earpro.
>>65641979I'm sorry, but if you think you need to send your gun to a gunsmith to be cleaned, or that a gun from the 1980s onwards needs machining for a scope mount, you are too incompetent for firearms ownership
You sound like you're better off staying home with your HD pistol and catching up on netflix
>>65641821>Gut shotYou have problems that a new rifle won't fix>can keep it in a 2” diaYou clearly can't though.
>>65641834JFCa moon behind the moon and NASA knew it all along!
>>65641854Ate the deer moving when you shoot them, by any chance?
>>65641833Facts, the fact that people still give a fuck about Ukraine is insane to me. STFU and talk about actual /k related topics, not some faggot war between white nigger nations.
>>65645286>/k
>>65645308Woah, a retard used a retarded moment from a retarded movie?
>>65645308>Ohmygod a person could never find my faggy little slav war pointless and boring, they must be a VATNIKkill yourself
>>65645286>Why do people care about a major war on the board dedicated to weaponry and war wtf?Why are you here. Do you think this place is still /k/ circa 2012? Are you fucking stupid?
>>65645740Are you? It’s obviously astroturfed bullshit
>>65645755What... What are you even talking about?Again, why are you on the board that has been talking about Ukraine for 4 years straight? Are you dumb?
>>65645789Yeah it's fucking boring. The posts are all the same, nothing fucking happens beyond more grunts getting blown to chunks on camera. Big fucking whoop. What the fuck value is coming from y'all Ukraine brain dipshits obsessing over this crap?
>>65645789Because there's a disproportionate amount of them made, they're usually repeats of another already existing thread (but not a general), they usually concern geopolitics more than the war itself, they're euro circle jerks, they're spastic and alarmist, they're typically twitter thread based, and the preponderance of users who frequent those threads have shat up the board culture completely.No other specific topic has such an asinine number of threads dedicated to it, not even Glock threads.
>>656418215.56. cheaper to feed and gut gud at.
>>65645882It's a shit ass deer round, larper
>>65642047>but with $800 you'd end up with another working rifle with a shitty scope. Good scopes aren't cheap.Second this one. Some good glass is an investment worth making, and you can always slap it on another gun if you're still unsatisfied with the Remington (or, let's be honest, just want a fancy new toy. I'm not one to judge)
>>65645740>on the board dedicated to weaponry and warNTA. The war itself is politics and current events. This board was never about war.>>65645789>Again, why are you on the board that has been talking about Ukraine for 4 years straight?Retards like you have been disproportionately posting stuff in the wrong board for 4 years.
Tikka can be had for the same as a ruger american but is noticeably better. Get one and an athlon talos
>>65645983People have been talking about whatever wars were happening on /k/ since before you were born.
>>65646037>I'm making up shit to justify turning a weapons board into a geopolitics board
>>65646048I have personally been talking about various wars on /k/ for over twenty years.How old are you?
>>65646056Mid 30s, been here casually since 2014. Just go to /pol/
>>65646061So, since the Russian invasion of Crimea. You have never known a /k/ without regular threads about armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia.The balls on this fuckin' newfag, holy shit.
>>65646093Faggot, none of this bullshit "omg there's always been discussions about wars" addresses the argument that none of it is substantive enough to continue shitting up the board with posts that quickly devolve into political discussions instead of tactics, weaponry, etc. "Oh look at this drone footage of the same fucking thing you've seen 10,000 times." Thanks, really got a lot out of that.
>>65642028Ok lol>>65642047WhitetailEnded up trading a ruger super black hawk 44 (a regarded huge pistol) for a Winchester 70 30-06 with a nice leopold scope. I pick it up tomorrow and go run some rounds though it Thursday. I’ll send pics of the deer after this weekend lol. Thanks for all your help /kBuck is 2500 and doe is 250, probably going to go after the biggest two doe I can get to fill my freezer.
>>65645885Everything I've nailed with it has been DRT. Sucks to suck I guess. How about you work on shot placement and git gud.
>>65642413I’m just saying it needs to be disassembled and wire brushed and cleaned, likely some parts need replacement. I ain’t got time for all that shit. I’m not rich or anything but it’s worth it to me to spend $1k or whatever for a fun I’ll use for 10-20 years. The $800 was a guess I didn’t realize decent scopes are $400. Getting a leopold so that’s problem solved.
>>65645882Yeah I’ve got a bushmaster but it’s super stick with the handle/sights and extendo stock it’s kinda goofy for deer hunting.
>>65646313Mine was plain Jane with irons and m193 out to about 200. Kept it to neck and head shots only because it was for the freezer.
>>65646298>WhitetailThose are tiny. You can hunt them with a .243 Winchester (or the more modern 6mm Creedmoor) if you want something really flat shooting. You'd have no problem killing them with a .223 Rem/5.56 NATO (assuming its legal in your state).
>>656418214x32 on a 270>>65641826both
>>65641873there is nothing particularly wrong with tasco and you don't really know what you are talking about. 150 yards is point blank on any centerfire for a deer. I hate bullshit artists and shit hunters and larpers.
>>65641979ok b8
>>65645286>Facts, the fact that people still give a fuck about Ukraine is insane to me. STFU and talk about actual /k related topics, not some faggot war between white nigger nations.Fact biggest ground war of our lifetime for actual freedom, Fucking kill yourselff slimey kremlin cunt before someone like me does.
>>65645720Nah you are just a worthless smelly retartded spastic always were to. A coward and a loser and a dickhead.
>>65646307>muh dont have timeYeah you do. You're just lazy and stupid.
>>65641837>I probably need to pay a guy to clean it and get it all nice,Yeah he trolling
>blaming the rifle for your crappy shooting and unethical hunting practices. Maybe go to the range and get better. Maybe don’t take shots at ranges you’re not accurate at. >it’s cursed and has a cheap scope>Trying to stay around $400-800 for the rifle and scopeThis is bait right? I’m falling for bait, aren’t I?
I've always wanted a 742OP post your deets on /bst/, I'll give you $400 for it
>>65646516>>65646520Fucking hell, ESL much? And nah, I'm just an American who's sick of this board being shat up with pointless fucking threads. Not everyone who disagrees with you is Putin's personal propaganda wing, retard.
