Any rifle owners or hunters here?

Hmmm...Remington 700: Always a good decision.

I personally own:
1-Yugoslavian SKS...by far my best and favorite.
2-Yugo. K98...It's actually a different designation, but the name escapes me.
3-New England Arms Pardoner 12g shotgun, for home defense.
4-Hi-point 9mm carbine. A fine home-defense gun, if I do say so.
5-A Black powder/20g Shotgun interchangable Rossi. It's...not the greatest. Then again, muzzleloaders are a b!tch to clean.
6-Mosin/Nagant M44. Just a damn reliable weapon. It'll shoot and shoot and shoot....not awfully accurate, but not so inaccurate that it detracts from it (wear earplugs, though!)
7-Romanian .22 training rifle...my first gun. Still use it to shoot wild tomcats....God knows that the last thing we need in our neighborhood is more cats...

I'm working on assembling an AR-15 as a summer project...

I own a lot shotguns and two rifles. My father loved to hunt and inherited all shotguns from his relatives -whose sons or daughters didn't like to hunt- so I inherited them all myself I used to hunt with him years ago, but due to not following his hint -learn shotgun first, rifle later- I became proficient only with rifle, and am quite bad with the shotgun

My .22 rifle is good for hunting rabbits and I even managed to kill a savage dog with it some years ago (My master shot of all times: Straight between the eyes from 150 metres and standing up will never be able to repeat that ).

My 30 06 (7.62 mm) has seen way less use, since it is too powerful to shoot at anything else but deers and such, which I don't like to hunt.

If you are planning to have a polivalent weapon, get something with low caliber

:rotfl:

I once lived in a converted shop behind a house. One of the guys who lived in the house saw my .30-06 and asked "If you get a burglar, are you going to shoot him with that?" I said "No, that's what the pistol's for. If I shot him with this, it could go through him, through the wall, through your wall, through you, out the other wall and maybe kill someone across the street!"

A bit of an exageration, but not worth finding out how close to the truth it might be.
