It's already called that.

Well, she is a communist.

They wouldn't dare. With NIL too much money is tied in.

What is so hard about it? She brutally murdered her 3 kids. That is an instant ejection from society. I know a woman who had real postpartum psychosis, voices and the whole bit. She even says that the bitch needs life behind bars. You are what's wrong. Something as simple as a murder shouldn't be this complicated.

I put one of the new Burris Fullfields on a 308 last year. It has better glass than my Leupolds and Nikon Monarchs. It is the 3x12x42 LINK I hunted with it most of the year. It would be my value pick for sure.

I also have a Trijicon Accupoint 2.5x10x56 on my 280. It's my favorite and is built like a tank. I got the 56 more for field of view in the woods than light gathering. LINK

I got my 14 year old 100# daughter a Savage Stevens 334 in 308 last year. I cut an inch and a half off the stock, put a Simms slip on 1" butt pad, and put a timney trigger in it. That damn gun is a tack driver. It loves the Barnes 130 grain ammo. It shoots a legit .5 to.75" groups at 100 yards. The first time she pulled the trigger on it, my daughter said "this one's fun to shoot daddy!" I liked it so much I hunted with her gun all year.

Recoil fear is taught. Kids deserves a gun and ammo that won't fail them when they make a less than perfect shot at the perfect angle. 6.5 CM on down loaded with exploding trash bullets like ELDX don't cut it. That 308 with the 130 grain barnes load is a low recoil death laser. No matter how close the deer is the bullet wont go to shite and not reach vitals in a meaningful manner nor will it fail to exit. Its expanding to a good diameter, cutting more tissue, and making a bigger exit for blood.

I have the H25LR. How much different is the 35R?

Just depends on the tree size. I would get the Goliath if you won't be toting it around a lot.

I dumped climbers for saddle hunting. I lugged a climber around since the 90's, and I am never going back.

We are nowhere near close to carrying capacity in 90% of this state

Believe it or not, I think some people hang their hat on how shitty it is here. If everyone that bought a big game license in Louisiana would kill just 3 deer we would have zero deer left. Yet the limit is 6 and we have 80-90 day gun seasons. It makes zero sense.

400 yards is too far for a 308. Get a 7BC, fast twist 7 mag, or 300 short mag. Don't give in to the recoil fear being put out by influencers. With a suppressor or muzzle break non of what I mentioned will kick at all. They aren't bad at all without a device. Bullet choice is key in all of this. If you run solid copper your impact velocity needs to stay 2000fps and above. You can get away with slower speeds with bonded. With cup and core like ELDX and SST you run the risk of the bullet fragmenting on impact at higher velocities. I once had a Hornady rep tell me not to shoot anything under 150 yards away with SST bullets. I found out why for myself. I had a bullet failure and almost lost a deer. Shot placement doesn't mean shite when your bullet breaks apart before it gets to the good stuff. I switched to Barnes after that and never had another problem.

As for scopes, I am a huge Trijicon fan. They are durable and have great glass. Mavin makes great scopes too. Good old Leupolds are super light, but they don't have the same durability they had in the past. Burris has some really good stuff too. I have the new Fullfield on a 308 I built last year. I hunted with it all of last season. I was highly impressed. Its got way better glass than my older Leupolds and Nikons.
