What all "toys" do you have?
Your name UBETRUN is apt considering your collection [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
You have rifles fairly suited to Rocky Mountain elk hunting where you gotta reach across canyons sometimes.........what do you do with them in Virginia, long range target matches? Or just making sure deer go dead and stay dead?? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Elk hunting with the big boom sticks, small game hunting and plinking with everything else. Killed a 5x5 bull in Idaho a few years ago at an honest 400 yards (laser rangefinder). When the bullet hit, it sounded like a sack of cement dropped from a 20 story building, WHOOOMP!. The 300 Rem Ultra Mag will put 5 180gr pills into .7" at 3450fps, it's a shooting SOB. Over the years I've competed in rifle and pistol matches but never seriously, just to learn/develop good skills and keep them from getting dull.
It's funny that you mention shooting VA deer with the thumpers, most of our eastern VA deer only weigh about 125 lbs. I made the mistake of shooting one in the chest with the 300 Wby at 50 yards from a treestand. Before it knew it was dead, it ran 30 yards with its insides on the outside.

Too many to list but I'm hunting deer with a Kimber 84M Montana in .308 this year. Wonderful rifle. Still in the process of trying out glass on it. My big objective scopes are just too heavy for it and wreck the feel of the rifle. I'm having a really hard time finding suitable glass for it. Anyone knows a good lightweight illuminated reticle scope with good clarity and bright glass feel free to chime in. Don't need huge magnification. 3x9 2x10 4x12 range is more than enough. I may end up having to go with something from Leupold's lightweight line but I really need something with an illuminated reticle. It seems like today everything is built to shoot off of a bench and not be taken into the field and weight and feel is an afterthought if it is given a thought at all. That and don't get me started on triggers. Or out of the box build quality from major US makers for that matter.
