re: #137 austin_blue

If you want to put meat in the freezer, a handgun isn’t going to feed the bulldog. A nice 30.06 or 7mm will fill the bill. I’ve always liked the 7.62 NATO as a hunting round, personally. My rifle is an ancient H&K 91. Great gun.

But that’s just me.

I’ve got a Dan Wesson .357 pistol pack, and even with the 8” barrel, it’s a useless hunting gun unless you scare up a feral hog in a draw. And you better be good or that pig will tear out your asshole.

And yes, I’m a Texas Democrat. And a vet. Take that, Teabaggers.

My rifles are 7x57 or .30-30. I’m actually working up a custom 7x57 carbine based on a VZ-24 action. That said, the revolver is for on my hip while I carry said rifle. I’ve seen too many other idiots not put the bullet or shotgun slug in the right place to not want to have a serious hand gun along for a Coup de grce. My own shooting has, so far, been better than that but why not cover the base?
