That is so true, it is a hunting at a self imposed disadvantage.


I'm at the age were I have no problem passing on a shot, it has to be right or I just won't take it.

Figure on using the Savage .308 for most of my black bear hunting, have a brass insert on the rear peep aperture & that white bead front really stands out, I've been walking the woods in different light conditions & I can really see well with this combination.

Worked up a load w/ the Speer 180 grain Mag Tip & Hodgdon's Varget, getting me 2500+ fps @ the muzzle, figure I'm good from up close & personal out to 100 yards.
