45 P-N-Vortex vs. Weaver

[boarhog]

I generally select the rifle to use based on the stand I plan to hunt. If I'll be hunting a spot where long shots are possible, I'll use a rifle like my 7mm Rem Mag, ML10-2, or 7MM-08 with a 2-10X50 scope and keep it set on 6X most of the time. If I plan to hunt one of my "Thicket" stands, I'll use the Ruger 44 Carbine, Mossberg 30-30, or 44 Mag Ruger Super Blackhawk, with scopes set on 2-3X. That said, there have been several times over the years, when I had to take a close, running shot with a long range setup. Whatever you choose to carry, if it fits you well and you practice enough, you can succeed!
