I like the idea of the BLR but I already have a .270 and 7mm-08....so that' s why I was looking more at the other " brush busting" calibers....not that I think they actually bust through brush at all....I would like to use just pure iron sights or a peep sight rather than a scope just to add the " authenticity" aspect. Plus, I won' t take a questionable shot at a deer, if it' s too dark, then it' s too dark. I won' t wound a deer just cause I can' t see it good.

Most of these shots will be in timber.....50-100 yards, maybe an occasional 150 yard shot across a hay field, but if I' m gonna hunt someplace with longer shots than that, I' ll resort to one of the long bombers.....

Love the ideas guys.....keep em comin'
