The GP100 is like the AK version of a revolver. Built for stout, and lasts a long time. If you are looking for a smaller gun, the SP101 is a good gun as well.

Archery and politics/news boards added.
I like the contest ideas. Should be easy to add to the current deer contest.

Also, I would like to add this. If I did not invite you and someone else did, it is absolutely nothing personal. I just tried to hit as many people as I could, and I am sure I didn't get everyone.
Thanks!

Looks like I forgot an archery board. Do you all want one?
Any other board ideas?
Any other contest ideas? (Small/other game, etc)

Fire IS fun, except if you get in a gunfight at night. After that first shot, you will be pretty much blind for a short bit.
But, on the upside, if you miss with that first shot you will have probably scared the crap out of the guy. I know I would be scared at seeing a giant fireball erupting with lots of noise from an angry homeowner.LOL
Just make sure you watch those curtains. Whether or not you stop the bad guy, your wife will be pissed if you burn the curtains.......LOL

Taurus makes decent guns. Some are great, some are lemons. Just like any other maker out there. My only concern with Taurus is there customer service. If it breaks and you need warranty work, they will fix it up for you. But, it will more than likely take quite a long time. I have heard anything from 4-20 weeks. Not that they do it on purpose, or are inept, just very busy and run behind schedule.
I would feel pretty confident buying one as long as I could give it a real good look over before purchase. I would suggest you steer clear of ANY that have a ported barrel though. They sure do port a lot of models. It just increases noise, and puts up a pretty impressive fireball. LOL

I have a set of Nikon Pro Hunters and they are pretty darn good. I have looked through better, but not in the price range. Let us know what you think of them when you get your grubby mitts on 'em.

I'm so glad we can use rifles down here. I use my shotguns for skeet, varmints, and birds. You should be glad. Here, we can use Shotgun-slugs only, Muzzleloader, or handguns. Now get this, I can hunt coyote/groundhogs with a rifle, any legal rifle. I could hunt yotes with a 270/30-06/300 mag/338 win mag/416 Rem mag/50BMG rifle if I wanted to. But deer, no way! Makes no sense to me....LOL

Not too shabby of a time!
Hey Ned, have you ever considered doing it yourself? It isn't hard, and once you do a few you can really get it done quick. Especially if you have one or two people helping you. Not only is it done how you want it, but you know it is your deer.
If you are interested, I have a link to a good video (online) of how to do it.

Your not kidding. I found the Hornady SST's on sale a couple years ago for $10 a box and picked up a bunch to try. I had heard some great things, how accurate they are yada yada yada. Well, I didn't have very good luck. Out of our two slug guns, my wifes 1100 grouped them the best. 4" at 100 yards! I went back to the $8 Lightfields and enjoyed those 2" groups. LOL
BTW- I am not knocking the SST's at all. They simply did not shoot out of our guns. A buddy of mine shoots an H&R Ultra and his gun grouped then at about 1 1/2" at 100 yards. But, I couldn't see the sense in spending more for less in my case.

I used the K.O.'s for several years, great slugs. Here are the limitations. First, you are looking at roughly 100 yards max. After that they drop like a rock and groups open up. Two, you need to clean your barrel very well after every 5 shots from the lead fouling. However, you should be cleaning your rifled barrel after every five shots with plastic sabots as well. The plastic really fouls up the rifling and it effects accuracy.
Give them a try and see how they shoot. If they are not grouping as you had hoped, also consider the Lightfields. I was paying ~$8 or so per 5, and they group and perform great as well. I was using the IDS and the Commanders. They tell you how high to sight them in at 50 yards to be on at 100 and it is pretty darn close.
