Been shooting magnums since 1984 and have yet to take a scope in the head. Must be the superior rifleman's skills honed to perfection by OTPG caliber shooters.

AJ Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Re: SCOPE! Come on John, you know that is over their head. They are all brawn and no brains. They need recoil to start the thinking process. Unfortunately, some don't shoot but once a year. Has anyone else noticed that Strut's post count has doubled since OTPG was created?

coles Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Re: SCOPE! a few years ago a man was hunting near the mountains when a sow grizzly with 2 cubs charged him. he shot her in the head with a .270 from about 10 feet and it just bounced off her head. i dont think my .300WSM would have bounced off. this is a prime example of why i shoot a magnum.

coles Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Re: SCOPE! no it was in the news paper and everything. the gamewardens tracked her until almost february with her cubs cuz she hadnt denned up yet. they said getting shot like that caused her to go silly and had some brain damage i think. im not stretching the truth at all. everyone was talkin about it.

TexasDeerHunter Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: SCOPE! I am sure the bullet may have grazed the bears head, but there is no way a properly loaded bullet from a .270 is going to bounce off a bears head. Definately some truth stretching going on with that story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coles Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: SCOPE! he shot it right in the forehead. maybe it was just a chance thing but one thing is for sure. it wouldnt have happened it he would have had a bigger rifle!!

[ QUOTE ] i dont think my .300WSM would have bounced off. this is a prime example of why i shoot a magnum. [/ QUOTE ] What are you smoking? Your mighty 300 WSM would have had the same results. If the .270 caliber did not penetrate, why would somehting that is only slightly bigger but going the same speed work? Now where did I put that flag?

coles Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: SCOPE! oooo mighty big moderator AJ is going to try and correct me on where i saw it. why would i lie? im not one of those people to make something up just to get a rise out of people. http://www.wildraven.net/AmericanGrizzly/recent_grizzly_bear_news.html AJ check out this sight and put your money where your mouth is. notice the little part at the top where says "from the Great Falls Tribune". not from the internet. sorry for your inconvenience AJ. didnt mean to prove you wrong. just settin the facts straight. I heard the distance he shot it from, from the bear biologist MIke Madel's son who i graduated iwth. Do you want to know his name so you know im not lying about that one too? his name is Daniel and placed in state wrestling and now is going to college in Idaho for wildlife biology.

TexasDeerHunter Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: SCOPE! coles, I don't think it was implied that you were not telling the truth. What we are saying is that the media or whoever told this story did not have the facts right. I went to the link and saw nothing saying that a shot from a .270 bounced off of a bears head.

TexasDeerHunter Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: SCOPE! coles, I think you are reading too much into the whole thing. I doubt that AJ was trying to insult you, I am sure he is just poking some fun. IMO you are just relaying what you read or heard and whoever gave you that information is telling some tall tales. The media , whatever form it may be, is not always the most accurate story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: SCOPE! Gotta agree with Texasdeerhunter. Besides with as much grief as the cocoa drinker has taken lately, I believe he should be allowed to dish a little out once in a while.
