Marc_Watson Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Dear All, Firstly I apologize for the similar look of this posting to my last question asking about shotguns, I've just found it easy to paste an email in from my account. Secondly, I'm not sure if this is in the correct area. I apologize if it isn't! Moderators please feel welcome to move it! I was wondering if you could help me here please? I'm looking for a rifle for big game shooting. My family is actively against hunting, but I'm of the opinion that as long as its humane and for the pot........ I've got a disability which in a limited way effects my mobility. I can't carry anything to heavy. My preferred types of big game are below: 1. Deer 2. Bear 3. Wild Boar 4. Mountain Lion 5. Elk If a couple of weapons may be required, please advise. I've listed the game in order of preference. Weight is an issue, I need it to be reasonably light, but not have too much recoil. Maybe even a youth model. I'm also left-handed. Can you advise me on some suitable products please? Also maybe give an idea of costs and pictures? Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope to hear from you soon. Kind Regards, Marc Edited July 5, 2011 by Marc_Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxon88 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 urm... where in the world are you? cant say i've noticed mountain lions on the general licence? atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Humane and for the Pot ? Who the **** eats bear and Mountain lion ? You got a disability that limits your mobility and ability to carry anything heavy ? So only baby stuff for the pot then ? Perhaps Troll should be added to the potential quarry list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Humane and for the Pot ? Perhaps Troll should be added to the potential quarry list I did suspect. However bear is edible FYI. For someone who is concerned about mobility, visiting several continents seems like no issue. Let alone shooting mountain Lion..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 The Walt alarm is ringing rather loudly, I thought possibly he was in the USA but further investigation suggests not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docholiday Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Is it just me or has the last week seen a rise in some of the most daft Walt posts possible, is PW under attack... I am off to put my tinfoil hat on, the rest of you beware of mountain lions, baby rabbits and other such monsters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ550Kevlar Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I have done some searching and after a thorough breakdown of various calibers and performance etc and given the list of quarry etc i come to the conclusion you ideal caliber is.... A Rag-doll Cannon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) Guess it depends how much of 1-3 you will be doing, compared to 4-5 ? 308Win is an obvious choice for 1-3 (no idea on 4-5) Lot's of guns and ammo out there in 308Win, but no decent sized Centrefire cartridge capable of taking Deer, Boar etc is going to be easy on the shoulder, unless you fit a sound moderator to it. The question is... would you be allowed said sound moderator in the areas where Mountain Lion, Bears and Elk roam free?

This was last November you posted it, did you get a SGC and sort out a shotgun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
