I think it can be reliably stated that no one would really consider going after big game at 400 yards with an AR- 15, but I think the AR-10 in .308 will reach out to 1400 yards.

I ran with a .308 savage back in the day... Figured it was a good all-around gun. And it was. but it didn't take long before I realized I needed a faster action in the saddle and in the bush. So I bought my 30/30 Winchester and began to carry that, consigning the .308 to hunting blinds and such.

But then I went after elk. I don't remember if I ever blooded that .308 with an elk, because I went pretty quickly to a 30.06 with a scope. But I was still beating through miles of tangled brush to try and get a shot. It sucked so bad, and half the time I was in too close and spooked em... Quick shot, nothing but hair in the scope.

It wasn't till my first Bighorn that I figured it out... now I use big iron, with good optics. I find a ravine the elk travel to get to pasture or water, and I find high ground overlooking that travel, and I wait.

No more brush beating, no more uncontrolled shots _ I take my pick now. It's always a fairly long shot that way... say 400 yards and up... 600-800 is alright. 1000 yards is a stretch.

All that to say, if you're getting 1400 yards out of a .308, you must be dunkin them rounds in secret sauce. 

The fed will cut rates bigly a month or two before the election.  Just enough time for the “free” money to get into everyone’s hands, but not enough time for the deleterious effects to start kicking in.  It’ll be designed to interfere with the election in Biden’s favor.

Texas, Kansas Lead Lawsuits Against ‘Unconstitutional’ Rule Restricting Private Gun Sales

Texas Scorecard by  Erin Anderson   | May 1, 2024

Attorney General Ken Paxton is leading one of two multi-state coalitions suing Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for Second Amendment violations.

Republican attorneys general in multiple states, including Texas and Kansas, are suing to stop the Biden administration from imposing new restrictions on the rights of gun owners.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced the new lawsuits against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives during a press conference Wednesday at the Frisco Gun Club.

The lawsuits challenge a new ATF rule that redefines “engaged in the business” as a firearms dealer.

The 126-page rule would have the effect of criminalizing law-abiding Americans for private gun purchases and sales.

The attorneys general argue that the rule is unconstitutional because it is vague, violates the Second Amendment, and circumvents Congress.

“The war on Second Amendment rights must be stopped. My message to Biden is ‘Come and Take It,’” Paxton told reporters.

“When the Biden administration can’t get a bill through Congress, it uses administrative rules,” said Kobach.

As if they would know what to do with the contents of a library.  Like the brown shirts from the 1920s, I’m sure they’re tempted to burn the books.

Of course. Books are bad - they're full of ideas and differing viewpoints and stuff.
