Who here + what year + results + level of enjoyment....last took Big Game Hunting, an open sighted old Rifle from Dad, Grandfather, a Family Heirloom or one bought.
I remember a time when I was a kid, most all men used open sights. Those who had money were very proud to have the very best optics, a Weaver K-4 scope. Yet many cussed at the scopes the first year or so due to missing game because they couldn't quickly see it through the scope.
If you have Hunted with a Winchester 94 or 92, what caliber was it..?
If you used a hand-me-down Military or Commercial Bolt, Pump, Semi-Auto etc...what caliber, what were the results, fun..? Misery..?
Does anyone remember the big fan club of the Williams Peep Sight..? Plus often a man had the same one box of ammo for many years..?
Have any arguments men had whilst sitting around the Campfire in reference to Rifle makes, Good/Bad cartridges for game and so on..?
My Mother in law (age 90) has fond memories using here 30-40 Kraig and has it ready if invited to Hunt (She's like a 40 yr old, still..!!!).
