I am 63, lifelong Arkansas resident, & I have hunted/fished my entire life. Your video shows several things but one of the mostly important I believe is that one does NOT have to buy an expensive firearm to be considered lethal. I love all types of firearms & I have several. But all my guns are of the “friendly budget” group. I have a Maverick 88 (by Mossberg) which is the “budget” version of the Mossberg 500. No telling the meals that shotgun has been responsible for & never one time has that shotgun ever failed in the field while hunting. My 22 rifle is a Savage in which it is also very accurate to my ability in shooting which is extremely limited. I don’t shoot far nor do I practice shooting long distances but I can keep a very respectable group out to 50 yards with any gun I own. This video shows the importance of staying within your boundaries in shooting but also staying with your personal budget. Great video & one Awesome message for all. Oh BTW, 410 only comes in 2 1/2 or 3 inch not 2 3/4!….😂. Sorry & no bashing intended.

[@offthecouch1999]

Thanks for the interaction, and to be quite honest, I never noticed that about 410. I've shot 1000s of rounds and never took the time to notice that. I think it is because as a kit, after I was old enough to buy my own ammo, it was 12 Guage all that way, and I just assumed I really appreciate you pointing that out

[@kylewood8327]

Awesome looking Blackhawk! The .357 is an excellent round for both medium game to humans, it’ll get the job done for sure. My go to guns are my Winchester 94 in 30-30 and my Ruger Vaquero. Love these two firearms

[@howhardcanitbe4270]

My hunting shotgun cost less than $300 in a pawn shop. I spent more than that for an elk rifle, to be fair. But your point stands: in many or most cases, the cheap gun isn't the weak link. Enjoyed this video, thanks for posting.

[@offthecouch1999]

Thanks and yeah I can say from experience the ultralight waterproof (for the most part) sub moa 600yd+ rifle makes sense for a 200+elk tag in the rockies and such

[@RobertMcCune007]

If it works for you then it works. I would not feel underpowered with my 357 and my marlin. 30-30 but I everyday carry my 10 mm sig 1911 and when I go into the woods it's my go to along with my 30-30, I don't have use for a long-range gun as I live in the northeast if I did need long distance, I would take my 300-win mag.

[@offthecouch1999]

Yeah thest windage got a real punch lol my buddy in highsxoll would packaged and gur the deer with one shot lol

[@ConnorMainwold]

unfortunately in my neck of the woods, It is Illegal for me to hunt with a rifle cartridge other than .22lr or .22 magnum for small game and coyotes. Just to clarify, I live in the smallest state in the union. It's because we are so close together that rifle cartridges are illegal. I don't like it but that's the law. If you want to take deer, With a modern Firearm I believe the only one available is a shotgun and you have to use a slug. 12 gauges is the most common in my area.

[@MarlinWilliams-ts5ul]

Cant go wrong with Savage. I toured the Plant once in Westfield, Mass.; great bunch of guys at work there.

[@offthecouch1999]

I'm loving mine. Had I'd afore about 3 4 years now I belive. It was one of the first hunting rifles I actually bought and wants handed down by my dad wun I got married

[@prairiestatepatriots]

Well, I technically took the coyote with my truck (unintentionally) but the mercy .45acp did a hell of a job finishing. I typically carry a 9mm but plan on getting a 10mm for woods carry this year. It's an amazing round for larger predators. It's just risky for carry due to its penetration depth. Great video man.

[@offthecouch1999]

Hey man 45 is a good round in most instances and yeah 10 mm in town IA a scRry liability

[@billydodd8457]

be careful with 10 mil. ammo....some of it ain't no different than 40 cal.

[@offthecouch1999]

@billydodd8457 I've heard that as of late from the paul. I've yet to see it in my brothers 10 and my 40 but we have old ammo.from.pre Obama era

[@davepoidvin2364]

The bolt raceway is most likely filled with old sticky lubricant. Clean it and you will find it to run much smoother with no resistance. The loose assembly of the bolt is normal, Savage center fire rifles have a floating bolt head. In theory, that allows the cartridge to be chambered without any negative influence from the bolt, the floating head will follow and lock inline with the natural seating of the cartridge. Congrats on having realistic and honest values and hunting ethics. Dave & The Girls

[@offthecouch1999]

Thanks for the info. My friend I was wondering why the bolt handle was so loose. And it Normaly is pretty smooth. We put about 220 rds down range yesterday no issues. It csn shoot more than that without cleaning but I'm poor and can't afford more than that a quarter for heavy training

[@sdix3770]

Where I’m at we have black bear, but we also have moose. I use either a .44 mag or a .45 long colt. I love the .357 but it’s just not as comfortable of a feeling as a .44 mag. Just a personal opinion and nothing more.

Thanks and welcome to the community

[@patriotpreacher43]

410 is 2.5 inches or 3.0. Not 2.75 like every other gauge. With slugs, please try Brenneke brand. They are far superior to all the Remington, Federal and Winchester 1/4 ounce rifled slugs. Buffalo Outdoors is a YT channel that tested these and the results are very interesting. I recommend you give that a look. Thanks for the video!

[@r.tomrobison8307]

I have all the calibers except the 270. First gun I ever bought was a marlin 22 auto. I received 5 guns when my grandpa passed away. I went into law enforcement. My duty gun was a colt mark III. I bought it. You brought me down memory lane. My combo would be a 357 and 12ga single shot. That will bring anything in my area. Good video.

[@offthecouch1999]

Exactly and I always tell folks... it's gotta work for you. If you got grizzlies mabie you need a 10mm glock or a 44

[@tylertapp131]

Good stuff, I grew up on single shot shotguns mostly and spent a ton of time in the woods. That bein said I 100 percent agree with you on that 410. I grew up on a new England firearms co. Single shot 410 that I've personally takin everything from birds to deer with and was my companion on tons of weekend and overnights out in the woods. I have way more options now but still like gettin back to my roots from time to time. I think as of late, my main 2 calibers I use in the woods more then any is 45 colt, in a single action army or a lever gun and 223/5.56. They've both proven to be very adequate for most things I need a firearm for in the woods. Would love to find a ruger black hawk one day in 45 colt, but for now I'll keep usin my single actions or even my 6.5 inch barrel judge magnum from time to time. That judge with the 3 inch cylinder and 6.5 inch barrel has been a great woods gun and very versatile for me.

[@John5.56]

Rim fires are simply less reliable than center fire. With that said I think a lot of people over exaggerate. With as in expensive as the firearms are and as inexpensive the ammo is compared to basically any other caliber I think they provide a lot of value. If you have a few rounds not go off in ten thousand rounds I think they’re still completely viable for alot of tasks and like I said offer alot of value.

[@offthecouch1999]

I feel like the sheer amount of 22 I shot will such little vs the significantly less rifle /pustol/shotgun ammo If makes me wonder. Should I do a video?

When it comes to flat shooting guns and if you're hunting whitetail I like the 25-06 all the 22 -250. Both of them is a flatter shooting gun than the 270 and I'm 67 years old. I've been hunting since I was nine

300+ yd game shoots not hard if you practice from the bench AND from your deer stand or in the field. My favorite longer range cartridges are my 7STW and a 264win mag. Both zeroed at 300yds.

I have had all of these guns, except the 410 with the Blackhawk being my favorite. I like to carry my Henry .22 lever and can hit anything I want within range of that cartridge. I love the .357 great round very versatile, I just like .327 a lil better. I like the idea of a pistol and a carbine long arm in the same caliber. I have a Henry .327 lever and a Ruger Single 7 The aforementioned henry .22 and my Ruger Wrangler is a great combo that I carry often. Don't do much with a shotgun, but I have had a few including one of those Jc Higgins. My Savage 110 was in .243 I traded it for a snowboard now I have a Savage Stevens 30/30 pump for big game.

The hogs tussle a bit but that's shot placement (hard to control at 80 with buck )

[@aaronwilcox6417]

I use an 270win in northern rockies because its factory ammo and reloading components are available and mostly affordable compared to most other choices outside of 308win. I will give you a piece of excellent advice for your practice with your rifle. Go and get your rifle set up with an proper shooting sling for the field and practice as much high angle and field positional shooting as possible. It will make all the difference. Some people claim all manner of expertise and make all kinds of claims but you see them shooting from a bench, a bag, or bipod on a flat square range. That really isnt skill building compared to practicing riflecraft in actual terrain and conditions. Theres some good slings around for field shooting. Theres also an hybrid you might want to look into called the Slogan Sling that might work well for you and there's some ad video avaliable on them. Good luck and have fun.

[@offthecouch1999]

I actually hate my sling with a passion and my pa never let me shoot rifles at a bench unless we were sighting in new loads. I love going to my buddies land an promising short and medium range shots bit up and down hill.. and in some cases even from a stand but I'm a ground hunter usually. I'll jave to check that sling out. The in I got is just enough to wrap my forearm in when standing but not worth a damn in transist

[@kennethharding9118]

300 win mag shoots flat and really really fast I know I know it cost alot of money I find myself doing with out a lot of things to get what I want and yes it does take a while to get the things I want but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to endure I worked hard all my life you would be hard pressed to get me to give up what I worked so hard for. like I said you may have to do with out but when you get what you were after it is very satisfying

I’ve hunted elk and mule deer. Never tried white tail. I have a cousin who is a prolific elk hunter and he uses 270. He razzes me for sticking with 30-06. My Savage 110 is an excellent hunting rifle. With that rifle in 30-06 I find most of my elk shots are under 200 and I’ve had a few face to face hunting encounters at closer to 25 yards with elk and mule deer. I try to limit myself to 250 yards but I have taken 1 shot in my life where I shot at 450 yd and was successful. I sure do love a 30-30 hunting as well. Out west shotguns aren’t that common unless you are a bird hunter which isn’t as popular as big game. For handguns I’m still a fan of 45 SAA. I’m not a fan of handgun hunting. That’s what rifles are for. 22s are great. You can hunt small stuff with that. I’ve had some duds with 22lr but that’s not a big deal. I don’t know why people make a big deal over that. But they aren’t great for mid sized dogs. It will go right through them at close range but you won’t see any real effect on them other than thinking you are pelting them with something like rocks or a BB gun.

I’m in northern NM but have lived on and off for half my life in Colorado. I’ve never seen a wild hog except on hunting shows. I’m tempted to get a 357 lever action though. Seems like a fun gun. Unfortunately, here it isn’t legal to hunt big game with buckshot. Only slugs if using a shotgun. Lately I’ve been tempted to try black powder muzzle loaders just to open up more opportunities for public land elk hunting.

[@offthecouch1999]

If you're just trying to try I'd go with a break barrel 50. They are very accurate foe that they are and will put the smackfoen on big game

I plan to try some 130 grain core-lokts out of it this year. One of my favorite firearms is my Mossberg 190 16 gauge bolt action shotgun. In my area, 16 gauge is still fairly available and it has a c-lect choke so I can shoot any shell that isn't steel shot. Great video.

[@offthecouch1999]

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the 130 cor loc. It produces a tighter group for .my scope and rifle setup. And i.. sure I have a lot to do with it too. I've never shoot more than a box of 243 if that in my life. But it's an interesting round. Hmthe 270 to me is comfortable shooter in field environments even if propped is against a tree like I'm usually doing

@@offthecouch1999 I have a “Frankenstein “ model 12 Winchester. What I mean is it has mismatched serial numbers. The barrel and receiver are from different generations. I bought it that way. I cut it down to 24”, because I really had no use for a fixed full choke. I have a Mossberg 500 Turkey gun. I like the model 12 loaded up and standing duty in the corner of my bedroom, and that shorter barrel for me is a perfect length and easier to get on target for its intended purpose.

I grew up on 410, was my first gun. I wish I had all the ammo that I ever put through that thing. Was my grandmother’s gun, and I still have it, forty years later. My first rifle was a 270, man, I wish I still had it. I pretty much agree with your opinion of guns, it’s a good base to build upon.

[@offthecouch1999]

Same here on the 410 I had 50 boxes of 3 inch shells that my dad traded a set of golf clubs for when he bought me mine I still have 4 or five boxes left and for the first time since they left the shelves of Walmart in 2018, I found a guy that sells 8 shot 2 1/2, and that's about all I can find lol they're 23$ a box. Ues to be 10. Crazy world

[@offthecouch1999]

@roncochran7650 yeah 270 is a great rifle. I'd I could only have one caliber ever, it would be 357 but 270 makes hog and coyote removal fun and it slaps a deer at 400 easy with practice. I and shot 400 standing and sitting but I'm too fat for prone at that distance and to uncomfortable with my bad knee to make it at 400. Never shot 270 past 400 as of yet. I can ring steel with the 556 at 600 and my pas 308 I took to 800. All this last month though never really had judge shots until Wyoming. But I had le leaver action 45 70 out there and a 7m

I, also, love my .357 Ruger Blackhawk with the 6 1/2 " barrel. I've taken 2 wild boar with it. I have deer hunted with it, but they just didn't come into my comfort range. It is the firearm that's most likely to be with when out on the farm. BUT I would not take it bear hunting. With that being said, I'm trout fishing in Montana this spring.

You picked the harshest topic on the planet to discuss on the internet.
