Please take note as to when that piece aired.....the 15th of December. Lots of information has come forward since......unfortunately the coroner said all the children were killed with a "long rifle" and ".223". I wish it weren't so, but I'm a believer in fact not fiction......

To Whom it May Concern: If we do not stand together on defending the 2nd Amendment we will loose it. We do not have the 2nd Amendment to hunt or for recreational purposes. We have the 2nd Amendment to defend against a tyrannical government!!! End of Story. To justify it for any other reason than to defend against tyranny is nothing more than to bow down. It may sound nicer, but it is a lie. You don't need it to hunt.....you can buy beef at the store. You don't need it for recreation....heck you don't need recreation. You need it to defend your family and GOD GIVEN RIGHTS from a tyrannical government. STAND TOGETHER OR WE WILL LOOSE!!!!

Rifle is sold.

I have for sale a Remington Model 722. This is a barreled action. The barrel is chambered in 257 Roberts. Serial Number 3184XX. Asking $450 obo. SOLD

Our prayers are for the families of those who lost loved ones in this incident.

Another thing I'd advise against is having a "dedicated elk" gun......how often do you get drawn for elk in AZ?.....Not very often. Get something you can shoot and shoot lots. A 7mm or a 300WM will kill anything the western US has to offer......

Now I may be a pansy, but anything over about 12lbs is dang near unbearable for hunting coues in AZ. For anyone new to long range shooting/hunting, you'll likely hit up the longrangehunting.com and other forums. Those forums provide lots of pictures of guns, groups and kills. From those forums, your interest goes from excitement, to a burning desire, to action and the next thing you know you are hooked. Lots of folks on those forums are not Arizonans/New Mexicans. Some are in your western states, but very few hunt coues deer in Arizona. You'll see guys on the tactical forums, shooting rifles that weigh between 13-17lbs. The Savage Long Range Hunters chambered in 338LM, after you put a scope on one are going to weigh between 14-16lb. You think to yourself, "Meh, that's not too bad". Well, hump that thing around during an October hunt when its in the 90's and you'll be whistling a different tune. Weight does get you amazing stability, but it can also wear you out. The Gunwerks LR1000 rifle weights in a 12.5lbs, same thing with the Sendero II's. You literally need to feel and carry one of these rifles around to realize these things aren't light and they were built to be light yet repeatable. I have a friend in Flagstaff who builds custom rifles.....his cartridge of choice is the 7RSAUM. He puts pencil barrels on them and they shoot 1/4 MOA all day long, but they heat up fast and accuracy goes down. They are made for making one shot, extreme long range kills. Typically you don't need 2nd and 3rd shots. The military's M40A1/A3 rifles weigh between 14.5 and 17lbs. They have heavy contoured barrels not only for repeatable accuracy, but for stability when shooting. All in all you need to find people that have the rifles you are after and contact them. I've yet to find anyone within the long range community that isn't helpful. As a matter of fact they are extremely gracious. They can give you real feed back and will likely let you handle and shoot those rifles...... You can literally get an out of the box Savage or Remington 700 and make a few mods (if any) to them and they will shoot lights out! Range time is the most important thing. If you spend $5000 on a custom rifle, but don't go shoot it, I don't care what guarantee comes with that rifle, you can't drive it well enough to get its full accuracy out of it. All 3 calibers that OP (original poster) mentioned are capable long range rounds. The 338LM can make kills out to a mile on big game.....problem is most folks aren't capable even though the equipment is. You literally need to spend as much or more on optics as you do the rifle. You ain't going to get away with a bushnell elite on a 338LM. I have a friend who has personal experience with that. The 338LM even with a muzzle break has a tremendous amount of recoil! Most folks will tell you that the very bottom end of "good" long range scopes are the Zeiss/Swarovski/Leupold Target/LR series. I haven't been impressed with Swarovski because their turrets aren't labeled well. The ones I've seen have the color coded tabs and to set them up you count "clicks". If you are going to shot long range and are still counting clicks you have no business shooting long range! That's my personal opinion and in no way gospel. My buddies Zeiss has been repeatable and true. My daughters Leupold LR/T has been reliable and true. Without question if you throw down the dough for a NightForce IT WILL BE BOTH. I'd recommend NF, because I have personal experience with them. You need to understand MOA. If you are hunting big game you should stick with 1/4MOA or .1MIL turrets.....if you plan on shooting varmints or benchrest go with 1/8MOA. There is a significant difference between 1" tubes and 30mm tubes......read up and learn so you are educated before you start throwing down big $$. I live by the motto "buy once cry once". Don't buy crap....it will bite you when you least expect and could cost you big! Long story short, there is a lot to consider. Try out what you think you want. If you've always had it in your mind that one want one of those calibers, well then satisfy the itch! Otherwise you'll always have regrets.....our opinions are just that opinions.

A 7mm will do everything you ever want and then some. Packing a 14lb rifle around is no fun.....I'd recommend that you look at (in person) what you think you want. That may help you make up your mind. All are capable rounds.....I shoot a 300WM out to 1000 yds.

War on US soil.....free for shooting!

No matter what if you are going to kill animals at long range you need the right equipment PROVED in the field. That means taking shots a non living things in a variety of conditions and proving you can hit them......only hitting but hitting them consistently. I have found my greatest weakness is wind!

The thing most don't understand is that with lots of practice, any of these shots are doable. The 6.5x284 is a very capable rig. If a guy has worked up a load and knows his rifle shoots sub MOA at all yardages he plans on shooting, then I'd say the guy should have all the confidence in the world to pull off a shot like that. I don't know know the guy and don't have to, but if he's practiced at those yardages, verified his drop chart, has good quality equipment and conditions are right a shot like that is doable day in and day out. Based on the pictures, he was in the prone position, probably the most stable position to be in for shooting LR. Based on the angle, if he didn't account for his slope he could have missed simply by not taking that into account......either way he had to come up between 38-40 MOA......dang impressive.

Well in reality he was only off by 3 MOA.....not to bad really.
