I have a Weatherby Orion that I love. All I can contribute.

I bought for convenience. Just wanted to get a suppressor while it was easy.


you'll love it. I use mine on a 10/22 and a 22/45. It makes the 10/22 crazy quiet.
Called mine yesterday after seeing the news. They told me they just received the guidance and are selling through firearm transfer now

And they are out of stock on the one I want :banghead:

do yalll like the fusion for deer?


I found it to be sort of a mixed bag with some rifles not liking it at all and others liking it just fine. Reviews for the newer tipped fusions seem to be favorable

as for as terminal performance, I think it's more than adequate for deer. They've changed the construction of the bullet to make it more accurate and retain more weight giving better penetration

Not quite. My 300 WM spits out 150 gr Norma Whitetail ammo at about 3250

I used a Savage Axis 2 Pro last year also. It shoots really well, but the action is a little sloppy. I also found the shitty plastic magazine to be an issue. I bought a metal one and it feeds perfectly now.

The doe shoot we do every year is for a client, so it technically is work. It's not very fun, honestly, and certainly not hunting. Just need to be able to shoot straight and often.

It has ruined any desire I might have to kill does at our lease. I leave that up to my wife now, it helps with her bloodlust and probably saves a 3 year old 8 point from her wrath every year.

Best I’ve done is 7 in one sitting and 17 in 3 days. Never been so sick of cleaning deer.

If two of us are sitting together it is common practice to shoot the other guy’s falling bird then jokingly claim it.

I used a LT-20 for squirrels and rabbits for years. Loved shooting it, but chose not to carry it for doves for a couple reasons. First, I wasted that third shot A LOT. I don’t have the discipline to not give the doves a going away present. And second, I prefer an O/U for the ease of picking up shells. They pop right out into my hand instead of being ejected all over the place.

I’m sure they don’t bitch about the SECCG being played 1.5 hours from Athens every year. Or is the home schedule the only one they worry about?
