I'll help ya. You need to look at Urban Dictionary for the internet slang/lingo:

On internet culture and slang databases like Urban Dictionary, a yachter (or someone who engages in "yachting") refers to an upscale high-end escort, model, or socialite who is paid large sums of money by wealthy clients to travel, party, and provide companionship—frequently aboard luxury megayachts.

other than the tinnitus I barely realize the gun went off.

Don't worry, it'll get worse. :wah: I can tell you when my tinnitus started, 28 years ago shooting a 6.5 JDJ (ballistic twin to the 6.5 Grendel) in a 14" TC Contender handgun w/o use of ear plugs. :angry: If you're having tinnitus now, you already have some irreversible hearing damage. Protect what you still have.

PCBourbon,
It's good you're helping your daughter get into deer hunting. Nowadays there are a number of good deer rifles available that won't break your bank. I'd suggest one of the following bolt actions: Ruger American, Savage, Browning or Howa. I don't have a Tikka, but I've read good reviews and they have a strong following on the OB. I've got a Marlin that I've been very pleased w/, but not everyone's had the same experience. he Remington 700 has historically been a good gun, but due to recent QC problems, I can only recommend an older model, Bergara also makes a nice bolt gun. I suggest you take her to a gun store and handle different models and see which one (s) handle most naturally.. Notice how the safety and bolt work. Depending on her nature, she might find a "youth" model fits her best.

As far as what caliber, I'd suggest one of the following: 25-06, 260 Rem, 270 Win, 7-08, 280 Rem, 308 Win or 30-06. 6.5 Creedmore is ok as long as you can find ammo w/ good deer hunting bullets, NOT match bullets. The 350 Legend and 300 Blackout are also good rounds to start w/, but they do limit the range. When my son started deer hunting, I bought him a 308 and loaded some reduced recoil loads for him (this was prior to factory reduced recoil loads). He killed a bunch of deer w/ it. Now that my grandson's are nearing deer hunting age, I have bought a 7-08 for them to hunt with. If she's recoil sensitive, shoot some managed recoil loads before you start using full power loads. You don't need a magnum, short, long, ultra____, or whatever. Buy a decent scope in the 3-9X range. You don't need to spend $600 on the scope. The brands I can personally recommend are Leupold, Burris and Vortex. I use a one piece Weaver base and Burris Signature Z rings (the ones w/ the plastic inserts) to attach the scope on all my guns. Try different types of ammo before settling on which one to hunt w/. Keep in mind what calibers of ammo are available where you shop. For example, my local WM doesn't even carry 7-08 ammo.

I also like the idea of getting a suppressor for the new gun, especially since the tax stamp fee is gone. The 30 caliber suppressors I can personally recommend would be Dead Air Nomad L and Otter Creek Labs Polonium 30. If you buy one of the less expensive guns, you'll have plenty of money in your budget for a suppressor.

Keep us updated. I hope y'all experience some good memories hunting together. :bow:

Time to stop tipping

---

When I tip for services, I don't do it on the computer check out. I use cash.

"Chuck", 5 seasons and 91 episodes. It was originally on NBC, but I watched it on one of the streaming networks. I fell in love w/ Yvonne Strahovski.
"Dexter," 8 seasons and 96 episodes. Originally on Showtime, but watched it on ?Netflix. At the end, it reignited my attaction for Yvonne Strahovski, :lol:
"NCIS: Origins," 2 seasons and 36 episodes. It's not really long running, but it's still early.
"NCIS" (original), 23 seasons and 507 episodes. I'm in the process of rewatching it. Currently in season 7.
"Charley's Angels," 5 seasons and 115 episodes. While in college, it was the only show I'd stop studying for to watch. Farrah Fawcett was my first TV love.
:lol:
"All in the Family," 9 seasons and 205 episodes.

Others I watched that've already been mentioned by others would include "Cheers," "Sanford and Son," "Happy Days," and "Seinfeld."

Hey guys, thanks for all the good suggestions. I posted the same question on a handgun hunting forum I frequent and one of the posters volunteered to send me a "starter pack" of 350 Legend bullets. I was expecting a handful of bullets, but got a total of #170 bullets, including #40 each of some bullets I was going to buy: Sierra 155 gr Pro Hunter, 165 gr Hornady FTX and 170 gr Hornady Interlock. I'm holding off on buying any bullets for now as I expect to find a winner or two from the "starter pack."

We had some people that skipped Jury Duty on the Jury Duty thread. Nothing happened. No cops making you do tests that you will fail drunk or sober. No fines. Nothing

I don't know what parish that was in, but that's not how it is in Webster (extreme NW LA) Parish. A guy failed to show up for jury duty. Judge sent Deputy Sheriff to get him. The Deputy brought him back while jury selection was still going. The guy said it would cause a hardship at his job for him to serve on the jury. He went through the jury selection process, was seated on the jury, and served the full 5 days to the trial's completion at 7 PM Friday night.
