The PARD NV007 with a target at 25 yards. Will be moving it out to 70 yards tomorrow and trying it again.

My nephew just took his first deer. Youth season. Proud uncle. .243.

Outstanding.

Nice shot placement. Could have been a tiny bit more horizontally towards center mass but now we're splitting hairs. Also the shot placement looks like it may have been looking straight at him.

Sometime tells me it won't be his last.

Honestly, considering his skill level and experience, I'm super impressed with his shooting. Didn't expect this. Little guy really stepped up and made a great shot. His older brothers put in a lot of effort to make this really easy for him. Regardless, I couldn't be happier. Great learning experience. He had to field dress his own deer too. Unfortunately, I wasn't there for that.

This is an old video. But this is me field dressing a doe in less than 5 minutes. Was giving my other nephew a how-to at the time.

Outstanding...

I put a decent Riton micro red dot on my Canik Elite SC. As well as a Baldr mini. Really happy with the way this setup works. Weight is balanced perfectly. 12rd mag pictured here, but I've also got 2 15rd mags. Super easy to shoot.

Anyone here ever use a Burris Eliminator scope? I use the Oracle X on my crossbow and love it. Was curious of anyones thoughts.

I'm a big fan of Burris optics. But that one is a bit too expensive for me. If you want a really easy long range optic and have plenty of gun money, this would be it though. A friend of my hunting buddy has a Eliminator 3, and says it's really amazing. That said the version 5 looks absolutely bananas even compared to that. It's as expensive as 4+ rifles. But still...

I've looked through a 3, but didn't shoot it. Guy said he loved it for prairie dogs. I didn't really enjoy how busy the reticle was.

If you've got rewards to burn you can buy the 4 for the price of the 3 right now at Cabelas.

I don't know much about guns, but I have been looking into getting one, or more, for self-defense purposes. Better to have and not need..

I've already determined that I'll get a 12 gauge at some point for home defense. Seems like the Remington 870 is cheap, easy to maintain and perfect for what I'm looking for.

But lately I've been considering pistols as well.

I like the look of the 1911. From my understand, it was once military issue so I'd imagine they're pretty reliable. What's CP's opinion on them? Obviously I will shoot one myself to see how it feels, just curious about opinions.

Also, revolvers. What are the advantages/disadvantages of revolvers vs semi-autos? Any particular revolver CPers prefer to others? FTR, I think I'd prefer one with a shorter barrel.

I'm also having a bit of a philosophical debate with myself.

I freely admit I am interested in this silver (or chrome, whatever) 1911 I came across simply because it looks cool.

Should I want a gun because it looks cool? It's only for self-defense so it's not something I'd ever want anyone to see.

For the gun enthusiasts here, how much does your opinion on the look of a gun play into your purchases?

If you are a complete novice a revolver is a really good idea. They are much easier to operate and won't jam. The issue is capacity. I really like having 15 rounds to put on target but if you aren't comfortable with a semi auto you really need to spend considerable time practicing for failure so you can be comfortable if you ever need to use it.
