You know, bringing along a SAM7 SBR with a Bumpfire stock no longer seems all that ludicrous. Just sayin'; I mean the AK-47 is the poor man poacher's tool of choice the world over. Red Face

However knowing me, I'd forget to turn off the damn safety.


Or...just don't store food in the tent.

Or...buy a camper and leave the tent camping to the dummies. Wink

Why not just stay home, then?

Glock 20, stoked up with Underwood 180 grain FP-FMJs, in one of these , is my go-to woods, hunting, fishing, and Alaska rig. It's got plenty of power, high capacity, and rapid reloads. Plus, it's legal for big game hunting in Colorado, so I can try to shoot elk with it. One day...

I recall seeing that years back in RIFLE. After seeing it again today...I had the same initial reaction...."I wonder how many tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars were spent for this study"?

Done today by the FS it would be in the Million$.

Ran into a black bear in va my friend had a ar pistol in 50 Beowulf with a 8 inch barrel on a sling one shot in the chest from about 20 yards out scary as all hell we were just walking and he came out of no where. Practice your draw and aim he had a red dot on top so it was a quick and pretty precise shot but that bear was fast as hell

I'd rather have them spending money on that than burying serviceable heavy machinery up near Libby...

I hope you are in good shape.

You'll be chasing that elk a long way...
