Weighing the option of a MZ hunt in Colorado next year. Trying to see what my options are. last MZ I had was an Optima and I absolutely hated that thing.

The rest I just wasted..... proud Cracker-Americaan muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one

I'd just hate for somebody to spend a bunch of money outfitting a rifle and then not be able to use half the stuff they bought. I don't own an inline so I can't help you there. And my eyesight and shooting ability stops at about 125 even with a center fire and open sights. Last edited by Sgiles; 01/15/18 12:10 PM.

I shoot a Hornady 250 with three 50 grain pryodex pellets. The gun only weights 6 lbs without the scope. You will carry it more than shooting it. All you need to know is. Dead deer don't grow!

Might have some influence on your decision. This is the main reason I chose NM for my elk hunt over CO. Ok to use in-lines with scopes there.

Well behaved women never make history.~ Out back Quit laughing...I think I broke something. Fifteen is my limit on Schnitzen-Gruben, Baby... I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.
