I'll tell ya, Kalifornia is going downhill fast. I might just pack up my arsenal and move to the Lone Star state. Spent some time at Bliss/El Paso and kind of liked it.

I certainly wouldn't recommend moving to El Paso without the arsenal!

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

All kidding aside (not really), if you can get away from the BS, some of the best hunting in the country...Coues, Trophy Bear, and some healthy cats among others. Personally I like it there more than Montana...The Chiricahua's along with the three mountain ranges that come from the south of the border are zoo's, MI guys know at least one good one. Just remember anything green (except conifers) will cause pain when handled and little things that move cause more pain. More so than in deserts of CA.
Mental note: Don't put shoes or clothes on before checking what's inside. Have duct tape for removal of reminders having handled green things.

Experienced Opinions please...
I have a potential trade lined up. Getting rid of my wheel gun safe-queen and getting a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308. The barrel is a bit short at 20" and it has a hogue stock. The purpose of the rifle is for boar. the area where I will do most of my hunting is a private ranch with a lot of brush and ravines and it is unlikely for a shot to be over 300 yds. Its an even trade except I'll have to buy a scope. Good trade or am I getting rid of one gun that doesnt serve a purpose for another?
Thanks in advance
JW

Good trade, that rifle for a wheel gun...no brainer.
More than adequate for what you plan to use it. Ballistically very little difference in short and long barrel. 308 is fine enough for hogs. Scopes don't have two be too big either. A good "Fixed 6" should be fine. Blitzzz

Bunker in place and communication trenches dug. The bunker is a two-holer...er, uh, I mean dual turret.

I searched and was derailed by over an hour of interesting reading on other topics. I'd like to get some educated opinions about the Ruger Scout rifle or scout rifles in general ( like savage. Steyr seems overpriced to me)..
I was considering it as a handy gun for pig hunts. I'm new to it but I've gone several times in the past 6 months, and the manzanita brush is hell on the finish of my sako 270. Also, I like the iron sights. the longest shot I've had would have been in the 250 yd range and I thought the scope on the sako was unneeded.
Are scout rifles trying to be too many things and failing at all of them, or are they useful tools?
Ruger has pics on their sight, but I didn't want to post a link here.
