Happy birthday

Why do you need 3 1/2in for home defense?
This will get the job done without breaking the bank.

Whats the range on the 444? 35 whelen?

I dont worry about recoil when shooting, I worry about the scope hitting me. It has never happened to me before, but I shoot a 7mm 08 at deer.

Im a big guy and dont usually worry about recoil but I dont want a black eye from the 35. Ive heard some horror stories that make me unsure.

Blackened seasoning, butter, cast iron skillet.

Thanks guys ya'll make the 444 sound pretty nice.

I dont know much about them but its my understanding that the 35 whelen will kick the snot out of you but has the best range. 45-70 is good within 150yrds. Tell me about the .444

Looking to get a new gun for the "primitive season", pretty much sold on the CVA Stalker. I dont normally take shots over 200yrds during the regular season. I want as much range as possible without getting a bloody nose.

Which caliber would you suggest?

I'm ready and waiting...

I tried the HS I-kam which is a more expensive version. Worked well but when I look down the barrel to shoot it would not capture what I was shooting.

His facelift shows too much with all the grins that ahole is giving tonight.

I know its hard to believe that things happen for a reason but one day you will look back and agree.
