Whats better then a rat?

When I was growing up, even in the heart of Wisconsin, I was considered a potential threat for being interested in guns and knives. And it wasn't just for the voilent aspects of it, ballistic sciences and bushcraft fascinated me, yet I was still considered to be a nut job. Our public schools are brainwashing factories of a liberal hoochykoo society, of grocery stores and malls and sheltered communities. Seeing kids genuinely involved in shooting at such a young age gives me hope for the future of our society. NC527, that is a fine rifle for a person of your age. If you don't have one already, a nice .22 is the best place to start for working on your shooting skills. They are much cheaper to shoot so you can get more practice in and really break down the fundamentals of precision shooting. A Savage Mk2, Cz452 or Marlin 60 would be a great complement to your 710, you can practice on targets or varmint year round. Also easier to learn skinning and dressing techniques on rabbits than it is on deer.

speaking of this I recently had a freind my age (19) tell me he would be a good shot because he was good at Call Of Duty 4.

Took him to the range and he actually wasn't to bad!!

10 shots in a 4.5" diameter at 100 yards.

Also nice rifle Good luck during deer season!!
 
I know a lot of people look down on these 710's. I think mostly its because they don't have experience with them. I bought a used one with scope for about $200 4 or 5 years ago, and its a sub MOA gun, nothing wrong with that :)

Already have a .22 from my dad, and I have been hunting since I was 8. I am a good shot, and last year with my friends .308 I dropped a 8 pointer about 200 yards out. My first deer was a 9 pointer that I took with a single shot 20 gauge. I already know how to dress and skin deer fyi, although we do rabbit hunt every year. We have been training our pup this summer to retrieve for us during dove season, and she does pretty well.

They have improved them slightly since then, and from what I can tell, it is a good gun that gun snobs look down upon, kinda like alot people here look down upon knives like the spydie tenacoius or benchmade monochrome.

I have to say that this is a refreshing post to me. It's nice to see posts with young people getting involved in guns, knives and the outdoors. Good parents!

I think you ment to say a lot of people here OWN spydie and benchmades...?

I've been posting here for a while and people dont tend to focus too much on looking down at other blades... we just tend to look at the RC's as our choice, and are happy with it.....
 
That is a decent rifle for a starter. I looked into that same model and caliber when I was looking for a deer rifle. I did a little research and worked some extra hours, in the end I came home with a Savage .308 that I am actually ready to get rid of.

I am glad you found something you are happy with. Have fun shooting with your dad.

Be safe.
 
Nice rifle. I love the .270 cartridge. You can load it with a light bullets and it makes a mean critter gitter. Load it heavy and take anything in North America.

Looked at savage models, but I didnt like the ergos, and the stock felt like a airsoft rifle. EDIT: I forgot to say that today I got about 3/4 inch grouping from 75 yards. I would post pics, but forgot the targets. ):

Well, you may well be right but one thing we don't do in this forum is talk bad about other company's knives. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way but to be honest with you I don't even know what those particular knives are. And I have never heard anyone here say bad things about them. Of course I could have missed that thread.

I was saying that those two knives are good knives, but since they are lower cost, and dont use super steels, some people simply dont think they can be good at all, which they are. I was not down talking those knives.

ok here we go.........RAT does not use super steels they use basic 1095 with a quality heat treat.....most members of this forum understand the value of high value knives and don't turn there noses up at any blade that is quality. I happen to own several folders from benchmade, kershaw, buck, etc. and use them daily. i edc both my kershaw blackout and izula everywhere go and use them both. I guess what i am trying to say is don't try to assume to know how other members think and it will keep you out of trouble.:thumbup:
 
:D RFP Kershaw RAM, LFP Izula, BRP wallet and a Tinker SAK. Time to change the subject before this gets a little heated ;).

How about a list of things that are better than RATs,

1. helicopters with mini guns
2. mini guns
3. the new chevy camaro, preferably with a mini gun
