Is there a good place to go treasure hunting in or around Nebraska?

I don't know what treasure you are looking for but you might find arrow heads and gold nuggets. I've never heard of anyone finding treasure here, but I don't know everything.

Is a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?

if its not that great then what is something to look into for around $600...i would like to have a scope already mounted and bore sightedIs a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?
I have a 110GX in 25.06 and it's a very accurate rifle. The trigger is a little heavy but because of concerns about lawsuits that's common on rifles now. The wood isn't as pretty as some of the guns in my safe but as far as function, it's a great gun. My advice would be to get the Savage and the best scope you can afford. The gun is only as good as the optics.Is a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?
Great Rifle, however a new gun doesn't shoot any better than a used one.* Buy used and save $$$$ on the Gun %26amp; Scope.*
It's a lot of gun for the money.
If that's the right Savage for you, then go for it. With a good scope, it should be able to shoot fairly well, but as another poster said, they don't put a lot of work into their wood stocks. If you want to tighten your groups up a little more, getting a good bedding job would certainly help. For the $600 I assume you're looking at a new one. All the new centerfire Savage rifles are now being produced with the Accu-Trigger, so while the old triggers were stiff unpleasant, the new models all come with a very nice adjustable trigger. They're an excellent rifle to shoot, and unless you're going to sit in your tree stand looking at the wood, the Savage should suit any hunting role it's placed in, caliber permitting.
Savage rifles may look rather no-frills, but the action, if stiff, is strong and reliable, and the barrels are very, very accurate. I had a .243 that shot 1/2 MOA with 100gr. and 1/3 MOA with 80gr., this with factory remington ammo.


The only thing that might concern me about the Savage is the stock-to-barrel fit, if your rifle doesn't shoot well, have this checked out, with the right fit it may be a tack-driver after all.
savage rifles are mostly all good guns, make sure you get a good scope to compliment your good rifle
A quality rifle AND a scope are pretty hard to come by for $600. You might try the used gun market. The Savage rifle is a pretty good buy for the money.
I've owned a 30-06 110E for 12 years. Puts meat in the freezer every year. I highly recommend the 110 series rifles.

How do I get my friend into hunting?

She say's she hates it but I don't think she does she always wants to shoot my bow and arrow and my guns.


I told her I would go take a hunters safety course with her but she says no.


How can I get her into it????How do I get my friend into hunting?
get a coyote after her. hand her a gunHow do I get my friend into hunting?
don't?


there's a big difference between target shooting and hunting.


if she doesn't want to do it, it's her choice not to, never force anybody to hunt, if you like it, that's your choice. keep in mind that if you try to force a friend to do something they really don't want to do, you might hurt the friendship a bit since you'd be practically giving that person orders. you should respect what she wants to do, if she's a target shooter, then thats what she is.


you never know, see might come around on her own and want to join you on one of your hunting trips, always invite her, but don't bug her about it, let her make her own choice.


I have friends who don't hunt, just like the idea of perfecting a form of art, making a new record is their goal, ours is bagging that animal.
DON'T try to push her into it, she'll only hate it more and you might lose a friend..and dare i say it...she might even join PETA. o.O





maybe offer to take her hunting with you, if she spends enough time out in the woods she might start liking it, and also want to hunt.





there's lots of people that shoot bows/guns and haven't hunted a day in their life. hunting isn't for everyone.











edit: wow i dropped your little friend a e mail trying to tell her why we hunt...not because we think ';they did something wrong'; no..that would be retarted. but no she must turn around and be immature and throw around names. maybe try finding a friend thats more mature...





funny to, because i bet she eat's meat...wonder what that cow did wrong?
FIRST.. if shes an anti-hunter, forget about it you cant change there stubborn minds......





SECOND.. tell her how fun your having, tell her how the woods come to live when your sitting out there. show her some pictures.





THIRD...tell her you aint letting her shoot your guns untill she comes with you, if she dont come with you, i bet shell stop asking to shoot your belongings....:)
Suggest its good times to be had and fun memories to be made, in the end its not about the actual harvest but quality time spent with family and friends, good luck
Cook her an awesome meal with wild game.
Show her some photos and how much fun she will have if she agrees... You never no what she might say.
uh oh well your in the dog house.. don't force her


let her decide i'm a hunter
The only problem I have with hunting is that fact that you are KILLING inocent animals that have done nothing wrong.





I will take the course with you and get the license but I will not be going hunting





EDIT: Oh and too the person that said cook her wild game, I have had wild game before and that doesnt change my opinion about hunting

What air gun should i buy for Rabbit hunting?

nothing like ';buy a .22LR and use that';


it's in my garden with a rabbit investation


Please less than $45(low on cash)

%26gt;%26gt;$45 airgun for rabbit hunting?%26lt;%26lt;





There are going to be very few airguns in that price range capable of taking a rabbit.





You need a minimum of 5.0fpe at impact with a perfect head shot to make a clean, humane kill on a rabbit.





The Daisy 880s(rifle + scope combo) sells for $39 at my local Wal-Mart. The 880 generates a muzzle energy of 7.6fpe** with pellets, so you should be able to hunt rabbit at close range. I would suggest no more than 20 yards and 15 would be better





**665fps with 7.7gr pellets(7.6fpe) %26gt;according to the manual for the Daisy 880

Pyramyd Air has 715fps with pellets, which seems to be in error. The manual is more accurate(665fps)





IMO, if you could go just a little more($60), the Crosman 2100 is a much better choice. The 2100 actually does get 725fps with 7.9gr pellets(9.2fpe)

sorry i missread the question, well if i would realy try to get a second hand one and if your hunting rabbits it realy needs to be a decent power, id never try to use these smoothbore pump up rifles like daisys it would be inhumane.


Id get a .22 spring piston air rifle, id recomend a breakbarrel as they are faster to reload or you could get a co2 rifle like the smk 78 i think you call it xs78 but its a full power chineese copy of a old crossman rifle and it is very good for hunting and no recoil but east co2 and would cost about 70$


So for the price range your pretty much stuck wih a bottom of the range chineese rifle like a b2 or that one that looks kind of liek a ak, in this price rane with the chineese id avoid getting a breakbarrel as they tend to have a loose fitting soemtimes so would go for a under or side lever with abit of work you can redo the stocks and tune up the rifle and it wont be a bad hunter, but if you can save up abit of cash id get a xs78 for abit more and if you dont want a co2 id get a xs19 its lightweight, powerfull and accurate and realy good quality for the money.





Happy hunting
If your operating budget is less than $45, then there are really only three choices: the Daisy 880, the Crosman 760, and the Tech Force庐 15.





The Daisy 880 is a 10 pump pneumatic air-rifle built by Daisy. It shoots 7.7 grain pellets at up to 665 fps for 7.6 ff-lbs of muzzle energy. (In reality you're more likely to see around 650 fps with 7.9 grain pellets which works out to around 7.4 ft-lbs.) Its reasonably accurate. More to the point, Walmart usually sells Daisy 880s for around $40. Even though the Crosman 2100 is a better choice for hunting rabbits, given that its the best option in your price range, this is the gun I'd recommend.





The Crosman 660 is a 10 pump pneumatic airgun built by Crosman. Unlike the Daisy 880, most of the time these are smooth-bores. It shoots a 7.9 grain pellet at up to 600 fps for a muzzle energy of 6.3 ft-lbs of energy. It usually costs somewhere between $30-$40 at Walmart.





The Tech Force庐 15 is a cheap Chinese spring piston rifle. It claims a muzzle velocity of 650 fps but doesn't say with what weight pellet. Assuming the pellets are 7.9 grain it should deliver around 7.4 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Compasseco lists it for $31.96, but you'll have to add shipping into that which should put it up to $40 or slightly more.





To hunt rabbits, the gun you chose needs to deliver an impact energy of 5 ft-lbs. All three of the guns I mentioned can do that out to 20 yards. Maybe 25 yards for the Daisy 880 with pointed/round nose pellets (though that's really pushing the envelope and I'd feel more comfortable taking the shot at 20 yards).





To hunt jackrabbits, you need an impact energy of 8 ft-lbs. None of the rifles I mentioned above can do that. (The Daisy 880 comes closest at 7.6 ft-lbs nominally.) In order to get the 8 ft-lbs of impact energy you need for jackrabbits, you're going to have to spend some more money to get a rifle like the Crosman 2100 (7.9 grain pellet @725 fps for a muzzle energy of 9.2 ft-lbs, $60), Daisy 22SG (14 grain pellet @ 600 fps for a muzzle energy of 11.2 ft-lbs, $96), or a Crosman Phantom (7.9 grain pellet @ 1000 fps for a muzzle energy of 17.5 ft-lbs nominally (7.9 grain pellet @ 850-900 fps for 12.6-14 ft-lbs muzzle energy is more likely), $90). Any way you go, you'll probably be limited to no more than 20-25 yards with the multi-pumps and maybe 25-30 yards with the springer.





The Benjamin 392 and Benjamin 397 (along with a host of springers and PCP guns are available in the more than $100 category, but I tried to hold my recommendations to under $100 on the better options for rabbit/jackrabbit hunting which is why I'm not including details on them.
With $45, all you can get is something that can accomplish a serious wound and a prolonged death. When you get $100-110 saved up, get an entry level ';1000 fps'; break barrel like Crosman Storm XT. Until you have the proper rifle and the skill to kill in one shot, please leave the rabbits alone and be an ethical ';hunter';.
i would use a daisy pump rifle where the forearm of the airgun pumps. pump about 20 times for a good hit. it is recomended just to pump ten times but it won't hurt anything except the airtank and the rabbit. mine lasted 10 years and i used to pump it up to 100 times.
crossman 760, daisy 880 from any sporting goods or walmart! most swap meets carry the chinese b-3 for $30 in 22cal.. just keep your shots under 15yrds!

  • Should I take my GF on a romantic hunting date?

    What should we shoot, or kill? Rabits, Deer, Birds, or should I go fishing, or what!!! I want our anniversary to be awesome for me.Should I take my GF on a romantic hunting date?
    I personally love to kill innocent birds...


    maybe she prefers a romantic dinner date, you selfish guy. ;)Should I take my GF on a romantic hunting date?
    well if you want your aniversery to be perfect make your gf happy dont make it all `bout you.personally i hate hunting and every other girl i know hates hunting to.so if i were you go take a romantic walk around a romanitc lake at night that would be the perfect date!!!!!!!oh and then set up a picpik down at the lack for when your done.
    Good advice: Take her to diner...don't catch her diner.


    Bad advice: Make the anniversary all about you and your wants.


    The Plus:Have fun either way one way you get laid...the other you get to kill wabbits.
    Um.Most girls don't find killing romantic.How about thinking of something that would make your anniversary awesome for HER??? That's if you want there to be another anniversary.Next year.
    Yes. You should hunt doves, or go on a adventure to find bigfoot. OR maybe you should go to the forbidden Romanian Forest, and look for aliens.
    If you live in a good area, Pheasants I'd say. Or squirrel, if you think that would go over well. Deer won't be huntable for a while.





    Fishing would be good to.
    hunting?!?





    how about thee mall fool :)
