Shoot ammo , that's what my long time hunting buddy is shooting a bolt action but he got it when I got mine 40 years ago and he can shoot that thing just as fast as I can my BAR . Both are 270 cal

I kept up.  Most of my success is attributed to being in the right stand at the right time and I rarely needed more than the first shot. I hunted with a Winchester Midel 70 on 30-06.  The action was smooth as glass and it was more accurate than I was.

I hear ya . When it comes to deer hunting there is nothing like hearing those dog's coming your way . I was in charge of the dog's so my job was to walk them out until we jumped one , I uselessly get a mag shot off then on the jump , lol . but I could have another in the gun in just a few seconds with the belt I wear . Then it's hall buns back to the truck and try to beat them to the next crossing and maybe kill him there if not it's off to the next crossing and so on . So much fun . After I lost father in 2010 I have not hunted with dog's but am joining a club this year that does . Stand hunting is for the birds .

Thanks for the info men , mbailey , send me that 270 info when you can .
One has to be careful when shooting the BOSS , my long time big game hunting buddy learned to stay behind me when we go to take down a running deer . He shoot's the 270 to but his does no have the BOSS on it . Sometimes I wish I can take it off from my ears ringing after a day shooting it .

You should have gotten a BOSS weight that doesnt also act as a recoil reducer, which is what causes all the xtra noise. The Browning rifles with BOSS come with two weights.

You lost me . Weights ? Someone told me here that there was a cover I could put over it some how . I got mine out of a pawn shop . Maybe why I did not get the weights ?

Stand hunting is for the birds .

I always enjoyed the solitude. Most of my stand hunting has been with bow, and most of that is scrape hunting.

I dont just set up a stand. I try and pattern the buck, barring that I set up on high ways from bedding to feeding areas. I like taking a Doe or two cause I love venison,most of all the corn fed variety we have up here. I stand hunt on the ground and play wind and scent. People would be amazed at how close Ive had deer walk by me while im on the ground. Its the ultimate thrill.

Hunting deer with dogs? By golly a kind of hunting Ive never done. How would a lever gun with Ghost sights do for that?

The "weight" is the thingamajig" at the end of the barrel that screws on and off and can be set to different settings. The settings control barrel Harmonics, or barrel "vibration" which gives you better shot to shot accuracy. A recoil reduction is only a secondary help and not much a one either. Shooting a .270 is nothing, you dont need a recoil reduction.

Here http://www.browning.com/customerservice/qna/detail.asp?id=107 read it from the Horses mouth. The BOSS is what allows me to shoot like this with a .338 Win Mag and custom reloads of my own making. The second group is the centered one after I made a slight adjustment on windage with my Vari-X-lll.


Notice how I wrote down a 5.2 setting for the BOSS?

You would love to hunt with dog's . It's all action ! Get's the old blood pumping when you hear them coming .
When I had my club I had guy's bring and shoot all kinds of gun's but you really need something in simi auto to get more lead down range . Like in a 30-06 / 243 / 270 .

Nice , I guess mine has the weight then . I like the Less recoil means quicker follow-up shots . Thanks for the link .

Nice

Buy a second BOSS, the one thats only the weight. Learn how to use it and hone your reloads to your setting. Im philosophically against shooting long on big game cause I think its slob hunting and treasure our game to much. But this guy twitched right when I was letting go at a make able 350 yrds and I hit him an inch to far back. He was dead in 10 mins but we were close to a property line and didnt want to lose the meat to the damn neighbor "CO. is funny about that". So I had to take a long 2nd shot on him while he was moving with a hand loaded 225 grn Swift A-frame. I hit him right where shoulder meets neck at a lasered 475 yrds and tumbled him 100 yrds down a mountain slope.

Knowing that load, the rifle, and the BOSS, put this Bull in the freezer. Thats what handloading does for you. It gives you an intimate knowledge of both your ammo and your rifle.

Very cool !!!

[Flench]

Oh , I see now after watching the video . My BAR 270 has the Muzzle Brake on it . I mite need to invest in the conventional Brake and knock down on the blow back . It's so bad I have broke a side mirror on my truck from shooting out of it . Then I had the blow back to take some paint off the hood of my truck from laying across it .

Very nice

That'll be strictly up to the powers that be. in other words if your employer says no, then it's no.  but I think in the last 13yrs they may have eased up a bit.  that is definitely one question to ask at the time of interview.

For sure .

Personally i dont use a muzzle break on any of my rifles. My herring is totally shot and really cant stand a blast back from any deer rifle.

I did reload but i have gotten away from super accurate shooting. We have been pig hunting so much that picking up cases isn't practical. I normally buy a case of 270 remington green box once a year and its plenty accurate. Shot a small pig last week on a south texas hunt at 648 yards. I use a AAC magnum can and have shortened the barrel to 20 inchs on my 700. I also use this can on very rifle i hunt with.

Everyone needs to purchase a suppressor as quick as possible. I wish my father would have bought me one back in the day. Ringing in the ears 24/7 suxs. Sold my ABOLT 300 win mag because of the boss at the end. Other than that it was a good gun just super long.
