    This is despicable... the only reason to ever physically hurt a dog like that is, if its a last resort to stop a dog from attacking either another dog or human! But, that does not mean I think he should be threatened with violence... that would be ironic. Also I don't think his family should be harmed or hurt by this. He also should not loose his entire income or ability to support his family over this. He just needs to stop and probably receive a fine for animal cruelty or what ever is fitting for that kind of treatment of dogs.

    Thank you all for your insightful comments. Now, to be brutally honest, bear will be in the bottom of the list in terms of animals I expect to be hunting for. However they do have bears in Sweden, so one never knows. We also don't have Elk in Europe (as far as I know), which I understand is another quite tough animal. So, for all intents and purposes, I will be shooting: roe, fallow, red, sika, wild boar, moose, rein deer and lastly bear - in that order (With only a very small chance of ever getting the opportunity to hunt North American Elk, Bison or Greenlandic Musk Ox (which requires a

    Good point... What I was trying to do with this inquiry, is to gain as many points of view as possible so I can by the "best" rifle for my needs. It would seem that both .308W and 30.06 will do the job of hunting all north European game. Now the question is simply which caliber, fits that Sako Bavarian Carbine the best... considering its barrel length and weight. But True... I would love to have many rifles, just as I would love to have Holland and Holland Side by side... ?

    Again thank you for your replies. All the riffle hunters I know all own multiple rifles. Ranging from 243 up to 9.3x63... And one who has a 458Win.mag for big game hunting in Africa. When I have talked to them, they pretty much say, buy multiple cheap rifles. I know in Denmark the 6.5x55 is a real popular deer cartridge. However, I get more enjoyment out of sports and hunting, when I have the "right" equipment in my hand. I very much go for certain high quality brands and models. Not that I'm snobbish, but I do very much care about what brands I do use. Same in golf, where

    I will be hunting primarily in forests, fields and meadows (for all types) I wont be hunting over bait I have never hunted with a riffle before, so I'm looking to gain my permit this year, and hopefully be able to buy a rifle in 2019. I don't like the idea of head/neck kills, but who am I to judge... yet Since it a full stocked rifle, I will not be putting any silencers or anything like that. I will probably be using some active hearing protection (peltor) On another note... It has come to my attention that a 30.06 in this shorter 20" barre

    I totally see your point but in Denmark, where I'm from there are restrictions or requirements in terms of weight of bullet and energy. Red deer, fallow and sika requires a minimum of 139gr and 2700j at 100m or minimum 155gr and 2000j at 100m. The same numbers are the Swedish requirements for moose. So that's why I'm concerned... if the riffle in question can perform to these numbers... or if they get too close, that might be what I want. But true enough, I know its about placing the shot and not like a video game where a certain gun does a certain amount of hit points damage... Tha

    In Denmark we have strict rules about wight of projectile and j at a 100m for the rifles to be legal. Therefore I need a minimum of 139gr and 2700j at 100m, or a minimum of 155gr and 2000j at 100m. This is for red deer, fallow and sika. In Sweden the same numbers apply for moose. I will by far primarily be hunting in Denmark (Roe, fallow, sika and red deer), but it would be nice to be able to take down moose. From a legal perspective a 20" .308W is enough, but my concern is that a 180gr bullet with 2300j at 100m is cutting it too close for comfort - even though its strictly legal

    Thank you for your reply... This site was pointed out to me by someone in another forum: https://rifleshooter.com/2014/12/308-winchester-7-62x51mm-nato-barrel-length-versus-velocity-28-to-16-5/ By going over the data, and looking at the difference between a 24" rifle and a 20" rifle, one looses bout 200j at 100m. So about 50j per inch of barrel from 24" down to 20". Would you consider this to be a problem... I mean a loss of about 200j compared to a 24" barrel? Also I ran the same calculations on a 30.06, using Hornady's ballistic calculator and Sako's cartridge data. What I f

    Hello everyone. I'm new here, and this place seemed to be as good as anywhere to ask my question. If my thread is posted in the wrong sub-forum, please move it. Ok, so I'm a fairly new hunter and I'm looking to buy my first rifle. Now I don't have the economy for multiple specialized rifles, so I'm looking to get a rifle which I can use for a variety of game and situations and I am looking for advice concerning this. I have been looking at the Sako 85 Bavarian carbine either as a 308W or a 30.06. I live in Denmark, so 90% of the time I will be shooting roe, fallow, sika and red deer. Ho
