Brush vs. Open Country Guns
Posted by John under: hunting .
So you watch a few shows on the Outdoor Life Network and you’ve got a stack of Fish & Game magazines above the toilet in the half-bath. I suppose that makes you an expert and you’re ready to hit the back country? Not quite. First you’ve got to choose the right weapon for the hunt. Although there are many variables to consider when choosing a weapon the environment in which you plan to hunt is a good way to narrow down your choices. In this episode, Crazy Jim introduces you to his two favorite guns and, in between yelling profanities at the camera man, explains the differences between a weapon built for brush hunting and and one for the open country.
Of course, Crazy Jim is rarely right about anything, so if you don’t agree with his recommendation of the 35 Remington for brush hunting, or the Browning A-Bolt 270 Winchester for the open country…well then you can go to hell! Just kidding. We’d love to hear what you would recommend in our comments section.

Hey, I Bought a Remington 700 30.06 with a scope just for shooting targets at 100 yds. I have very little experience with guns. The a-holes at the store won’t even talk to you about how to sight it in unless your an experienced murder junkie! I can’t stand gun store snobs. Can you do a video on how to sight your rifle? In layman’s terms.

See this guy up above with the 30-06? Thats a man. With a man gun. Remember that conversation we had floatin the Trukee drunk one day? Real men use 30-06 and .308
