Okay, pardon my lack of enthusiasm for searching all of the old posts and discussions but can anyone tell me if they’ve had a hearing or ruling for renewing the HPR rules?
I may need to go shopping once this COVID-19 craziness passes...who am I kidding I still want to buy a .350 legend!!!!

What we have used the last 4 seasons is now permanent. |

I bought a .350 legend not long ago. Join the club, no good reason needed. It can be used on public ground too, if you hunt any.

EDIT: I considered the public land opportunity as well. I've never had the need to hunt public ground, but knowing I have the option would be nice too. I was looking at the Winchester XPR w/Vortex scope...there's a $50 manufacturer rebate right now! It's in my budsguns cart right now, I just can't get myself to pull the trigger. |

Many years ago I met up with friends prior to a deer hunt. One guy had a new gun. I asked him why he bought it and he said, "Didn't have one".

Want therefore "need"  I have a perfectly good Marlin 94 in 44Mag. I do not need a 35Rem to hunt deer here in Indiana. BUT I have wanted a 35Rem for a long time thus creating the "NEED". Along comes a Marlin 336 in 35Rem plus my birth year dom so that is what I have.  |

I bought a .350 legend not long ago. Join the club, no good reason needed. It can be used on public ground too, if you hunt any. How would you rate the recoil? More than a.243? I'm thinking about deer gun options for my girls. The .350 legend in a 180 grain load generates approximately 1762 ft lbs of energy @ the muzzle. A .243 firing a 100 grain load generates approximately 1945 ft lbs of energy @ the muzzle. I've shot both and the .350 legend might be a bit easier on the shoulder. The gun I'm shooting now is a CVA scout v2 with a Nikon Monarch 3 2.5-10x42 scope in warne rings. It weighs just under 8 lbs and is a very easy gun to shoot as far as recoil goes. Having said that, Hornady offers a 87 grain .243 load that generates approximately 1500 ft lbs @ the muzzle. Depending upon the weight of the gun, that should be easy on the shoulder as well. Hope this helps. |

It's pretty mild, I would think any kid could handle it.

I got a Rugar American Predator model with the 22" barrel. Unfortunately I haven't shot mine either. The exact model I wanted went out of stock through 2 different dealers and it didn't arrive until Thanksgiving weekend. |

I just get it if I want it. The wife is past the complaining part.
she just sees it as money in the bank and them getting worth more as time goes by.
I would like a 350L for S and Giggles.

I do the same. My wife doesnt care about what guns I bring home. I also wanted, then purchased a 350. Nice shooting little rifle. |
