    Sure you could have a lot of fun and probably blaze twice as many goats in the same amount of time with an ar15 or similar I just don't know that it would've changed much for me other than maybe using twice as much ammo.
    Actually next time I go I want to take my 7mm rem mag and try for some 700yd + goats just for fun
    Danny, I don't won't to sound like a wet blanket, but please practice on paper/steel out to those distances first. Goats,or any animal ,aren't to be used for target practice. Nothing worse than a wounded animal not being able to be dispatched ethically

    Congrats on gaining yourself a great head though. Hard yakka to get it makes it more of a trophy.
