They are an invasive species.

Lion fish are nowhere near native to FL waters let alone the entire Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. The State allows us to remove them with extreme fun. They are tasty. But they destroy our reefs and native fish populations.

"With extreme fun" bahahaha

Same deal as smashing all those grass carp or whatever in Taupo the other day

I didn't read they were introduced, good old humans fucking shit up again

He must be trying to up his daily posts in some faint hope in closing the gap with Rushy.

You are definitely a bunny loving, tree hugging card carrying Greenie Gibo.

Ah well just as well they're tasty, unlike fucking grass carp and rock snot

I watched a doco last week about lion fish. They are deadly venomous and had ruined the fishery in the area the doco was about. The local fisherman couldn't survive any more but some English fisherman went there and caught a bunch and ate term. The locals were scared of them, looked like real bad news.

Agreed, I'd like to see them get in the water with them with just a knife and do it, then maybe they'd be tough

Well I had been thinking of up grading my old BSA Monarch 30 06 with something new and stainless. I couldn't afford anything to fancy and after much searching and reading on Goggle I decided on a Ruger American in 30 06. Most reviews gave the thumbs up for this rifle so I thought I would go with that one. It arrived yesterday and we got it set up with a Nikon Monarch 2.5 x 10 x42 scope. I had loaded up some 180 gr Noslar BT and Accubonds with a max load of 57grs of AR 2209. All up with a loaded mag and sling and scope it weighs 3.6kg.
Today it wasn't raining so I took it out for a shot and to get it zeroed. First up at 25yds I put two Winchester factory PP 150 gr touching and a 180 gr slightly above. I moved out to about 100 yds and fine tuned it with the 180 gr Noslar hand loads. I moved to another target and the shot printed 1.75 inch high for a 200 yds zero I then reset the turrets to zero then wound the turret out to it's max to see what moa I had left. I have 32 which will get me to about 1000 yds but the 1000 ft pounds energy runs out at about 900yds so I probably would never use it over 600- 700 yds on game.
After dialing back to zero I fired another shot and it printed very close to the other, real happy with both rifle and scope.
I tried one shot at 340 yds and it impacted a little high which would be explained by the extra speed my loads are doing( MOA chart worked out for muzzle velocity of 2700 not 2827 fps)
This must be what they call a fast rifle as 2827 fps from a 22 inch barrel with a 180gr bullet isn't to bad at all. Recoil is stiff but manageable and the trigger brakes at 3 pounds even. The only minor problem seems to be the magazine with the odd round miss feeding if I work the bolt slowly.

Looks like you're onto a winner. Those Noslers are supposed to be superb on game even at slightly slower velocities, and I've found them to be very accurate too.
