500 yards is my 300 Win Mag. It will do that distance but is capable of longer distance but the optics would then cost more than the rifle. My land is only 300 yards long. Up close, as in 200 yards is my AR 15. In my home is a Glock 35 as my main defense weapon inside my home. Tactile light, and laser and day glow sights.
I have never raised a firearm in anger and wish not to do so. Invade my most peaceful land and threaten me I will use my not small skills to kill you if it is legal. I have been shooting since a small boy
I love my Texas!!!!

If you have been shooting since a kid those are not small skills. Just make it lethal and quick.
Here, where I live, we have had the usual druggies go out on the prowl once in a while and the cops showed up at the neighbors place to do the report. He told all of us that the best way to handle that is for one of us to get out a shotgun and lay into them. Said that they laugh at the cops, but are scared shitless of us people taking pot shots at them.
GD California and their three strikes law. The SOBs get two strikes in CA and move across the border and set up shop here and in NV.
I am sorry..I misread that as small skills.
Anyway, I come from the UP of Michigan. And us Highland Yankees, as my wifes granny used to call us, can hit a gnats eye at a long ways off. She was from Mississippi and lived in Port Arthur TX and then moved to San Marcos. Wife still has all her cousins on that side living in TX..
A Highland Yankee is a Scot, or a Finlander, or an Irishman. We dont include the French in that though.
