Re: Kipplauf hunting
Great list of videos I really enjoy them. I am also going javelina Hunting first of February but was going to use my 308/12 gauge combo because I also hope to do quite a bit of predator calling. Now I am thinking I should bring the 308 Stutzen along. Bob which rifle will you be using for the javelina?

Re: Kipplauf hunting
I'll be using my K95 .22 Hornet shooting the 45 grain .224 Sierra Hornet on top of 12.8 grains of Lil'Gun. It should be perfect for Javelina. I've killed lots of the them with my bow (compound, recurve, and longbow), one with my 1911 45 ACP and one with my 50 cal Muzzleloader but never shot one with a rifle yet. My boys have shot lots with rifles when they were young but now hunt them with archery gear primarily. Although one of my son's Timmy, the Marine will be going with me on this hunt with his M16. He killed his first Javelina with a Chipmunk .22 magnum.MM wrote:Great list of videos I really enjoy them.

Re: Kipplauf hunting
I have never hunted them before, but I thought I would use the 308 with the 110 ttsx bullet because I can use it for javelina,hogs and predators. Maybe the 308 is a little overkill but it simplifies things because I have a shotgun too,and I only have to bring one gun. Now I am thinking I should bring the Stutzen along it is also a 308 but then I am hauling more stuff and I have a meeting in Dallas right after the hunt. I love the Stutzen and have not shot anything with it yet so I might just have to bring it. BD14 might be another good choice for you.

Re: Kipplauf hunting
Yes, I had thought about the BD14 and .222 barrel, at one time thought I would like to use it, but I haven't shot anything with the K95 for a while and it is such a joyful gun I decided it should be it's turn. Most of the Javelina hunters in Arizona just shoot them with their deer rifle whatever that may be, .243, 308, 30-06 or 7mm Rem Mag are some of the popular ones I've seen used on them. My granddaughter shot her first one last year with a 6.5 Creedmoor they all work.

Re: Kipplauf hunting
You are fond of that little hornet aren't you, then again its not even mine and I'm fond of it too.
But its a very nice little rifle that one and has done everything you have asked it to in the past.

Perhaps subconsciously you too think rims are best in break action guns after all...

Re: Kipplauf hunting
I love it but it is going to take quite a bit of practice to get used to. It is so light and zero weight out front,but a fun gun to hunt with. I need to work on getting up to my standards with this gun,in the interim I am keeping distances short.
