In arizona we have all that game. I hunt javelina with a .357 magnum just fine. But for the other game I would suggest a .41 or .44 magnum. I like the .454 casull and it is a great gun, but it is really powerful and you could develop a flinch. A better bet for recoil is the .480 ruger. It is a good cartridge with good ballistics and less recoil than the .44 magnum but flatter than the .44 magnum. I don't know about .41 magnum being hard to find, I think taurus makes a few in their tracker models with ported barrels, and smith and wesson should have a model in that caliber. \nI would suggest either the .41, .44 or .480 ruger. Anything less would not be safe for deer and mountain lion or antelope at a reasonable hunting range. A .454 might be too big and uncomfortable to carry but would probably give you the longest reach. \nThe other thing is I would look at barrel lengths of 6 inches or higher. Depending on where you hunt, hunting antelope with a pistol is hard. Most people I know use a thompson center contender in rifle caliber or similar non-traditional pistol design. \nI wouldn't worry about the mountain lion, they can be taken with a .357 magnum, and have been. A .41 magnum would do fine on them too. \nThe problem with mounting a scope is the eye relief is hard to get used to, and it adds weight. I use iron sights for javelina and deer and mountain lion. I have used a scoped .44 magnum ruger for javelina and found it was a little too easy and just didn't prefer a scoped handgun. I would recommend one though if you are going for antelope, deer, or mountain lion, with only a pistol, as they are generally at longer ranges, especially in arizona. \nI usually use a rifle for mountain lion, as they are hard to spot and you need dogs really to hunt them. I don't use dogs, but spot them during the deer season and such. It is an over the counter tag. But, a pistol in the calibers above would be good protection for a mountain lion attack or protection. \nSo, depending on your hunting ranges and for a good all around caliber for the game above. I recommend at least a .41 magnum with a .480 ruger or .44 magnum preferred for the deer and antelope factor. The .454 casull is the most powerful and fulfills all but is heavy, kicks a lot, and is really loud! A .44 mag is worse than a rifle in respect to noise. The blast is alot closer to you. That is how my hearing is bad, I have a permanent ring in my left ear (tinnitus) from the .44mag ruger, the blast off the ground is loud!! That was what did it, but the years of neglect added up. Back in my day, no thought was really paid to ear protection, and now when javelina hunting or bird hunting, and during practice I always wear ear protection.\nAnother tip is always practice, shooting a couple times and then going hunting is not good. Furthermore I fully recommend the .454 casull but if you can't shoot it without flinching then it is not a good gun. With the big calibers and pistol hunting in general you will need alot more practice. You need good form and you need to get use to the drop in pistol calibers. It is a totally different ball game than the flat shooting magnums. So practice and practice, and shoot at different ranges. Here in Arizona antelope tags come around rarely and pistols require more practice.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nSounds like you have one of Roy's fine rifles. I would suggest you make the following changes to your sighting equipment. First, toss the Simmons scope. Second, replace the Weaver bases and rings with a set of either Leupold or Redfield two piece scope bases with rings. I would replace your Simmons scope with a good QUALITY scope such as a Leupold, Redfield (if you can find one), Zeiss, or perhaps Nikkon scope. Personally, I prefer fixed power scopes of 6-10 power, but your shooting use will dictate your scope need.\n\nYou have a fine rifle. Do not limit it's capabilities by selecting an inferior scope. \n\nGood luck.

ANY CENTER FIRE CARTRIDGE ABOVE A .223

Black bear are best taken (in my humble oppinion) with a .30-06 180 gr. Some good brands of ammo out there include Hornady's 180 gr with super shock Tip and Norma 200 gr oryx bonded for when you need just a bit more bang for your buck.

Personally, I prefer the TA01 ACOG 4x32 riflescope w/Full Line Red Illumination. It is set up for a max range of 800 meters (that specific range may be familiar to M16/CAR15 owners/users) with crosshairs from 100-600 meters and elipses for the 700 & 800 meter ranges. \n\nI bought mine from http://scopesnmore.com/ but the price may be a bit steep for some people. I used mine in a combat environment (and will take it with me when I go back) though, so it paid for itself the first time I had to use it. I am alive, they are not.\n\nIt is excellent for low-light operations, is waterproof to depths greater than 500 ft, is built of forged aircraft aluminum, the same material as the upper and lower receivers as the M16/CAR15, and has withstood extreme exposure to heat, sand, dust, shock, humidity, weapon racks, fellow soldiers, and such. It can be attached to multiple rail assemblies, but was specifically designed to fit onto the M16/CAR15 handle/site. I like the fact that I can still use my iron sights as well as the scope.\n\nThe scope was nearly 'dead-on' target even after traveling through the US postal service! I used a pen-style laser to bore sight the scope and made only minute adjustments when I was out on the range verifying my sights. Speaking of which: the adjustments are internal, so when they are set, it would take a HUGE amount of damage to screw up your sights! This scope is designed to take a 5 ft drop (or a tumble from the back of a 5-Ton) directly onto pavement! Check out Trijicon for full details if you want.\n\nPersonal experiences: 1) on the close-quarters combat course, the reflex sight proved second to none for speed, accuracy, and ease of acquiring the target for double-tapping and allowed me to maintain awareness of everything else around me. 2) our convoy came under fire at night just outside of Baghdad, had 2 officers with powered scopes beside me, trying to locate the enemy. I used my rifle and pinpointed the enemy fire as well as the non-hostiles between us and them. The officers couldn't make out either with their sooped-up battery-powered hunting scopes, until they borrowed my rifle and tritium-powered scope and saw what I was seeing! They called in for air support since the enemy was outside of our small arms range and copied the NSN of my scope (1240-01-412-6608 stamped on the side) down so they could requisition their own scopes!\n\nI did also buy the honeycombed Model TA57 Killflash Anti-Reflect Screen, (so as to not give away my position or tell other people I was using a scope. It works amazingly well, and is easily removed when not needed) and the Scopecoat protective cover from Devtron (this is a neoprene covering to protect the scope and reduce the dirt, grime, sand, shock, etc...associated with combat use. They make covers for all kinds of scopes!)\n\nHope my 2 cents helps you, and if you are going into a combat environment, watch your 6 and remember - don't die for your country - make the bastards die for theirs!

yeah right...i suppose green pigs swim upside down in you're world too eh? my apologies...a friend told me today that a dummy round can be inserted into the breach which has a laser pointer mounted in it to allow fine scope adjustment...i eat my words...

When purchasing the Paintball sniper guns, it is important that the following decisions are considered. Go for a Paintball sniper gun that has a clean barrel and approximately around the size of the average paintball pellets. A clean barrel will ensure that the pellets fired out of the Paintball sniper guns don't make noise and make a clean hit.\n\n Also, a clean barrel will prevent pellet breaking or pellet splashing in the gun itself. Noise is one of the key factors that come as an advantage and is an often employed strategy by sniper gun shooter, because noise emitting out of the sniper gun can prove fatalistic and may affect the stealth advantage.\n\nClick the link below to know more...\nhttp://www1.webng.com/sportsrecreation/Paintball-Sniper-Guns.html

When you say "the best", it truly depends on your definition.\nDo you mean the best, period, cost notwithstanding?\nDo you mean the best bargain?\nThe answer also depends greatly on what type of paintball you are referring to. The guns that woodsball/scenario fans lust after are different than the guns speedballers would die for.\nYou can certainly use a tourney-type electro gun for woodsball, as I do with my upp'ed Dye DM4, and you could use a Tippmann in a speedball game, but "crossing over" like that involves tradeoffs. For instance, my DM4 shoots ropes, and is as accurate as any gun made, bar none, but being electro-mechanical, I'm not wild about playing in the pouring rain, or dumping it in a puddle. A mechanical gun like a Tippmann, on the other hand, can be used for recreational speedbell, but they're not found on the tournament circuits, as they can't match the high rates of fire of the electro's (Autocockers being the exception, I suppose).\nSo, to answer your question, the best? Dye/Proto Matrixes, Ego's, Bob Long Intimidators, Smart Parts Shockers, WDP Angels are considered by most to be top-end.\nTippmann 98's and A-5's get raves among the woods/scenario set, and are bargains to boot. \nOther bargains include some of the Spyder line, and the Smart Parts Ion, which is considered to be the $300 gun that can run with the $1000 guns.\nCheck out pbreview.com and PBNation for opinions; check out your local paintball shops, and paintball parks for opinions as well.\nThe best gun? It's the one you feel the most comfortable with, and the one that most closely mathches your style of play and budget. Good luck!

I prefer the 5,56 mm AR- M4SF , fits nice, great range, easy to clean. Hits harder than a paintball gun too. At 500 Meters it's not looking good for the "target".

Practically?  Something in 7.62x51 NATO (.308 Winchester).  I like the FN FAL and AR-10 as well as the older M-14.  You have stipulated "semi-auto rifle;" there are plenty of excellent bolt-action rifles which is proprietary to the sniper rifle.  So the best semi-automatic long-range rifle is probably the Armalite AR-30 in  8.6 x 70 mm (.338 Lapua).  It shoots further and hits harder than any .223, .308 or even .30-06.  There are also .50 caliber anti-personnel rifles, but they are bulky and hard to carry.\n\nH

I have an air soft gun, but I think that a paintball gun would be better because you can see where your shot landed and you get to splat things with paint.

The biggest question is how much do you want to spend?  The second question is what type of quality do you want?\n\nI use a Zeiss Diavari 3-12x56 *T*.  That cost me a pretty penny, but it's an excellent scope, illuminated, and has a lifetime warranty.\n\nWhatever scope you decide to buy, I recommend that you get one that's illuminated.  When you are out at dusk or dawn and try to put black cross hairs on a dark body in very little light, that little red dot is a HUGE asset.

the tippmann 98 custom is the best because it is the only gun you need ever. great for beginner all the way to pro. i have one. i bought it because the people at the place where i go to said it was like hell trying to kill. it is accurate with a range of 150 ft right out of the box. i like it because you can customize the hell outta the thing and for less that an autococker you have a formidable piece of machinery. i put a stock and flatline barrel on my gun ant everyone said that they have to gang up on me to even stand a chance. and I'm just a recreational player. i want to buy a halo b hopper for it because they are able to keep up with the 15 paintballs per second fire rate. taht thing can hang in a firefight. shoot through holes slightly wider than the paintball. the best thing is that it costs around $170 dollars for the entire kit. heres the site. thats the one \n\nSource(s):\n\nwww.tippmann.com

BB guns are very accurate if you get one over 50 dollars and scopes are numerous for every brand of bb gun. most are easy to install just unscrew the bolts and put it on the rails on the top of the rifle and screw it back on. to use it fire 3-5 shots at a target. to adjust it remember that the top knob is for elevation and the side one is for left and right. Alot of scopes vary on which direction you twist the knob (clock wise or counter clockwise). Just adjust the group one "click" at a time until you are zeroed in (shooting the bullseye)
