Anyone hunting with the .277 Fury? Need some advice!

So, for a serious hunt, do you think I should invest in a .277 Fury or stick with my trusty .30-06? I love the stopping power of the .30-06 but hate the recoil.

I’d say go for the .277 Fury then! It’s a perfect compromise between recoil and performance. Plus, new tech in ammo makes the Fury very effective.

I think there’s a level of excitement with the Fury that’s hard to ignore! It feels fresh compared to classic calibers.

I wonder how well the .277 Fury performs in rain or cold conditions compared to something like the .270 Winchester. Any experiences?

I’ve found the .277 Fury to hold up well in tricky weather. Higher velocity leads to better performance in tougher conditions. It’s worth a try!

It’s interesting how some shooters debate the merits of newer calibers like the Fury with older ones. Do you think it’ll replace them eventually?

Only time will tell! But honestly, I think there’s room for both. Each caliber has its place in hunting, depending on the conditions and game.

I’ve been using the .277 Fury for a while now. I recommend the Sig Sauer Cross rifle. It’s lightweight and super accurate for hunting.

That sounds great! Have you paired it with a specific scope?

For scopes, I’d suggest the Vortex Viper PST. It’s durable and has excellent glass – perfect for early morning hunts!

I second that! I’ve had great experiences using Vortex optics.

What about weight considerations? I’ve heard the .277 Fury can get heavy with certain setups.

You’re right, aburns. Some setups can be weighted down. Going with a lightweight rifle and scope can really enhance your hunting experience.

I think it’s ultimately about balance. A good sling can alleviate some weight distribution issues too, especially on long treks.

Good point! What type of sling do you recommend?

I prefer a two-point sling, it’s more versatile and keeps the rifle secure while you’re moving.

Never thought about that; I usually use a single-point sling. Good to consider!

Also, consider the features that enhance your experience, like a smooth bolt action for quick follow-up shots.

Absolutely, and I wouldn’t dismiss the potential need for a muzzle brake if you’re dealing with heavier recoil.
