Dog gun.

Q: I have been thinking about a prairie dog hunting trip for sometime. I am a farmer from southern Ohio Wholesale Oklahoma City Thunder Jerseys , which means finances will be a major issue. The first question I have is about choice of caliber. I was thinking either a .223 Remington or a .204 Ruger. I understand that the .204 is flatter shooting but costs about twice as much per round. The second question is about firearms. I am a left-handed shooter which mean finding a good used bolt action is going to be a problem. I am trying to decide between an H&R ultra rifle and a left-hand bolt action Savage Model 12. I know this is like comparing a Chevette to a Corvette, but price is an issue, so is the slower rate of fire and poorer trigger of the H&R worth the extra expense of the Savage? I understand a compact spotting scope with variable power to 20X is recommended, but what other gear would you suggest? Range finder Wholesale Orlando Magic Jerseys , good binocs, bipod, etc.?

A: If finances are a problem, the choice of caliber becomes clear (unless you're a reloader Wholesale Philadelphia 76ers Jerseys , in which case it doesn't matter) and the .223 is the clear winner. You'll be shooting a lot on a good dog hunt and you should practice a lot with your new rifle before you take it hunting. I would look at Black Hills Remanufactured .223 as a high-quality alternative to factory new ammo. Black Hills comes in a variety of bullet weights for vermin shooting. Winchester USA Varmint is another good choice but the bullet weights are more limited.

The only caveat is the .204 Ruger is a hoot because the rifle rises very little in recoil and the results of your shot can be seen through the best spotting scope.

As to the gun, don't sell the little H&R short. I tested a heavy-barrel .223 for my former employer and found it to be an excellent rifle. The trigger pull was crisp (aLbeit a might heavy) and I was able to regularly shoot 12" groups at 100 yards with low-cost Winchester USA 55-grain SPs.

I also tested a Savage heavy-barreled bolt action also in .223. It would group at 12" at 100 yards, too, and did so with a wider variety of ammo. As for a scope Wholesale Phoenix Suns Jerseys , the bugaboo is you really do get what you pay for and you don't want to get too cheap here. A Weaver 6-20X would be a good choice as would a Bushnell Elite 6-24X. It'll pay to get the best glass you can afford.

As for other gadgets, if you choose the .223, you will be limited to about 300 yards or a little more, so the money might be better spent on the optics. Perhaps more important would be a good portable shooting bench and rest. Midway USA (573445-6363 Wholesale Portland Trail Blazers Jerseys , www.midwayusa) has them for sale for less than $50 from San Angelo. A bipod is OK for walk-about hunting, but a good rest will allow you to achieve greater accuracy because you'll be able to bag the front and rear of the stock.

Yang Yuanqing was never afraid of declaring war on the strongest enemies.


After beating Hewlett-Packard Co to take the No 1 position in the global personal computer industry, Yang Wholesale Sacramento Kings Jerseys , the chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group Ltd, can't wait to challenge Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.


"Traditional PC vendors are no longer our top rivals nowadays," said the engineer-turned-executive. "Our next step is to challenge Apple and Samsung in the portable consumer electronics sector."


Over the past five years, Lenovo eroded other PC manufacturers' market share bit by bit Wholesale San Antonio Spurs Jerseys , reaching the top position in China first and then in the rest of the world. Yang is determined to copy this strategy on a new battleground.


The biggest campaigns Lenovo launched in 2013 were for its smartphone and tablet series.


The Beijing-based company invited basketball sensation Kobe Bryant and Hollywood star Ashton Kutcher to endorse its high-end smartphone and tablet products in a bid to lure young Chinese buyers.


The company came out with most of its flagship gadgets just before Apple unveiled its iPhone 5S and iPad Air devices.


Lenovo has sold 1 million Yoga-branded tablets since the product's launch in October, according to Yang, who also plans to bring Lenovo's consumer electronics to developed markets such as the United Kingdom and the United States.


The company sees the smartphone market as a stepping stone to enter other mobile consumer electronics markets because of its popularity in both emerging and developed markets.


According to a Gartner report, Lenovo was the world's third-largest smartphone manufacturer in terms of market share as of the third quarter of 2013.


The company sold nearly 13 million smartphones around the world Wholesale Toronto Raptors Jerseys , taking more than 5 percent of global market share.


Yet the Chinese company still lags far behind Apple and Samsung in terms of shipments.


Asia-Pacific markets are poised to post huge increases in smartphone sales as more buyers abandon feature phones for lower-end smartphones.


"Consumers in China and Latin America are rushing to replace their old models with smartphones," said Anshul Gupta, principal research analyst at Gartner.


About 48 percent of Chinese mobile phone owners will use a smartphone by the end of 2014, Forrester Research Inc estimated. The figure is expected to increase to 64 percent by 2017.


In China Wholesale Utah Jazz Jerseys , Lenovo is the second-largest vendor after Samsung, according to local research firm Analysys International.


Among the 93 million smartphones sold in the third quarter, Lenovo controlled 11.4 percent of market share, while Samsung had 18.1 percent.


Liu Jun Wholesale Washington Wizards Jerseys , vice-president of Lenovo, said the company is eyeing an even bigger market share outside China.


Lenovo sees the rise of emerging markets as a golden opportunity for it.
