Noob questions [about weapons]

[BearJohnson]

I am mission oriented...
I have all "mission weapons" except the 30-30, cableback bow, 308 rival, 303 brit, and 340 weatherby...
SOooo I am hard put to buy non-mission weapons.

1) Is the "Primal" better in any way than the standard 12 pump?

2) Does a camo weapon add ANY camo towards critters?
(arctic camo specifically)

3) Is the "Plinkerton" ANY better/faster than the Grasshopper in any way?
(Other than the better scope options)
(Hopefully they will UN-NERF the .22 LR - OR - add "Stinger" type ammo that is as hard hitting as the .22 LR used to be)

4) Is the "scout rifle" better in any way to the 300 or 30-06?
( knock down power, etc... so far - and probably NOT going to have missions )

5) How does the Pulsar or Red Dragon bow differ from the snakebite/parker?
(also compare to the tenpoint and reverse draw X-bows)

Thanks for your input.

No. They are identical

No they don't

Yes, Plinkington has a shorter spook distance

4) Is the "scout rifle" better in any way to the 300 or 30-06?

Those other guns are bigger rounds, but the Scout is more versatile with the animal range because of the two ammo types. Just know that when prone, it automatically deploys a bipod which can sometimes make it hard to shoot up or down big angles.

5) How does the Pulsar or Red Dragon bow differ from the snakebite/parker?

Red Dragon is a Parker reskin. Pulsar is a different bow altogether. The Parkers have slightly less power, but can be fitted with a rangefinder sight, while the Pulsar can be fitted with a 5-pin sight.

Thanks for your input.

Ok to complement.

4) I think you are comparing oranges and apples here, the .300 is a high power one shot rifle, great all around and great for long distances one shot kills, also my personal choice for the "one shot rule" in BCKidd competitions, the 30-06 is another style, great knocking power, but more oriented to mid-close distance into herds, it use a limited zoom scope and can deliver many fast shots, so they are tools made for different kind of hunts. Now i dont have the Scout, but i dont think that can be better than the .300 at what the .300 do great, and with the tripod included its more oriented to take precise shots at medium game, not a happy trigger weapon like the 30-06 either, so the 3 weapons are good, they can get the job done, but they are different in the way they get the job done.

5) Red dragon is a Parker Python, so the difference is the same like between PP and the other compounds, there are threads abut that, but in resume is something like this. Snakebite is the heavy hitter, but has more noise, Pulsar has little less power and less noise, PP less power, less noise than the others, the difference in power is not really an issue if you aim well, and since every arrow shot is lethal anyway the thing becomes a matter of preference, they have different scopes choices(not the Snakebite), and the Pulsar got a quiver that make it slow to recharge but fast to aim.

Compared to Xbow, the compounds are less noisy, but cant be used prone, power is lower but not so much, depend on aiming too, and again every arrow hit is lethal anyway.

Thanks folks!
