Re: CB/SSB Radio Use - I have a few questions.
WOW! they are super nice radios but very expensive and out of my range at this time.
I see you from Texas. What do you think of the Texas Ranger CB/SSB Radios as an entry level radio?

What does freeband mean?
Is this an expensive conversion?...

NONE of the rounds you mention are worthy beyond 1000/1200 yards. The 308 would be the closest but a shot at 1500/2000 as you mention would simply be pure luck. A properly scoped 300 Wini Mag is...
