Deer on shot on my family land in 2014. Killed him with a browning abolt 270 with a cheap Simmons scope and 130gr win PowerPoints . Got the gun in 5th grade for Christmas in 99. Killed tons of animals with it. This was before I knew of Rokslide and what a good scope was. lol
Unfortunately this...
Just got back a tikka 6creed back that was having accuracy issues. (I’ve got another thread on that).
When I put my YHM resonator on it, groups open up to literally 3-4 inches at 100 yards. Without the can it’s getting consistent sub MOA groups. I’ve got 3 of these resonators and have tried...
I’m really not following you…. You want a scope that cost under 1k and isn’t Chinese right ?
I’d suggest reading a little about the scope evaluations on here and make a decision after that
At one point I had 3 Vx5hd’s in 3-15 because dang the “glass” looked so good and that made in Merica gold ring sure looked pretty on my rifles…. I felt like I was constantly chasing zero and just attributed it to taking my suppressors on and off and it slightly affecting my POI. Got paranoid...
Every other barrel maker charges $100 bucks for “accuracy” testing but then can’t get any additional info out of the “accuracy” tester because he’s a 3rd party guy and a supposed recluse ?…..
I’d save your time and money by staying away from Preferred. I sent a barreled action back to them for accuracy issues the 1st week of December and I’m still waiting to get it back. After getting charged the $100 for “accuracy testing” and paying for shipping I could have just gone with a more...
Sheeeesh. It’s easy to armchair quarterback and say what to do . I know how much a 120lb wounded hog comming at you can rattle you, so I can’t imagine how anyone would react under that much pressure.
honest question….. in a situation like that what’s the best gun to have?? It looks like the guy...
I’ve been on pretty much all the forums and this is the one I feel like I’ve learned the most from. Pretty much the only forum I visit now. But I shoot short suppressed tikkas, TMK’s, trijicons and mavens…. So maybe I’m compromised from drinking the cult koolaid
Yep. Same boat as you. We shoot a lot of stuff out of Kawasaki mules on the run…. I’m not saying the 77gr TMK’s don’t flat out kill… but I’ve had better luck with recovery’s on less than ideal shot placement when shooting “soft” bullets out of 6creeds and 308s
Bump for you. I’d continue to look at options other than preferred. They have a rifle that I sent them back and It has been a royal pain in the ass dealing with them
I’ve read the whole thread and jumped on the 77gr tmk bandwagon. Shoot them in a 18” tikka 223 and a 18” tikka 22-250. Even have trijicon and maven scopes now (this forum is expensive for me). It’s a mean little green bullet and a kills remarkably well…. But like you, I’m in Texas & where I live...
