    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    It came as a surprise to (edit not you, got the person wrong sorry, the other guy) perhaps. But CRWM fought this both in the legislature and game commission when it was attempted in those arenas and won. This ballot initiative was the anti’s last ditch attempt to get the ban and folks were aware...

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Bullets coming apart in flight, generally speaking, is a twist rate vs muzzle velocity issue of too many RPMs and also exacerbated by bore condition (rough bore damaging the jacket and then over spinning). It’s something to keep in mind regardless of caliber.

    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    Here’s hoping it got stomped. I’m out of state today but voted last week already.

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    I’m not in the small caliber camp, but I gotta say I am scratching my head how that situation could have physically occurred. There was a mass of a bullet left (vs it somehow truly blowing up) that somehow was stopped in a very short distance against tissue and thin bone, I don’t understand what...

    Tikka M695 rebarrel?

    Yes, though a couple of us have been wanting stockys to measure an action to see about inletting for it. Yes I have a couple 3 and a 5rd mag for it.

    Tikka M695 rebarrel?

    I had a M695 rebarreled to a 280AI but had a smith chamber it vs prefit. The mags allow a longer length so it works better with that cartridge than a T3 would. They’re a bit heavier.

    Yes, I got a late Dec order 2 weeks ago.

    7mm-08 vs 7saum...Hear me out.

    I assume you realize you're probably running north of 70ksi to get the 162eldm to 2775fps from a 20" barrel with varget? No judgement if its working out for your needs, mainly just flagging that isn't likely gonna be the norm for folks to get that much speed with varget even from the ackley 7-08.

    7mm-08 vs 7saum...Hear me out.

    I’m assuming that’s with one of the faster double base powders? I’m running h4350 and likely low 60ksi for pressure.

    Enticer S Ti or Jolene S

    The jolene you can't change the front caps to gain more suppressor on smaller calibers, depends if you care about that or not, but its 1oz lighter. Silencer shop and capital armory (they carry the S Ti also) carry the jolene S and don't have extra FFL transfer fees involved. Bauer also carries...

    WTB Tikka take off barrel .243 or 22-250

    Not sure what you’re looking for specifically but JA outdoors also has a 22-250 barrel takeoff 22” 1:8 stainless listed.

    7mm-08 vs 7saum...Hear me out.

    I didn’t want to give up the velocity in a short barrel 7-08 so I went 284win. 162eldm at 2700fps from 19” barrel.

    Over Barrel vs End of Barrel Suppressor

    What materials? The lighter and more expensive ones here are often titanium for weight reduction and longevity due to the extra costs of the tax stamp and historical long wait. If you don’t have the extra ATF costs/wait then you can start making them from lower cost material combinations which...

    Over Barrel vs End of Barrel Suppressor

    Numerous folks on here have them, including me and I’m pleased with it. The Raptor 8 with a 3” reflex is the common configuration folks tend to get to balance weight/reduction/length. If you want the most reduction the raptor 10 with 5” reflex. The can be used without the reflex too if you want...

    WTB Tikka take off barrel .243 or 22-250

    UM has some 22-250 barrels for sale, you’d need to call and ask the twist rate it looks like. https://www.unknownmunitions.com/product/factory-tikka-barrels/

    First time eating bear…great success!

    Good thing digital meat thermometers these days are accurate and not very expensive. ;)

    Used swarovski pricing

    You call to register it in your name, IF the prior owner had it registered they need to verify the serial number is released to you is all. If they never registered it then that isn't an issue. I don't think it will be swarovision, it'll just be fresh lens/coatings. There might be a more...
