Off a bench, I am not recoil sensitive. Off of sticks, on a tripod, or even in any odd position in a blind, I do not enjoy shooting the 30-06 or a bigger gun. The gun flys off the sticks or bounces around. I like shooting a 6 Creedmoor the best and having drunk the Rokslide Koolaid, I am moving...
I love small and fast. I have a 6 UM on order. I am just confused by my Elk guide and the PH for next year in Africa is dead set against a 6.5 PRC or the 6 UM. I guess I will show him Ryan's Giraffe story.
Always looking for an excuse to get another rifle. In fact I have a base Tikka 7 rem mag...
I recently shot my first Elk. The guide insisted I use a .30 cal instead of my 6.5 PRC. I obliged with my 30-06 Tikka. The big bull went 3 steps. Great day.
It started me thinking about cartridges. My 6.5 PRC is a Proof Elevation MTR 24" bbl. For me, It is the most accurate rifle I own. It...
Silencerco sells Titanium front caps that eliminate the front ports make it slightly shorter and supposedly make the Scythe even quieter. They sell the front cap in a .223 bore size as well as a .30 cal. Has anyone tried this?
Since the Scythe is shorter and lighter, albeit larger in diameter...
Unknown Munitions has high quality machining and will do cut and thread for $135. Their price on return freight is a little high but they are an excellent value.
If you are shipping a barreled action, get a small 4"x 4" box less than 30" long and you can ship it very cheaply using...
The T3x Lite is carbon steel with blueing. The Roughtech is a carbon steel action and carbon steel D18 barrel with Cerakote. The Veil series and the D18 series from Bass Pro are all stainless with Cerakote. The Roughtech is not a bad value if you consider the cost of the cerakote job, fluted D18...
Backfire just tested a Howa 1500 Superlite. The used it to design a Backstop recoil pad that fits the Stocky's Stock that comes with the rifle. I had a hunch and called Stockys to verify. The limbsaver 5/8" recoil pad is exactly the same as it is on the Rokstok. If anyone wants a really high...
It was my fault for bringing up Ryan and his desire to shoot a giraffe. You are at the core of my question and what I was really trying to ask. I always have ELD-m around for my 6 and 6.5 Creed as well as my 6.5 PRC, 308, 30-06, and 300PRC. They shoot great in all my rifles. Inside 200 yards I...
Florida allows harvesting Turkey with a rifle. I have a rifle range on the cattle ranch my friend and I own. I was out with my favorite rifle, a 6 mm Creedmoor, shooting from a bench. I noticed a nice gobbler in the pasture. Ranged him at 267 yards. Made a good shot taking out the undercarriage...
I got it for fun on the last 2 and to support UM in their unique endeavors.
Good idea on the barrel size but I think the Ace #3 is the smallest you can get and still get the 5/8" 24 thread for a suppressor.
There is a small window of opportunity where I could ship tomorrow. I leave Florida Wednesday. I bought this just recently to use as a build action for a UM Rifle and changed my mind and decided to go stainless. As stated it is brand new in the box. I have already applied for the rebate so this...
