The aluminum waters are also very light compared to accurate mags as well.
I also havnt had issues with accurate mags. They are just bigger and heavier.
If the Hawkins works post pictures
I’d buy a 8twist 22-250 as a donor. You can likely sell that barrel to someone wanting a 22 creed, may even be able to line someone up.
6mm spotter blanks are hard to come by right now. Might drive my decision if I were you.
Personally I’d buy a donor, and barrel blank, and send it off to...
I should have specified. 2017/2018 was the last you had an easy draw, and possible leftover deer combo.
2020 they started selling every doe tag available, which was a shit load. Does determine population. That’s where Montana went wrong.
We are just seeing the aftermath of that now

I can’t speak for the hnt26. But I do have an ACC. The smallest, best mag imo is the waters rifleman aics mags, not to be mixed up with the standard tikka mags. They seat very tight and feed well.

Stock cracked. They just glued it back together and sent it back.
I’m anti CA but I also had one that I spent too much on.

Want bigger bucks? Super easy.
Shut down half the roads through their habitat. Especially lower range where they rut and winter.

Or hunters can just keep bickering with each other. That’s not getting us anywhere.
Wanted to do the same last year but it wasn’t worth 75$ to me either.
Iv still got the jaw if you find some people to reduce the cost. I don’t remember but if I do it was like 75 for up to 3 animals or something
I tried that too. Wasn’t happy with the results. I havnt used the beads or graphite in years.
Alpha is pretty good out of the box when it comes to physical dimensions. Much better the lapua or Peterson in that regard.
