I think I had a similar thread to this recently. I see the Selway and Metcalf on camofire.com for reasonable deals pretty regularly. My Metcalf will be here Monday 😁
I own an early 43, after a spat with Sig customer service, I got rid of my 938 and went with the 43. I put a few thousand rounds through it suppressed and unsuppressed, all running reliably. I put some night sights, +2 base pads, a trigger kit, and a TLR-6 on it. My brother borrowed it in 2018...
Does the 43x have the gen 5 Glock Marksmanship Barrel (GMB) barrel in it? If so, you're clear for lead. The pre-gen 5 barrels with polygonal rifling are no-go for lead. Although there are reports of people using hard cast and some who will say they will shoot a couple mags and then clean...
New scope, new rifle, new load... where do guys near Denver go (public land) to sight in and shoot? I would like to stretch out to 500+ yards. I would like to keep it within an hour or so of the foothills. I didn't see another thread/forum for this. Thanks in advance!
I am a long ways from retirement so I don't feel like I am in the best place to give this advice... but I am a resident of Colorado and from Wyoming. For my retirement planning, a lot of consideration is going to state taxes and cost of living when deciding where to retire. I would dissuade you...
I recently purchased a Camp Chef SmokePro SG Wifi 24" pellet grill. The combination of the app and the 22lb pellet hopper makes it really easy to monitor from elsewhere in the house without babysitting it. Holds temp well. I had to get a couple parts from Camp Chef as they camp damaged from...
In my experience, prairie dogs are easy to shoot. Its less hunting and more shooting. A lot of landowners in Wyo will charge you to shoot them but there are still plenty on public land.
Coyotes aren't as easy... different people hunt them a little differently. If you have a good call, good...
1/2x28 threads are...curious. Those threads are typically used for 9mm or 5.56. For those calibers, I would expect a 5/8x24. Good looking rifle though, looking forward to reviews on it. Now that they are made in Wyoming, I feel obligated to get one being from there. Almost makes me wish I didn't...
Laradise has a small shop on the east side of 287 as you're coming into town from the south side. Check out Sportsman's Warehouse in Cheyenne. There's also a small shop on the south side of Dell Range I used to buy reloading components at years ago. Unsure if it's still there.
As far as bullet...
If you like supporting Wyo business, instead of a brake, give Thunder Beast some of your money and trade that Winchester in for a Weatherby. :) I can't seem to find a list of dealers in Wyoming that have Maven optics. I know a handful of places along I-25 and I-90 that may stock them....just...
@Throwin Darts What is the barrel profile on that rifle?
All, I appreciate the advice! Anyone have any idea when there are typically sweet sales on Tikkas or Winchesters?
@Rokbar I already have the 300WM in a Browning X-bolt Max Long Range as the primary. This rifle is the kick around, cheaper little brother ideally.
@Wapiti1 14x1 threads on that?
Hey all, I couldn't find a thread that seemed to have the information I am after.
I am looking for a 308 to be a general purpose hunting back up rifle in the Rockies. Ideally it has...
-Short-ish 20-22" barrel that is factory threaded. Trying to balance the extra length of a can and still...
