Howa Carbon Fibre Stock (Stockys) Arca Rail
You are correct on the carbon olive. The Cerakote is a FDE gen2? The guy threw it in a batch he was already doing. Said it was not uv reflective or something. -
Considering selling my Swaro ATX and getting a Leupold GR 12-40...am I crazy?
The Henny isn't the end all be all spotter. I had a Henny and a Leupold GR and I grabbed the Leupold if I was going to the field 90% of the time. Not saying the Leupold was better then the Henny, just saying the Henny didn't offer enough extra to justify the extra weight and bulk for my pack... -
NXS 2.5-10x42 or RS 1.2 2.5x15
I guess I'll go against the grain here. I think the nxs 2.5-10x42 is my favorite general purpose hunting scope and if I could only have 1 that would be it. I have several others including much higher power scopes and I think the highest power I've ever used on game is 9x with my high power FFP... -
Barrel diameter for accuracy with a suppressor
If you don't know the guy who owns LRI, Chad Dixon, also ran the custom shop for Remington and Dakota Arms. He is very skilled. I have 3 rifles from him. Including 2 Win m70's. -
Barrel diameter for accuracy with a suppressor
Truing the action will add very little to the accuracy. It is probably worth having the primary extraction timed though. If you do have your r700 worked on Longriflesinc.com does great work and had very quick turn around times. I would guess you will end up with a more accurate rifle with a... -
Howa Mini for 223 and 6ARC...which stock/chassis?
I ordered a oryx youth and a Stockysstocks vg carbon during last black friday trying to find a good stock for my kids. I also shortened the factory poly stock. Out of those 3 the Stockysstocks is the boys favorite. I added a SRS Hunters rail and it seems like a good stock for the $400. I did... -
AnTi Action, Failure to Feed.
It's too late now, but wouldn't using a magazine with a binder plate fix the issue too? I have actions that require mags with binder plate to do the same thing. If I try to use the longer mags the tips with jam the same as yours. -
Barrel diameter for accuracy with a suppressor
Like most of what everyone already said. The supressor is acting like a huge tuner. If you aren't getting baffle strikes you are just seeing the effects of that. The thickness of a barrel helps support the weight and may help with barrel drooping but my light barrels shoot just fine. I would... -

Yes. I've started it. Forgive me but I'm trying to find corroborating information. I'm not trying to discount you. But I going to try and find impartial data. What I've found on YouTube showed significantly less penetration. I'll keep looking since it's interesting. I am working through that... -

As far as the 223 argument I've tried finding penetration testing on gel and seeing 9-11" in a lot of testing on YouTube for the 77gr tmk. I would not be comfortable with that with big game unless I was only shooting CNS or broadside. I know it will work to kill game, but the fact is it's... -

I think we are on the same page. I was pointing out that the variable in Newtons law was time. IDK if you've see the Backstop testing for his recoil pad, but yes I was saying that my kids are essentially the recoil pads in his testing. Yes, their body soaks up the recoil. This is a graph that... -

What range will you be hunting with him? The 300BO is a pretty short range cartridge. I have mine loaded with 125gr ballistic tips for hunting. I'm falling below the reccomend expansion velocity at 180yds. I really like the Howa mini I picked up for the boys. I would probably reccomend the howa... -

So this is where i disagree a little. The recoil squishes to slow the energy transfer from rifle to shooter. If it's to hard it transfers it to fast and you feel it more. If it's too soft you are not stopping the rifle until it's all the way compressed and again transfers it to the shooter... -
Kids rifle manifesto
yes, we both agree. The gun after it has fired the bullet is now moving backwards at a constant velocity regardless of who is shooting it and has a . And this is the force that we feel as recoil. So lets both agree that the gun will stop quicker with the bowling ball since it has a larger mass... -

I'm trying to look around for more information on TBI and concussions from shooting. The only studies I've found are about braked 50bmg's. If you could please share so studies I'd be grateful. I've played college football and I've been exposed to all that stuff. So I try to be cognizant of it. I... -

The force needed to stop an object (rifle) is the mass devided by the time to slow it to zero. So playing with 100% hypothetical numbers a 8lb rifle that stops in 1 second takes twice as much force to stop as a 8lb rifle that stops in 2 seconds. With recoil we are talking about way less then a... -

I agree whole heartedly with this. And Have similar experiences -
Kids rifle manifesto
That's kind of what I'm saying. The way you perceive recoil is the same as saying felt recoil. The faster you stop the rifle moving backwards with cause a sharper recoil pulse. Given a smaller person moves with the gun more the recoil pulse will be longer thus lessens the recoil pulse. I'm... -

https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/223-ammo-law-enforcement-operations That study concluded a 77gr bullet penetrates 10-18" and retains 10-30% of its weight. Quartering away 10" may not be enough penitration to reach the vitals. So you risk making a non-immidiate lethal shot... -
Kids rifle manifesto
Just some random thoughts on this subject. I have 3 boys who all shoot and are all pretty proficient. Physics says that a object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force. Which means the way a 200lb man perceives recoil is not the same way a 80lb kid perceives recoil. The...
