8 loaded, 12 fired, factory original 7mm Dakota rounds with correct head stamp and in Dakota cartridge box. Would like to get $80 shipped. Will trade for 300 or 330 Dakota ammo, 7mm STW, 220 Swift, or 204 Ruger ammo.
Alternatively if anybody has a 7mm Dakota chambered rifle they're interested...
I think you're headed in the right direction! Based on your goals, I'd recommend considering the Kimber Montana with a 5R rifled 22 inch long, fluted barrel, chambered in 284 Win. I've long thought that would be nearly the ideal setup for lightweight, plenty of power, flat shooting, and...
Really depends on how far out you're reaching. I'm using a 6mm Remington setup currently in a bolt gun. Far from ideal. I'd like to switch to an AR10 243 platform eventually, but have too much ammo to burn through on my current 6mm to make it worth while for now.
As a newbie on this site, I don't think changing the post count limit is super helpful. I found it incredibly irritating on 24 HCF, lost out on a couple decent deals that I wanted to buy because of it. Scammers are definitely getting better every day. Gotta have your defences up constantly now...
Haven't built it yet, but a AR10 seems ideal to me. Running a 6mm Rem bolt gun with my thermal currently and follow up time on pigs is less than ideal to say the least.
All depends on what you want to do with it, the absolute lightest barrels seem to be CF. For the money, I'd go fluted as that will give better heat dissipation for range days. Just my opinion, have owned several fluted barrels but only played with the CF stuff, never owned.
Running the Thermion 2 Pro without the LRF. Really regret not spending the extra cash up front for the LRF. Other than that it works great, visibility is good enough to identify hogs very clearly out to 300 yards so far at the Texas ranch I hunt on. Would highly recommend something with a built...
Anybody been watching or holding ALPP? Getting set for a run over the last week or so, updated filings are due by the 20th I believe. MMs appear to be clearing their books last week judging by trading patterns.
