    I’m giving up for now on the nonexistent 6x SWFA. I need a scope. Since I limit myself to 400 yards. Is there a good scope option with hold over reticles and not dialing turrets that the RS crew recommends ? PFA Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who has used the SWFA 10x without issues for hunting ? I want the 6X but they appear to be very difficult to find. The 10x is in stock and also in the classifieds. My shots are routinely 200 plus on deer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’m in the market for a SWFA fixed 6X if anyone has one to sell. My mid/low tier sig isn’t cutting it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2 late season doe tonight. Shots were 150 ish. 20” AR. 77 tmk. Doe all spooked so I didn’t have much time to shoot. Both bang flops. I lost both front shoulders but didn’t have to track them! I’m done shooting behind the shoulder. I much prefer bang flops ! Sorry no pics. Lungs were mush. I love...

    Old habits I guess. As a bow hunter I am just so use to tucking everything behind the shoulder. Going tomorrow again. Will aim for shoulders and report back. A bang flop would be sweet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    With the 7 mag yes absolutely. It’ll blow the opposite side off. It’s brutal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I agree sir. But out of my 5 kills so far the shortest blood trail was 30 yards and the other 4 were well over 70-80 yards. One ran 120 or so. In thick woods a 70-80 yard track is near impossible without blood. You can walk right past a deer and not see it in a thicket. Sent from my iPhone...

    If I lose another deer to the 5.56 tmk I’m going to switch as well. For people hunting in thick wooded areas like me a lack of blood trail can be a lost deer easily. I’ll go back to my 7 mag to be honest with a 162 Eldm. I like bang flops. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When you found her were the insides mush or did it pencil through? I heard the bullet smack her. Bummer deal when it happens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’m agreeing with you there bud. I think it’s definitely possible I hit a little low and maybe that’s why she bucked up on her rear legs. Kinda wild how we found the jacket. Will try again this week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bummed to report my first loss with the 77s. Doe at 190 yards. Broadside. Shot was right behind shoulder in the crease. I saw the impact through scope. She bucked up on her back legs like a heart shot and ran into the thicket behind her. Searched for 2 hours and no blood. Did find the bullet...

    With rifle season starting tomorrow I can’t decide if I wanna take the 73 Eldm or 77 TMKs. 5 harvest with 77s. None yet with the 73s. Maybe I should initiate the 73s. Goodluck to all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bear creek just dropped a line of 6 ARC uppers. Just FYI. Going to be tempting for sure. https://www.bearcreekarsenal.com/6-mm-arc-20-ss-straight-heavy-barrel-rifle-1-8-twist-w-15-mlok-upper.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
