If I could find someone to go coyote hunting with I may need a new barrel…………😁
Can’t speak to the dust and debris. I’ve never had any issues with them riding in the back of the truck or normal hunting conditions.
But I will say that my stocks aren’t “stock”. 😁
I’ll keep the factory trigger. I back the weight down to the lowest point and remove the blade and they are serviceable for me.
I think the point you make about barrel life with the RA is what separates yourself (and many others on this site) from your “normal” (myself included) RA owner...
I’ve got (2) Gen 1’s now and (1) Gen 2. I’ve also had (2) 6.5’s, (1) .308 and (1) 6 ARC.
I’m going to guess (I’ll admit that I have NO sort of formal record) that I’m at 1,500 rounds in the 5.56 rifles and maybe 600 total for the other rifles. Say 2,000 to guess. And that’s probably...
Do you have a link to what exactly you’re seeing fail? I’ve got a lot of friends, as well as myself, that have these rifles.
I’d like to know what to watch out for. Thanks.
I wonder if you could build a frame from 2x4 or 2x6’s laid flat. Just bigger than the floor but positioned so the D loops could be screwed to the top.
May need some washers so the screw heads catch the D loops.
And if you went with a 2x6 or larger, then you could lay sand bags/cinder blocks/...
What 223 do you have? The 69’s shoot really well in my RAR’s but not so much in my Tikka.
@wind gypsy says the 55 blitz kings are really accurate in his Tikka.
I would recommend a Limbsaver recoil pad for her shoulder and a Beartooth cheek riser for some padding for her face. Before she fires the first shot.
I’d also watch her middle finger getting hit by the trigger guard. I have small hands and short fingers and it happens to me sometimes.
A 6# 308...
