    Be sure to cite your sources when you apply for Forms fan of the year. You only have a few more days before the 2022 deadline.

    Yeah no, not a lot of criticism on the AR. Just people wanting to jump on the dog pile and kick me while I’m down. I’m sure it will subside…….. eventually

    I think I saw it before HR stepped in. Gotta say, I chuckled. Spent time and thought up a good response too, darn. I too was/would have been out of line in my response. I’m sorry as well.

    Rifle Advice

    Would love to hash it out. When you started questioning me initially, I kept my awnsers honest but vague. That intent was to try to keep to the topic of setup. I probably could have explained that I used to shoot a lot more. Probably not “a lot” by your standards, but after a few OTC rifle tags...

    Rifle Advice

    Well I’d intended for this to being more of a setup discussion than shooting advice. More so because I knew that could change the corse of conversation; and it did. But since we are talking shooting; I was going to comment before about dryfire. As mentioned, I get lots of Archrey reps in. 10+-...

    Rifle Advice

    Not that I’m an expert, but I’ve been told that the recoil is different due to the fact that the action pushes a round forward and that bolt stopping forward can have an accelerated wearing effect; or break sights intended for bolt action.

    Thanks for the reply. My AR could use a better trigger. Good excuse to buy something shortterm $$$. I did run my sightmark on it for a while because it can handle the semi automatic recoil.

    Good point(s). Can’t out BC the wind. But I believe that I will ever be a wind master and not screw up. More about compounding improvements and hedging against risk and doubt. More of a personal style. So someone doesn’t jump on me here: I’m not trying to beat all conditions and force shots...

    probably the single best piece of info so far

    Rifle Advice

    I’m happy to point out you are incorrect. My bias going into this was to build a 7mm prc and that would be that. But I wanted to hear other opinions and threw in the other wildcard options of upgrading my savage or going with a smaller cartridge. Now I’m considering the smaller 6.5 after...

    You can say that again. But there are little nuggest of info hidden in all the garbage piles.

    Rifle Advice

    I was under the impression that the MDT chassis would not work for something like a 223 and 7mm rem mag. They have a “short action” option and “long action” option. But it would work for a .223 ans 6.5. I’d be happy to be wrong here. Please lee me know if I am

    @Map 1 @J Batt I hear you both on the 6.5 not being an entirely better long range cartridge in terms of terminal performance. I'm not as stubborn as some in this thread would like to think :cool: . I think the 6.5 out shines the 270 in 2 places: 1) higher BC reducing wind drift 2) affordably of...

    Rifle Advice

    I love a lot of what you said here. Here is where I am coming from as an archer: - I understand how critical reps/ practice are. - I understand how critical conditions are that weigh in on the potential to take a shot. I would weigh all options before taking a shot. Obviously not going to go...

    Rifle Advice

    I'm reading up on this and other 223 forms like it here on Rokslide. I'm not against the advice on a small caliber and am not "throwing jabs" against this info. I am in Oregon, so a .223 is not legal to hunt elk with. It was again the way Formidilosus answered ; not the information provided...

    Rifle Advice

    I get it where you are coming from. And I understand that you’re intention was good. But good intention is not a get out of jail free card when it comes to insults. I feel that the assumptions made were insulting. I have thick skin and my feelings weren’t “hurt”; just as I’m sure yours were not...

    First, congratulations on your elk! That is an accomplishment. I’m reading through a lot of the . 223 forms now. A lot of good info in there. Again, as an archrey guy I do understand the importance of practice and repetition. I shoot probably 10+- arrows a day in my garage just to drill form...

    Rifle Advice

    Right, thats why I call it “stopping power” probably sounds dumb, but its kind of the combination of the two. I don’t like the idea of big slow bullets and I don’t like the idea of light fast bullets. More of a combination of the two. I like your term bullet upset. And i think the .270 does a...
