Maven - real zero stop, better reticle, better glass and illumination. Then
NF, Trijicon , Zeiss
I own 2 out of your list of 4. maven & NF.
All my bolts are moving to Maven and S&B
Gas guns will all be NF.
22’s will run Arken because I can’t give them away and 22 ammo is cheap enough I can...
Trigger spring. $10.00. Instantly improved my T3X. Stupidly easy install.
Mounts and rings - try the UM or go with NF/Warne MT
Scope as mentioned
Then figure out which ammo it likes and buy 1000 rds.
I’ve been in same situation and will decide on my ammo brand/gr after this...
Yotes pick up on cameras quickly. They need to be the no flash models. I’ve tied a carcass to a tree to keep them from grabbing it after the buzzards are done with it. Yotes came in once, gave it a tug and after realizing it was tied and never came back. All caught in camera.
Handi Rifle in 223 with threaded barrel. Also includes youth stock for shorter LOP. Built this to teach kids to shoot and take their first big game animal with. Round count is sub 500 and this rifle never had issues hitting a 4" plate with a standard red dot. The red dot made it easier...
This was in the trap from earlier this year. 22 standard velocity -sparrow suppressor- mama was one shot to the head and she was down, the little ones were almost jumping out the trap
I do the same thing if they are on my place. Then tell the neighbor to look for buzzards so he doesn't catch the skull in his hay cutter. If they are on a place I have permission to hunt we are required to haul them off.
I've centered punched a few.
The AR is medium contour and even suppressed the best you can hope for is 4 shots off. This is assuming you have open field and its safe to "go fast". The last two are normally running for cover.
The bolt gun is a Mossberg MVP patrol that I picked up in trade. Bedded and free floated the...
Speaking from shooting 20+ animals using a thermal a year for the past 6 years go with the 243. The 223 does not kill the larger hogs fast enough. Very easy to lose them in the thick brush once they get to running. I currently use a 6.5 Grendel on my AR NV set up and a Bolt 308 with my...
Scored a set today. They do come with rechargeable battery packs and Duracell Aaa batteries. I’ll let the Duracells sit in a drawer for 4 months then one will corrode and ruin the others. Looks like a good buy. The rechargeable’s are great options.
Any assistance is appreciated. First I bought this used on Craigslist at least 28 years ago. Thought I had a great deal for what was a few hundred dollars back when the Swarovski name meant something to me. At the time the Internet had not blossomed to the point of instantly locating...
Northland shooting supply - shameless plug. Shilen select match 223. My first rebarrel job. Shot it today 1.40” over all 10 shot group. 5-10 mph wind with 90% humidity. Federal premium 77 OTM. Also order a new barrel lug. My factory lug was bent.
Worse than the Choate models? I say that as I have one . It is ugly and uglier by the day BUT, it shoots very well as a bench gun. Far too heavy to do much more than paper and steel. This rules out the field stock as an option for me.
