*Edit I was wrong. They used a scout in the 6.5 flavor.
There’s a thread or two on here where others have done and used exactly what you’re describing. I have a 300 BO 10.5” upper in the AR flavor I’ve used in the past. I’ve since put it away in favor of my threaded marlin 30/30 for my sub 100...
For the guys that just got approved, time to buy another one and get the clock started again. You’ll look up in a few months or a year and wish you had. Believe me, this was my experience years ago.
I was just recommended a riser by Beartooth. I was looking for one and a shell holder. Think I’ll place an order for a couple for a few of our turkey shotguns.
I use both rechargeable and battery powered versions. I keep the energizer headlamps stashed in bags, trucks, etc. They're just too economical in price not to have them nearby.
Everyone’s experience will vary, I’ll share mine with various containment systems. Around a year of age my chocolate lab decided it was time to wander. I tried a wireless fence system with the little flags for visual, no luck. I penned him up until I could get the “stubborn dog” underground...
I prefer the 180 grain core lokts as far as off the shelf of the local Wally World ammo goes. I can usually find them cheap and plentiful there. They hammer the shoulders of white tails at the distances we shoot here in Tennessee.
I’ve got duke dog proof traps and some no name brand I bought at the local rural king. Both seem to catch just fine. We don’t run feeders or cameras, but have good luck setting the DP’s on game trails coming and going.
Another Rascal recommendation here. I bought one when for my now 15 year old. I threaded it and left the irons on it, this before they offered a threaded version . Talk about just silly fun shooting that thing with a can on it. He has long since out grown it.
