    AR scope mounts

    Right now I just have a cheap lightweight 1 piece mount for my LPVO on my AR. Would like something more rugged/robust. I know that's the weak point in my rifle right now. What's good and durable?

    What LPVO for Scout/Shorty?

    I went from a 3-9x40 to a Primary Arms SLx 1-6x24 FFP on my 450. I went with that scope because I also have it on my 2 gun rifle, which I abuse fairly heavily and it never left me lacking performance. I hunted with it for a few weeks now and have been very happy. Still can see through the scope...

    Wait till after the SHOT Show?

    I'd get the suppressor now, especially if you can get a black Friday deal. No hurt in waiting a bit for a scope.

    Quiet bino harness for bow hunting

    Thanks for all the replies. Got a pic of how you did it? Inside, outside or both? I suppose I could always do what you did to my bino pouch. No great loss if I don't like it.

    Quiet bino harness for bow hunting

    Put this topic in here because I figure mostly bow hunters would know what I'm after. I've had a Marsupial harness in the past and moved to a HPG chest pack with bino pouch. I like that set up for gun hunting but I find it pretty loud for archery season. I spend equal amounts of time in a tree...

    Ammo advice for 350 legend

    Watch some of that guys other videos if you haven't yet. Hes tested quite a few 350 varieties. I'm on the fence about getting one, but if I do my first ammo I'll try is the Winchester Defender. Pretty explosive in gel with plenty of penetration still.

    What all-game match bullet would you build a rifle around?

    Nothing says you have to use the most destructive bullet 100% of the time. If I'm chasing antelope, I'm fine using something like a bonded bullet or mono. There's not enough enough meat on them to be wasting it on a slightly misplaced shot.

    7mm-08 Rem success on big game

    I guess it just took longer for her to die than I expected given the shot placement. I've only ever killed deer with a rifle. A better question I guess would be, on average how long does a lung shot elk tend to live for? 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10? I saw the holes in the lungs and just expected...

    7mm-08 Rem success on big game

    Used hand loaded 140gr Nosler BT in my 7-08 on a cow elk yesterday. ~2600fps impact velocity. First hit was 1/3 of the way up the chest, 4" behind shoulder. She ran about 20 yards, wobbled and went down. I put a second in her a few minutes later after her head was still up. Once cutting her...

    $1500 budget RF binos versus older SLC glass

    I currently have a pair of older SLCs. Probably made around 2007 if I had to guess. They're super clear to me and a purchase I've never regretted after getting them second hand 4 years ago. I'm considering getting a pair of range finding binos now though. I'd have a budget of about $1500. Am I...

    New Ruger American Gen II

    I'm kicking the idea around. It shoots well as it is and is a short range gun(450 bushmaster) so I'm not sure if its worth it considering I'll likely only shoot it to 250 yards at the most. If I were to do it, I thought about making a channel in the forend and putting a length of carbon arrow...

    Are reloading book published speeds always on the high end?

    Thanks for the input. Both barrels I'm shooting are 2" shorter than book test barrels. The 338 doesn't have that mang rounds on it. Sub 50. The 7mm08 has about 200 on it. Does the velocity really matter for how I hunt? No, not really. I was more or less using it as a point of reference and...

    Barnes tsx 450 bushmaster

    I've seen the exact same result with the 450 TSX with a sub 10 yard shot. Bullet entered between the shoulder blades looking down on the white tail, recovered in the base of the neck. I've also had it on a contact shot with a muzzleloader and a TTSX. Bullet didn't really expand and was lodged in...

    Are reloading book published speeds always on the high end?

    Not a very experienced reloader. I've worked up 2 loads to book max. A 7mm-08 with 140gr Nosler Ballistic tips with RL15 powder. Max charge weight is 41.5gr, no pressure signs there. Speed out of a 22" barrel is 2703 fps average for 15 shots. Book has 2831 fps with a 24" barrel Next is a 338...

    Anyone used Black Arc ammunition MK262 clone?

    I know it's not really a hunting round, but we have some major gear geeks around here so maybe someone has played with this load. They have a MK262 load that uses some kind of different case that allows the bullet to be pushed out pretty quickly. Their 18" test barrel claims a 77gr SMK moves at...

    Advice on selling guns / scopes

    Things are just slow to move right now. Guns, scopes doesn't seem to matter. Unless something is really desirable it's probably a tough sell unless you make it a screaming deal.
