Bringing this back up for the extended bolt knob inquiries. If you message "kitascreations" on ebay, he'll customize the hole dimensions. I requested a .190 through hole and a .350 countersink 0.25 deep on the back side of the knob, but then ground the knob a little shorter and had to open up...
I ended up with an extra pair of brown Tracker Forest ESC size 44 (mens 11) if anyone here is interested. Will list them on the classifieds here in a few mins. I'll do $195 shipped, brand new.
CZ 457 in anything but 22 LR. I shoot em with my 457 Scout in 17 HM2 with a Whistle Pig barrel, does great.
I don't understand the guys who are against rifles for turkeys, but them sing the praises of TSS or the latest choke: "I can kill them at 60 yards! I can shoot a 410 for less recoil!" My...
Nice work and congrats!
200 yards is a long way to go on a double lung hit with that 108 (disregarding the single lung hits). Any idea why they might have made it so far? How was internal damage?
Now there's a testimonial!
I'm going to add this info to my presentation to my state agency's committees in attempting to legalize 223s for deer and bear...
Nice work to all you guys; impressive!
Side question: any idea what the deal is with Midway and their coupons? I see products (like these TMKs) on their site saying "eligible for MUSA1024", yet I am not able to apply it in my cart...
Just got one of the Green Mountain blanks back from the gunsmith. He left the chamber a little fat but the rest is nice - 0.600" tapered to 0.450" at the muzzle, 20" long. I even have it cut to feed 2.415" OAL 88 gr ELDMs, which it does beautifully.
Only problem - it shoots like dog crap. I've...
60 gr TMK at 2200 impact ruined this large-bodied buck's day. Busted ribs going in (slight quarter toward), destroyed one lung, went through the back of the other, through the diaphragm, into guts, no exit. He went 10 yds, but was alive for a few minutes before his head went down - presumably...
I can speak to this - I'm a biologist for a state agency and am on the committees who make such regulations. They are full of well-intended people who do not like change. They are not informed on many topics - especially ballistics - but they hold tightly to pre-conceived notions, at times even...
I know this is getting off track, but for the same cost as a CVA 45-70 conversion, you can buy a Woodman Arms muzzleloader that can take smokeless, weighs 5.5 lbs, is made from completely nitrided stainless steel, made in NH, and is beautifully fit and finished. I just picked mine up this summer...
I read about it. Seems geared toward lead free, which really doesn't appeal to me in a rimfire, especially since they aren't fragmenting anyway. Heeled lead bullets never seemed to cause me an issue.
I am seeing (and fight at every turn in these meetings) more and more state and federal agency...
Looks like an awesome deal. How much better is the Helinox than the Chinese imitations on Amazon for $70? (Eg: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087RDGX3F/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwp13NParams#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div)
Those NAAs are actually very good shooters. They make a 4" Mini Master with adjustable sights that would shoot as well as any just about any other open sighted pistol and weighs 11 oz.
