.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

I wasn’t even aware of the SBR issue; thanks for bringing that up. Leaning away from a pinned and welded muzzle device. May just go with a 16” barrel and a folder.

Would like to keep the weight low, maybe 7-ish pounds with optic. When I’m not hunting in people’s backyards, I hike a lot.

I’m hunting with a Ruger American in 223 this year, with 73 ELD-Ms. If there’s no drama with recovery, I’ll pursue the AR option.
SWS Rifles will build you an integrally suppressed upper with overall barrel/baffle stack length of 16.1 for a one tax stamp gun.

You’d lose some compactness as a trade-off, though.

I know there are others also, but a familiar with the SWS rifles ‘cuz we have a handful at work.

Oh no, no, no. The coveted 77 TMK.

It makes them look like a staggering drunk for about 10 yards on the outside and raspberry soup on the inside.

No moose available where I’m at. But if there was and it were legal, I’d kill the shit out of one. 😁

I already had a RAR 5.56 and a Vortex Viper PST 2.5x10 G1 so I'm running with that. Put it in a KRG Bravo cause I hated the flimsy stock. The 73 ELDM shoots really well so I'm cracking those while I wait for my Black Hills 77 TMK's to come in.

Had I not stocked up on the TMK’s, I would be shooting the 73 ELDM with no worries.

. Then there is the real degenerate, non conformist, group of rebels that rock an AR15.

I have used a large amount of 62 gold dot, and it has always done very well for me.

I am so very excited to try the 77 tmk. I was able to grab a large amount of the black hills 5.56 loading, as well as a good stash of components.
