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

[Moosehunter]

Well....I don't own a 223
Powder? Yes
Tmk's? Yes
6x on backorder? Yes
Waiting on funds for the tikka. Probably not gonna suppress at this point. Just straight up don't have that kinda cash...
I need to go on a rokslide diet. If that's a thing

 

[Moosehunter]

@Big_wals is mostly to blame.
I hunt and shoot with him. #brokebutstillgotdesire

It’s absolutely a thing. I cut back on food so I can spend more here.

I need a DfRS (Diet from Rokslide) after my recent binge on the RSD (Rokslide Diet).

I think the coke suggestion would result in material weight loss.

Friends don't let friends shoot bigger cartridges than they need to

How is this my fault? I'm blaming you for my RSS and inbound S20. And all 3 of my SWFAs. And my general poor manners and grumpy disposition.

Someone has to be the fall guy

I trade it straight across for tac, so if my reloading recipe seems off, it’s because I use grams rather than grains to measure powders (easier math)

I’ve purged most of my custom rifles/components, vortex scopes, 30 cal reloading equipment for 2 tikka 223s and a 6.5 cm, with trijicon, SWFA, and NF scopes thanks to the RSD. I need an DfRS now myself.

Is there a good aftermarket for Coopers with cut barrels?

Not sure. Never sold one.

And you probably think your kit is complete or maybe one piece away.

But then we start talking about ARs being better than tikkas because they have even lower recoil, even faster follow up shots, are better in snow and freezing rain, have better customizable options. Then Hornady comes out with a heavier eldm. And leupold takes a giant leap towards reliable and durable scopes with awesome glass and reticle. It just keeps coming and coming, and then it's publishers clearinghouse day!!!

If the state of Colorado pulled it’s head out of the darkness, the only rifle I would carry is one of my ARs. And for all the reasons you have listed. Dropped a coyote at 280 yards today. Death run for 50 yards and piled up. I would love to shoot some larger game with it.

11 year old son smoked a river bottom whitetail doe today on the MT youth deer hunt. His first deer and our first kill with the Tikka .223, 77gr. TMK. Doe was about 100 yards out. He shot true and the doe launched about 10 yards right into a river channel and died immediately. No tracking, no blood trail.
Really digging this combo and the kids like shooting suppressed with minimal noise and no recoil.

Congrats to your son!
