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

The AR-15 is over rated. Everyone knows if you can only have one, a Tikka T3X 223 1:8 is basically the only way to fly….that is, if you don’t already have a Ruger American in 5.56!

Yeah, the splits on a bill drill with an AR are pretty unimpressive compared to a bolt gun

Intesting discussion (i did not read all) but nobody ever mentions that the whole point is to use ar 15 with several shots

Thank goodness you joined today and made this post. After reading through over 13,000 posts I had personally failed to realize the entire point of this thread was to use an AR-15 and shoot as many rounds as you can to put an animal down. Thanks for clarifying that for the group.

I’m not much of a banana split guy, I’m more of a bananas foster sort. And Bill’s drill you say?

All jokes aside, I do have a great little S&W AR. It’s set up with flip ups and a green dot holosun.

But seriously, get a Tikka.

All clear for me now several shots from 223 will probably do same as a 180 grain at 3000 feet from what ever

If you call and they say that they aren't sure, ask them to check the stamp on the barrel.

From what I have seen, the older models with slower twists are not stamped. The newer models have the twist rate stamped on the barrel.

Just want to say I grew up near the original store location and this is a very well known and respected business. I’ve bought lots of gear from them over the years and frequently see people buy guns when they have sales. They started as a small family business and now are essentially like a smaller, more local version of Scheels. I would call to confirm the specs and then buy with confidence.

 

[Joe Holden]

Call was not picked up. Just after they opened so I'm sure people are still getting their day in order. Fired off an email.

Another endorsement of Reeds. I grew up in MN. They're up in a big hunting and fishing area. Just purchased a 10/22 Carbon through them a few months back via Gunbroker and the whole thing went very smoothly.
