Advice On 308 Rifle

Looking for some advice on getting my first 308 bolt rifle. This rifle will serve as my hunting rig for deer and hogs down here in South Texas. I don't want some super lite rifle since all my hunting is either from a hunting blind or on a bipod. Looking for 20" barrel and threaded to run a can. Won't be shooting long distance, most of my hunting shots are less than 300 yards. Smooth action with great accuracy and good weight is what I'm after. Will be shooting factory hunting loads as well. I'd like to stay under the $1200 range, the cheaper the better though. Been looking at Tikka T3X and Savage 110 Rifles. Looked at the Remington 700 SPS Tactical as well but not too sure on how well they are. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Aight so the leftists and neocon uniparty running our country seem intent on thrusting us balls deep into WW3, sooo I decided it was time to fill a void in my arsenal.

Good Feels and Equipment Trickle Down

This was posted by some folks in my area. It’s definitely a feel-good type deal but what I thought was interesting was the use of equipment. I’m new to this forum and new to a lot of the intricacies involved in ballistics and equipment so maybe I’m easily impressed but I thought the adaptation of competition style equipment in this situation was cool. The strides to make tri-pods lighter and the systems more stable has (probably) enabled more people to hunt and made the task of the guides a lot easier as well. Reminds me a lot of war time = significant jumps in trauma medicine.

Tried to Shoot the Dog and Shot the Owner

Does this guy claim that he has vision problems or just a case of buck fever?

"According to the agency, she was shot while walking her dog on private property in Big Flats Township in the early morning hours of Nov. 19. The 62-year-old hunter told the DNR he thought the dog was an antlerless deer, so he fired."

SOLD Stumpies Custom Guns 300 PRC

Selling my custom built 300 PRC put together by Stumpies Custom Guns in Swansboro, NC. Been with me now on a few hunts and is a fantastic rifle. Looking to move towards a 7mm PRC with a 20 inch barrel and found one already configured - so this is going up for sale.

Specs-
Tuebor Action
Proof carbon fiber 22” 300 PRC Sendero contour 1:9 twist with 5/8x24 threading (currently has a rugged suppressors Omnidirectional muzzle brake on it)
MPA ultralight LA chassis in green
Anarchy Outdoors grip
Timney HIT trigger set at around 1lb.
Weight without optic etc is 7 lb 7.2 oz.

Never chrono’d it, just trued ranges and adjusted my kestrel accordingly - with factory 212 ELD-x I’m showing 2860 FPS muzzle velocity.
128 rounds fired through - all factory ammunition. Factory ammo shot well enough for me and I’m not loading my own ammo.

The chassis shows signs of wear - mostly on the arca section where the cerakote has worn from use over time. Doesn’t affect function, but I want to be as transparent as possible.

I am also selling the scope separately.

Asking $3000 for the rifle with two magazines. I’ll have ammo for sale with the rifle or after the rifle sells. This cost me 4300 new.

Items for partial trade-
MTN gear mountain bipod
77 grain TMK ammo
Quality spotting scope

2A NEWS: Federal Appeals Court strikes down state of Maryland's Handgun Purchasing License law.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
NOVEMBER 21, 2023

KUDOS and credit to Maryland's hometown 2A activism group Maryland Shall Issue, and gun vendor Atlantic Guns, who were the plaintiffs behind the original 2016 lawsuit that led to today's decisive smackdown delivered by Judge Julius Richardson of the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals.

The wheels of justice may turn slowly, but in Richmond today, they turned as surely as ever. A decisive conclusion by 4th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Julius Richardson struck down a kneejerk Maryland law passed by Democratic leadership in the wake of the 2012 Sandy Hook shootings that required Maryland residents to apply for a special license and undergo a four hour "safety" class as well as a waiting period as long as 30 days for the license approval process before they can purchase a handgun. The 4th Circuit Court found that this rule VIOLATED the basic tenets of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and subjected Maryland citizens who are facing imminent threats of violence from gangs and attempted home invaders to potential serious bodily harm and death by delaying their ability to acquire handguns to protect themselves and their families. It was also found out over a course of research in the process of this lawsuit that the 2013 licensing law and handgun purchase waiting period did almost NOTHING to prevent violent crime or deter potential terroristic assailants from obtaining weapons if they were determined to, but only placed needless and arduous restrictions on hardworking and law abiding people.

In the meantime, Maryland's Democratic governor Wes Moore expressed dismay at today's smacking down of one of the most crucial pieces of Maryland's antigun tyranny, vowing to "review" the case again and appeal the 4th Circuit Court's ruling.

2A News: Oregon judge rules "permit to purchase" law unconstitutional

An Oregon State judge has ruled that Oregon's Measure 114 is unconstitutional and granted plantiffs permanent injunction.

Measure 114 would require those seeking to purchase a firearm to obtain a permit from local authorities, undergo safety training, criminal background check, and require photo ID and fingerprints. The law also would "prohibit manufacturing, importing, purchasing, selling, possessing, using, or transferring ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds and make violations a class A misdemeanor."

Fuck The Colt Forum- in the Ass

Since ButtIG started a thread shitting on the mods, 🤣 I thouht I start one shitting on a whole site.:cool:

I am was a member of the Colt Forum because I lke Colt pistols and of course the venerable M15 and its variants. I'm getting along well then someone posts that someone had done some dumb shit and got their feeling hurt. In the poster's support I put up the clown (see below). I get a strong warning

"Anything like that again and your gone for good."

So I think, "Ok, I'll be a sweet little fellow." A couple weeks later somebody had a nice pistol posted and I complimented it with a free bump. I get another warning:

"Dont post on other peoples for sale unless you're buying it". Really? You cant even compliment someone gun? So I just didnt visit that site for a month.

I go to check in and I cant log in. Try to reset the password, doesnt recognize my email.

I've been erased. Cleaned. Woe is me.

Fuck the Colt Forum and fuck Joe Biden. and finally, to the Colt Forum...

Rebarel Tikka 223 into something fun?

I have a Tikka T3x 223 Varmint and the barrel is about shot out. Have it in a CTR stock with AICS DBM.

Want to keep the 223 bolt face and get a pre-fit barrel for it. Not sure what caliber though. This is a pure fun gun, was thinking about a 300Blk dedicated subsonic. I have plenty of .30 suppressors and a Silencerco Hybrid .46 if I want to go bigger. Any other good subsonic options staying with the 223 bolt face? 223-338, 350 legend, something else?

Help me plan a fun gun. I reload, dont mind forming wildcat brass, restrictions are:
223 bolt face, AICS SA mag, pre-fit barrel and subsonic suppressed.
Thanks for playing...

Accessories FS: Garmin Xero C1 NIB $640 shipped

I shot my MS bayonet last month, just in time to put in a pre-order Xero. I decided for now I can stick with a MS and rail that I picked up cheap to use until the Garmin came in. Hopefully I don't shoot this bayonet...

$640 shipped if anyone is looking for one.

I'm OK if it sells or not. If it does sell, I'll use the money to buy something ridiculously cheap on Cyber Monday.

Choose your rifle and ammo if....

I was watching the movie Killer on Netflix, I love movies about spys and assasines (how cool would it be to have dozens of passports sneaking all over the world like Jason Boirne? lol) anyway in the opening scene he uses the Nemesis Arms Vanquish and he was shooting subsonic .308 rounds (it was a David Fincer movie so the actor narrates during the movie like in Fight Club, Se7en, Gone Girl, etc. so he actually explains that he is shooting subsonic rounds and that he does not have to worry about bullet drop at that distance) the target is across the street about 100 yards away and he is shooting thru glass (which he also says is not bulletproof just normal vintage glass from the 1970s).....oh and the target is about 15 feet past the glass

So here is my question....(just for fun, not looking to train any future Oswalds) would you use that rifle? ammo?

If you need to breakdown a rifle quickly wouldn't a folding stock be easier than removing a barrel? I was thinking something like the Q Fix 8.6 w a QD suppressor would be a much better choice. What do u think?

The movie was kind of slow, weird...but I liked it. Anything that isn't a Marvel movie, sequel/prequel, or remake these days is a blessing.

Which Optics 4 Your HD Guns

Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving week.

Every 2 wks. to a month, I get everything out, unload it, ck function, oil em up, and load 'em up again.

This one is my G41 (Grab 4 1st) pump in an urban setting around my house in addition to my Ruger 357 in a pocket holster.

This is Reptile (Yes, I name my pumps).



Got the Eotech on it, which some folks consider a big clunky antique, but I love it. Yes, U have to turn it on, it's big, short on battery life, but no worrying the image dancing around while UR trying to save UR life, the circle is just natural 4 me and just so quick w/acquisition.

Of course out in the country it's my rifles w/a scope on one, and the Aimpoint on the other.

Wondering what optics other folks have on their GO2 HD guns.

Getting a custom rifle built. Short action or long action 300 wsm

Long time reader and first time poster.

I have decided to get a custom rifle built and after talking to the guy that’s going to do it he said it’s entirely up to me if I want to go short or long action on the 300wsm. I do reload and plan to do full load development for my rifle.

The rifle will be mostly used for hunting but also used on the bench for fun here and there.
As of right now I’m leaning towards a 20 inch 1-10 twist carbon proof research barrel, custom lightweight Remington clone action, carbon stock, trigger tech diamond, and it’ll have a vx5hd on it. I will be putting my can on it as well.

So, what would you do? Would you go long action and not worry about bullet length ever or go short action and stuff big bullets into the powder?

Thanks!
