Bottom Metal for Coup de Grace Build

I just put one on my last rifle and can’t believe much difference it makes.
In what way?

Also, I just got off the phone with someone at Hawkins who cited all kinds of fitment issues with the CDG receiver. Surprises me because ARC recommends their bottom metal. 🤷 I did see a recent thread about problems feeding 7mm-08 specifically in their proprietary Hunter magazines.

screw worms arent a problem in the US, yet. they last were in the 60s. its impact is that we are being careful with Mexican cattle, which i think has been stopped all together.

the higher prices are going be in the lack of supply because the Texas cattle producers (largest cattle producing state) have had to sell more of their breeding herds because of drought. we are all currently trying to rebuild our herds and its going to take a couple of years, but there are very few who are going to be borrowing money to buy replacement cattle at historically high prices. we are all going to breed for them and not sell.

case in point, i have two heifers out of my calves i am going to trade with a buddy of mine so we can get them away from breeding back to their daddy bull.

the biggest driver of price increases have been reduced herds because of the droughts we have been in. we need more rain and that will help prices stay flat for a while. but i dont think thats going to happen until we fix the low herd numbers.
Correct. I don’t buy cattle on loan but I know several who still do. It’s the lack of headcount in the US herds that’s the problem. The tariffs and the screw worm issue are exacerbating the shortage.

This last drought and fires in Texas had absolutely beautiful heifers going to slaughter. That was tough for everyone and it’s going to take time to get us back to carrying capacity.

Mike,
Don't get me wrong the barrel Di did for me is light years better than what my original VG V22S could do. What ever he did works and that's all that matters. I sent David a email thanking him on how well it shoots. The Eley x-shot target I posted with Center X far exceeds what I expected. I really don't care that Eley ammo does not shoot well in my V22S , that's Eley's problem.
Perfect. From here, I want to help you get your fire control dialed in, so let's figure that out. I'll work on getting the video done asap.

Dunno what the tractor thread is, but if I've erred, by golly I'm sorry.

:ROFLMAO: No sir, don't be sorry.

The tractor thread is entitled, "Vudoo closed the doors...." It's a great place to learn about tractors, Mater, and occasional, Where's Waldo type posts alleging the latest about VGW.

Many of you probably have seen this press release. Think I'll just post it for the record. I don't know how to verify it, but it seems that Vudoo is taking over Surgeon Rifles's former facility in Prague, OK.


FWIW.

This post ^^^^ is better suited to the tractor thread.
