    I’m certain there is some of that in this thread.

    Appleseed Sucking

    My point was a red dot is not an accuracy aid. It’s a speed aid. You are correct, I have not a fucking clue about Appleseed. Nor do I care. I know enough to realize that if you cannot hit that target with iron sights nothing is going to help.

    Appleseed Sucking

    Because red dot sights are known for benchrest accuracy?

    Why would my groups open up suddenly?

    The “old time” shooters who won consistently in the 50-70’s also cleaned consistently.

    Thermal Coyote hunting round

    Not going to move out of way of course. If you like it great. After killing over 2500 Kansas coyotes it would not be my choice. I shoot further and also kill a lot of running coyotes. Both day and night. If I limited myself to standing coyotes at 100 yards I would have about 10% of this...

    Thermal Coyote hunting round

    You MAY kill slightly quicker with the 6.5 than a .223 but you will hit far less than you would with the .204. Many coyote shots must be taken quickly or not at all. The trajectory is far less 'flat" and you will not have time to range and shoot.

    Thermal Coyote hunting round

    I find a .204 very effective to 400 yards on coyotes. The only issue I have is if there is any intervening grass or brush. I like the explosive 32 grain bullets as they don't bounce around. I do think a small frame gun is the answer and a proof barrel is a good light weight solution. I am not a...

    ISO Best AR15 Barrel

    20 practical or 20 Tactical are both good options . The .204 offers factory ammo and brass. If you go .204 you will want some USGI magazines. The plastic P mags are to short inside. Have fun!

    ISO Best AR15 Barrel

    First, define your accuracy standards. Second what is your budget? I do agree that a new build is the best course if budget allows. Might sell the Colt to cover part of it. A few other thoughts. Consider 18 or 20” barrel. Consider just buying a trigger and building a good upper and adding a...

    Unertl/52 Project

    It would take a long post and much is done by gauge and feel. I will dive into it some day. It’s basic stuff. Done create stress or flex. Support the barrel out front with rubber pads. Also due to weight I supported this one at back. Don’t over tighten. I completely de grease the bolt, firing...

    Unertl/52 Project

    Sorry about double image. The bottom rifle is the Winchester 52 C Bull Barrel Deluxe rifle Scope is 32X Unertl. I have not tested it yet. Spent the last few weeks de greasing, cleaning, oiling and adjusting trigger, torques etc. Over the years I’ve found 52’s respond to specific bedding...

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    Great scope. Thanks for posting! If you need more elevation you can change front base height. Some bases are stepped so you can quickly change elevation then tune with scope adj. I have boxes of bases. Reach out anytime.

    Weird Accuracy Issues with AR Build

    Do you have an AR that you can shoot well? Not being sarcastic but they are not bolt guns and require a different skill set to shoot well.
