    300 blackout bolt gun

    Yes, supers only for me since my barrel did not like subsonic loads. Is there any point to having one....maybe. I thinks it's fun in a bolt gun personally. Also it's a very nice low recoiling, lightweight, and short range hunting rifle. I have a Zermatt Arms Origin action that has a 19 inch...

    .223 Rem TAC and 75 ELDM Experiment - Range day update

    I've been running 73gr and 75gr ELDM's over TAC since 2018. I use CCI 41 or 450 primers with Lapua brass. Using a Forster bump die with bushings, 21st Century mandrel and annealing every time has yielded excellent brass life so far. It's a really fun load for LR and PDogs.

    Sharps 22lr

    Looks like I'm going to be getting my Safe Queen Shiloh Sharps out to the range a bit more once the Crossno liner shows up from Buffalo Arms! Thanks for spending my money for me!! :) For reference it appears Mr. Crossno passed away several years ago and although his Family kept the shop going...

    No Love for the 75gr ELD-M?

    The 75gr ELDm in a bolt gun at an OAL greater than 2.260in is an awesome choice! I've been running them over TAC @2980fps in Lapua brass at an OAL of 2.550in for several years now in a 26" bolt gun. They do great on paper & steel, but I would caution using them on coyotes based on my...

    ❓ What Range Finder for Precise Ranging Ground Hogs — $400 max. — 400y max.?

    For Woodchucks and PDogs I started with a Bushnell Elite 1-mile CONX which had amazing glass for a LRF; so good that I used it in place of binos for finding targets. Unfortunately the laser was underpowered for full Sun applications. Cloudy days I could get returns easily in the 800-1k range...

    223 Bolt Gun (current climate)

    I’m not sure where you got a price quote from but an Origin barreled action from Keystone Accuracy is ~$1600 or less depending on the barrel blank. I just had John spin me a 300 blackout barreled action, dropped it in a KRG, with a trigger tech for right at $2K. MDT polymer mags are $40 each...

    First set of binos - which mag?

    This is the correct answer. 7x or 8x is the perfect balance between magnification and FOV for PDog hunting while 12x or 15x used off a tripod is the perfect balance between magnification and FOV for LR spotting. I have a set of 10x42 Swaro SLC's and have used them for both PDog hunting and LR...

    REMAGE budget build??

    The Criterion Remage pre-fits are $300-$375ish at Northland Shooter Supply. Krieger and Green Mountain start at $400ish. I went this route in 2020 building a .308Win and 2018 for a .223Rem trainer. Bone stock R700 action with zero work done to it, used a standard recoil lug, NSS's barrel nut...

    Maggie’s The Official Beer Snob Thread

    I can get the Black & Tan variant in NC which is quite nice too. When I’m back in Pa next week I’ll see if I can snag a sixer of this to try.

    Swarovski 115mm

    I've bought all my high end optics though Doug at Cameraland NY. Great folks to deal with. I got my Kowa Prominar TSN-880 scope through them. I have Swaro binos, but much prefer my Kowo spotter over Swaro spotters that I have looked through. Kowa just launched their 99mm series this year...

    My everyday beer is Yuengling Lager for reference. These are some beers that have caught my attention recently. Two are local to NC and one is very limited distribution to Wisconsin.

    Meopta LRF Bino’s

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    I checked the balance point on mine and it is just slightly forward of the magazine well. No weights or spacers added to the rear of the stock. The scope is a Vortex Viper OST Gen 1 6-24x50 sitting in Seekins Precision rings for reference. With either of my rimfire suppressors the rifle is...

    Need some advice for a 223 bolt gun build

    The 73gr ELD'ms tend to fragment in my experience. When we PDog hunt we shoot suppressed without ears and I don't recall ever hearing a ricochet. Although once our guide had us convinced we might have killed a cow. It was laying on it's side splayed out for a good 15min and looked dead...that...

    Need some advice for a 223 bolt gun build

    I run two separate rifles for PDogs. One shooting 53/55 Vmax and the other shooting 73/75 ELD-M's. 600yds with the 53gr is less than optimal, but with the 73/75 is doable. For the 73/75gr I'm running a 26" Criterion 1 in 8", Wylde chambered heavy varmint and pushing them to 3k fps for...
