    General Purpose Rifle - Barrel Contour (Standard vs Lightweight)

    What are your accuracy expectations. 60-90 rounds isn’t coyote hunting or prairie dog hunting (Atleast not where I live). If your looking at man sized targets about anything will do.

    Repurpose a Weatherby Vanguard

    Weatherby is the same as a howa 1500 footprint which is NOT a Remington footprint. I believe .270 is short action while 30-06 is long action. So not interchangeable unless you want to single feed.

    Something odd in my bolt

    Does your once fired brass have any primers left? I’m guessing your blowing primers and that’s why it’s so dirty

    New Wilson Combat 6.5cm 22". Any Ideas?

    Yep got a .308 that leaves two identical lines on the necks just like those.

    Reloading Equipment Federal Match Primers

    Do you ever make it out west? Hays etc. (not Topeka).

    Cerakote

    So is it “seracote” or “karacote”? I’ve heard it pronounced 3 different ways today.

    Cadex Strike Pro chassis is finally here...

    For someone who has never had a chassis rifle, how does that grip feel? Standing and prone. Looks to me it would twist the hell out of your wrist.

    Bipod choices?

    Just think if someone made a product you could put on the threads to keep nuts from loosening by themselves. Seems like I heard about that awhile back. Locktite or something….. Sorry brother I’m no help. Just bustin your chops. I’m a poor so I stick to larue mounts with Harris bipods.

    Hunting & Fishing Coyote hunting ammo - Sierra Prairie Enemy or ...?

    I mainly use a .223 with factory ADI ammo that uses the 55gr Sierra blitzking. Shot placement is key. They are explosive though.

    I was canceled by Door Dash

    Zero rain for five months and 20% humidity would drive you mad.

    I was canceled by Door Dash

    You guys have problems I can’t even imagine. Hell I would love a food delivery service. I live so far out in the middle of nowhere Amazon next day delivery takes 3-4 days.

    If you like pushing the .22 past it’s limits you’ll really like pushing a .223 past it’s limits. The one gun I grab I more often than not is a Mossberg patriot varmint model. AFAIK it’s been discontinued buts it’s handy with an A2 stock and 16” barrel. It’s my do all gun. Is it super expensive...

    That rabbit hole is deep I’m warning you. I’ve probably got a dozen .223’s a couple of .243’s and 6mm’s, several 6.5’s and several 308’s. Yet I don’t compete just chase accuracy and hunt. Each one has a specific role to fill.

    Lol you’ve found that rabbit hole haven’t you? Best advice. Get a rifle and go out and shoot. Find out what you do like, don’t like. A lightly used rifle is a good down payment on a newer better option.

    Absolutely not. Do you take apart and clean your own handguns? Just pretend you took it apart before you put it back together. But if you do this you absolutely need a set of go, no go gauges. But even at your current 100 yard range and potential to go 400 it’s a little overkill for a first...

    Another one not getting into mil vs moa. I will say whatever you do make sure the turrets match.l the reticle. Some of the cheaper options come with a mil reticle and moa turrets.

    So you want him to spend $3500-$4000 on a production setup that will only be shot to 100 yards for a while?

    Entry build options...

    Of the rifles you have listed I personally would go with the Howa. Maybe I’m biased but I do have 4 of them. Maybe look into the HCR. Also I’d skip the .308 at this time. .223 is plenty enough for 400 yards. And ammo is a lot cheaper.

    Why’s is it cool to hate your craft?

    I absolutely love what I do. I co manage a farm of 4000+ acres. When it rains I sleep in. When it snows I sleep in. When it’s 105 out I show up at 4 and home by noon. I worked the 8-5 shit. Never again. I come and go as I please. Work when I want most of time. Busy time (planting and harvest) I...
