    Hunting & Fishing 2018 Hunting Thread - Post your pictures!

    I kill ugly coyotes as well, this is one of the biggest I’ve shot. Look at the size of his head compared to my call. 308 win, 190gr NCC at ~125y

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 870P or 11-87P, and Why?

    I say get an old Remington semi. The Model 11 can be found for $350 in my area, get the barrel chopped to 18” and swap out the springs and friction rings for less than $500 total. The Model 11 is a licensed Remington copy of the Browning Auto 5 and they are stupidly rugged, more reliable than...

    Rifle Scopes K525 SUCKS !!!!! SB PM2 5-25 vs K525 VS TT525P

    What the fuck? CA like a $1400 scope? I apologize for not adding information to the conversation but at that price point... that’s fucking bullshit on Kahles’ part in today’s optics environment.

    Best ruck to carry 50lbs in 5-10,000 elevation

    So I spent over 60 days hiking above treeline (10k to 14k feet) this summer, easily 700miles total. In May I bought a pair of Keenes, their nice US-made ones and they literally fell apart by mid August. I spend a lot of time carrying a pack. I have two packs: an Osprey Kestrel 38L and TAG...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for scope opinions (help me pick one)

    I think this is a great question. I have a 2k scope on an RPR so that’s where I’m coming from. I’d argue that a good scope stays around for multiple barrel swaps, and since the scope is your main interface with the rifle besides the trigger, it makes sense to spend the money up front. Rifles...

    Subsonics - All Calibers

    I’d go right to 10.0 with the 190s personally, but I’ll bet you end up around 9.5gr. With a 20” barrel 10.0gr was a bit fast still, so I went to 9.5gr. Same barrel at 16” gives me around 1050fps with moly’d 170gr FP and 10.0gr.

    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    Does anyone have a source for the M82 accessory rail? My gunsmith says a Warner Tool anschutz rail is too wide, and he thinks it’s a freeland rail (it’s an M82 surplus stock). Dimensions of the rail inlet is W: ~0.510in, D: ~0.270in, L: ~6 3/4in, with rounded corners. I’d like to be able to...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I just got done with a case of 190gr Nosler customs comps I loaded over 4064, it did well for me on steel and coyotes. Have you considered switching to the 178 ELD? I will be this fall, very similar BC and higher possible speeds.

    Hunting & Fishing Well Schooled Chicken Killer

    Good kill. I killed two coyotes, one the biggest coyote I’ve ever seen this weekend with $70 in camo, a homemade ghillie hat, tripod setup and a predator call with decoy. No need to spend more than a few hundred to have loads of fun and learn a lot.

    White Oak SPR barrel sale - 9/19

    Damn, and I thought I got a good deal at $210 a few months ago. Definitely a buy. You should send me that BCM to dispose of it properly though... that the one with the SAM-R chamber?

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ATACR. Complete failure!

    I’ll just say that I was told 6 weeks by Nightforce to have my NXS turrets changed from MOA to mil, I had my scope back in my hands the next week.

    .300 blk out hunting bullets

    I’m going to preface this by saying I’ve seen a lot of deer killed by a .22 with head, neck, and heart shots, and meat in the freezer shot with a rimfire tastes just fine. This is wrong. Temporary stretch cavity is very real, and comes into play above ~2200 FPS if I recall correctly. 300...

    Hunting & Fishing sierra game kings for elk?

    I’ve been seriously thinking about loading up some 160gr partitions for 270, I’ve heard great things about how partitions do in heavy-for-caliber loads.

    ideal Bullet for .308 700y and in?

    I’m almost through a case of 190gr Nosler custom comps and came to a similar conclusion. I’ll be moving to the 178gr ELD-M I think, BC is a tossup (.527/.530 if I remember right) and I think I’ll gain ~100fps. I’d recommend picking up a box of 155gr Nosler custom comps in addition to the 155gr...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    The only Savages I have any interest in are the old ones. One day I’ll have a Model 99 in the safe, but the new ones... nope. Look at all the cheap Howa barreled actions on Brownells, where are the feeding issues, ejector issues, trigger problems, etc with those? I haven’t heard of them...

    Hunting & Fishing Planting food plots in late summer

    I think you’ve missed your chance for this year, by a long ways. However, you can plant this fall for next year depending on your crop. There are lots of grains and grasses that do well planted in the fall, gives them a head start in the spring. It really just depends on what you plant, and...

    Hunting & Fishing Varmint/Coyote Gun Suggestions?

    You can kill hogs just fine with a 223, just get some Federal Fusion from Walmart or any bonded/TSX/GMX on the internet. Lots of people use heavy OTMs as well. I’ve shot a few deer with a 223, out to maybe 250y and never had a problem. The thing with coyotes is they often move in pairs, a...

    Suppressors Sandman TI question

    My brother has one and is a big fan. Can definitely take a lot more heat than a TBAC. A few design differences I observed besides the obvious material differences: 1) Ultra has an unclipped blast baffle; Ti has all of its baffles clipped. 2) Ultra has a pattern on the blast baffle to induce...

    Suppressors Sandman TI question

    Get a TBAC. I’ve shot the Ultra 9 side by side with the Sandman Ti and the TBAC suppresses better than any of the Dead Air cans I’ve shot. Don’t get me wrong, I love DA and have a Sandman S. Just different applications. The big reason I say that is you already have a full auto rated can...
