    OAL for 60gr Vmax in a 223 AI bolt gun build?

    I am having a 223 AI bolt Action gun built and plan on 60gr vmax as heaviest bullet. I know for an AR you are limited to magazine length, but for a bolt action which will be chambered to my requested length, what should I go with? May not be able to give a number for an answer, but thoughts? I...

    Kids and side x sides

    The 9 year old was driving and I said stop but she hit wrong pedal and ran up on a tree! We were wearing seat belt and nobody was injured. Turned it back over and on our way. kids in our neighborhood drive them on the roads without helmets or adults and way too fast. Very concerning...be careful!

    Is ATF at work??

    I think my issue was the wrong form revision and they just don't process vs telling me wrong form. on the question of background check, in Louisiana no call is made if you have a concealed carry permit.

    Is ATF at work??

    looking at your link I notice there was a revision to the form, so I may fill out a new one and re-submit. (I put the OMB number thinking that was the form number. I don’t understand their numbering system! I edited above to show E-form 5320.20. I send it to the fax/email on the last page and...

    New Hunting Rifle Build

    I have a Tract scope that I really like for $794. they have a t plex or BDC reticle. tractoptics.com The only wood aftermarket hunting stock I have tried was a Boyd’s laminate. It was ok, but your best bet would be to look for a take off Remington stock and have it bedded. Personally, while I...

    Range Report 300 blackout bullets: light, medium or heavy?

    I use the 110 Barnes with great results on deer and hogs. In an AR with collapsible stock for length of pull, it works really well with the younger grandkids deer hunting. I limit them to 150 yards since they aren’t capable of further anyway. I do consider using a different, ie cheaper, bullet...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns So the bastard child (40s&w) is now popular again?

    I saw that! That was a big implant. I wonder what the bullet was since it sure didn’t perform very well. Should we all encourage our women to get them for self defense?😂😂

    Suppressors Thunder Beast vs?

    I posted earlier that I love my 7 and 9 and while I won’t say there is nothing like TBAC, since I haven’t shot all of them, I will say I love mine. I have shot well over 500 rounds in my 7 and it still shoots 1/2 MOA - on a couple of custom rifles. (And I do shoot 5 rd groups) I might clean one...

    Should I use this brass?

    Posted last year that I had an oversized chamber. (Reamer drawing shows 0.3769"@0.20" from the head. Fired case measures 0.384"@0.25" from head, so about 0.007" over reamer! Sized case goes back to 0.374, so 0.010 expansion of brass. I have a replacement barrel so the questions are: should I...

    Hunting & Fishing Multipurpose Rifle... what is your opinion?

    Opinion - build it and you will love it for prs and the range and hunting where very little walking is require. But as others said, and my experience, you need something lighter for the walking.
