    6.5CM AR choices: DD5v4 or something else?

    LMT MWS thread, page 84, post #4196. With some machining and a Proof conversion, @unclemoak got his rifle down to sub-13 lbs with optic. Then he proceeded to run that setup in a comp and did very well. LMT may still have some cheap LM8 uppers you could have chopped up.

    Definitely recommend an actual food plot. @Anb618 has some good advice. Winter wheat, cereal rye, radish, peas and oats work great in tandem or rotation. I'll also add that various types of clover are good options until later in the season.

    I will echo the suggestion of getting "last year's bow". I got my '21 Elite Enkore a few weeks ago for 20% off because they discontinued the camo pattern. If you don't plan on shooting it this season, maybe look at and shoot the bows in your price range AND one step up. By mid-spring to early...

    Best home defense is no suppressor? / zero distance

    You want to get groceries for your family of 8 with a fucking Ferrari, cool. Thinking of hitting the drag strip with your bone stock 7.3L Powerstroke '99 Excursion? I'll be cheering you on. Are their tools that work more effectively in certain situations than others? Definitely. Use whatever...

    Emerson liner lock failure and trip to E.R.

    Story time. Sitting at work one day, about 15 years ago, I found a golf ball that had the outer layer broken. I decided cutting into it would be a great way to pass the time. Stuck the tip in (just the tip) and rocked it back and forth. About 15 seconds after one of the senior medics told me...

    Cleaning house. One bolt action (caliber) for the man that probably doesn't need a bolt action.

    7mm-08. Run the factory Hornady 150gr ELD loads until you decide to roll your own. Then stuff a 162gr pill on there and hammer down.

    New Rifle: Seekins Havak HIT

    My main hesitation is the 223 bolt head. Anyone have an update on ETA?

    LMT barrel conversion question

    "...accuracy is hit or miss." If it's hit or miss, is it really accurate?? 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry y'all. And now back to sincere discussion. I truly think that LMT is pricing themselves out of the barrel business for their own rifles. Hell, with the MWS 6.5 conversion @unclemoak does using Proof CF barrels...

    Any love for PWS?

    Yeah you can carry a spare mag in that brace, but... EW! Lol. I appreciate all the info y'all. I just don't know. So many options. Maybe... Maybe I'll just start with a Mod2 upper and throw it on some random budget lower. If only I had one sitting around that I completely forgot about because...

    Any love for PWS?

    Won't be hunting much with it. The few places I have to coyote hunt are short walks in anyway. It will mostly be a range toy and additional "bump-in-the-night" gun. @Vivacious Stallion that accuracy sucks. I'm not expecting 1/2 moa but at LEAST under 2 (closer to 1 1/2) would be nice. How did...

    I currently have an SAS Arbitor and Sentinel. They are both gassy AF on my LMTs. Bootleg carrier helps though.

    Any love for PWS?

    Looking at the Mk111 Pro to dip my toe in the piston gun pool. I've watched all I could find on Pornhub, I mean YouTube. Is it worth the extra coin for the Mod2?

    224 Valkyrie

    My 20" LMT likes the factory Hornady 88gr load. I can get ~70% hits at 800 at TVP but 1k is a mofo. A lot of that could also be my lack of practice at those ranges.

    308 vs. 6.5 Creed in 16 inch lightweight bolt gun for mountain trekking

    A little video from @coldboremiracle. Build a .260 and feed it some of these. (Below) But then again, I'm not an avid hunter or long range shooter, so...
