Progressives are insidious in their tactics. If they (the companies) were unaware of what was going on, they can (and should) easily correct it. Backcountry Hunters and Angers based in Missoula, Montana is apparently a virulently anti-2nd Amendment...

I’m looking to move up the food chain from the extremely basic free ballistics app I currently use. Looking at Strelok Pro and TRASOL, these two seem to consistently come up in ballistics app discussions. Setting aside 4DOF for now because I’m not a...

There’s nothing wrong with a 5.56 SBR. Bonded soft points expand down to ~1800 FPS. A 10” unsuppressed 5.56 sbr without earpro will damage your hearing. A 10” 300 Blk will damage your hearing without earpro, regardless of ammo. I’ll take the 5.56 any day. Ammo is cheap and I don’t have to...

Go buy a nice AK. Shoot it, enjoy it. It will go bang when you ask it to. Stick a Bakelite full of Hornady SSTs in it and put a flashlight on it for when you need it at night. Don’t NOT buy an AK because of anything I said. But... I don’t take my Arsenal out to crush steel at 500m, or run...

My experience, living in mud, sand, dust and ice, has been that an M4 lubed with CLP never failed me. The AK has soul, but I’ll take an LMT MWS or a Colt LE6920 every day over any AK ever made for serious use.

I spent some time around a bunch of guys with AKs (Afghan National Army/Police/COP). I’ll take my AR any day, every day. This thread is about the OP’s question though, not our respective opinions about the platform.

I love AKs, fell in love with them the first time I shot Polish select-fire AKs in a training course, and I strongly disagree. The AR-series with smokes AKs easily in accuracy and equals them in reliability. Just think... the AR platform has an ejection port dustcover. That’s a bigger deal...

If you want a nice AK to shoot and just mess around with occasionally, Arsenal all the way. I’d recommend looking on eBay and getting a set of Russian laminate for it if you want wood furniture. Just make sure you get milled furniture if you get a milled Arsenal (SAM7). Wasr is solid and...

I’d do a 6.5 Grendel in a semi for your role. You guys have to admit though, a 14.5 P/W 7-twist bolt 30-06 folder throwing 230 hybrids suppressed would be... kinda badass.

No. It will be decades before anything takes the place of 5.56.

The 7.62x63mm is a monster, 6.5 Creed ballistics with a 208gr-215gr bullet. Crushes a 308.

He’s probably referring to the 7.62x63mm. Hell of a round with an 8” barrel I imagine.

I have three years of use on my Osprey, Kestrel 38 I think. The only damage I’ve done to it is tearing up one side mesh pocket by stuffing it full of sharp rocks. I have easily 200 days of hiking-type use on it, multiple airline flights, shot off of it, carried 60+lbs in it on occasion and it’s...

My experience with the VX2 and VX3 Leupolds has been what you just experienced. I sight 2.5 inches high at 100y and call it good. They don’t track for shit. I think the trick is not to “chase” the impacts while sighting in and tap the scope a bit after adjusting. The recoil of a few shots...

I strongly prefer having 3-4x on the bottom end of any hunting rifle, just for the times you kick out something at 10-50 yards. I went K318i, the TT 3-15 would be an awesome choice though.

Holy hell, great deal. The 3-15 M5 has a great FOV, I’ve popped moving coyotes while calling at like 20m with mine. If you buy a T5 over that, you’re an idiot.

The 167gr Scenar shoots fantastic for me at about 2720fps. I’m tempted to use it for elk, I generally prefer high shoulder and neck shots. Anyone used it for similar sized game?

Don’t forget the 155s pushed at proper speeds is better at unknown distance as well.

“There ain’t many problems that a man can’t fix With a couple hundred dollars and a 30-06.”

That’s right. The 30-06 predated both the 6.5 Creed and your presence on this site by 100 years. It’s a beast.
