BTTT Am I too high? I'm open to criticism on this, wanna get these sold.

What military was this? When?

I can understand that, and have thought long and hard on the same question. I typically bring 2 or 3 rifles with me when hunting, usually a rifle for what I’m hunting (squirrels,deer, etc) and a pig gun. This rifle I’m looking to build will primarily be used as a predator hunting rifle in 223...

Heres a good thread I found elsewhere on the internet that details some of this stuff. Its not a scientific study, but good real life info I feel. https://www.okshooters.com/threads/spp-versus-srp-versus-spm-testing-results.304327/

Up for sale is my pair of Howa Heavy Barrelled rifles. I am selling to build something custom that would be better suited for my style of hunting. First up: Howa 1500HB 308WIN purchased new as a barreled action from a local shop a few years ago. less than 100 rounds down the tube, practically...

Thats the truth. Do you know if Mr. Beanland will sell components, or would that be contingent on him getting to build the rifle? I figure I would ask before calling him about it.

Thanks for the PVC pointer, I didn't think of that. My only complaint about the XWave is that its pretty big, which means harder to pack in and harder to stick in trees/bushes. I'll tend to park my truck 1/4-1/2 mile away from where I plan on setting up. Definitely make an effort to be as...

Its not terrible for a rifle, but pretty heavy for a hunting rimfire I feel. Should be right under 8lbs with everything on it. I replaced all the plastic on the rifle with aluminum parts too. I bought it for both target shooting and hunting, so I did have to compromise somewhere. Its definitely...

So I’ve more or less finalized my plans with this build, now to start piecing things together and waiting for sales. I’m also looking for any experiences with these stocks: AG composites Alpine Hunter AG composites Privateer KRG bravo AG composites Sportsman Grayboe Phoenix The list is more...

I have a decent stock of the 175GR 308 Win Terminal Ascent bullets. Have had some catastrophic blow through on 200+lb hogs at 120+ yards. Never retrieved the projectile. They’ve been boringly consistent for me when shooting at targets. Not the same caliber or game, but that’s been my...

I’ve been out coyote Hunting a total of 4 days since deciding to pick it up, and while I haven’t snagged one yet, I’ve developed some good questions. I’ve done some reading in many places and haven’t seen much on these, so I hope these questions aren’t beat to death. A little background, I live...

Super generous, good looking out.

My two favorites: My trusty Henry H001 in 22LR, fitted with a Primary Arms 6x32 ACSS scope. Deadly on squirrels. I shot these three within 20 minutes of getting out of the truck. Absolutely love the rifle and the scope. My trusty CZ457 with a leupold VX something 4-14x40 scope and all the...

I feel that 308 is plenty of gun for pigs, but regardless, they’re tough animals. I put a 175gr federal terminal ascent through a sow at 120 yards a while back, blew an artery out the baseball sized exit wound, and she still ran 150 yards. I tend to pick my pig gun based upon where and how I’m...

They still do. These are the fancy Federal Premium Terminal Ascent cartridges. Notice the loops on the side.
