I use both 15” and 26” encores in 25-06. The 100 Sierra Game King is sufficient to spectacular on deer and pronghorn, but quite excels on marmots (rockchuck cousin). My best anecdote: an old hand saw a marmot pop at about 80 yds uphill at about 30 degrees. His response: “that was the coolest...

Don't apply logic; they are a government agency.

Nope. Call 304-616-4500 with the serial and get their control number. And light your lazy dealer up! My customers all deserve better, and his do too. Give your rep all the info, including a copy of the F4 and the atf control number.

They have several status conditions. You want to be pending, as opposed to not in system. If not in system, look at when your check cashed. Error status is just that; you usually have 48 hrs after notification to fix the issue. Eforms program has several options too, as shown on the left side...

biednick gives sage advice above.

Many of the versatile breeds are awesome dogs. We have a first gen american gwp from imported german parents. I cant call her a vdd, but her parents are. She is amazing. 50#, looks like the Sasha dog pictured above, but bushier in the face. A real hot mess after drinking water. And if she gets...

Ask them. They provided their email. Im guessing a background check (fingerprints) response was provided but thats a guess.

I use an ultra5 on a 16” 308, a 6.5 ultra7 on a 6.5/284 and an ultra9 on a 280ai. Awesome cans. Ive never used one on a gas gun though.

Try Elite Irons Delta on your 223/5.56 AR. Low backblast and great tone.

I have had two customers (that I know of) call/write our representative and get nearly immediate results. One was a decorated war hero, one was an ordinary citizen. They do work for us and the House does hold the purse strings.

I used an MGM 20” 17 Hornet barrel until I traded into a 14” mgm 17 hornet barrel. Lost about 200fps going shorter and dont miss it at all. The sbr contender is amazingly accurate and also super quiet with a 223 can on it. 12.3 gr lil gun sends the 20 varmageddon 3450 and always into less than...

I got a Rokon. No worries packing/dragging (on unrestricted ground). Have used an atv for years. Even had two cow elk in the atv at the same time. Sure makes life easier. I acknowledge motorized isn't allowed everywhere; i don't hunt those places.

Oh heck yeah! Awesome. Pretty quick from concept to meat in the freezer. Well done

On the topics of straight walls, 1600 fps, lever guns & shot placement: I just shot a doe whitey at 100 yds with a henry lever 41. 210 sierra at 1600. Two shots through the heart, aiming at mid-shoulder. Had just confirmed zero yesterday before the hunting started. Dunno why i missed low...

The Hornady 300 hp is pretty soft and will expand readily. Not that it really needs to. Shoot a line of water-filled jugs to see it. Expect it to arrest in the 5th gallon, but it may go a little farther. Dont expect that to mirror what it does in an animal, just that it does relative to other...
