I have 3. They are great guns. You can’t beat that quality for the money.

No, I too have seen Whitetail stand there after a shot. Red Deer, Aoudad and Antelope too. All supersonic. The deer in my profile was a free range deer. The dozen does around him jumped, then went right back to eating. Last month, I was hunting Aoudad in W Texas. (Not me shooting) Three...

Thats a good point. Tone is an often overlooked component of suppression.

I usually keep about 10 wraps of electric tape around the barrel, close to the muzzle. Pull off a long strip, put it over the muzzle or can opening, wrapping it down on the can or muzzle (if no can) and another strip goes around that to secure it. If you shoot multiple times, that tape around...

Get a shorter rifle. There really is no need to remove it, it’s worth dealing with it, over going without. Game reacts differently to a shot w a can. I dropped my rangefinder on an Antelope stalk and overestimated the distance and shot over him … twice. That buck stuck around after me...

AAC and Remington did a Mod 7 collaboration,10 years or so ago. I picked one up on an impulse buy. I wasn’t expecting much, wasn’t sure I’d ever use it. I found a camo McMillan on sale and one of my favorite guns was born. Throw a Leupold VX-R 1.25-4 on it, with a Silencerco Omega on it...

I have had great luck w H110 with 220 and 240’s and 4227 with 190’s. I never changed a thing on my lowers. Just shot them with a standard H2 buffer.

Yes. Even shooting 190 Nos CCs, it will exit a broadside pig and kill the pig next to it. I have done it successfully 3 times. Other times, couldn’t confirm a 2nd kill. They made some 240 gr SMKs for a while, can’t find them now. I bought 1200 of them. They are just as deadly As a 190.

Yeah, that sounds like a good time. But, I fear our relationship with Russia may be strained beyond repair for quite a while.

They aren’t?

Hunt of a lifetime? Well, it would have to be a Big 4. Botswana Elephant and then Leopard behind bushman trackers in the Kalahari. Up to Tanzania for a beautiful Lion and some of those big Masai Buffalo. That should top $300k if I do it right. So, since I don’t have $300k in my hunt budget...

243. I know … it’s a good round. Just hate it. The 6.5 manbun. The hype is ridiculous.

At some point in the pursuit of perfection, you have to stop and say “Am I overthinking this?”

Yeet Cannon. But I expected it to be a train wreck of a gun. For $150, I got what I paid for.

Ruger Mini14. Absolute trash. I actually bought this gun twice, thinking the first was a dud. Nope. Trash. 6” groups on the best days.
