Missed it by that much!🫣😁🤣

I have had this knife for several years and although I am not a fan of liner locks, it has became one of my favorites. Recently I loaned it to my son to strip some electric wires and the blade snapped off. Kershaw's web site asks $7 for shipping and $25 for non warranty work. I had also broken...

Congratulations! My wife and I had our 43rd wedding anniversary on April 3rd. Man does time fly

I love the .243 and if I could only have one cartridge it would be one of the top two on my list. If I were to rebarrel for the .243 I would do it in a 1-8 or so twist.

It was standard BCG, no rubber donut or stronger spring. Called in two coyotes, shot one and transitioned to the second and was unable to make second shot. Noticed shell was still in chamber so hunt was finished until I could go back home and remove the shell. When I pulled the BCG out I...

Ikeman83 nailed it! Of the three cartridges mentioned by the op I have used all of them. The only AR I ever had fail on me was the 6.5 Grendel when the shell extractor broke while coyote hunting. Its a great bullet but the deeper bolt face is an Achillies heel. The 6 ARC is one of the most...

Tempting….love the .243😁

A couple of things that I noticed while skimming this thread that Id like to add my two cents worth. IDPA was mentioned by one poster,my wife and I shot IDPA for several years (several years ago) and a little USPSA. It was very eye opening when drawing and shooting from concealment and...

Ive been thinking about venturing into the .300 Blackout. Has anyone tried a Hammer bullet or something similar for the .300 blackout for subsonic loads?

I would have to agree. I had a couple Nikon scopes and wound up giving them away. Decent cameras but there is a reason they don’t make scopes anymore. I have used StrelokPro for several years and found it to be on for me but I have never used it beyond 750 yards so take what I say with a grain...

i think he meant twist rate......like 1-10 or 1-8

Are they shooting IDPA matches this year also?

Rechambered in .260 😁

If your prior service there are several optics that will give you a discount. I mention this because it was said early on but spend more for a good optic (and trigger) As far as caliber, I am partial to the 6mm's and 6.5's but I'll admit I have never owned a 7mm 08 but if in your shoes I would...

In about 2018 I shot a doe at about 170-180 yards with a .260, even with the heart cut in half the deer ran about 45-50 yards before piling up. The second deer was shot at around 50 yards with a .44 magnum, ran over and collapsed below my tree stand. Point being, even with the engine blown...
