With all the left-wing discussion of gender and how we perceive male, female, gay, transgender, etc.... Why not just buy any deer tag and shoot whatever we want? We can always claim that the doe was just a buck in drag.

Those groups do seem large. Maybe it's a lemon. I'd call Barrett and start a conversation. I'm shooting an inexpensive Howa 1500 in 6.5 CM. It's on a different stock and uses a Vortex Diamondback Tactical scope. After 30 rd breakin, shoots inside 1/2" at 100 yds consistently using Hornady...

Howa barreled action or 1500 rifle, Boyds or Promag Archangel stock, Vortex Diamondback or Viper PST scope. Mod the stock a little and add a REAL bipod like a Harris.

That's an entirely different scenario. 6.5CM is good to around 400 yds, maybe a little more, and is a VERY good choice to that range. But when the ante is upped to > 700 yds, then the solution changes.

How do you want to define "long range deer" in the context of this survey?

How are your results today? Inquiring minds want to know. ;-)

Before I bought my Howa 1500, I downloaded the manual and read it cover-to-cover. I haven't run into any manufacturers that don't have their manuals available online. I have to disclose that I have a little better than average web savvy. But it's pretty common nowadays to have owners manuals...

VERY NICE! Where did she take that buck?

It's a tail-out with plenty of scuds. Dead drift a weighted or bead-head gray or olive scud #16 or #18 under an indicator midstream. Get it down a few feet. My goal is to see how many times I can catch and release a daily limit. Doesn't take long to figure it out. Take extra flies. The...

Just wait until it gets hot and humid later in the month and into August. It's an acquired taste. The good news is that there is some trout fishing in the tail-outs of some of the TVA lakes. If you're in Nashville, check out the Caney Fork just below Center Hill Res. It's 45 minutes or...

You're sub-MOA now. If the groups start to open to MOA or worse, then consider other action. But if that happens, there are several things to do before bedding including checking the torque on the action bolts and rings, and whether the scope is jumping our of zero. Maybe consider testing...

I see most other brands of rifles noted in the forum comments, but rarely, if any, mention of Howa or LSI. Is there a problem with these rifles? They seem to produce guns in widely used calibers and have a variety of models. It's also easy to get barreled actions for building a budget custom gun.

According to a blog... The winner used a 416 Barret Second place was a 375 CheyTac More info: https://precisionrifleblog.com/2018/07/05/what-the-pros-use-king-2-miles-edition/

And why is that? "Anything" is a pretty big category.
