Thank you! It’s the Swagger Hunter 29. I love this bipod! I was very skeptical when I first saw it so started doing some research. Really wish I’d heard about these things before now.

I mounted the Swagger bipod to the 6.5 tonight. I also got the Area 419 Hellfire adapter and mount for my SilencerCo Omega. If you haven’t looked into them you should. I also picked up an Armageddon Gear hi temp suppressor cover. Recommended from a good friend who has used them for a while now.

I picked up a Savage 110 Tactical Desert in 6.5 Creedmoor a few weeks ago. Still haven’t made it to the range yet, had a cold that’s hanging on and won’t let go. Hoping to get out this weekend and test it. Everything is stock as from the factory, 24” threaded barrel, oversized bolt handle, adapters for longer LOP and comb height, accutrigger and accustock. I put Nightforce ultralight rings on the factory EGW 20 moa rail, then mounted and torqued the Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24x50 into place. I put a Harris bipod on it but will also be running my Swagger bipod on this rifle when coyote hunting. I recently picked up a Vortex bubble level as well so I put it on during this process. The rifle looks and feels great. I haven’t messed with the comb height or LOP adapters yet but will when I finally take it out. I’m curious to see what the 6.5 can do but didn’t buy it because of the internet fame. I was looking at a few 22-250 rifles for coyote hunting. Later a buddy of mine were discussing the pros and cons and we got to talking about the 6mm Creedmoor. I was definitely interested in the 6mm but decided to go with the 6.5 mainly for access to factory ammo. I will be hand loading eventually but for now, there are many choices of quality ammo available. Anyway, I’m excited to have it and ready to get out and enjoy it, especially with the SilencerCo Omega out front!

My thoughts as well. Not like they stole a $150 shotgun from a pawnshop(not that it should be taken lightly either) but NFA items out the wazoo and they’re like “We’ll call you when we’re ready for ya, don’t go nowhere now, ya hear?!”

Wow that’s a lot of stuff!!!

Man that’s crazy!!! So glad she did have a guardian when this happened. I’ve seen way worse outcomes from what only seemed to be a fender bender! Glad she’s okay.

Foxes, bobcats, and coyote

It’s sad they have to make rules like this but if not, there’d be people hunting days ahead of time and stacking them up guaranteed. Keeping the honest man honest I guess? It should be a good turnout and we’re really looking forward to it. Just wondering if anyone else on here had heard about it. Wish I’d posted earlier but it’s been very busy.

Anyone else here taking part in this hunt Feb 2&3?

Looking forward to it. Have a budget spotting scope that my wife just bought me. Gonna see how it does.

I bought my wife an sr9c several years ago. She carries a M&P Shield 9mm now but she still has the Ruger. I still enjoy shooting the sr9c when we take it out. It has been very reliable and even though the Shield is more comfortable by a small margin, it’s a pleasure to shoot and always goes bang. Hate to hear they’re shutting it down though. Wonder if the Shields popularity has anything to do with this decision?

My father in law is really wanting one of these. Let us know how you like it!

Wow!!!

I’ve found a couple and even have game camera pictures of the buck rubbing it on later visits. Pretty cool!

I can tell you which one wasn’t my favorite when I was in first grade. We sat up and watched Salem’s Lot. Yep, cheesy compared to today’s stuff but scared me to death when I was 5!! I had a kid sized rocking chair like my Dads full size one. When the kid was getting buried and the guy jumped in the casket after everyone left, and the kid sat up....Yep, right over backwards I went!! But nowadays I’d have to say Halloween (Michael Myers) movies would be my go to for favorite Halloween movies.

I got up at 330 and in my stand at 5 and still bumped a deer on the way to the tree. Sat there in the dark just knowing I’d see good movement. Only saw one button buck and a doe. Sat out till 1:30 in case midday movement was better then headed to the hayride. I got chilly around 8 and mainly because I was so excited about the cool weather that I left my jacket in the dang truck. Supposed to be a lot of rain tomorrow and I’m still at the cookout so I may not get out in the morning.

I have an annual family hayride/bonfire Saturday afternoon but I’m hunting before I head up there. I’m excited about both of my plans on Saturday and being cooler makes both more enjoyable

I didn’t hunt Saturday afternoon or any at all inn Sunday. I figured if I wasn’t seeing anything I’d give the place a rest from me smelling it up with sweat. This cold front coming in tonight is sure making me wish I was off tomorrow and Friday!

I’ve never had a deer spook from the smell. I’d say if it was close enough that it smelled the Thermacell then it could smell you anyway. They make Earth scents as well but I’ve used regular for years and never had issues. But it is night and day difference as far as keeping mosquitoes off versus sprays. Within five minutes of turning it on they’re gone. I keep an extra fuel refill and extra pads in my backpack. I wanted to add that I thought the same thing for years when I first heard about Thermacell. But swatting mosquitoes scares more deer than the smell of the repellent. I wish I’d done it a long time ago. I only started using them when I began bow hunting. I used to only rifle hunt and didn’t have much trouble with mosquitoes at that time of year unless I hunted close to water on a warmer day.

Yeah it wasn’t bad until about 8:30 and it started heating up pretty quick. Yep, mosquitoes started attacking early so I turned on the Thermacell and had relief in five minutes. When I turned it off and climbed down at 10, they were tearing me up again while I packed up my stand and sticks! Vicious lil suckers! I’m excited about this coming weekend too, maybe the movement will pick up. Been pretty light for me this past week.

A good cold front should fix that for ya! I know I’ll sure be excited for one.

You ain’t kidding!! I still didn’t see anything, left at 11:30. Checked my cameras on the way out and found a new rub line! So I’m gonna set up my Lone Wolf stand close to it in the morning and hope for the best.

Thanks for posting this, first I’d heard of it. Looks good, been an Eastwood fan since I was a little kid.

Sitting in a tree this morning, not too hot but a tad muggy and thanking the inventor of the Thermacell right now!! No movement yet but hopeful.

Just got back home, it got pretty warm after 11am! I saw one of the does that had twins this year and both her youngings were rolling through the woods with her like they owned the place lol. Nothing else but some squirrels but good morning to be out.
