Man I hunted down in Western TX a few weeks back and didn't see anything like the ones you got! Sounds like a well managed spot for sure, thanks for sharing and nice bucks.

pun intended?

what is your goal? Just be able to hit a gong at 1000 yards? If that is all you're going for a PSA basic build with a Viper PST Gen 2 will do it, but you will likely spend a good amount of time chasing it. Repeatable hits at 1000 out of a semi-auto are doable, but it is not a cheap endeavor I'm afraid.

I want one of these.... i thought it would be cool for my kids to each pick out a color for a different piece in their online configurator thing. Would likely end up super ugly looking but would be a memorable gun for sure.

what is your daughter studying?

depending on which version of iPad youre looking to tote around I would suggest the Patagonia Atom Sling. I have one loaded down with EDC stuff and some med supplies and it goes with me everywhere. Small enough that you don't really notice it on your back but enough capacity to make it beneficial. Also not overly "tactical" looking. If you were into bag carry you could easily slip a smaller pistol in there inside a holster. You can easily swing it around front and have it ready to go.

solid price with the optics

BCM BCG? Willing to ship it?

Got mine as well, my first quality auto and this thing is a beast!

Ive got one that takes glock mags (I think gen 2). Like others have said the trigger is terrible, the charging handle is akward, and feels cheap overall. That being said I put a Sig Romeo5 on an arisaka offset mount and it has maintained accuracy and it goes bang everytime I have pulled the trigger.

I'm not sure why you would put two hookless lures on your rig. If the fish choses to hit the hookless lure you've lost your chance at that one most likely?

it all comes down to what you practice with and get comfortable with. I moved to all dots on my carry and training pistols a few years back and have plenty of reps with them. Moving back to iron sights at this point would be slower as I would have to "find" the sights vs my dot already being close to on target on my presentation. Just the opposite of what most people experience when moving to a dot for the first time. All personal preference, there are plenty of people who are very fast and very accurate with iron sights at any distance, and there are people who are fast and accurate at any distance with a dot. All of that being said I agree with everyone else here that most factory installed dots are not something I would trust for anything but a range toy. The RomeoZero optic that Sig puts on the 365 series guns are not something I would trust on a carry gun, they are plastic and very flimsy.

I don't own one but I believe the SCARs are notorious for killing optics

I would add that wolf on while you're at it, not many chances to pop one down here in TN!

photos look good. Something about it makes it look like an X-Macro, Hellcat, and Glock 19 had some sort of love child. Always good to see more competition in the market.
