I get it. I've owned two primary vehicles since I graduated high school in 1992. Both were almost free because they were undesirable, but reliable. I have a vehicle that work provides. Any nice vehicle I've gotten, has been for my Wife and it needed to be able to carry a wheelchair. My Wife and kids always came first. Yes I have a 700 hp Studebaker and that was always an excuse for me to drive "junkie" trucks. I just turned 49 and I can afford what I want without the family being put in a bind. Frankly I'm the one limiting the price and I've wanted a nice truck for 10 years now. I'm in a position of being able to afford it and I'm trying to justify it to myself. I hate having to use the Wife's vehicle if I need to drive over 2 hours.

I'm still looking. It sucks, but I may end up with a Chevy trail boss with the 3.0 duramax turbo-diesel. I know some guys with them and the worst fuel mileage was 29 mpg. 700 miles on a single tank. I will be doing my research.

That letter is good for up to 1 year. You should let the gun tell you. Hold it like you're going to shoot it and see where your line of sight is. That will be the best spot for the center of the scope. Get rings that get you as close as possible to that alignment.

He needs to fill out a form 5. His friend is going to get everyone in deep s%/t. The fact that you're talking about it, proves it. Get them back and file the form 5, then decide what to do with them. It's free.

It all depends on what you are doing with it. I'm form 1ing a Christensen arms mmp now. It'll be used as a rifle, so all rifle rules apply. It's also suppressed. It'll be running a thermal 50% of the time and it's got a 2x7 on it now. The stock I'll be getting has a removable cheek piece. Ordering different sizes allows ypu to set up different scope heights. You could 3d print them also. A good 1x 6 is cool. I kind of want a 1x8 Nightforce. On 7x, my little Leupold isn't quite enough power. On 5x my Nightforce is almost too much power.

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/950422791 Just bite the bullet.

My kids killed their deer with a 16 inch 300 Whisper and a 5.56. I've put my kids on ARs from the start because the gun can grow with them. A 243 will kill any deer your kid will ever shoot at normal range and so will a 6.5 CM. I have a 6mm CM I shoot quite a bit and it's a very close to a 243.

Old post, but that works out bad if they empty their wepon in response to the sound.

I've used this for my side job for a while and recently upgraded to a N-vision xrf. Columbia

Clutch live last night. Got up at 4:30, worked 12, at the concert at 6:00. In bed at 2:00am..........up at 4:30.........got to work a 12........I'm getting older.... LOL

I've got a gun that has been by my side for years. No telling how many critters I've taken with this gun. At least 200 hogs. I'm really thinking of upgrading. I've never been sentimental about a gun. Studebaker yes......, but never a gun. It'll just sit in the safe until I die 80 ot 90 years from now. You guys ever get a little weird about letting stuff like that go?

LOL Same issue

So I got a chance to kill a hog with a knife this hunt. Is was not my intention, but it happened. Never ever go into a thickit looking for a wounded hog. LOL.

45 total for two nights. 44 with rifles and one knife fight with a wounded pissed off 190-210 pig. This was just the recovered pigs.

Correction They found 2 more pigs this morning. That makes 30. 3 shooters tonight.

Funny thing. They are dove hunting this weekend in one of the fields we killed pigs. We had to get them out of the field because they didn't want buzzards messing up the hunt. He said the game wardens always show up to the hunt as sit in the same spot to "observe". If the see any violations, they'll write tickets. Guess where we put 8 200 lb pigs......

I got one just past 400 yards last night. Right at the edge of the bullet expansion threshold. It doesn't sound like a long way, but for night hunting it's a pretty good clip.

28 for the night

8 down first set.

Form 1 for the gun Form 4 for the suppressor if you're getting one and not building one. You can do it as an individual also.

https://www.highplainshunts.com/ Did you hunt with these guys?

We will walk up to 800ish yards for each stalk. 6 to 10 a night with 20 lbs of guns and gear......in the dark....without lights. Elk hunters point and laugh at me, but it kicks my butt. I've never tried hunting with dogs and a knife. I've had to kill a few with a knife, but it wasn't planned. LOL
