I'll have a look to see but I'm 6'5 and 300 pounds and it is rock solid strong with me on it.

My bud says the shiny looking writing in the pic looks weird. That is just a plastic protector that slides off. Like new underneath.

Not wanting to take over Erich's thread but can share what bit i know about the XM21 and it's commercial M21 enhanced version. Have a look at the Wiki page on the military history of the M21 and you'll find National Match M14s got a boost from riflestock and scope add-ons to be more accurate for sniper work. That improved system paid big dividends in backing off the enemy snipers plinking on our troops. To capitalize on those successful accuracy enhancements, commercial builders brought forward product which sometimes improved over what was acceptable to the military. On top of that, precise dual stage trigger geometry became a thing. In my opinion, Springfield Armory's version was the most refined and is probly what Erich is looking for. Hard to find and runs 300-400 bucks but is a definite improvement over the factory stick.

Has anyone tired the VNSH holster?
SmokyBaer replied to monkeylizard's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I've had the VNSH in my cart twice now and everytime i go to complete the order, a little voice says, "naw!" Not sure if it's their web format or constant barrage of ads but something just ain't right. If you go thru with it, please let us know how goes. Like you, i'm curious but not enough to just add to the pile of flopped holsters. Smoky -
I was just there today and didn't notice anything diffrent.

for-sale S&W 629 Performance Center 44 Magnum Hunter
SmokyBaer replied to SmokyBaer's topic in Firearms Classifieds
I've been asked questions about what the PC 629 is and how does it shoot. Well, my round count for this one is less than a 50 round box so not really extensive testing BUT i can certify it is accurate and the muzzle brake definitely tames the recoil. Clearly an apple popper at 50 yards and maybe a 100 on a good eye day. Could easily be scoped using the built on pic rails. For a fun range cannon or handgun hunter, it is top shelf, imo. That said, here's one of a very few reviews i could find... GunsMag on PC629 Magnum Hunter Thanks for looking and if you are interested, i am open to reasonable offers. Let me know what you're thinking with a PM and maybe we'll do a deal. Smoky -

SmokyBaer replied to SmokyBaer's topic in Firearms Classifieds
Solid rifle as is but i can swap out the Raptor charging handle and remove the PA scope if you want a better price for just the original rifle. Not a big deal. Let me know. Smoky BIBLE BULLETS M14 GAS SYSTEM TWEAKS -

Thanks for the great thought starters. After looking at more ballistics, i found the 6.5 PRC is almost identical to the age old 270 winchester. Even bullet weights mirror at 143 versus 145 gr. although the coefficients are slightly different. Think i'm gonna wait for the 7 PRC rifles to come on out. Thanks for all the input.

Interesting. Sounds similar to the 308/30-06 debate. Right on about cost of ammo too. Crazy high when found. Thanks for the input. Smoky -------------------------------------- BIBLE BULLETS

Found this interesting... BURNING OUT A 6.5 BARREL Granted, we won't be running a 1000 rounds thru a bolt gun in a few hours but it is worth noting the guy's groups were still pretty decent after the barrel got hurt a bit. Smoky -------------------------------------- BIBLE BULLETS

Maybe.... I do know the 65 Creedmore doesn't get me anything my dear 308s can't do right now unless considering a bit less drop past 600 yards. Ever since selling my 8mm mag decades ago, i been wanting a laser beamer that don't kill on both ends of the rifle. It's suppose to be fun. The 65 PRC has more juice at 1000 and about the same recoil as my 308 so by the charts, maybe i am subconsciously drawn to it. Short action too. BIG downside is ammo availability but just have to watch closely for some to show up. Two bucks a pop will slow down the barrel wear too. Only money tho, right? Anyways, don't need another 308 so looking at options. Most of the youtubers talk big on the PRCs so figured to have a look around before plunking down green based on a shill's advice. Just stirring up real conversation amongst us end users. Smoky -------------------------------------- BIBLE BULLETS

Long range for me used to be 3-400 yards. These days I have access to 1200 but I'll be doing good to group well at 800. My 500 yard groups aint bad lately with my 308 but it is gonna run out of steam past 600. Since I'm looking at adding a caliber to the herd, I was looking at more than just target. Something big enough for elk at 300.

Very good points. Was looking at the 2020 Waypoint which has a lifetime warranty thus JUST rebarrel whenever it needs one. The cost is a lot more than a Bergara so there is a trade off. Still not turned off of the PRC enough to consider something else. Will keep looking at diffrent makes. All suggestions considered.
