Don’t think it’s been said already. I’ve always wanted a tc encore, but thought the stock options were horrible.
Given they seem to be shut down it might not be the smartest move. But if stockys made a shootable stock for the encore (re: Rokstock or vg2) I’d likely scrounge for a used receiver...
To add. The group here that has followed this thread with an open mind and made the change and seen the results for themselves has also had years of FNGs and others come in with same arguments over and over and refuse to acknowledge the actual results.
There’s a short leash for those not...
For the most part I think 10E gets it. But not having been around for the 3+ years of this threads existence causes some error in translation.
The video is great and entirely supports what this thread discusses. Nobody is arguing that a larger (175gr) tmk isn’t going to do more damage than a...
Sheesh guys... Goes live as I'm putting my kids to bed!
Got my order in at least. RH/sendero channel/no scallop/14.5" LOP + the cerakote request sent to the email.
In my experience this very much depends on your boss , company management, etc. Usually this is a play to reduce risk for the company number crunchers on PTO that would need to get paid out to employees. It gets it off their books. Unfortunately bad management can really ruin it for everyone...
just spent an hour trying to figure out what cerakote I should have UM do... but who am I kidding. Going to go bare stock so I can rattle can it myself.
cutting through the muscle it will be a much darker purple than the rest of the meat. If you clean off all the fascia and silverskin the meat under may be totally fine. I do my own processing and am pretty anal about getting all that stuff off.
is the meat actually bloodshot, or is it just blood throughout the connective tissue between muscles?
I'm 6 animals in now with the 6cm and 223 with match bullets after shooting a 30-06 and monos for years. I'm noticing a similar amount of blood in fascia tissue, but when doing final...
Being that the 76 yarder was mine (actually 90 yards but diagonally). I have no doubt that deer was dead on her feet when I hit it a second time. I wonder if the heart shot led to some of the distance and lack of blood since it wasn't pumping to drop the blood pressure?
I was actually...
160lb south Texas buck. Management deer off a friends low fence property. 130 yard shot. Black hills 77 tmk. 22” tikka. Ran 50 yards and piled up.
No exit. Centered a rib going in. Little bit of damage to the opposite side. But didn’t find any of the bullet.
100 lb doe. 124 yards. She ran...
124 yards. Factory 108 eldm. 140lb sow. Clipped the front of the scapula. No exit. Entrance is that spot of blood on the shoulder Already had a cooler full of venison so I only took the hams and backstraps. no autopsy pics.
Dropped right there, expired within 10s
Just got my tikka 223 set up and sited in today. Also took my 6cm and put ten more through it for funsies.
My little local range was a disaster. All 20 lanes full. Had a guy next to me in the same table pumping 308 out of a braked ar-10 and constantly shaking the table. Pretty good shooting I’d...
