PVA “Osprey” prefit that @slowelk had made. I think it’s a 22” #2 contour and had a built in flare at the muzzle (nice touch). Literally all I did was thread it on, torque, check w go/no go and load w 180gr ELDMs. Box ammo was a little slow at 2850fps. Hand loads are at 2950 w out any pressure...
Anyone have experience with Montana Rug and Tanning out of Arlee, MT? Looks to be a well established business, owner answered the phone and answered all my questions without hesitation.
Family is mostly
Family is from/in Preston and Taylor counties. Haven’t been through Elkins in years, but I remember it being really pretty.
That .224 will last someone forever. GLWS
I like their game bags, but they are very heavy compared to most other offerings. Like a full lb heavier for bone off elk kit. Def seem like they'll last forever thought
So if I have a Tikka Lite barrel threaded to 5/8-24 I should find a collar to seat against. Currently just screwing suppressor on until it snugs up, but seems less than ideal. Is this just a clamp on collar, or is there a threaded collar that I can find somewhere that would line up appropriately?
Currently using automotive header wrap (works great) with a hose clamp on either end. Guessing the silicon wrap might move a little less ( be a little sticky?) and or be lighter.
Folly Beach was home for years… I can’t adult in that town, but will be back in June for a week.
Bowen’s Island
Wreck of the Richard and Charlene
Surf Bar if you are staying on Folly for drinks.
Lewis BBQ is legit
Far East end of Folly Beach
Depends on which part of town you are staying...
Gohunt at the end says if code "CRWM" is used for a membership $100 will go to CRWM, no only that but the go hunt guys will personally match the funds with their own $. Sounds to me like they are putting their $ where their mouth is.
The article brings up wildlife being held in Trust.
Newberg did a great podcast on wildlife being a "public trust" resource, I encourage a listen. Newberg explains that as part of his day job he is charged with managing "Trusts". The gist of his argument is that while wildlife is held in trust...
I'm around 2600 fps w a 18" barrel, 140 eldms hit 1800fps right around 600 yards at my elevation (6800ft). H4350 and CCI LRP.
Before I chopped the factory Tikka barrel I was hitting 1800 fps at 750 yards.
Semi serious question, can I just duct tape a piece of welding blanket/felt on and call it a day? Could get fancy and sew some Cordura on the outside. Mirage has been driving me nuts after 2-3 shots, but $80 for a can condom?
What is the expected difference between the S2H (U) and the three day shooting class? How many rounds would a guy need to bring?
Will you be shamed for not shooting a black bear with the .223 after class? The outfitter recommends a "big bore" rifle, maybe they mean a mighty 6.5mm?
