Mid hunting season update
I’ve taken 4 does so far this season, ranges were 150ish, 250, 375, & 660. All great terminal results. The doe at 660 I pulled the shot right and didn’t catch her square in the shoulder, it was a little more forward than I would’ve liked. She ran 150-200yds and died.
The only drawback to the rifle is the weight.
It gets a bit cumbersome with the suppressor, I’ll leave it on this year as all my data is with it and ditch it next year.
The Bushnell DMR is just too damn heavy, I’m looking at a Leupold VX6 3-18x44 to replace it along with a SLR Ion lite handguard should shave over a pound off the rifle.
I don’t feel too bad about the weight, I saw X ring built a “light weight” AR10 in 6mm creedmoor that was dripping in carbon fiber and it came in at 12lbs with the can and it was all purpose built light weight stuff. Mine is 12 without the can.
My question to the hide is what are your thoughts on trying a JP low mass bolt carrier?
I’ll give KAK & JP a call after the holidays to see what they have to say.
