    Hunting & Fishing Federal Terminal Ascent

    I used it this past weekend to hunt axis with. I had crap accuracy with the 30/06 175gr Federal TLR ammo, and only slightly better results with the Hornady ELD-X 178’s. I was almost ready to sell the gun and give up but saw this new ammo, and did some research. I bought a couple boxes and went...

    Is 6.5 CM ever used as military or LE sniper rifles?

    Our city has been working with us luckily and when we made our yearly big ammo purchase for the department, instead of 308 we just ordered 6.5. And re-barreling our older rifles wasn't too hard to get approved by the bean counters, when you compare a new barrel vs a whole new rifle. I think we...

    Is 6.5 CM ever used as military or LE sniper rifles?

    At the time, they did not offer a 140 GMX, and I just checked the Hornady website again so I don't give out bad info, but it appears they still don't offer anything in the GMX line heavier than the 120's for the 6.5. The Hornady rep we were working with told us that they were working on...

    Is 6.5 CM ever used as military or LE sniper rifles?

    Sorry to get back to ya'll late, spent the weekend axis hunting and have been battling the flu since coming back. Yeah I'm apart of the team from So Tex that went to 6.5. And so far it's been great. We shoot the Hornady 147 ELD-M TAP ammo and it's been a huge improvement in external ballistics...

    Is 6.5 CM ever used as military or LE sniper rifles?

    We were able to convince our team's command to let us switch over to 6.5 a little over a year ago. We had all our AI and GAP 308's re-barreled and have been loving it. Our city is on the South Texas coast and have windy days 7 days of the week, so it was easy for us to use the external...

    Proof barrel in larue predatar 7.62

    I’m a little late, but I swapped out my 16” Predatobr barrel for an 18“ Proof barrel. Both are 308’s. The rifle shoots great and is lighter and handier. I didn’t have any issues head spacing or cycling. The only issue I had was the barrel extension on the Proof was slightly girthier than the...

    WTS GAP Stainless Remington 700 300wm

    Kinda beefy. Haven't weighed her, but she's got some curves on her. With the standard fill stock and M40/M24 contour, she's at least 15lbs. But her weight and the break make that magnum recoil feel like nothing.

    WTS GAP Stainless Remington 700 300wm

    Hey guys, I built another 300wm and don't really need 2, so I'd like to sell a stainless Remington 700 in 300wm, that was chambered by the guys at GAP. It has a 26" Bartlien 1/10 twist 5R barrel, with an APA Fat Bastard break on it. The action is blue printed and trued, a Badger Ordnande 20...

    Hunting & Fishing Nilgai in Texas

    Yeah a lot of big guided hunt places have a minimum caliber for a few reasons, like 1; they don’t want to have to search around in the brush for their animals; 2 they don’t want an un-ethical kill; and 3 probably something that’s linked to all 3 is they’re average customer might not be the...

    Hunting & Fishing Nilgai in Texas

    I’ve hunted Nilgai in South Texas a number of times and have seen them taken with 308’s, 06’s, 7 mags, and 300WM’s. No large magnums yet. I use a 300WM with 230 Berger’s and haven’t lost one yet. I’ve only had one run a few hundred yards into the brush, and it was pretty fun tracking and...

    New PredatOBR

    Donr13, I caught them at the right time when they had caught up on their 16inch barrels so they had it them in stock. I just called them today to try and order a few for our SWAT team and they said they back to a 4 month wait. Hopefully they catch up soon for everyone.

    New PredatOBR

    That's what they say. So far the barrel it came with is match grade and shoots amazing. I post a picture of the accuracy but it wouldn't do the rifle justice, I know it can do better.
