Re: MN member checking in!

that's probably what I'll use for deer hunting this year, .223AI loaded with 75 A-Max.

been hunting for about 15 years though and fired 1 shot so it probably won't matter.

I had some parts here, sale parts from Midway, other peoples used junk and I came out with a nice little rifle

Rem 700 action I trued and made a KMW style knob

Douglas 1 in 8 twist barrel Midway had on clearance for $119, cut to just shy of 22" .750 muz diameter and threaded 1/2-28

Midway also had Mickluk compensators on sale so it wears one, or a suppressor when it arrives.

B&C tactical stock in natural gear cammo

BDL bottom metal, I took the mag box apart and recut and tig welded the spacer to allow for about a 2.56 OAL

Rifle Basix trigger take off from Bauer Arms

Seekins base,Burris XTR rings and a Falcon Menace 4.5-18 X56 scope I got a deal on.

Hopefully get things Cerakoted in the next day or two and get it sighted in

 
Re: MN member checking in!

Damn Noah your fast... Yep nailed a large doe, gave it to her at about 145yrds right in the chest...But will pop up pics and more details later...
 
Re: MN member checking in!

Well shit....I forgot to get the pics off of my Dads camera (forgot mine) The deer I spine shot though has a GAPING hole in it...bigger than I originally thought...I'll tell ya this much....Im not going to shoot them in the spine again...nothing but neck from here on out with that thing....

Im not going to spoil it for Chris, Ill let him tell you what that little Amax did....all I will say is WOW.....makes me glad I didnt try the 220SWIFT with the 40gr VX's.....@ maybe 4500fps or so....I need to Chrono that load Chris....

Anyone know if Benchmark would work well with the 220SWIFT? I need a faster powder than RL15 and I dont want to go buy a pound just to try a few rounds...Im crushing powder with my current load and Im not getting enormous pressure....in fact its kinda minimal....

What else will work with that bolt face?

Using my best voice from the dad on "That 70's Show"

YOU DUMB ASSSSSSS!!!


And I figured it would work....how much faster burning powder is it than RL15....Ill look for a burn rate chart....but in case I cant find one....

And seams to me some little troll out there still owes me 4lbs of powder!!

Now THATS funny shit!!!
 
Re: MN member checking in!

Looks like Noah is coming down here on Saturday and we are going to assemble an AR from parts if anyone is interested come on down!
wink.gif
If we have time maybe run to ER for a quick shoot too...
 
Re: MN member checking in!

Dude....what would it cost for me to go shooting there in ER? Forgot what the non-member costs were to come and shoot.....

Maybe I could throw together a few rounds....wont be alot though...and I wouldnt be able to shoot for too terribly long......

What range would be shooting....the 600?
 
Re: MN member checking in!

New MN guy here. In the Brainerd area just checking in. Met a couple on here already hope to meet a few more. Learning a lot by reading hope to see you at a range soon.

Take care,
Dave

Re: MN member checking in!

Should have had a Bauer Arms Overnight party:

Woke up to a loud boom and scraping in front of Bauer Arms this morning and look what was in the road in front of the house! Looks like she fell asleep at the wheel and woke up before crashing into my neighbors house but flipped her car over a couple times before coming to a stop across the street!

Driver is fine, local PD and I pulled the windshield back enough to get her out. Bit cold and shaken up but she was wearing seatbelt and seems fine! Pretty amazing to me since our road is only a 30mph road!

OK, time to make some coffee and wake up I guess...
