Been thinking about picking up a Winchester XPR in 7mm MAG. There is a rebate right now, been reading good things on them, and I want a synthetic 7mm. I've been kind of thinking about an X-Bolt, but the price and reviews on these Winchesters has my curiousity peeked.

Anyone held one? Shot one?

Not looking at the combo, but here is a Cabela's link: http://www.cabelas.ca/product/86967/winchester-xpr-bolt-action-rifle-w-vortex-crossfire-ii-3-9x40mm-scope?productVariantId=250529&ps=True&utm_source=gel&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=17-FGOD-e2&email=aWFubWNpbHdhaW5lQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ==

I've never shot a 7mm before, but I like what I'm reading about it.

The 7mm Remington Magnum offers ballistics better than the .30-06 Springfield with bullet weights of 175 grains and less, one of the more popular loads being a 160 grain spitzer loaded to 3,000 ft/s (910 m/s).

That's the makings for a good hunting rifle for larger game. Far more precise than my 45/70 hole puncher.
:lol

[Zedbra]

I already have a 7mm MAG and I love the calibre, but my rifle is an older wood/blued combo and I like the synthetic/stainless. Very flat, easy to fine tune hand loads with 7mm MAG. I think I am just in the 'want a new rifle' mode - need to calm it down, finish my AR first. lol.

[Hondaracer]

I have a synthetic Tikka T3 in 7mm it's been awesome. It's been a great companion in the bush for years for me now, it's so easy to handle and traverse logs etc have loved it since I got it.

My dad and I have both been shooting 7mm mag for as long as I can remember. Taken many animals with them between the both of us. Only caliber for me

With that said I'm going to need a new scope for my gun this season, I have been shooting with an old bushnell elite for the last 7-8 years, any recommendations for somthing under $400?

I've liked what I've seen in a few friends variable optics

[Zedbra]

I have been very happy with my Nikon Monarch 3 4-16x50mm on both my .270 and my 7mm MAG. Very clear glass, lots of light transmission, and robust - one dropped out of my ATV boot doing 35kph, scratched the scope bell, and it still held zero.

Sadly, they used to be $500ish, but their price has jumped. Their Prostaff line is cheaper - they are a 2 piece construction but the glass is excellent as well - I have a few of them. If you are okay with a 4-10 mag, that will fit under $400.

[incubus]

Nikon scopes are great.

There's a great promo going on Zeiss which ends sometime this week. I know Zed has had bad luck with these scopes LoL.

But Nikon price point can't be beat

[RRxtar]

you guys hunting with 7mmRM. what factory ammo are you using for deer?

Im keeping an eye out for a Tikka T3 or T3x stainless for hunting and I keep seeing tons of 7mmRMs for sale, but I think thats almost a little too much horsepower for deer. Great caliber for larger game tho.

[Zedbra]

I only reload for my 7mm MAG, no factory ammo. As for too much calibre? Never heard of a deer not being dead enough.... ;) I have loaded and tried some 130g loads worked for smaller game - same as most peoples' .270 "deer" gun. However, I find both my 7mm MAG and my .270 both prefer 150g bullets - just right for large and small game.

I'm sure there are many mouse fart loads you could find for 7mm MAG, just can't help you with factory ammo recommendations (though when I do buy factory loads I usually only buy Norma, so that I can have the brass for reloading).

Now that Grouse River is gone, it seems a bunch of Wholesale Sports will be shutting down too. I wonder if they'll be blowing stuff out or just shipping it to other locations.

[originalhypa]

Wholesale is done. They're selling everything this weekend.
I'm on the way now.

[Zedbra]

^ I've heard the deals aren't that great, from what I have heard. Give it some time, prices will drop.

[originalhypa]

You're right, nothing spectacular this early in their sale.
I need ammo though. And reloading bits and pieces so when the world ends on September 23rd, I'm fully prepared.

:troll:

[Zedbra]

I did like their selection of reloading bullets, I may have to go and look for some more for my .270 and 7mm MAG

[blkgsr]

Tiger Arms had some really prices on ammo a couple weeks ago.

[originalhypa]

Even the good pricing these days is expensive. We were so spoiled when the dollar was at par to be able to buy 5.56 ammo at $35/100 on average.

Hopefully we get closer to parity. Once the AR chassis starts selling in the $5-600 range, I'm in like a dirty shirt!

The S&W and DPMS ARs are in the $649 range right now. Big slow down in the US market has manufacturers dropping their prices.

Building my AR has been a fun (but expensive) learning curve, though. Just saying.

[originalhypa]

For me it's the cost. Not even the overall price, but I'm up to 16 guns now and before I make it 17 I'm going to need a good reason. AR are a blast, but we have them in our shooting group already. That's why my focus has gone to the ammo side. My reloading setup is looking really good these days. Plus with winter coming, it's nice to sit down and pound out a few hundred rounds.

[Zedbra]

I'm thinking of getting a better press for my rifle reloads - a single stage. I have the LEE turret press and there are a few mils of sloppiness in the die plates that sometimes it bumps the shoulder and the round can't chamber. I'll give you a call, see what you have working for you - I'm thinking of a Progressive for my handguns and then old fashion single stage for rifles. Not sure yet about .223.

The wholesale “sale” was an absolute joke.

Thanks for the tip on the TRS - just ordered one as a back-up. My son has one on his .22 that I picked up in a trade with hypa - and it does the trick just fine. Yes, it will mount to a rail directly. For $60 it's an easy buy.

I bought a medium riser when I ordered mine - might need to go higher, we'll see.

[winson604]

Does anyone know if the Bushmaster QRC we preordered has a mil spec or commercial tube? Their website indicates mil spec but a shit ton of people who own them say commercial so I'm confused. Do they have both versions? I was planning on buying a butt stock in advanced but it ain't a big deal maybe I'll wait to recieved and confirm.

[Zedbra]

Just popped into WSS in Kelowna, they had a good selection of relaoding bullets still. Picked up some Barnes TSX 150g in both .270 and 7mm - been wanting to try these for a while, finally ditch the lead. I've heard good things about their ballistics and bullet weight retention after impact.

[Zedbra]

Snuck out to Hope today and visited Frank from Cerakote BC, dropping off all my AR goodies for him to work his magic. He realizes that that this is going to test his abilities a bit as the engraving on the lower isn't that deep for the colour filling I want - but I told him I would wait and I will pay - him being the perfectionist, I know it'll be good.

So, now it is hurry up and wait, but we're all used to that now.

I have heard of Cabela's adding on a few extras after the sale on restricteds, insisting that they ship with a trigger lock and hard case, although stores have different guidelines for shipping than the public. Your $30 was well spent supporting a small shop.

As for the Cerakote job - I will keep you updated. I told him no rush and he is giving me a deal as I have sent a lot of business his way - I think he just started it this week after soaking it to get all the oils out of the materials.

Me too. And Zed is right, the $30 is going to a small business rather than a painful conglomerate. I still remember the last rifle I bought from Cabelas, and how much of a nightmare that was.


Anyway, I was reading a cool article on the history of the AR, and the boondoggles created by the old boys network in the US armory.

Why is the AR so lethal
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/11/why-the-ar-15-is-so-lethal/545162/

and the original article from the 80's that outlines the history of the AR, and the difficulty in changing from what they had been using.
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1981/06/m-16-a-bureaucratic-horror-story/545153/

It's interesting to see how and why the US military adopted the AR in a small caliber, and how many soldiers died because of the bureaucracy involved.

SFRC is also having a 15% off sale this weekend. Picked up some 10rd IMI LAR mags that were already on sale for $23 each, plus 15% off.

Argh, I want a glock.
Zed, are those the polymer mags or steel? I would love to buy some, but it looks like I missed out on the sale; and stock levels.

I did the steel shoot yesterday at the indoor range. Got my time down to under 7 seconds at 12 yards with 10” steel plates. This is for five targets. The instructors were under 2 seconds, which is amazing.

Then I got shot....
I watched as the dime sized piece of bullet slag came back at me and got me square in the chest. As rare as it is, this is the second time I’ve been hit by a ricochet shooting steel. It left a nice little bruise too, as it hit through a hoodie and two shirts.

It’s like I’m eating damn magnets or something.

[Zedbra]

You need armour, bud. The mags I ordered are the Polymer mags. I want the shorter ones for my sons, so they can shoot with a bipod off the bench - my 5/30 mags are too long.

The site says the sale is still on - for less than $20, I ordered 5 to give them a try.

She's finally done!

After swearing off getting an AR15 due to all the hoops needed to jump through, ie the wall thickness shenanigans to prevent a full auto sear from going in, restricted status strictly for being an AR15, 5 round limit for rifles, etc, etc), I figured if the RCMP wanted to make it a pain in the butt to own, I'll just get one simply because we can.

Still managed to put a good scratch on the side of the bolt release from being careless. I didn't trust myself enough to assemble an upper so I went with a pre-assembled Daniel Defense M4V7.

Going to load up on 223/556 and go shooting with a coworker who has a Swiss arms rifle :)

Always good to see more AR owners. I like telling myself that the more owners in Canada there are, they might be more discouraged passing feel good laws on that particular rifle.

[Zedbra]

I have an itch to get a dedicated trap gun. I was seriously eying up a Citori 725 Sporting, but I keep reading that Browning is having issues with their stocks cracking and then taking months to replace in the 725 and XT models. So....now I am considering either a Caesar Guerini Summit or possibly an older Ljutic 73; I can;t help myself, I love the old classics.

Anyone have an O/U that they regularly shoot with feedback?

[originalhypa]

I’ve shot a double barrel before, but never an O/U.
Those are some pricey guns. A sweet trap gun from Italy can cost thousands. If not tens of thousands. I see those guns as an investment.

Speaking of investments, the gun that was used to shoot Lee Harvey Oswald was bought at auction for $15,000 back in the 60’s. It’s a Colt cobra revolver in 38 special. It’s now worth $2-3,000,000, and each billet shot out of it goes for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars at auction. It’s crazy!

[Zedbra]

Yeah, I am treating myself as I am getting a promotion in Feb - I'll running the company, so I figure I will buy one good O/U that I can shoot the rest of my life and then my sons will also enjoy it when I am done. I'm leaning towards the Caesar - it sure is a pretty shotgun.

Zedbra, I shoot an older Browning Citori. It's a field model so no fancy stepped rib or fiber optics or anything. Very solid, honest feeling gun. Love it and the feel of the action. From 1983 and it's still going strong. I want to get a newer pad on it - I believe it's still an original pad (:O) but that's about it. Fixed choke (F/M) so no hard decisions choosing, just pick which barrel and shoot it. Have done a 23/25 a couple of times. Definitely me as the weak link. Tried a couple of newer Browning guns and they felt good for me as well.

OUs are nicer than a pump to shoot, not sure about semi as I've never had the chance to shoot that for trap. It feels more compact for a given barrel length since the action is further back towards the stock.

The Pemberton club has Stoeger O/Us as their club gun and those aren't bad but nowhere near as refined. If you'd like we can try to meet up and you're welcome to give my gun a try.

In the trap demographic of the club, about 70% are shooting Browning, 20% Beretta, and others are various brands.

[Zedbra]

Thank you for the offer, I see many older Brownings available but am concerned about fitment. I need a long LOP and I have really large hands - so anything with a palm swell is welcomed. Hence, I am considering a new shotgun that is completely adjustable as it is hard to get my hands on something that fits. I do like that some of the newer O/Us have mechanical triggers and not inertia, as then I can shoot light loads and partake when we shoot doubles at our range.

I have been using an old Breda semi-auto long recoil for trap the last few years and while I can often shoot a 20 or 21, I have issues with the straight out of the house slow rising pigeons, as you need to cover your target with the old ones; I shoot and see the clay get pushed down or up, as I am shooting over or under the pigeon. Time to smash those ones, too!

[underscore]

I'm not sure what the deals were like before, but WSS currently has all ammo 25% off, and GP11 is 50% off. I don't *need* any more, but I grabbed a few more bricks anyways haha.

[Zedbra]

I picked up a case of G11 a few days ago and then it went even lower yesterday I hear - cheaper than I can reload.

I also blew next year's gun budget last night and ordered my new O/U for trap. I ordered a Rizzini Vertex Sporter with 30" barrels, raised rib, and adjustable comb; it was already shipped this afternoon. I received an email from the CEO of Rizzini USA saying that he hopes I like my new shotgun and that they will send me a shooting vest for a few bucks. Nice touch, considering it is a holiday for them.

[Raid3n]

8mm mauser is a bitch and a half to get a hold of without bankrupting yourself lol.
here in GP, i can only get the federal stuff for 55/box. i think i'm going to have to stock up in van this week lol.

[Zedbra]

Thanks gents - I've been shouldering it a bunch, trying to figure out the required cast I need, but I think I need someone that knows a whole lot more than me to help fit it properly.

I called Miramachi yesterday to change my AR lower status to the complete barrel length and the woman I got on the line was a freshie, I tell you. She kept asking me what brand and model it was going to now become. lol. She wasn't getting it that the lower is the gun, and all I was doing was giving her a barrel length. I bit my lip, patiently walked her through it and she thanked me at the end! lol.

Zed, let's go trap shooting either in Squamish or Pemby next spring!

Or both! I've never shot up in Pemby. We usually have a good Xmas shoot at the Squamish range, snowed one year and that was kind of fun. Otherwise, we only have trap on the weekend, alternating between Saturday and Sunday. But yeah, I want to start busting more clays!

[winson604]

Nothing as epic or special as some of the firearms you've all posted but here's a pic of the new Bushmaster QRC you fuckers on RS made me get :)

Swapped out handguard, grip, buttstock, and charging handle. The pic shows the red dot it came with but I've since swapped it out with my other Holosun red dot which if I had to put money on it would be better.

Thanks, really nothing fancy on any of the parts but if anyone is interested to know they were the following.

I really wanted to do a free float rail but I don't have the tools to do the work and really wasn't interested in paying a gunsmith and spending all the money on what's essentially an entry level AR so I went with the economical and easy Magpul route.

Handguard - Magpul MOE SL Carbine Length
Grip - Magpul MOE SL
Buttstock - MOE SL (yea there's a theme going here)
Charging Handle - Aftermarket Butterfly Ambi Charging Handle, it's essentially like the Raptor Charging handle but at half the cost and probably not quite on the same level in terms of quality but reviews were great

I like that charging handle a lot. Needless to say the stock one is poop. It's already taken a bite out of my finger.

I snuck out yesterday for some group therapy and to try out the Rizzini for the first time. I had the entire range to myself for hours - bliss.

Yeah, I'm looking to get a raptor type charging handle myself. The stock one is pretty clunky even for my small hands.

At least it's not the military version which in combination with where the sling mount is, probably isn't great on the fingers either:

More options now a days.


If you want legit Raptor brand they have the LT line now which is almost half the price at around $80 CDN compared to their SD line which are around $150.

The one I got is around $60 and I'm sure if you dug around and or bought from the US you can find better deals.

[Zedbra]

Today was the day - my AR was finally finished its custom Cerakote finish from Frank at CerakoteBC. After I went to pick it up, Frank took me to his range so we could put it through its paces. He also gave me some tips on better pistol techniques - he was an instructor and competitor for over 35 years. The green is Sniper Green and I forgot the black, but I'll find out. A larger scope is in the future.

Build is as follows:

Dlask custom CCFR lower with custom serial number
Dlask 20" 5.56 chrome lined barrel
Dlask buffer tube kit
Dlask bolt carrier group
Phase 5 upper
Strike Industries red charge handle
Phase 5 Fatman muzzle break
Generic True North Arms lower kit, gas tube, 17" M-Lok hand rail, low profile gas block, 45 degree back-up sights, and skeletonized buttstock.

Fuck me sideways that is stunning. I love the touches of red. How does it feel?

[Zedbra]

It feels a lot lighter than it looks. I need a better trigger sometime down the road, and I need to figure out how to either lower the cheek riser or raise my scope - but that is the fun part of gun ownership is finding that right combo that fits you personally. I need a new gas block, this one was built 5 thou out of spec and I wasn't getting enough gas to eject the empty case. I am going to get a Dlask gas block and have it cerakoted and installed.

[originalhypa]

That is a nice build, Zed.
The charge handle is so much nicer than the stock units are.

As for weight, I was surprised as to how light my AR is. Compared to my T97, where I had to lose the optic and go back to iron sights because it was too heavy, the AR is a featherweight. That's not a light optic of mount you're using either.

+1, would shoot again.
:fullofwin:

[Zedbra]

So far, I like the charge handle. It wasn't stupid expensive, either.

[incubus]

some good looking guns in here.

surprised there's not a lot of talk of the new non restricted BCL 102, M+M M10x, keltech rdb and the Maccabee Defense SLR.

[originalhypa]

Hi Incubus!
You may be getting a call from my buddy about the RDB. We were talking about that last night. He already has a KSG, but doesn't like that you have to manually switch between the feed tubes. He also makes lots of money, and has no kids so he can afford to change guns over stupid little shit like that :jiggy::awesom:

[originalhypa]

So, I took my AR out last night along with 180 rounds of reloaded .223, and 60 rounds of military surplus. Not a single one of my reloads worked in the AR. It was jamming, light striking the primer, or simply just not even feed. I used multiple mags and nothing worked. Finally, I tried to shoot a single, hand fed round. That's when I realized it was definately the reloads.

So I moved on to my T97. Same thing happened with the reloads. The only difference was my T97 worked with the reloads when it had one or two rounds in the mag. I then moved on to the military surplus, which I am happy to say worked flawlessly with both the T97 and the AR.

So I am baffled.....
I took some measurements this morning and saw no differences between a clean piece of brass, and my reloads. All the dimensions seemed to be in check.

[Zedbra]

^ hard primers. I haven't started loading 223 yet, but I have heard people swearing by Federal primers for the calibre.

[originalhypa]

You think?
I'm using CCI small rifle primers. They shoot out of my T97, you know, once they feed..... :okay:

I know my sizing was a bit off, where my OAL was like 2.24" as opposed to 2.20"
And there appears to be a bit of a bulge just below the crimp. Honestly, I should have made 20 and taken them to the range to test them out before building $40 worth of bunk ammo.

I'm taking off early today to make a nice soup for my hot pot. But once that shit is simmering, it's back down to the loading room to figure this out. I'll pop the projectile and powder out of one of my reloads and see if the brass fits the barrel. That's what I'm thinking, as it would explain the jams.

If not, then I'm back to square one. Square two could be to change the primer.

[Zedbra]

Okay - I'm sick as hell today, just read over your post again. One of two things: Sounds like you didn't size them properly. Did you only neck size or FL size? Or - did you bump the shoulder when setting the bullet (hence the bulge below the crimp)? It will be one or the other if it isn't loading.

Neck size is about .005 thicker than factory rounds, and the base of the brass has a mild bulge. Looks like I shit the bed on these rounds.

:okay:

[Zedbra]

If the base of the brass has a mild bulge and not the shoulder, then you need to run your die up higher when you full length size. My 7mm REM brass sometimes bulges, so you have to FL size it every time. You never did answer that question if you only neck sized or FL?

I was a little overconfident when I made these rounds. In fact, I've narrowed it down to the automatic powder dispenser ever so gently crushing my brass. I haven't had the time to reset everything, but no biggie as I have no time to shoot right now anyway. I may just bite the bullet (no pun intended) and buy a freedom bucket from Cabelas just to run some copper down the pipe.

To answer your question, I have to ask my own question.
Dafuq does FL mean? I measured the overall length, and the diameter of the neck and base of my brass. But I'm finding that I learn things as I go on. I had no issues with my 357, whether in my revolver or my lever. I guess I just got a little cocky when it came to the 223.

Why are you selling it?

ARs aren't totally my thing, I just wanted to have one because I can (smoke on that Goodale). I spoke a bunch to incubus before buying one, he liked his Sig, so I started to look for one for myself. It is tight, no wobble or play between upper and lower like so many others say is 'normal' with the platform. My range doesn't allow rapid fire, so I decided to build an AR that is suited for long range slower shooting - and you can see the beast up above I just completed. So, I don't need two ARs - but I do want a new 7mm RM, and with me blowing the budget on the Rizzini, I am needing space in my safe and cash in my pocket.

FL = full length, which is the acronym used in the biz. Regardless of what others tell you, professional shooters and reloaders will tell you to always FL your brass. Yes, it stretches it more and you may not get those extra 3 or 5 reloads, but you will get consistent accuracy that is not specific to one chamber of one rifle (which neck sizing often does). You decide.

Remember when we were talking about the unreliable nature of the Lee classid press? Well, you were right. Measuring the OAL (I refuse to use FL!! :D) there is a difference of almost an 1/8th of an inch between rounds. Not only that, but many of the rounds have .02" of bulge in the neck and base of the brass.

I bought myself a few xmas gifts at Cabelas the other day that will help me prepare my brass better. When I was using the Lee for my 357 rounds, there were no issues. They fed in my lever action, and rotated freely in the revolver. But the semi auto 5.56 are a little more finicky, and I need to take a bit more time ensuring that they're put together properly.


That said, I bought 1000 rds of this the other day.

What scope rail did you buy? Mine is the Swiss Arms that mounts to the side, and it takes 11mm rings; I use low rings with a 42mm objective. I wouldn't want to mount the scope any higher. I'd buy some new rings - I'm a fan of the Burris Signature rings.

[underscore]

I've got the Swiss Products offset clamp mount. The rings it has now are pretty short, and the spacers would only add a couple mm to the height, but I'd rather not have to crank the snot out of the rings to make sure the spacers don't let anything move around. The .22 has similar spacers but they're bolted to the rifle, and I don't want to have to worry about precisely drilling and tapping the mount.

[Zedbra]

The Burris Signature rings comes with both clamps for dovetail and 11mm. Plus, they have the offset inserts you can buy to aline the scope, but the inserts also prevent ring marks on your scope.

Anyone here interested in my Sig M400 Enhanced? Less than 200 down the pipe. I see a rifle I want, so I am only going to keep one AR.

[Zedbra]

My boys were excited when they opened their new CZ Scout with a Burris Timberline scope. I didn't have time to mount the scope prior, as I needed to drift the rear sight out to be able to mount the scope low enough for them. underscore - I used Burris Signature rings. ;)

The sun was out, the 40cm of snow was cleared, the temp stayed around -5c, and so the games were on. I won two rounds and almost won two more - I was shooting real good up until the end when I seamed to have lost my focus; so I packed it up and I'm still smiling. Prizes were all meat prizes, so I chose a turkey and a large package of chicken breasts - not bad for $5 entry fee per game.

Thanks for hooking me up, incubus! Was good to see ya again.

My Steyr 7mm RM arrived this morning and to be honest, all I can think of is mounting my scope on it when I get off work. I have an addiction.

[Zedbra]

I bought Steyr Pro Hunter SS in .270 a few years ago and it quickly became my favourite hunting rifle I have that will consistently put groups into one bullet hole at 100 yards. So I wanted another in my favourite moose calibre, 7mm Rem Mag. I discovered that Steyr stopped making these rifles in 7mm Rem Mag even before I bought the .270, stating that they do not make enough money on these Pro Hunters, as they simply wanted a $1000 rifle in the market. So, I started my search.....and kept searching....until a few weeks ago.

After 2 years, I was able to locate an unfired Pro Hunter in 7mm RM, so I quickly made it mine. It showed up in the mail today and I wasted no time mounting the rings and scope as well as giving the rifle a thorough cleaning. The bolt is very smooth and the trigger has no creep - breaking at 3.25lbs. I'm going to have a long and meaningful relationship with this rifle; looking forward to getting it out in the field.

I want to learn about long range shooting, so that I can properly make a choice on caliber/twist/barrel length/bullet weight/etc.

Where are good resources to start with? Books? Threads? Lay it on me. Taking a course right now and once I write the final exam, I'm going to dive into this into greater detail.

Thanks

[Zedbra]

^ long range shooting is a whole other shooting discipline that has many factors to consider, but the biggest two are: you generally need a lot of money to 'do it right', and there are as many opinions as there are shooters.

Most people that get into that discipline also reload, using top end gear for accuracy.

Can it be done 'cheaper', yes, of course. But if you want to get serious and are asking other long range shooters for help, they have a bit of a pay to play attitude, where the rifles often cost over thousands if not over $10k, plus high end glass starts at $3k and up.

If you are on CGN, they have a long range shooting sub-forum and there are many there that can answer any questions you may have. There are a plethara of acronyms to learn, and lots to read on ballistics, scope dope, and then rifles themselves. Personally, I have neither the money nor the time to get into that sport and to 'do it right'.

Picked up the new hardware tonight. A unique calibre only made by Dan Wesson for a few years - .357 SuperMagnum. It was developed by Dan Wesson after shooting one day with the CEO of Ruger, who had just invented the .357 SuperMax, so Dan Wesson made one with 0.15 larger case - a little friendly rivalry. The first run of Rugers were not reliable and the top straps were getting chewed through from the high pressure, so the Dan Wessons were made on their large frames (usually .41 Mag and higher calibre). This .357 is a beast.

It can shoot 180g and 200g bullets at 1900fps and ring the gong like no tomorrow at 100 yards. Oh man, I can't wait to unleash this beast. Due to the high pressures and likelihood of blowing out the barrel, the gun was sold with a spare 8" barrel, and the one in my box has never been fired.

As I was cleaning it, my wife picked it up and was handling it. Then, for the first time ever, she asked me how much I paid for it? So, I give her the evil shifty eyes and asked her why is she asking me this now for the first time? Her response - 'because I don't ever want you to sell this one'. Yes.

Did a 100% disassembly of the Sig P226 lower, fortunately didn't need special tools like the top slide. Haven't cleaned the internals since I got it 3 years ago.
So much 'mud' from the grease picking up crud that you normally can't clean with a regular take down. Though it felt like taking apart a watch with the sheer number of parts. I'm a little jealous of the Glock owners.

Also spent last weekend zeroing the Eotech, shooting the thing was also the easiest way to verify everything worked as it should. Did a few hundred rounds with no hiccups. Got tiring pretty fast using 5 round Magpul magazines though, so I'm going to go looking for some LAR15 mags instead.

Guys - go check out your local Walmart to see if they are liquidating their ammo. Got the heads up on CGN and so I dropped into our little Walmart today to grab the kids a pair of shoes, thought I would check it out and sure enough, all their ammo is below 50% off. Word is they are getting out of that line of business.

I picked up 20g slugs for $3 per box and Federal Blue Box 7mm Rem Mag 175g for $19 per box - cheaper than I can reload.

Here's the list of what I snagged - which included all that was left of their 12g and 20g target ammo:

Winchester 7.5 an 8 shot 20g boxes of 100 were $19 each
Remington 20g boxes of slugs were $3 each
Remington 20g 4 shot 20g steel shot were $9 each
Winchester 7.5 and 8 shot 12g boxes of 25 were $5 each
Remington 12g 4 shot steel shot were $15 each
Federal Blue Box 7mm RM 175g were $19 each
Winchester 7mm RM 150g were $19 each
Winchester .410 SS target loads box of 25 were $9 each

[originalhypa]

:agree:

The great thing about collecting guns is that you buy them once, and chances are they will retain their value, or even go up in value.

The problem is ammo. A 10rd mag of 5.56 can range from $3.00 to $5, while a good hunting .223 rd could be upwards of $2/rd. Granted, if you can take down a deer for $2, that's a great deal.

There are a few things you can do to mitigate the cost. Number 1 is buy a quality firearm. The fewer issues you have, the better. Jams are embarassing, FTF are dangerous, and gunsmiths can be expensive.

Number two, learn how to reload. If you're into shooting for the long term, it's wise to invest in a reloading setup. Some are better than others. For example, my Lee loader that can't hold a setting. Fine for .357 revolver ammo, but not for a highly engineered AR15.

[Zedbra]

Sound advice, hypa. The old cliche of: buy once, cry once - applies in this sport/hobby. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to spend a lot of money to have/be the best, as it can apply to paying what you have to in order to get what YOU want. There is exceptional budget equipment in the market, there is also some gear that costs a small fortune but it offers high value. I recently bought a Swarovski scope and now I think I am doomed with never considering anything less quality regarding clear glass.

[underscore]

The great thing about collecting guns is that you buy them once, and chances are they will retain their value, or even go up in value.

On the flip side this means you probably don't want to hesitate if you see something you like for a good price. I've only got a few guns but looking at how the prices for some of them have gone over the last few years I'm glad I bought them as soon as I could.

Part of the fun of building is allowing you to choose which parts you like. Most people have a preference for a charging handle, and Dlask makes an excellent BCG.

Just read that they are making a semi-auto AA-12. The full auto has always been on my 'I wish we could have this in Canada' list, so if this ugly brute gets the green light up here, I am getting one for sure; not sure 100% why I need or even like the looks, but I'll have one in my safe.

https://mapleseedrifleman.com/events

Problem with the 10/22 is that they're not the most accurate rimfire rifles. A bolt action would still be the best way to shoot long distances.

I know my 10/22, which has been heavily massaged, couldn't hit 300 yards consistantly.

I like the idea of the clean 500 yard rimfire shot. But I'm thinking a .17HMR or a .22 Magnum might be a better choice. Still rimfire, but with a little more punch and stability.

[ak1to]

that actually seems kinda interesting..

might give it a try with my STG44 :D

hmm, looking at it... they expect .22LR to shoot accurately at 500yd? :s

I believe you actually only shoot at 25 meters (82 feet) but with reduced sized targets to simulate full size targets at 400 yards. I downloaded and took a look at a few of the printable targets. I believe the end goal is to be able to shot 4 MOA in various positions.

[Raid3n]

that's a little more reasonable than expecting to sling .22LR out to 4-500m lol.

the sights on the STG are a little wonky, and i need to set them 10m or so higher than i'm shooting to get it on target lol

I wasn’t in on any big game this year but really wanted the easy 3-18 doe draw I got last year again, unfortunately no luck :/

Will be going out for open bucks some time in October

I grew up hunting. My dad taught me to shoot, like his father taught him. The allies taught my grandfather to shoot, but I digress.... I guess you could say that hunting is a way of life for me and my family, not unlike the native people's. Then why the fuck is it so hard to get draws?!

Between the guided companies, the naturists, and the natives, it's been virtually impossible to hunt anything bigger than a grouse for the last few seasons.

If you’re willing to drive 10+ hours u can hint whatever u want lol..

Would be nice to get a few more of those “easy” draws out. I have a feeling a lot go unfilled

Haven't been in this thread for a while.

My dad had come over to my place to help me bring in a new gun locker and while in the elevator an old lady asked what it was. Told her and instantly she said "oh no you don't" and then stayed quiet until she got off on her floor. I double checked my strata bylaws and theres nothing about storing firearms etc. The closest thing to it would be storing hazardous material in or about the strata lot. Bleach is a hazardous material... Anything with an MSDS sheet can be hazardous. Should I be worrying about the old broad complaining to the strata about it?

While I'm here, is the shooting range in langley decent? I haven't had time to check it out and would like to join a range.

Oh no you don't! Lol. Next time just tell her it is for guitars.

[Raid3n]

it's a safe for all my vintage guitar cases, purchased almost exclusively from banditos.

Finally managed to slip out to the range yesterday morning to sight in my Swarovski. That Z5 is such a nice piece of glass - I can never accept anything less moving forth. I was getting sub-moa groups at 200, I was stoked, called my hunting partner today and found out he is getting back surgery and may not be able to hunt this season. FFS.

I'm a shooter - very casual, borderline collector.

I have a 10/22, 88 Mav, Brno SXS, Marlin 22, S&W 5906 9mm, Mosquito 22, Norinco 45.

I had an SKS and now realize how much I hate them.

Just got my hunting license last year, so looking for a couple of hunting rifles next.

To buy:
45/70
something in 300
something in 200
Would love a safari big bore SXS as well

[Zedbra]

^ you like the big bores, eh? Have you shot many? They come with a thump, hunting in BC doesn't require a 300 WIN, but if you can shoulder it, then why not? My preferred calibre is 7mm Rem Mag, so very close. The 45/70 is a novelty bush gun calibre - your 300 WIN will be a better calibre all around.

i was planning on hunting with my kar98.. though with how hard it is to find ammo, i may hold off on that until i start reloading

Love big bores. I find it therapeutic LOL

At the end of the day, I want all the calibers :)

It seems easy to spiral down the collection rabbit hole, especially since older milsurps aren't likely to have stashes left to hit the market anymore so prices will only go up. There are lots that I want to get but I'm limiting myself to the stuff I already have for now. Quite a few I think I'd be satisfied just getting to try out for a day but I don't think there's anywhere you can do that with old stuff.

HOLY FUCK, IT FINALLY CLEARED RCMP?!

lol i am for sure getting one, i already have the STG44 lol

[XSSIV]

What's your opinion on the sgt44? I'd like one, but probably just have it as a wall hanger

[Hondaracer]

Any recommendations on a rifle scope? Around $600 taxes in hopefully?

On my 7mm I still have the Bushnell elite that I got when I bought the gun about 12 years ago. Looking for a glass upgrade. Don’t even know what size I should look into etc
