  1. That's funny, I was gonna point you towards a Leu Rifleman, but knew it was out of your range. Which model did you get?
  2. I feel the same way with hunting, but just target shooting I can do a lot better with high magnification. Don't know why it doesn't work for hunting though, I guess "coyote fever" effects me more the closer they are/look! For $150 you should be able to get a fine 3-9x40. Check out SWFAs sample list, they have demo optics from all diff manufacturers that sell for used prices but are basically new. Off the top of my head you could probably get a Nikon Prostaff, Redfield revolution is a good one, made by leupold in the USA with the same warranty. Lots of folks like Vortex too, they have a
  3. For some. For others it's 500 meters. Never gonna let that go are you? However, I gotta hand it to you guys, Marines are much better riflemen than USA Hey I just noticed the text for that smiley -----------------------------------------------------------^ is "OSAMA". Can we change that "S" to a "B"? :lolol:
  4. Yeah I've currently got a hard-on for either a .264 Win mag (same bullet as the swede) or a .264-300 WM. BC in the .6s and it screams! I think that .264-300 will send a 140gr at 3400fps! That's a 1 mile gun.
  5. That's the only explanation I could think of. I've seen this in other types of .308s too, maybe .308 just favors a short barrel?
  6. BTT C'mon 1liter I'm not gonna chase you down to give ya free stuff!
  7. That's a pretty common misconception, but all other things being equal, the higher BC bullet is gonna have less drag and carry velocity longer. A quality .308 bullet is gonna have like .5, and a quality .224 is gonna have like .2.
  8. I'm sure with good ammo either gun could do it. 10" at 400 is basically 2.5 MOA. My .308 could do that even with crap ammo. I would be worried more about energy at that range. You're looking at about 300 ft/lbs of energy which is about twice that of a 22LR. Not saying it won't put someone down, because our boys in green do it every day out to 600 with a .223. But they don't get to pick their caliber.... edit: I would get whatever barrel length you want to handle, mine started long and I cut it to 16", actually got more accurate.
  9. So did you call the asshole from Bushmaster back and go :haha: ? If you paid $2400 you should not go to GB right now and check availability..... edit: I just noticed this thread is a month old, sry
  10. You guys didn't have S-12s before high-caps were available did you? Believe me, no one will jump on it, not until there's a dedicated forum for the gun with 10,000+ members. It was a painful wait.
  11. That's pretty odd, I swear I hit "Add Reply" earlier. Well the RNG came up with no. 11 so 1liter takes it! Congrats man, PM me your info so I can send this black beauty over to ya'. Eric, yeah it was for a 12, did you get my last PM? You didn't miss much, no coyotes, but a lot of Rock Chucks met their demise, by way of 168gr Amax. That session included one shot at 515yds, but it took me about 12 rounds to hit him! Shane
  12. Alright so I got my Hogue grip in today from the last giveaway, and I'm putting up an old AGP 10 rounder. I know there has been lots of problems with these, but I got these when they first came out and have had zero malfunctions with them. I seem to have a few too many and it's the only ite I'm willing to give up that someone would actually want. Make any silly old post to let me know you're in. I'll pick someone I like I mean I'll pick someone at random by their post number on 18 April 8:00pm PST, and ship it to them free. Shane edit: I don't know what PIFR stands for, mean
  13. Unless it was from the Gulf War or de-milled, it's probably bullshit. Did it have a capture slip?
  14. Shoulda been more specific, passenger aircraft. Like, with pax on board. If you bail in that situation, you are a dirtbag. Always been intrigued by the short aerobatic courses taught in Citabrias. They make you wear parachutes for that so it's got to be fun. Though I'll bet I've done scarier shit on my own in a C172/150 or H-60. Specially the 60.
  15. I read the first post. I'm not impressed. "I'd rather jump out than fly it" is something narcissistic skydivers and "airborn" fags say. I've heard it a million times. It's probably equivalent to people asking you "why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane baaaugh!" Pilots aren't impressed by this. Seriously, it takes balls and brains to take one to the ground. Do it, do it.
  16. Then learn to fly helicopters. MUCH more complicated EPs, and you WILL have to use one. They WILL malfunction (shit an engine, compressor stall, rotor droop) and you will have VERY little time to react correctly. You will suck seat cusion into your asshole, and if you make it out, you've just saved your own life, and the lives of the PAX on board. Pretty good feeling.
  17. Oh hell yeah I would love to go to a place where cops frequent just to see the looks on their faces as I show them the paperwork and they put their handcuffs back in their little pouch!! :lolol:
  18. I you've never priced supressors, there's a diff between a rimfire 22 supressor and a .223. Usually about $400 diff.
  19. That rocks Van. Is this an introductory thing? I'll be moving to a state that allows them early next year. So, be honest, how would it do with .223? ETA: I've only priced out cans once. Does it really balance out to being worth $700 dollars or is there maybe a little "not everyone can have this" tax in there?
  20. It better be a one shot kill if you're betting your life on a Thompson Contender (Single shot) I'll take a G19/23 thanks.
  21. I've never heard anything positive about the dead coyote shells. Everyone says save your money and get #4. My .02
  22. Sweet! Thanks Klassy, I never got your PM though, sent you one.
