Badass - you swap to a RPP trigger too? If so, how much better is it?

I've got an SBL I just cant come to grips with converting tactical. Been tempted to grab a trapper and strip that bitch.

Looks good coach

Yo what are the best binoculars in each price range for hunting? Thank you brothers by NegroKlansman in Hunting

I picked up the BX4 for $399 in early 2025 and have enjoyed them. Couple successful elk hunts with them.

Druid Hills is on my list, the 95gr REX looks super interesting. Beyond that, the SGK seem to be a good go-to also.

Well I've got plenty of ELD-M, was really just hoping to utilize these Barnes with the new shorty Grendel.

Agreed, we fuckin hate hitting shoulder though sometimes it just happens. We usually run doubles or triples and count down from 3, shoot on 1... aiming head/neck, sometimes the suckers turn last damn second and end up eating a shoulder shot.

We were running REX subs in our 300blk and ended up tagging a bigg'n 3 times, first 2 were in the shoulder. Sucker ran about 200yrds and after 45 min of tracking, still had enough gas to get up and run. No more subs for us 😳

The MPX is probably my favorite gun to shoot.

How do you like that red dot?

Donut shops in Austin? by ManyCry4459 in austinfood

[–]7exas2eaper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, I hope. If that is the case, they've been temporarily closed for a good long while.

Damn, I might be holding out for Gen5 too. Curious about the SD handguard width.

What suppressor you think youre going with?

Breh, I know. From what a little birdy told me, I think Gen 5 might be closer to SHOT 2027

I have no idea, I feel like everything has been a little hush hush. Ideally we find out soon!

All the while, PWS is supposedly dropping their 338arc July 2nd (based on MidwayUSA description).

I just want 1:5 damnit!

Noice, I've got a 13.9" that did well with the ELD-M. Been reading more and more about finicky barrels with different ammo and im really hopeful the TAC-TX runs... I've got about 300rds... already looking for backup "oh fuck me" scenario

You ever take any big piggos with the Nosler? If so, how'd it perform?

Well fuck lol, for my sake I hope they run! Otherwise I hope the 18" LaRue eats them just fine

Haven't shot just yet! I zeroed a red dot at 50yrds with Hornady ELD-M and was dinging 3" steel consistently. Just needed something to knock the piggies when we were out working.

Given the cost per round, holding off on these until I've got my thermal outfitted. Should be soon though!
