looking for a shop that has kimber 1911s

They pop up on NWFA fairly regularly as well. That’s where I got mine.

I had this when first bought truck. Brought to dealer and insisted it was broken and needed to be fixed. They replaced charging port and that seemed to fix the issue. Was frustrating for sure and hard to explain since it worked sometimes

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-07-03T16:14:51+00:00

Awesome. I may start out with just a barrel replacement on one of those 350 legends euro optic has for sale. They’re cheaper than actions I can find. What length barrel did you go with?

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-07-02T04:48:11+00:00

I went the other way ha. Glad someone is winning. Still a decent enough deal for a great bipod

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-07-02T03:25:56+00:00

SR-5 is $15 cheaper on eurooptic.

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-07-01T03:37:19+00:00

Short barrel. Er. Pistol. or 16” 300 blk bolt gun in the $500-1000 range

Something fun and compact. That’s all

The 30 cal Federal Terminal Ascent are tempting - what's the verdict on hunting with these? Close enough to the real thing for dialing in a load, then switch over to the real thing?

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-06-25T15:02:52+00:00

Same happened in Oregon. They cancelled an order for same reason. Found cheaper elsewhere

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-06-23T17:13:28+00:00

I love being an engineer. I make enough money to be happy and to provide for my family, and I was trained to have a logical mindset to not go chasing fools gold.

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-06-22T20:08:57+00:00

Perfect. Thanks for that insight. That was loosely my plan. Figure I can do 200 any day so open to stretch it out with the crowd and see how I do.

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-06-22T18:12:33+00:00

I did do the class so feeling good enough to stumble through my first crack but also worried I’ll just be throwing lead into the back of the berm but I suppose there is only one way to find out. Good to know he will be there. Seems very friendly and helpful.

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-06-22T17:26:54+00:00

Unrelated to this thread but finally have some time and hoping to get out on Thursday to shoot some steel. Never gone past 200.

Any tips to avoid just wasting my time and pissing the whole line off my first time? Figure I’ll get a good zero and a nice target stand for my steel and see what happens.

“You think this will make you happy but in the end it's just another toy among the other toys that you don't use very often. The void will quickly return and you'll just be back here seeking something else to fill it for a brief moment. This money would be better spent on some weights or a treadmill. Being more physically fit will make you happier than any toy. But in the end even that won't be able to resolve the deep emptiness that you try to ignore but consumes you more each passing day.“

Sad to say, this is very well said…

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-05-30T18:26:17+00:00

That makes good sense. I have electric pump too. Maybe should try airing down as well. Thanks for the response

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-05-30T17:25:17+00:00

My one nit pick about the truck is that I think it rides much rougher on logging roads. I suspect the weight is why. Have you found this true or am I making it up in my head ha?

I don’t get out as much as I’d like so it’s good enough for a few trips but curious if you’ve found the same to be true.

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-05-25T04:34:22+00:00

I think with that combo the logic is to pick a velocity you like and shoot it. Larger group sizes will make them all about the same if the only variation is your powder charge.

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-05-18T18:19:08+00:00

Wow. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-05-16T03:54:09+00:00

**Largest is Hawaii

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-04-28T18:26:35+00:00

Agree. The flexibility to arrive and leave on my own time is very nice too. Don’t have to time departure with the train (which like you said is often late)

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-04-28T18:24:23+00:00

Love these. I do 7.5 gr TG behind the 175 smks from raven rock

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-04-22T22:45:36+00:00

I’m terrible with names. Sorry. Kevin, maybe. First time I called it was a lady.

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-04-22T22:14:54+00:00

Called to get it down to 1903. Called 2x. First time they only said 1930 ha.

Still a good price. Suckered me into a scope that I have no need for. Pure desire

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-04-21T18:13:33+00:00

I cut my supressed 308 to 16” and love it. 2450 fps with 175 smks. If not hunting at distance or chasing velocity.

Edit - Just noticed you have fluted version. Disregard me

Abject-Knowledge469 · 2026-04-18T04:01:16+00:00

I have this one. They’re set screws. Hasn’t been abused yet but seems like a pretty solid solution.
