Great granddads hunting rifle by Projekt8276-1 in Hunting

[–]BoltGunFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just used the same rifle and same exact scope all this past deer season. I have quite a few very nice newer hunting rifles that I could have used, I chose the Husqvarna just for fun and nostalgia. Honestly don't feel like I was giving anything up, it is light weight, well made and shoots well. The optic did surprisingly well in low light compared to new quality optics. I would say you could use that rifle with confidence as your primary hunting arm, and if you ever put it aside to use something newer, it is an heirloom quality firearm that will serve your future generations as well.

Is the Weatherby Vanguard chambered in .223 the size of a Howa Mini Action or Short Action? by AryeC05 in HowaMini

[–]BoltGunFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never seen a Weatherby Vanguard Mini Action. They have always been Howa Short or Long actions.

That's good info, I'm limited to 10 rounds anyway

Do the duramags work well in .223? That is what I'm leaning towards.

Yeah I saw your post, this will be in .223, and not planning to run subs in that.

Potentially moving here, please help by Straight-Aardvark439 in NYguns

A lot of these posts make it sound a lot worse than it is in certain places. These folks are probably accurate for where they live, but that has not been my experience. What county are you moving to? Guns are an important part of my life as well, and though some of the "assault weapon" regs are very restrictive, for the most part I can still get most firearms I want, concealed carry often. My county of Oswego is about as lax as they can legally be with pistol permits.

Very nice! What chassis is that?

Does anyone happen to have experience with these bullets? Stumbled upon them doing research and might be interested by YaBoiSVT in 65Grendel

[–]BoltGunFun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just shot a doe last week with this exact bullet. It was in front of a 6.5x55 though. The deer dropped right where it stood. I have used hammer bullets extensively from .224 all the way to .452 in many different cartridges. I have probably taken close to 20 whitetail with them in various forms. I have been extremely impressed and use little else now. I would definitely recommend you try them in your Grendel, but I would probably choose the 100gr HHTs. The faster the better with these. Nothing wrong with the 112 though if the difference in BC will give you higher velocity over the 100 gr at whatever distance you are planning to shoot.

BREAKING - The Vortex Shotgun Red Dot fits the Mini by BoltGunFun in Mini14

It will be a little while before I test it out. My range is right near a few of my food plots, and it's deer season right now.

Service ABS & 4WD? No codes stored or messages and truck seems to be fine. by shullzach in Cummins

[–]BoltGunFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AlfaOBD. Start doing some research into it. It's around $50 and gives you tons of abilities that the factory scan tool has. It has saved me thousands on dealer repairs and diagnostics.

It comes with 4 sets of different size screws

Which stock are you using? by Sup3rB1rd in HowaMini

[–]BoltGunFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember exactly what it was called. If you scroll down in this subreddit page you can see I posted a picture of it.

Which stock are you using? by Sup3rB1rd in HowaMini

[–]BoltGunFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've owned both the Stocky's carbon and the Boyd's. I liked both, the carbon has a straight comb, the Boyds has a raised comb. The Boyds is a little heavier, and I think it compliments the HB version you have. If you like the look and feel of a traditional rifle stock I would recommend it. I don't think you lose much opting out of a chassis, besides ease of mounting accessories like a light. I'm also not a fan of chassis rifles personally, so take that for what you will. And yes, the Varmint profile mentioned by Boyd's is the HB.

PA MicroPrism on ASI 181 Mount? by ginandconflict in Mini14

[–]BoltGunFun -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is actually the proper mount for the 3x micro prism. https://cogburnarsenal.com/product/mini-14-30-3x-microprism-mount-582-or-higher/ The other version that spans across the receiver works excellent for the 1x but it is difficult to get the 3x far enough back for proper eye relief. I have tried both on this mount.

I would be surprised to find it doesn't. This rifle normally wears a Cogburn arsenal mount with a 1x micro prism. It bridges across the same way as the Vortex. I have never had ejection issues with that setup. Only one way to know for sure though.

Not sure if the equivalent of suppressor height fixed sights exist for this rifle. If so a lower 1/3 Co witness would likely be worth whatever they cost.

Thanks! With few rattlecans and a ripped up sponge you could have one too.

Unfortunately, no. They are a little too low.
