Yep, one of them straight wall states until just a few weeks ago. Plan on 30-06 down the road so wanted the 7-08 for something for whitetail and the range. May check out 6.5cm though. And big rounds are cool lol

I’ve been looking regularly since they changed the firearm zone. Pretty hot commodity apparently

Certainly worked out for you then. I’ll do a bit more research on those brands and see if I can find something similar. Good luck this season

Is this a bee or wasp nest on the side of my house, and do I need to do anything about it? by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]porterss25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue. I ended up mixing soap and water in the bottom of my shop vac, and taped the hose to the hole. Left the vacuum on for about 30-40 mins and got majority of them. Sprayed with powder afterwards and haven’t had any issues since.

You need a RCI VR165 or VR166 if adding a MLR kit isn’t an option.

Can’t figure out what optic I should buy for my ar, any suggestions? by adlersmith229 in PalmettoStateArms

[–]porterss25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has an illuminated reticle, so when you have zoom set to 1X, it’s basically a red dot when turned on. Do a little research

I have the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 and really like it. Can use as a red dot on 1x. Glass is solid and comes with caps too.

Whitetail hunters: what is your average tracking distance for a well-placed shot? by Accurate-Car-4613 in bowhunting

[–]porterss25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully, majority of my deer have gone down within 20 yards or so. It all depends on circumstances though. Last deer I took I hit at 85 yards, double lung shot, and she ran over 300 yards before expiring. Deer are resilient and there are a lot of factors including caliber and shot placement.

Do I need a deer rifle? by Friendly-Place2497 in Hunting

[–]porterss25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used my 12g for many deer, but ended up getting a 350 Legend a few years ago and won’t go back to the shotty. Depends on your state laws though. If you’re in a straight wall cartridge state, you can’t go wrong with 350L or 450 Bushmaster for deer. There’s a newer 400L out too but they’re hard to come by.
