Short barrel makes a great brush gun. I had a Remington Model 7 with the 18" barrel, sweet shooter, I'm sure it's right along the same lines but without the magazine. If the price is right, why not! Browning is a great gun.
I ran my late friend's range today I got everyone ready for hunting season She lined up her .243 Ruger American and .350 legend Mossberg ATR We shot a lot of pistols My great nephew's girlfriend loved the red dots i actually found out i don't like them after trying them She prefers the Taurus Gx4 without a dit over the shield plus with the dot And really liked the Taurus tx .22 compact.
Not on that specific platform. but used enough short barrel guns to go to 1000 meters. built my own version of a darpa XM3 rifle. .280 Remington with an 18” barrel. I’ve had it to 300 yards so far and hoping to go to 1400 yards over the winter. If the dope holds true, it should go a mile.
Hard to go wrong with any Browning, and same goes for the 308 win. On Saturday we shot a bunch of guns. I got my Ruger all weather m77 mk2 all set for deer season next Saturday. At 100 yards its dead on. 3 bullets shot all 3 touching in the bullseye. A dime covered all 3. Good to go. Thing's just a tack driver and I'm super confident in it and me shooting it. I wanted to use Dad's mini 30 in 6.8 SPC, but I hate the trigger on it. My buddy thought the same. That trigger. Tons of creep and stuff. That leads to crap shooting. There's options to put a better trigger spring in it, that happens, but so sure polishing the sear and hammer. Or I could send the trigger out to a place out west and they fix the trigger to 3-4 lbs and smooth no creep starting at $70. I might go that way. I got the Ruger ss all weather 10/22 that I put an old 3x9 on closer to sighted in. It needs a little more work but it's close now. One of those guys I don't mind shooting 10 RDS in a row, then checking the target. Adjust the scope, and try 10 more. Cheap and fun. The 7.62 x39 ar15 I built is accurate when the hard Russian primers ignite, but when you get all those "light primer strikes" it's frustrating. These are pretty deep primer strikes, just most are not quite enough. The boxes of Russian steel case ammo I have is all from the same batch and the primers are set deeper than boxer Primers. The better firing pin was supposed to arrive Friday, but didn't and it's now expected to arrive tomorrow. Oh well. I wasn't planning on using that for deer this season anyway. Honestly I'd rather just build a .308 in an AR10 for deer and all around use.
After doing some research it seems some people have feed issues and the groupings could be a lot tighter. Read multiple reviews and YouTube videos saying that. In the end I decided to do just that, put together an ar10 for a third of the money.
You talking about the 7.62 x39 in ar15? If so that's old news. You can't use m4 feed ramps with the x39 like 5.56 AR's will use. Using the right mags sources the other issue with feeding. ASC's newer ones work, so do Duramags, C Products work well too I hear. Mine is just a BCA 16" x39 upper and when I get primer strikes that with, it's accurate, just needing to be dialed in more. That's with the Russian steel case too. If you use better ammo, brass cased quality bullets they get even more accurate. The AR platform is far more accurate than the AK platform.
Their gray squirrels are the same as ours though, introduced over there for who-knows-what reason. No wonder it's open season on them there.
I just ordered one on Saturday! Went with the wood. Thinking a green holographic with a possible addition of a magnifier. Not sure though. Tried to order a Henry all weather 45-70 also but they seem a little scarce.
Also anyone have experience with a Wilson combat AR? Picked one up and it feels NICE! Firm, crisp solid feeling. Thinking about getting it when I pick up the Browning. On the fence.
The Browning BAR mk3? I'm surprised that they've ever made anything less than excellent. I've got a mk2 safari in 300 win mag and it hasn't ever had any feeding issues at all. Dad bought that BAR when I bought my m77 Ruger in the late 90's. The BAR's are pricey, and shoot well. But they are heavy. Granted, the magnum versions are probably heavier than a short action in a 308, but it's not like an AR10 is light. The ar-10 though, if you built one up for less than the browning in 308, then that's even better.
I know they are pricey. I'm more of the type that will buy all the quality parts and rather build one up myself and save a lot of cash and get the same or better results versus paying someone else to do what I can. Building AR's is pretty easy.
031065218 is the Browning I ordered. I don't really hunt. I have in the past and I'm not against it but I don't have it in me to kill anything. That doesn't apply to bipeds! Down yonder prickster is unloading a crap load of future issues!
I was considering building one but everything I see was made of plastic. The Wilson combat is all metal and the fit is superb. Looking into the company is pretty impressive. Some 1911's priced way beyond my means! As a machinist I get hung up on the fiddly things of fit/finish.
the greys were put over here in 1948, to kill off the reds,but it got out of hand and greys were killing the reds off,so then we just went to war on greys to try and kill them off, but we will never kill all of them.i shoot farms over here go in the woods shoot them but the more you shoot seems the more come back,
