Ammo is everywhere, ballistics are sound, factory or custom bullets in any weight you deem necessary to kill your prey. Just had built one by redneck and can’t wait to try it out. Still will need krylon and scope (nightforce NSX) but thats in the works when I get home. Last edited by rgrx1276; 11/18/15. When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites

Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE! No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's. A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

It wears either a 1.25-4X VX-R Patrol or a 4X, FXII Leupold. If I were starting from scratch, it would be an M70 Classic SA with the same MPI Kevlar stock that the above has but it would be a .257 Roberts, or a 6.5 Creed. E
