Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Rifle recommendation for a newbie that doesn't reload

Lil Fish,

No problem.

I have been shooting a version for a couple of years and it gives a small frame AR better reach than a slow twist .220 Swift or 22-250 bolt gun.

I don't suspect you will ever actually use yours in the field so i will show you some pictures of game taken with a few of mine.

Enjoy.









Good Luck.

Love and Kisses

John

Launched any of these through a 1/8 at 223 speeds yet? I'd planned on switching as I run out of Amax but didn't foresee the 1/7 recommendation...

It's been around for a minute. Do look fun if I ever wanted to have a fling with an AR ever again. After being forced to pack one for so long I just can't get excited about one right now.

Man,

Gruff's boat is waaay nicer than Flave's.....

John,

20" barrels?

I looked at those from BHW last summer. Wondered if you could get the 75 Amax to 3000 and still fit in the mag box. Seemed an intriguing setup for an AR.

Sammo,

Why is it that your stolen pics,are soooooooo much better than the one's you actually "experienced"? Congratulations?!?



Bless your heart.

Laughing!...................














JohnSquirms,

I've never heard of any of that stuff.

FABULOUS Haybale & Crockett pictures,what equipment do you use? One can almost not see the fences,in your ALL hat and NO ranch "pursuits". Congratulations?!? Laughing!

Purty high zoot mounting "system" and optics there...I'll bet she REALLY reaches wayyyyyy out there. LAUGHING!

You oughtta call that piece of fhuqking schit THE Wyo Ripoff,for more than a few reasons,most of which is re-badged dog schit("proprietary").

Bless your heart.

Laughing!..................















'CUBIC,

Have used 'em to form 223Aye-Eyes in 7",7.7" and 8"...but not Salami. Will squirt 'em through a 16" 1-8" SALAMI boltgun tomorrow,along with 7",7.7",8" and 9" 22-250 Aye-Eyes and SALAMI too. RPM's is RPM's.

The ELD's average .011" greater length on the average,over the A-Max.




Flogged on 'em all day today,though nothing past the 1400yd line in the Krunchenticker. From a 225yd zero,that's a paltry 16.5 Mil ele correction in today's atmosphere and there's only 42 mils available upon the platform(30 MOA inclination ala AD RECON),though 'Horn's trump 'em soundly. 1400yd full value 10mph correction,is a trifle 4 Mils. Fredrica just took off her shoes,trying to count and keep pace,because them Mils are sooooooooo fhuqking "tricky". Laughing!

Cain't wait to hear about the 244 Wyo Ripoff. Mebbe Squirms will give it a fhuqking shot.(grin)

The 108 ELD's are right proper sinister. Hint.



My HEAVY 270 fhuqking LOVES 'em and I reckon I'd best build a HEAVY 6BR for giggles,then roll a 6 Creed',just for R&D. There was alotta 6XC'ing going on today,despite the schit Norma fhuqking brass. Resizing Alpha Creed's is THE way to go there,as their inherent uniformity is gawwdamned fhuqking amazing. Awaiting Lapooey's version to arrive for R&D. This Global Warming with all of it's ice,will put minds at ease in small primers and scant flash holes both.

Roll some 75 ELD's and don't fret looking back.

Hint...................














DUMBow,

The only thing you've "toted" in your "life",is STUPIDITY. Congratulations?!?

Bless your heart.

Laughing!................















MOJO,

'Squirms is THE last person who could begin to "talk" reamer specs...but she'll sell you a BDC with a smile on her face. Laughing!

75 ELD Smooch and ASC's as per a Krunchenticker always.



Boolits matter more than headstamps and despite the perpetual pleading of The Paper Hat Brigade,throat,twist and COAL prolly do in fact rate a thunk. Never been tough to cypher who shoots and who don't.(grin)

Bless their hearts.

Laughing!................

Care to make a wager on that drunkard? Have one sitting next to me right now, Colt M4......hint. Have a DD214 to prove I was packing M4's before they were designated M4's if your feeling lucky with your money, what is left after FOC that is.

If they are flying ok with form loads in a 1/8 AI it should be good. They'll get used for that and follow up in formed AI. Thanks.

The first version I saw was Whiteley's .224 AR.

We have a bit different throat and it is prudent to rename.

The AR Performance version that Lil Fish just discovered is called the .224 Predator.



I am getting 75gr AMAX @ 3000fps from 18 inches but it's hard on the cases.

As Lil Fish's camera won't take pictures outside I will give him another peek.



Lucky I had that fence to corner the turkey.

I've shot the rig pictured out to about 750 yards.... it was damn impressive.

Squats to pee?

Is that you?

David

Any feeding issues with it?

Do you even count? Don't answer that was rhetorical, the answer is no. Must be getting drunk while talking with Larry on how to spend his last ten bucks after the friend of the court raped him. I hear the power ball is up there. Good luck.

Come 'on - you can't fool me!

All that technical operator talk and whipping out your DD214. It's got to be you!

David

Smoove Operator...

David

ha!

This does indeed sound like squat-to-pee.

How the hell does a DD214 "prove" you were packing M4s before they were designated so? Do you have that ribbon?

Sounds about like when you tried telling someone on here (Mackey Sagebrush maybe?) about the procedures that plain cloths "air marshals" (or whatever you called it) go through when packing on commercial airliners.


It's always easy for a guy who has a DD214 to spot a bullshitter.

Funny, I don't see anywhere on my DD214 where it designates anything about what weapon I was carrying or anything of that sort. Makes me wonder if you know what a DD214 really looks like? So, what was your MOS?
BTW, I was 11B- Vietnam Era (missed going by a couple days) and we were just out of the test stages of the AR15 in those days. Still doesn't make me (or you) an expert about AR's, M4's or anything else for that matter...

Hasn't this nonsense thread about run it's course?
