Re: Trail camera pics 2016

I finally invested in a couple of trail cams from Midway USA. Here is a video from one of the first days I had the camera set up on a game trail I was thinking about using for archery season. It was shot about a week ago. We built a new house and moved in a few days before Christmas. Finally getting...

Re: 6.5 Grendel AR

yuppiejr, Thanks for the comments regarding my review. When you think about it, it was silly....no, more like stupid, for Alexander to have hyped this Wolf release as much as it was. While they did a great job of selling the first X number of pallets that arrived in the initial delivery, the word is...

Re: 6.5 Grendel AR

Were you seriously expecting something better? You can read the 90+ page thread on the 65Grendel forum about the Wolf ammo.....I'm not going to repeat it here. It was stated by the owner of Alexander Arms that he was averaging 1 MOA during development/testing. If I had seen 2 MOA in my 65G, I would...

Re: 6.5 Grendel AR

Had a chance to try out the 6.5 Grendel Wolf 100 gr FMJ steel case ammo. Aside from all the hype it had and the supposed near 1 MOA accuracy it showed during testing, I guess neither myself nor any other buyers have the magical Unicorn rifle necessary to see the promised accuracy. You are welcome to...

Re: 6.5 Grendel AR

AA recently got some new magazines in that folks seem to be quite pleased with. They hold 24 rounds. I recently purchased several 15 round mags from ASC (Ammunition Storage Components)....they make them and I've had no issues with them so far at the range. They work every bit as good as the AA magaz...

Re: More Random Fleet Farm Observations

I don't get it, who buys primers by the 100? I just bought a package (100) of CCI450 small rifle magnum primers a couple weeks ago. I was working with a new powder and found a number of loads using the CCI450 primer in the recipe. My prior results with that powder and CCI400s weren't bad and I didn...

Re: ACOG

I run a 3.5x ACOG on my AR-15. I run an EoTech XPS2 on my FNH SLP 12 gauge semi-auto. I appreciate some magnification on my AR and do not feel I need it on my shotgun, hence the configurations I currently have. Now that I've had the ACOG for a number of years, I've come to miss one thing that is typ...

Re: 6.5 Grendel AR

I have a 1st focal plane Vortex Viper PST on my .308 precision rifle. I like it a lot, however, I didn't buy that one for the Grendel. Those turrets are intended for a hunting rifle....at least not tromping through the woods anyway. I compromised and the Grendel got the Vortex Diamondback HP. So far...

Re: Best States for Gun Owners 2014

Actually they loosened the restrictions on crossbows some this year.CROSSBOWS • Persons age 60 and over with a valid archery license may take deer or turkey during the respective regular archery seasons. • Persons hunting under a regular firearms license may take deer, bear or turkey during the res...

Re: Best States for Gun Owners 2014

I would be pi$$ed if some airport security guard took my SureFire. I guess I'll be stuffing that in the check-in baggage along with all the other alleged "weapons" I typically travel with. I feel so much safer these days, when flying, because of their tight security. :roll: Since I will be...

Re: 6.5 Grendel AR

Ordered a case of Wolf 6.5 Grendel FMJ steel from Alexander Arms. The magical Unicorn cartridge from across the ocean finally materialized this week....been many years in the making from what I read. Price was pretty good....36 cents a round + shipping. AA claims they shoot right at 1 MOA. If they d...

Re: Best States for Gun Owners 2014

Indeed those were the good ol' days. :) Some years back, I opted to get a CCW. Took a class along with a simple exam, got fingerprinted after the exam, and then put about 10~15 rounds on target. In 6 days, I had my CCW in hand, courtesy of the AZ Highway Patrol. Since then, I've not had to undergo a...

Re: Best States for Gun Owners 2014

While I am really looking forward to moving back to the Bemidji area in 86 more Fridays, I will sorely miss the firearm liberties I've grown accustomed to here in Arizona. You can hunt with a suppressor here in Arizona. Having one locked in your gun safe in Minnesota is a felony, if memory serves me...

Re: 6.5 Grendel AR

Phatspeed7x, How goes it? Did you get an optic on it yet...and how did the magazine issue turn out? I've been working up loads for mine. Got some 95 gr Hornady V-Max that are doing good enough for varmint shooting. With Benchmark powder, a 5 shot group averages 2910 FPS in a .694" group. With A...
