Finally made it to the range today. Velocities averaged around 2525fps on these factory Nosler 140gr BTs. I’m going to start loading for it soon but I’ll probably go through this season with these. Still shoots around an inch so hopefully I can tighten that up some with hand loads, who knows I...
What do you feel is the perfect power for a 22lr scope? 50/50 hunting/range toy
I’ve been using a 2.5-10 but I am probably going to move that to another rifle. While I was looking at a replacement for my 22 it had me wondering what others would choose for their setup
Never said elk lol. We have whitetail and hogs. If I were going out west for elk I would definitely take something else. This is going to be in more ground blinds and tree stands for the little SE deers LoL. I usually have a rest or shooting sticks
I have 2 other rifles at 24”, another one at 20” and now this one at 16.5. I plan on using this in tree stands and ground blinds where i’m not going to have long shots. So yes, 24” plus the can is a little much.
I have enough issues with my hearing that I’m going to take the silencer with me as...
I picked it up yesterday but won’t be able to hit the range for a few weeks. Still waiting on parts to come in to finish the build. Looks like it gonna be an awesome setup for tight areas! Was getting close to 2900fps yesterday with my daughter’s rifle that has a 20” barrel. So hopefully 2800ish
I dropped it off and decided on 16.5. I’ll see what the velocities look like when u get it back. Should be fine for most the areas I shoot and I have plenty other options if I feel the need for more. Thanks for the opinions!
I’m taking a 24” 7mm-08 to the Dr tomorrow for a cut and threading and I’m trying to decide on barrel length. I’m planning on using this at short ranges in tight trees but don’t want to limit myself too much. So, what’s the shortest length you can still get decent performance from the old 7HT?
