2024.05.15 22:27 SSGOldschool A three day review of the M7 Spear
TLDR:
Over the course of three days, a friend of mine and I lived with the M7 Spear. We spent time at various ranges, doing "tactical stuff", getting in and out of HMMWV's and GSA's, while trying to figure out the ins-and-outs of the rifle.
My sample, #087, had between 8K and 10K round rounds through it. The number of combat vs training rounds was not tracked, but given the expected barrel life is 10K combat rounds we ran a borescope through the barrel and the chamber to see what we could see.
His sample, #529, had between 6K and 8K of an unknown mix combat and training rounds through it. We ran the borescope through it as well.
There was no real difference in the wear between the two rifles.
We spent the morning of the first day playing around with the ammunition and doing comparisons against 308 168gr SMK, while the ultrasonic cleaner did Gods work on the various bits and bobs of our sample rifles.
I've got mixed feelings about the MCX system. It ticks a lot of boxes, short stroke gas piston, no need for a buffer tube or spring, superior handling of gas when suppressed and so on.
However, when it comes down to the nitty-gritty of the maintenance? I absolutely despise it. Despite owning a MCX in 300 blackout myself, every cleaning session feels overly complex and time consuming.
We kicked off the afternoon with both rifles, setting up for grouping and zeroing—my rig was outfitted with the Tango 6T sporting the "Hellfire" reticle in MOA, resembling your standard rifle scope setup. His, on the other hand, featured the same Tango 6T but with Hellfire in MILS, decked out with the Christmas tree reticle.
Some time back, I made a comment after my initial rounds with the Spear, labeling it a "tack driver." In hindsight, I probably should have clarified that bit. Typically, when shooting a new rifle, if I land three out of five shots within a 1 to 1.5 MOA spread, I chalk up any outliers to user error rather than blaming the rifle or the ammunition.
However, it appears that assumption was a bit off.
Our zeroing and grouping efforts at 100 yards turned into quite the saga. We found ourselves mostly hitting 3 rounds within the 1 to 1.5 MOA range, but occasionally, one or two shots would balloon the group size to between 2.5 and 3 MOA.
Instead of descending into frustration and stubborn attempts to tighten these groups, we opted to settle for anything under three MOA as acceptable for our purposes and proceeded to finalize our zero.
Following our grouping and zeroing session, we spent the remainder of the afternoon plinking with training rounds at 100 yards.
During this, I learned a hard lesson about the non-reciprocating charging handle—it needs to be firmly locked forward before hitting the bolt release on the left side. After a couple of painful mishaps and a few close calls, I finally caught on and made it a routine to ensure the handle was properly set before engaging the bolt release.
I really wanted to get on board with the side charging handle, but after three days, I'm just not a fan. It tended to snag on my gear (Eagle MARCRIS plate carrier) when maneuvering or positioning the rifle to fire, making it less convenient than I had hoped.
Interestingly, I found myself using it more during offhand shooting. I'd instinctively remove my left hand from the pistol grip to work the side charging handle, rather than using my right hand on the traditional top charging handle. Yes, I'm aware this breaks the cardinal rule of keeping your firing hand on the grip, but this method felt more intuitive, similar to operating a bolt-action rifle.
When shooting offhand, the rifle scores highly. I don't often shoot this way, but I encountered none of the usual drawbacks associated with traditional AM platforms. Aside from the tricky side charging handle, the rifle seemed inherently designed for ambidextrous use, which I particularly appreciated when firing left-handed.
I was tempted to launch into a tirade about the ridiculously designed folding stock, but you deserve a more structured critique. Here are the three major gripes:
The next day, we arrived ready to group, zero, and qualify with a local unit. We had informed them of our visit and assumed everything was squared away with range control.
However, that assumption fell flat. Turns out, the range’s surface danger zones weren’t set up for the 277 Fury. Just as we finished dialing in our zero (.75 inches low at 25m), range control showed up, questioning our activities.
Following an awkward exchange and the diplomatic offering of a case of beer, they agreed to let us continue and even served as OIC and RSO for the KD range. We proceeded with the old KD qualification, alternating between marking and raising targets, and both of us qualified without any issues.
With some extra time on our hands, and much to the amusement of range control, the session evolved into a lively mix of burpees and sprinting between shooting positions. We experimented with various firing positions and sequences, such as starting from standing unsupported at 100 yards and moving down to kneeling unsupported. This exercise underscored the rifle’s heft yet manageability, while also highlighting how the forward-heavy balance made extended unsupported shooting particularly taxing on the arms and upper back.
The afternoon unfolded with battledrills and land navigation alongside the unit we were scheduled to qualify with. Given the theoretical roles and limited numbers, the platoon leader assigned us to the designated marksman/squad designated marksman roles, which was logical considering we were the only ones equipped with the new rifles while the rest of the squad used M4s.
This setup sparked an intense discussion among the officers about how tactical deployment might shift once the rifle was fully integrated into service. There was plenty of speculation on how military tactics and doctrines would need to adapt to leverage the new capabilities offered by this rifle.
However, I'm somewhat skeptical. I don't see this rifle as the revolutionary game-changer it’s touted to be. While it's undoubtedly suited for the designated marksman role, I doubt the Army will invest the necessary time, money, and resources to train every soldier to this level of proficiency. Consider that there are reserve units that only qualify every four years, often just to help "point-needy" soldiers piggyback for qualification. This rifle won’t alter that reality.
As for the night qualification, we were slated to test that as well, but circumstances didn’t allow for it, so I can’t comment on how the rifle performs at night with night vision devices.
On the third morning, we headed to the LMG range, ready to go full-auto from a bipod, gearing up to tackle the 249 qualification.
Honestly, this was the most amazing shooting experience I've had in ages. The only snag was the 20-round magazine capacity, which felt limiting amid the thrill—it was the only moment of frustration in an otherwise splendid session.
We ran a practice session with the training rounds, followed by a qualification shoot with both the training and combat rounds. By lunchtime, our shoulders were thoroughly sore, but I can't remember the last time I'd grinned that much in a long while.
Post-lunch, we dropped in on some local law enforcement officers who were operating a shoot house. Initially, we navigated the course with M4s to familiarize ourselves with the layout and safety protocols. After getting a handle on things, we switched to the M7s, running through the course using the last of our training rounds, having depleted our combat rounds earlier on the machine gun range.
Both of us found ourselves moving significantly slower with the M7s. Reviewing the footage, it was clear that I was painfully slow to get on target with the M7. It wasn't just about slower movements, but also a delayed response in engagement. Initially, I chalked it up to age, I'm over 50 and a bit heavier than ideal, but the reality struck when I saw I wasn’t this slow with the M4. In fact, I was quicker than some of the officers.
Similarly, my buddy was slower than usual, not lagging behind me, but certainly off his usual pace with the M4.
Interesting side note: We're no longer welcome at that shoot house. The staff was fully aware of our arrival and what we brought along, and everything seemed fine until the exercise wrapped up and we faced some "constructively harsh feedback" about 277 and damage done to the tire and sandbag walls as well as the plywood target backers.
That's rant for another time.
Regarding the suppressor:
It's really more of an enhanced flash hider than a true suppressor. I'm probably a bit biased—shooting a 300 Blackout through a Sig TI suppressor spoils you with its movie hitman silence.
By comparison, the M7 setup was louder than my suppressed .308 shooting 175gr SMK.
On the topic of the optic:
The Tango6 was decent.
The clarity was impressive, and its brightness and MOA configuration were points in its favor.
However, achieving a consistent cheek weld and finding the right optic position for proper eye relief across magnifications 1 through 6, especially from unsupported positions, proved challenging.
The issue could be me, the stock, or the optic itself. While it was somewhat bothersome, it wasn't enough to cause significant frustration.

At the small post we were on, the 25m zero range and qual range SDZ's did not allow for firing these rifles. Something we only learned after confirming our zeros on the 25m range.A review of the 277 Fury rounds is here and you may need to read it for some context, but I have endeavored to make this review stand alone as much as possible.
It's still heavy, but after a day or so you stop noticing it until you have to shoot from a standing position or doing are doing CQB. then you are painfully reminded how off balance the rifle is.
The two sample rifles we had were consistently 3 MOA guns.
The non-reciprocating charging handle on the left side is not as cool as I initially thought, and it ruins the whole "truly ambidextrous" feel that the Sig MCX line has.
The folding buttstock can go fuck itself.

Note when we did the ammo comparison we used a Remington 700PSS with 24" barrel. It quickly became apparent when we were testing the rifles, that was a poor benchmark, as the Remington outperformed both rifles in everything but rate of fire. Its a sniper rifle, granted its your Grandfather's sniper rifle, but its still a fucking sniper rifle. The Spear is not, its a battlerifle, and so I won't be including the comparisons here.We tried cleaning them without the ultrasonic cleaner...but I'm not sure these rifles had ever been properly cleaned before.

Instead of descending into frustration and stubborn attempts to tighten these groups, we opted to settle for anything under three MOA as acceptable for our purposes and proceeded to finalize our zero.
Side note, my last zero group was my best of the day coming it at just over 2 MOA. My friends best group came in at 1.8, and quite honestly he's a better shot than I am.Research shows that the original specs for the NGSW called for a 4 MOA battle rifle. Despite some noticeable barrel wear on our two test models, both rifles still performed beyond this requirement.

I was tempted to launch into a tirade about the ridiculously designed folding stock, but you deserve a more structured critique. Here are the three major gripes:
The stock's release mechanism is a convoluted affair involving an awkward dance of pushing down on the rifle while yanking up on the buttstock just to get it to close.After wrestling with these issues, we wrapped up with a quick cleaning session for the rifles before heading out to the range we’d "camping" at.
Once "closed," the stock doesn't truly secure—it juts out at a precarious 20-degree angle, seemingly relying on mere friction to stay in place, which neither of our samples managed successfully.
The overall build felt flimsy and loose, perhaps a consequence of the extensive wear from firing 8,000 to 10,000 rounds.
The next day, we arrived ready to group, zero, and qualify with a local unit. We had informed them of our visit and assumed everything was squared away with range control.
However, that assumption fell flat. Turns out, the range’s surface danger zones weren’t set up for the 277 Fury. Just as we finished dialing in our zero (.75 inches low at 25m), range control showed up, questioning our activities.

2024.05.14 19:44 SSGOldschool A review of the 277 Fury (training and combat rounds) - Spear Review to follow
TLDR: The .277 Fury rounds currently have incredibly tight performance metrics, boasting less than 1 MOA deviation between training and combat rounds. Manufactured with precision by Sig, they outperform traditional .308 rounds in standard deviation (as measured in fps), showing promise for both PRS shooters and military use. However, as production scales up, there's a concern that quality might drop.
I had the unique oppertunity to spend three days living with and shooting the M7 Spear, courtesy of a friend with access to the rifles and ammo. For a comparison, I brought along my 308.
We started our test, not with the Spears but with a Sig Cross 277 PRS to establish a baseline of the 277 Fury capabilities.
Test Rifles Setup:
The .277 Fury's training and combat rounds are startlingly consistent, staying within one MOA of each other—an impressive feat demonstrating superior accuracy across the board.
Velocity: Three groups of five rounds of each (training, combat, and .308) were fired over a chronograph.
I was initially surprised with the consistency of the velocity and the small standard deviation. With the scrutiny around Sig and the Army's contract, Sig has likely placed a high emphasis on consistency and quality control around their production rendering this result less surprising.
Grouping Results @100y:
Three groups of five shots were fired from a bench and sled setup, which locked the rifles in place:
The 277 Fury round, as currently produced by Sig, is a sub MOA round at worst, and a .5 MOA round at best.
However, given that Sig’s meticulous attention to detail is what sets these rounds apart, I have to wonder if Lake City (and other manufactures) can maintain this level of quality as production scales up.
Spoiler for the rifle review: While the ammunition is capable of this level of consistency and accuracy, the Spear is not.
edit: As my friend reminds me, he thinks we made a mistake in setting up the groupings at 100 yards. That introduced too many variables that were outside our control. He believes the Fury round is at worst a .75 MOA round, and plans to use it to qualify and compete in next years Mammoth Sniper Challenge.

We started our test, not with the Spears but with a Sig Cross 277 PRS to establish a baseline of the 277 Fury capabilities.
Test Rifles Setup:
Sig Cross 277 PRS: 16" barrel plus a Sig SLX suppressor, total 23", paired with a Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25.Ballistics:
Remington 700 PSS: 24" barrel, unsuppressed, sporting a Leupold Mark 4 LT M3.
The .277 Fury's training and combat rounds are startlingly consistent, staying within one MOA of each other—an impressive feat demonstrating superior accuracy across the board.
MOA—minute of angle—is a measure of angular precision, and a smaller number means better accuracy. 1 MOA at 100 yards is roughly one inch. 1 MOA at 200 yards is roughly two inches. 1 MOA at 300 yards is three inches.This indicates there should be little difference in accuracy, when switching from the cheaper, training rounds, to the actual combat rounds.
Velocity: Three groups of five rounds of each (training, combat, and .308) were fired over a chronograph.
Training rounds (135gr fmj): 7.7 fps standard deviationAll the Fury rounds were stamped with SIG.
Combat rounds (150gr fmj) : 4.3 fps standard deviation
.308 (168gr Sierra MatchKing): 10.4 fps standard deviation
I was initially surprised with the consistency of the velocity and the small standard deviation. With the scrutiny around Sig and the Army's contract, Sig has likely placed a high emphasis on consistency and quality control around their production rendering this result less surprising.
Grouping Results @100y:
Three groups of five shots were fired from a bench and sled setup, which locked the rifles in place:
Training rounds grouped at .60, .67, and .73 MOAThe slight degradation in the Fury rounds' accuracy could stem from the suppressor heating up, as shots were fired in quick succession without much adjustment needed.
Combat rounds grouped at .45, .51, and .53 MOA
308 SMK: .35, .45, and .3 MOA
The 277 Fury round, as currently produced by Sig, is a sub MOA round at worst, and a .5 MOA round at best.
However, given that Sig’s meticulous attention to detail is what sets these rounds apart, I have to wonder if Lake City (and other manufactures) can maintain this level of quality as production scales up.

2024.05.08 21:39 Phat_Huz Scope Dilemma
When I first decided to get into this hobby, I picked up Ryan Cleckner’s book and decided I needed a Remington 700. I saw that they retailed for around $900 so I walked into the local gun store with $2400 and not a thought in my head about scopes. The only thing I knew at the time was that I should spend equal to or more than the cost of the rifle on glass. I walked out with a Trijicon 10 mile 6-24x50.
Currently, my set up is a Tikka T3x tact a1 in .308 (24in barrel), Trijicon 10 mile 6-24x50 and a 20MOA A.R.C M-brace.
I now realize I should have gone with FFP instead of SFP scope from the start. Id like to make the switch to FFP and get some time with it and holdovers before I show up to a long-range class later this summer.
At this point I’m just bench rest shooter. I do have access to a 1000-yard range but realistically am only shooting out to 400 yards (although I would like to go farther in the future).
First issue is price. In trying to follow the rule of spending as much on glass as you do the rifle, I’m getting caught up. The tact a1 retails for around $2300. However, its basically a T3x in a better (and overpriced) chassis. The T3x retails for under $1000. Should I be looking in the $1000 range, $2000+ range, or do I split the difference?
Second issue is the fact that I have essentially put the cart before the horse in that I now have a $300 scope mount that limits me to a 30mm tube and a 50mm objective lens. Do I get rid of it and get the correct sized one after I settle on a scope?
Any thoughts on these two things would help me narrow down my search a ton. Once I’m in the correct price range I can start narrowing in on specific models.
Currently, the best option I can see is selling the Trijicon and picking up a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x for close to the same price. They have the same tube and objective lens size so it would drop right into the M-brace. Elevation adjustments are identical too so zeroing at 100 yard with the 20MOA mount wouldn’t be an issue.

2024.05.08 06:42 shadolink765 300 win mag loudness vs other rifle calibers.
Hi gun folks. I see a remington 700 in 300 win mag for sale and it's got the coolest stock on it. Really tempted to buy it but I hear 300 win mag and all the other .30 magnum calibers are really hard on the hearing even with good hearing protection and doubling up. I'm under 30 but have gotten minor tinitus from a job driving a loud truck all day so I quit. I've shot a good few guns before and never noticed any ringing because I've used custom ear buds + walker razors or 3m muffs. To get to the point, How many more db is a 300 win mag vs a 308 or 3006 or 7.62x39? While I love shooting, I don't really want to spend over a thousand bucks for something that's going give me life long hearing problems + possibly dementia (There is a link between tinitus and neuro degenerative disorders). So if anyone has an idea on how loud these things are I would deeply appreciate it. If there are loads that are equal in decibel rating to 308 I think that would completely healthy as long as I don't shoot it every week . Wouldn't be able to afford it either at the price of a cheap coffee per round lol but I do hear it is one of the best long range cartridges without getting into the stupidly expensive magnums like 375 hh and 338 lapua. Hope someone out there has an answer.

2024.05.06 23:22 That_Signature6930 TT diamond trigger. Is there a 22lr bolt action that I could put this in?a
Have this trigger coming out of Remington ADL 700 308 cal that I’m selling, new owner wants stock trigger in. I’d like to install in a bolt action 700 clone in 22lr. I just don’t know if these exist. Something like a bolt action Christianson arms? Please send me you thoughts. I’m a little over my knowledge level with this trigger? Thanks much in advance.

2024.05.03 03:59 Flat-Dark-Earth Why YOU should own a Dangerous Game Rifle.
What is a dangerous game rifle?
In the simplest sense, it's a rifle designed to hunt Dangerous Game (DG). Dangerous game are large megafauna and pachyderms that present a high probability of causing bodily harm or death to the hunter. Dangerous game include the "African 5 Five" which includes leopard, lion, cape buffalo, rhino and elephant but also includes hippo, Asiatic water buffalo, bison, bears and many more. Anything big with sharp teeth, clays and horns that can do you harm.
A dangerous game rifle is traditionally a bolt-action or double barreled rifle but it could also include single shots and even lever actions and semi-autos in the North American context. Picture an elephant gun, that's what we're describing about here.
Some of the common traits of a bolt-action dangerous game rifle are:
I'm going to focus on the calibers that fit the more traditional definition of a DG cartridge as required by African hunting requirements, however looking through a North American lens, I'd be open to considering the likes of 338 WinMag, 358 Norma and 45-70 dangerous game cartridges for NA game.
African nations place minimum caliber requirements as a pre-requisite for hunting the big give. it's generally a caliber requirement but sometimes also a minimum energy requirement. A handful of nations allow for the 9.3x62 (.366 caliber) for use on dangerous game, but many do not. The standard load of the 9.3X62 is a 286gr bullet moving at 2,350 fps, producing about 3,500 ft-lbs of energy and 28 pounds of felt recoil. The main advantages of the 9.3x62 is the ammo is relatively easy to source, it fits a standard length action (30.06 length) and the felt recoil is relatively low compared to the others on this list.
Stepping up from there you get into the 375's, whether it be the 375 Holland & Holland or 375 Ruger. The 375's are universally accepted across all African nations as the minimum caliber for up to and including elephant. The standard load for the 375's is propelling a 300 grain bullet between 2,550fps-2,650fps, producing upwards of 4,700 ft-lbs of energy and around 40 pounds of recoil.
The 375's are the best one-and-done cartridge choice for a do-it-all North American dangerous game rifle. Ammo and rifles are plenty and affordable. The recoil is stout but can be easily managed by an average shooter who's used to .308, 30.06 etc. The 375HH is capable of taking all game in North America.
Once you've mastered the 375s and want to step up (or you're just a glutton for punishment) you arrive at the lower 40's (40 cals). These include the 404 Jeffery (.423 cal) and the 416's (Rigby, RemMag and Ruger, .416 cal). All of these will throw a 400 grain bullet between 2,300fps-2,400 fps, producing up to 5,100 ft-lbs of energy and 58 pounds of recoil in the case of the 416 Rigby, that's approximately 3x more recoil than a 180 grain 30.06 load.
The 416's strike a nice balance of being relatively flat shooters (like the 375's) but also provide more stopping power with less recoil with the larger calibers to follow.
Jumping up another level you arrive at the .458 cartridges, starting with the 458 WinMag which is likely the most commonly available and accessible of the .458's. The 458 WinMag throws between a 400-500 grain bullet at 2,150fps-2,250 fps. The full power loads of 500 grains at 2,150 fps produce over 5,000 ft-lbs of energy and 62 pounds of recoil (similar to the 416's). I'd argue that the 458 WinMag is the upper limit of the "sane" cartridges that is still applicable for North American game and that can be mastered by the average shooter, with recoil that isn't quite retina-detaching levels like the heavy hitters that follow.
If you've ever heard the term stopping rifle, it's a rifle used by a professional hunter (PH) chambered in something with enough authority to instantly turn out the lights on a large critter that's about to turn you into red mush and pink mist, from about 10 yards away. The following cartridges would fit into this category

Some of the common traits of a bolt-action dangerous game rifle are:
- Magnum length action
- Controlled round feed action
- Iron sights, i.e. "express" style sights
- Internal magazine
- Barrel band sling swivel
- Wood stock and blued barrel (although other finishes are becoming popular)

- 458 Lott- 500 grains at 2,300 fps, producing 5,800+ft-lbs of energy and 70lbs of felt recoil.
- 500 Nitro Express- 570 grains at 2,150 fps, producing 5,800+ft-lbs of energy and 75lbs of felt recoil
- The 500 Jeffery or 505 Gibbs that can push a 600 grain bullet over 2,100 fps, producing 100lbs of felt recoil.
- 577 Nitro Express - 750 grains at 2,050 fps, producing over 7,000ft-lbs of energy and 127 pounds of felt recoil.
Bolt Action Options:
- Zastava M70 (375HH, 458 WinMag) -$1,000
- Ruger M77 Hawkeye - Guide Gun/African/Alaskan (375 Ruger, 416 Ruger) - $1,800
- Ruger Safari Magnum -RSM (375HH, 416 Rigby, 458 Lott) - $3,000 used.
- Winchester Model 70 Safari Express (375HH, 416 RemMag, 458 WinMag) -$2,100
- CZ Safari Magnum (375HH, 416 Rigby, 404 Jeffery, 458 lott, 505 Gibbs) - $3,000 used
- Sako 85 Kodiak/Brown Bear (375HH, 416 Rigby, 450 Rigby, 500 Jeffery) - $3,000+ used.
- Heym Express (375HH, 416 Rigby, 458 Lott, 505 Gibbs) - $12,000+
- Sabatti Big 5 - (450 Nitro Express, 470 Nitro Express, 500 Nitro Express) -$5,000
- Merkel 140/160 AE - (375HH, 416 Rigby, 450/400 NE, 470 NE, 500NE) - $12,000+
- Krieghoff Big Five - 470 NE, 500 NE, 577 NE - $20,000+
- Heym 89B (375HH, 416 Rigby, 450/400 NE, 470 NE, 500NE, 577NE) - $20,000+
- Ruger N0.1 - (375HH, 416 Rigby, 458 WinMag, 450,400NE, 500NE and more) - $$2,000-3,000
- Because they are epic.
- Because saying you shoot a 375 Holland & Holland or 416 Rigby is indefinitely classier than a .223 or .308.
- Because recoil is addictive and once you've experienced some, you want more.
- Because they are often handcrafted works of art that would make for a wall-hanger centerpiece in any collection.
- Because they are still very much used and applicable for hunting North American game. No you won't blow the deer in half, that's a myth.
- Because many of these cartridge's have very storied histories with famous hunters who engrained them in the history books.
- Because maybe, just maybe you'll one day find yourself hunting in Africa or facing down the charge of an angry Brown Bear and would like to have the proper gun for the occasion.
I'm hoping to see more of these rifles and the discussion of these cartridges pop up here.
Happy Hunting.
2024.05.02 22:37 SinaSyndrome Scope mounting question for Bergara B14 Ridge .308 with a 20 inch barrel
I bought the B14 Ridge .308 with a 20 inch barrel, and I'm looking at getting a Vortex Venom 5-25x56 FFP scope for it. I know it's a clone of the Remington 700, so I'm thinking i can get a Cross-Slot IPC Base from Leupold to mount the Vortex 34mm Riflescope rings to.
My question is, which ring height should I get so that the scope can sit as close to the rifle as possible, while still having space between the scope and the rifle. Would a low or medium height work, or do I need high rings to give enough space for the 56mm objective lens?
I'm mainly going to be using the rifle for hunting, but I want to try out long range comp shooting too, which is why I'm going for the 5-25x. If I wasn't planning on doing competitions, I would probably go for the 3-15x44 Venom scope.
Does anyone have experience with this gun for hunting and competing? I'm open to any other recommendations too.

 | Hi friends, submitted by Deedle_Thuglife to guns [link] [comments] Unfortunately I had a family member pass away recently. I am now in charge of settling his estate. He got into guns later in life so most of these were purchased later in life and hold no sentimental value, they will need to be sold to hopefully help cover some of his final expenses. Before he passed he sat down with me to go over what he had. Here’s the list:
So yeah, if there’s any sites that you can recommend or any tips that you can provide, I would be grateful! |

Whether I was crocheting or knitting, the stitches flowed smoothly and easily. I particularly appreciated the suggested gauge, which made it extremely easy to gauge the size of my projects, and the variety of crochet hooks and knitting needles I could use with it. However, no product is without its drawbacks. The Starlight yarn did tend to fray more than I would have liked, and I encountered a few knots in my skeins.

The gun has such a powerful presence, it demands attention wherever you put it up. The gray finish certainly adds an antique touch, and the wooden stock is both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. One of my favorite aspects of this replica is the lever-action mechanism. It works just like the original, giving you a feel of the Old West right in your own home. And even though it's a non-firing version, it perfectly demonstrates how the loading system works. However, there's one thing I would change. At 38 3/4 inches, it's quite a large piece to handle.

The brass finish frame adds an authentic touch to this historical weapon and offers a robust feel when held. However, one must remember that although it looks and feels the part, it lacks the necessary components for actual firepower.

Holding it, you can feel the authenticity of the design, with its engraved silver finish and octagonal barrel that harkens back to a time when guns were crafted with precision.

So, when I heard about the Parris Mfg. Co. Li'l Ranger Toy Rifle, I was intrigued. I expected the usual flimsy toy, but was pleasantly surprised by its metal and plastic build. The working latch was a nice touch, adding an extra element of realism to the toy. As a bonus, it even came with a sling for easy carry. However, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. The plastic rings, while compatible, were sold separately, making the initial purchase a bit more expensive than anticipated. Additionally, the toy started showing signs of wear and tear quite quickly, with parts becoming loose and eventually breaking. Overall, the Li'l Ranger Toy Rifle was a fun and engaging toy for my younger self, but it didn't quite stand up to the test of time. While it had its moments, the durability and value for money were certainly areas for improvement. 🔗Authentic Civil War 370 Rifle Replica for Collectorshttps://preview.redd.it/3vbhfnstzywc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec328f993e2a522d6ecf39e93aa3748d7690ad74 The Parris Civil War Musket is a historically accurate replica, boasting an authentic wooden and metal construction.

Modeled after the iconic Winchester that starred John Wayne in the film, this replica has the timeless charm of the old west. Upon receiving the item, I was impressed by its craftsmanship and attention to detail. The die-cast zinc body paired with the wooden stock really brought the rifle to life. However, what initially caught my eye was the functional long lever, a staple feature in many western films. While it can't be fired, it does manage to give the collectible that extra touch. Unfortunately, it wasn't all smooth sailing. The replica is quite fragile, which is disappointing for the price point. I was particularly cautious with holding the item, as I didn't want to risk damaging it further when trying to actuate the lever. My biggest concern was the barrel, which unfortunately wobbled and came off easily from the receiver. I had to use glue to keep it in place permanently, which was far from ideal. Despite these challenges, the rifle still looks great and serves as a beautiful addition to my collection. In conclusion, the DX1069 Denix Rifle Replica is an eye-catching collectible that brings a nostalgic flair to any room. However, it's important to handle the item with care due to its fragile nature. 🔗Authentic 18th Century Kentucky Rifle Replica for Outdoor Enthusiastshttps://preview.redd.it/bre3yyruzywc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=354cf99259348df2114ed657bec5286bcf7c485e I was able to get my hands on the Denix 1138 Kentucky Rifle Replica, and let me tell you, it's a beauty. With its historical accuracy and intricate details, it really takes you back to the late 1700s. The shorter version makes it perfect for my home, and it's quite impressive how far off the shot would have been without the "rifled" bore design! . However, I wish it could come with some additional safety features, as some of the moving parts are quite sensitive and may be accident-prone. Nonetheless, the Denix 1138 Kentucky Rifle Replica is definitely a standout for any history enthusiast or collector. 🔗Colonial Replica 1807 French Flintlock Riflehttps://preview.redd.it/5r8qz67vzywc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5746f7e3c766d09e59da6785d031b5602a07e8ca When I first laid eyes on the Denix Colonial Replica 1807 French Non Firing Gun, I couldn't help but be impressed.

Help me decide: Keep a 30-06 or buy a .308?
I am an occasional hunter, primarily deer in the southeast, shots not exceeding 500 yds. I have a very basic Remington 700 30-06, which I’ve owned for several years now. It has a light barrel and a ton of kick, not a very fun rifle to shoot and tracking your shots is challenging.
I keep toying around with the idea of selling it and buying a .308, with the perceived advantage that a .308 would be easier to shoot accurately and better-placed shots are more important than a bigger cartridge. I figure a .308 (especially in a thicker barrel) would give me an easier time shooting. I have a bolt-action 6.5CM that I use for PRS and NRLHunter, and I have a great time shooting that. I do not want to use that 6.5CM for hunting though, as it’s outfitted with a Xmas tree FFP scope and some PRS-friendly accessories that I don't want to remove.
I don’t think I need the knockdown power of the 30-06 given my deer shots are usually close. Seems like plenty of deer have been killed with .308s. So if I don’t need the power and I don’t like the rifle, why not trade it out for something “better”? I’ve thought about putting a brake on the 30-06 to mellow it out, but not sure if that would make enough difference.
The specific rifle in question is a 30-06 R700 BDL in a Magpul Hunter stock, with a Viper PST scope on it (6x25, SFP). I really like the scope, even though the low-magnification is a bit big. I could probably sell the rifle for five to six hundred bucks, and would keep the scope. I have an aftermarket trigger that would transplant to the new rifle.
The replacement rifle would be a Bergara HMR in .308 with that same Viper scope. (I already have a HMR in 6.5CM and really like that setup with the stock and AICS mag.) That new rifle costs about a thousand dollars at Cabelas. I’m willing to put the four to five hundred dollars into the difference if this is the right thing to do.
How say you all?
