Anyone Hunt Their Rifles? Post Pics of Your Rig!

Recommended Posts

Pics coming.

 

The only game I've hunted out of state is deer.

 

I travel with two rifles both 30-06.

 

One is a converted 03A3 on a commercial receiver and cheap Fajen stock. 4x scoped. 21" barrel

 

Second is a H&R Ultra, this was an import built on a commercial FN action with a polygonal bore.  It has Williams Iron sights. 20" barrel

 

Both rifles shoot the same point of impact with the same hand loads.

 

The load I won't disclose because it is hot.  150gr Nosler Partition @ close to 3000 fps.

 

Both rifles shoot 3/4" at 100 yds.

When I'm on the ranch in Tx, I always have one of my AR's with me for hogs, coyotes, and whatnot.

For whitetail season, I have an old Remington 700 in .243. It was my Mom's hunting rifle. Love that little bolt action!

PizzaBob: that is a gorgeous collection. I really like the Ruger 77 in .243, oddly, as it's the least "special" gun in the group. Very, very nice.

 

Old School: that satin stocked gun is sweet!!! Thanks for posting.

Chris - The stock is a cheap Fajen and actually has some sap wood under the rear receiver bridge.  The two groove barrel was pulled and contoured.

Because it's a "bad weather" rifle and there were no synthetic stocks available at the time. The action is bedded in Micro-bed from the tang to the forend to prevent moisture growth. You can get off three shots before the barrel heats up because it's pretty thin.

Both of my Colt 6940's. Almost identical.

 

Too one has a EGW A2 comp, and a TA31F ACOG. That's my ranch rifle.

The bottom one has a Battlecomp, and a TA01NSN ACOG. Spare rifle.

Second pic is my Remington 700 BDL in .243. This was my mom's deer rifle I inherited after she died.

Many whitetail have been taken with that rifle.

This is me and my Marlin 1895GBL 18" in 45-70 (I am on the right. Smokin 50 is in the middle). It might be overkill, but it's fun.

Sorry about the lack of details. This was a hog hunt near Harrisburg PA. Mosin Rob puts them together once in a while.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
