Old School

Well all shooters match their bullet to their rate of twist or should. Sometimes I like to shoot the heaviest bullet I can, Like I shoot 69gr 224 in a 1:9 Barrel. Well that I consider the max weight for that twist BUT they shoot very well. So for kicks and giggles I measured the rate of twist...Not 1:9 at all it's 1:8.5 which makes a difference. Now my Savage 12 bolt gun is supposed to be 1:9.25 Well that's not right either it's 1:8.75 So the take away? Not all barrels are what they are stamped and if you measure you may have more bullet flexibility.

There appears to be a concurrence here. Width and grip length are more important than slide/barrel length. I usually pocket carry but in the times I IWB carry I go w/ a G19 even though I do have a G26.

Yep come up to CR and I'll guest you at the 300

Yep knowing your distance is important. If you're hunting from a stand you need to know the distance of every "deer approach route" before hand and I have even done it with a string before hand. While stalking you're not going to be able to use a range finder, you won't have time nor do you want the extra motion to use it. Yep I have and use a range finder but once I use it from the stand and know my ranges I'm done with it. A better thing is learning to Recognize your distances. Good luck with you bow Lad!!

I strongly disagree with your OPINION on a small rifle of the caliber .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO Loud obnoxious rifles don't make range friends when the benefit in my OPINION is minimal.

I laughed my ass off when I saw the G43 offered. They sucked all the fanboys into buying the G42 and then came out with the G43. Marketing genius!

I'm with MWPX on this one. What is the source of the ammo?

Good serviceable rifle cheap http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/19915/s/del-ton-rifle-dt-sport-lite-16-5-56-lw-dtsportlt/?utm_source=More+Easter+Deals%3A+Delton+AR15+Rifle+%24449.99%2C+Moe+Pistol+Build+Kit+%2489.99+%26+More&utm_campaign=Constant+Contact&utm_medium=email

I like the looks of your Savage better and I'll bet the Anschutz won't shoot any better. How's the Savage trigger? If you decide to dump the Savage give me a shout.

To OP: #1 Rule... There are no rules! Survive!!

Huh????

Yep I did some research after I posted. Savage / Anschutz still sticks in my head from the old days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who owns ANSCHUTZ?

Yep. You're talking to a guy that's OCD. I totally understand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know where your load is or what powder you're using but when loading bulk ammo you may want to trust your powder measure more. Single stage press for bottle neck cartridges is not a BIG disadvantage. Just load in batches. Crimp? Not always necessary.

Duh!! Sorry We even talked before about you being in SC. Dan - Good Luck with the move. And Yep, I'm going to spend as much in SC as my house is worth up here. Of course the taxes will be about 15% of what I pay here.

If you have a SC CCW I guess you are a SC property owner. I don't understand your last statement Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm in SC every 6 weeks looking for a house outside of Charleston Home prices are not much cheaper And SC CCW is not all that reciprocal but check it out. Has to be better than NJ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First distance is 50 yds at CR. You meet me there and unless the scope is unsuitable we'll make it work. I'll let you try a cheek rest which may be your problem.

I'm sure you'll get multiple answers on the carbine stock on the rifle length gas system. I've gone rifle stock on carbine length gas system no problem. I think you have some other issues with your setup. #1 A1/A2 stocks are notoriously short for a scope. So unless your physical proportions are real limited you should be able to use it comfortably. #2 Trajectory is trajectory no matter the sighting device. #3 Bore sight and use a spotting scope or even binoculars for 50 yds. (you don't need a bore sight laser to bore sight) If you need help I live close to CR and can get you squared away.

Enjoy!! That's what the WMA is for.

All depends on polling numbers. That's all that counts.

Still it's still bigger than the Kahr and the G42. In some cases smaller is better.

I understand your desire to "DIY". But for less than it cost you to do it right I think you can send it out an have it hot blued. I use East Coast Bluing in Goshen, NY reasonable and decent work. BTW. The hot bluing will be more durable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At 300 yds four stages Cold bore shot. Shapes (you're assigned I think 10 out of 25 don't make a mistake). Shredder, and "Know your limits"
