Re: I am thinking about building this rifle -

I really wish Howa offered the 1500 mini action in 300 blk. They offer it in 7.62x39 instead. If they did that would be the gun to buy. Last November I bought the RARR from Whittaker Guns. It is/was supposed to be my daughter's deer rifle. She did take a buck with it just a few days ago. BUT - I rea...

Re: 2016 Deer Hunting Results - Post Pics Here!

Good morning to all. I have another one for you. This past weekend my daughter and I went to the farm for our weekly hunting adventure. This year the hunting has been off and on as compared to 6 to 8 years where it's been rather consistent regarding deer activity. As far as activity goes, this year ...

Re: 2016 Deer Hunting Results - Post Pics Here!

Thank you gentlemen! Wjackson11x, I hunt the piedmont and east central Georgia. I've been lucky to hunt several counties over the years. We saw one small buck this morning but he was moving too fast for her to get a shot. I want her first one 75 yards or closer, broadside, and eating acorns or browse.

Re: I am thinking about building this rifle -

Right now I get consistent 3/4" groups out of my RARR. It likes Lil Gun and Nosler 125 bt and Barnes 110 tac tx. I'm in no hurry to get this rifle built, and I appreciate the input. Looks like I need to consider a standard chamber but will probably go with a 1/10 twist. If there isn't a huge ga...

Re: I am thinking about building this rifle -

Are you getting 2750 fps with the 300 BLK and the Hornday 110 gr vmax? Curious as to what recipes are getting you those speeds.

Why not limit chamber length if I never want to shoot anything over 150? Closer to the lands should mean better accuracy correct?
