I’m getting a little more serious about prairie dog hunting with my .223 savage 12FV. I’ve been shooting prone (which hurts because I don’t have a nice pad) or seated with a half assed bench to prop my gun on. What do you guys use as a shooting platform that is light weight when out on the range?
I bought a used model 12 in .223 with a bull barrel from a friend. My question is the gun has an internal magazine that holds 5 rounds. Is there anyway to convert this gun to a detachable magazine in anyway be it a stock change or some aftermarket parts? Thank you kindly!
Edit: I ask because I just took this gun prairie dog hunting over the 4th and love the gun but man does it suck loading from the top 5 at a time around the scope!
I have a .223 Wylde 1:9 16inch government M4 style barrel (pretty thin barrel) on my AR and I am going to go prairie dog hunting soon. I was wanting some opinions of the barrel if I am going to waste my time even bringing it as it will heat up way to fast or if it will be adequate? Thanks
I’m researching for my first press and came across the new Lyman brass smith series that is coming out. What’s Reddit’s thought on the new line of presses specifically the “ideal” model and the new turret press? I’d be loading .223 and 9mm.
So I just got this rifle today from a neighbor who is selling some guns due to job loss. He already pawned off the optics that the gun had. This is my first bolt action rifle and dont know much about optics to reach out and touch something. I need a few good suggestions to start my hunt thanks!
Budget: No clue but I want to spend enough to buy once cry once on the deal.
Any recommendations for the best/most durable snap cap brand for .223, 9x19 and 12 gauge I want to dry fire and train in my house and am overwhelmed by the selection of snap caps.
So this weekend I will be purchasing my first AR 15 and wanted a little advice on the purchase.
I’ve looked at a few rifles my choices as of now are either a Ruger 556, s&w m&p sport 2 or a dpms Oracle. I’d like to keep the purchase out the door to less than $800 with a few accessories what’s your thoughts on a DPMS I know the Ruger and S&W are approved entry level guns but I can’t find much on the DpMS on here?
