Went to the Dark Side (Only Joking)
Had the chance to have a AR platform built so I took the plunge. Now I am not new to the AR (Carried one for Years, Many years). But have always been a fan of bolt rifles for the accuracy, with the vast improvement made and floating barrels, they don’t shoot one hole, but I have rifles that will (provided I do my part).

Had a 1-7 twist barrel enabling the shooting of heavy bullets, worked up the load that I like and the rifle likes. Feeding the rifle 68gr HPBT’s moving at 2950.

I did resist the BIGGER is better battle on the scopes, stayed with a nice little 2-7 power, I killed lots of animals with a fixed 4 power, I don’t think I need a 6-18 power scope to shoot coyotes? I have reached out to 300yds with the set up now, I can call them in closer than that.

Mags: they tried to load me up with a bunch of 20 rds mags; I passed on them and took 1 5 rd, and 2 10 rd. mags. If I cannot get the dog in 5 rds, what good is a 20 rd going to do?

Will post pics when I get some

Have a great day

Sounds fun! I'm excited to see some pics of your new set up. My father in law recently built an AR and he loves it. I haven't had the chance to shoot it yet, but I'm hoping to soon!

tried and tried to load photos, Hope the Webmaster can help me load them,

If Webmaster gets them loaded you must forgive the mess on the cleaning table, been doing lots of shooting and cleaning

Here is the pics, sorry it didn't work for you...I'll look into seeing if I can figure out why or how to fix it.

(sorry don't know why it turned a couple upside down either??)

That's a great looking set up. That sounds like a blast! Have fun going after coyotes!

great looking set up! It aught to be a shooter for sure!

Fancy Schmancy!
as far as your choice of scope, I hit prarie dogs consistently(not every time) out to 300 with an EOtech sight. Love it for the AR and have been very impressed with my ability to make longer shots with it.-------SS
