So before this deer season me and a friend made a pair of AR pistols in 7.92x33. Well after some headaches and teething pains we got then to be reliable and accurate. I carried it in the woods for the first time this morning and as luck would have it I scored lol. It's just a small doe but she...

For several months now myself and a friend has been sourcing parts and putting together, we believe to be the only 7.92x33 AR pistol in existence. Well a few days ago the barrel work was finished by my friend so today we put it all together and got to testing. Well IT WORKS. Factory PPU 124fmj...

So a few weeks I posted about my Kimber Stainless ii 1911 in 45ACP. Now at this point I have only 85 or so rounds through it but it's been 100% reliable with 3 different mags and 3 brands of ammo. So far I'm very pleased, have no complaints at all. Now the shocking part is the accuracy, I'm not...

Today I got some range time and I took the opportunity to shoot my recently acquired brand new Kimber Stainless ii 5" barrel. It's completely stock just like it came out of the box. I did a field strip and cleaning prior to shooting. I shot at 10 yards at a standard 6" round bullseye target. I...

Some may have my earlier thread about the new wildcat from MDWS. Well I won't bore you with all the data but it's essentially a 250 Savage in a AR-15. Accuracy has been good, reliability has been excellent, and the barrel just continues to impress. I have over 150 rounds through the barrel now...

Today I got to put some rounds through a new cartridge in development. It's an AR-15 cartridge made by MDWS called the 25 GPC. It's a 6.8spc case that's had the shoulder angle blown out and forward upping powder capacity. I was using fresh brass simply ran through the sizing die and loaded. A...

I'm sure some of you guys have heard on this site about a Wildcat AR-15 cartridge called the 7mm Valkyrie. IMO it is the most versatile cartridge for deer inside the AR-15 platform. Bruce Finnegan is the creator and maker of this video. He used a common bullet that many Valkyrie shooters...

Today I took my complete upper from MidwayUSA to a friends house to shoot and get some data. It is a 18" 1:8 barrel in .22 Nosler. Here is my report on it. I fired approximately 40 rounds and had ZERO issues it was 100% reliable. 1-28-16 50*F 15mph wind All rounds fired is new unfired brass...

This morning I got my second deer with my 7VAR! It was complete luck. I had a doe come by early this morning and I had a shot, but couldn't "make the shot" I had to try to stand up and shoot because she was so far downhill to me. I started to stand up and she saw me move. I froze and a few...

So a few years ago I got a Winchester Model 100 in .308. I got it for a great price and I've been offered considerably more money than I paid, but I just gotta hang on to it. It is a 1962 Model and is easily in 95% or better condition. I cleaned it up when I got and got the new designed firing...

As the title states deer season is over here in Alabama. I wasn't as successful as I would've liked, but I was able to bag me a big doe this past Friday. I am a relatively new hunter w/ only 3 years experience of serious hunting. I had a long time friend and a co-worker, that are very...

As some of you guys know I recently got bit by the AR Hunting Bug and that thread can be found here: http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=568634 I got a little bit of time with those rifles yesterday and my initial impressions are that I LOVE THEM!! I did shoot them to get them...

As the title says I've got the AR bug for deer hunting. In the last few days I've bought a 6.5 Grendel upper and other parts to make it a complete rifle. Should weigh less than 9lbs scoped. I have ideas for it to be a "fun gun" and plink steel @ 500 yards and then deer hunt with it occasionally...

So today after hunting all season long my wife finally was able to get a shot on a deer. It was a small doe, but a legal deer none the less. It was ~125 yards away making a brisk walk right at the shooting house we were sitting in. My wife got her gun out the window and was following the deer in...

Yesterday, I picked up a .308 Winchester Model 100. It is just the regular model and not the carbine. I must say that this rifle is very clean and definitely hasn't been shot very much. I checked the serial # and it was made in 1962 it's my FIRST Pre-64 rifle :eek: I got this rifle from a guy...

Today I stopped by the local gun shop just to chat with the owner and kill a little bit of time...wrong move LOL. I was looking around and saw a nice looking wood stock with hinged floor plate high on the shelf behind the counter. Curiously I asked what rifle it was and it was a rifle he just...

Today was my second day of deer hunting EVER and it was a sucessful one. I start my day at 4:00 am this morning getting a shower (scent free soap) and getting dressed in all my camo attire. I make the drive over to my mentors hunting spot where he is meeting me I get there a little early so I'm...

This morning was my first day to ever deer hunt. Here is my story: Myself and my "mentor" Brett were out at his hunting place about 5:10 this morning. We cross the gate to the hunting spot and walk about 1/2 mile to the shooting house and by 5:30 we were in the house waiting on daylight. It was...

This Friday I hope to be deer hunting for the first time. I've gotten a lot of tips and advice from this forum, but is there any last minute tips or equipment I need to carry so I'll be as prepared as I can be. I will not be hunting alone I will have an experienced hunter with me. I've got my...

So I'm getting a fairly large bonus at work in a few weeks and I want another deer rifle. I already have a .270 Win, 30-06 and my wife has a .243. I have decided that I definitely want a 24" barrel and a caliber larger than a .243 but smaller than a .270 and .30-06. This rifle will be a deer...
