Nice looking rifles everyone.
A few questions.
Does Titan make sling swivels in 1in only or also 1.25in?
Does Ruger produce a synthetic stock for southpaws? ( GSR 308)
Someone mentioned stainless steel mags for the GSR?
Where can one find theses ss mags?
Im looking for another GSR , and...
According to FN, the fnar should be sent to them for "Servicing" every 1000rds at the owners expense. ( Sounds more like a pampered range toy to me)
Spare mags at 66 bucks each? ( ridiculous)
Rifle weighs out at just under 8 lbs without mag or optic. No iron sights, so optic is a must have...
Hogs are the worst where I frequent. Reasons have already been covered here already. Shoot them on sight. I would help, but am currently too busy hunting them in my neck of the woods
Bexar:
LRB ARMS puts out a very good quality M14S. ( This is where I bought my bbl for concerning my custom built rifle)
My LRB M14SA was built by them using the same tube, and shoots as well as my M14S custom tanker while optics are utilized.
If your plan is to use optics exclusively, you...
No problems here with any type of ammo in any weather conditions or at any altitude so far. The M14S will fire anything. ( softpoint hunting ammo too include 180gr, milsurp 7.62, steel cased fodder, and subsonic handload to name a few.
Currently working up a load for the M14S/ Leupold vx1 hog...
I think you made the right call with that particular rifle grunt. You might even consider one of those fake selector switches to finish off the DMR appeal, as yours is the spitting image of Uncle Sam' s version. ( Nice looking rifle brother)
I filled my selector lever holes in as the M14S wasnt...
I'm humping right at 10.5 lbs with M14S set up to shoot. ( Rifle with web sling, one 20rd mag full of 168gr OTM, Leupold VX1 1-4×20mm hog scope and rings)
The rifle itself is capable of more precision then I can utilize from most field positions, and simply find it the more useful rifle\Optic...
Which rifle do you prefer to hunt with grunt?
In TX, your gtg with FMJ while after hogs or white tail deer. Same with match bullets.
I love hunting in WY as well, although my bison hunt wasnt all that exciting. 165gr game king bullets do the trick on um however.
And yes, the kids at FED and...
Pic below shows exit wound via 165gr sierra game king thru the M14S. Distance was inside 300 yards.
This pig didn't go anywhere after being hit.....needless to say.
The 168gr OTM is a very consistent hog slayer, despite it's match bullet. I have shot around 100 or so hogs with this bullet as well as a few deer, and it delivers decent terminal performance on both critters. It typically exits the far side with an exit wound . My M14S sports a Criterion tube...
All hogs should be shot on sight in TX at the very least. 20rd mags of 308 or 7.62x51mm do just fine for dumpin them critters. M14S with surplus FMJ did the trick below pic. ( South African 146gr and Malaysian 150gr ball)
