    Duck Recipes

    Just like a dove. Season with Dale's overnight in a ziploc bag. Place a dab of cream cheese and a jalapeno in the middle. Wrap with bacon and cook on the grill.

    DPMS LR-308 trigger

    I've got the AP-4, and used the Armalite Two stage match in mine. Significant improvement. I know exactly what you're talking about with the factory trigger. Be careful about putting in the Rock River trigger if you plan on doing it yourself. DPMS told me that it would be a drop in, but it...

    Sierra Gameking Bullets

    Gamekings have always been and probably always will be my favorite bullet. I've bought all kinds and tried them out, but gamekings always seem to shoot best in my rifles. I've gone to a new approach here lately, and decided to pick one bullet, one rifle, shoot it all the time, and be...

    Hunting with silencers

    Illegal to hunt game animals in Texas with a suppressor. Perfectly legal for pigs and coyotes. LH3

    match bullets for huntin.....

    Sir, Before I knew better, I used 190 matchkings in my .308 for deer hunting. I shot a doe and a buck with them. Did it kill them? Yup. Would I do it again? Nope. Both were perfect heart shots at about 40 yards. Bullet burned a hole clean through them without expanding. Both deer...

    Trying a new powder....

    My best load for my .308 was using BR2's with RL-15. 44.5 gr and 165 Sierra Game Kings. Interesting about the Varget. I've switched from RL-15 to Varget recently due to problems I was having with POI shift and temperature with RL-15. Could have been something else, but seem to have had...

    Bullet Selection (.308)

    Very interesting post as I am going through the exact same thing right now. I've trimmed down my rifle collection and basically come to the decision that my .308 bolt gun will be my defacto do-all rifle. I mostly use it for deer, hogs, and coyotes as well, but I would also like to one day take...

    Clearing some rumors about SF soldiers habits - rifles

    We loaded our mags according to the TM just like RyanM posted. Leaders carried 1-2 all tracer mags for marking targets. Also works for MGs as well and redistributed the 4x1 linked to first 100 rds 9x1, 2nd 100 rds 5x1, and last 25 rds all tracer. Worked good enough for us. LH3

    Does anyone deer hunt with a 1x red dot ?

    I had an Optima sight on my 870 and zeroed it for slugs. Worked well and got one nice buck with it with a neck shot at about 40 yards. I've currently got a DPMS LR308 AP4 with an EOTech on it that will be my hog gun this fall. Haven't blooded it yet, but should be able to let you know how it...

    Happy Birthday to me- Which 7.62 Battle Rifle?

    I've got both an M1A and a DPMS LR308 AP4. Advantages and disadvantages for both. Here's my experiences so far: DPMS w/16" barrel out of the box outshoots my M1A, which has been bedded and has a heavy match barrel on it. DPMS however, has not been entirely reliable. On the positive side...

    Georgia Hog Huntin

    Might check out the web site for Fort Stewart. Last time I was there it was open to the public. Lots of hogs there, but it takes a while to get certified through hunt control. You might be able to email them and get all of the requirements knocked out ahead of time. I could probably look at...

    Hunting on cattle land

    +1 on talking to the landowner. I typically try to close gates to keep the cows out of an area I'll be hunting hard on my own ranch. This is mainly because ours are curious and want to be fed, so they become a nuisance following me around everywhere I try to walk. Ours are accustomed to...

    Best Assault Rifle (Poll)

    My decision was based on having carried four of your choices in combat. Each have advantages and disadvantages, but I like the M14 best due to the bullet and reliability. Every little insurgent I've seen shot with an M14 sat down right there. Not always the case with the others. I know shot...

    Accuracy Question

    Okay, might be a powder issue after all, which is splendid since I've got about seven pounds of it laying around and 200 rounds loaded with it... Oh well. I'm going to try it out once it gets to 100 degrees and see if the pattern continues, which I'm pretty sure it will. Thanks again for all...

    Accuracy Question

    Thanks for the help. I'm beginning to lean most towards a bedding issue. It was done by my uncle who was a closet gunsmith and I inherited it from him after he passed away. He bedded all of his own weapons and although not the prettiest, the groups I'm shooting testify that he knew something...

    Accuracy Question

    Folks, Seeking a little input from the collective wisdom of the group. I have a .308 rem 700 bdl with 20 inch heavy barrel and synthetic stock. Rifle has been bedded. I have been shooting it religiously over the last six months to build my data book. My typical range is only 100 meters...

    Any Kimber Gold Combat II Owners???

    Just picked one up last week, actually. It was lightly used and had a new slide with an internal extractor. Put 472 rounds through it to break it in. Two FTFs within first 100 rounds, both from a MEC-GAR mag I had laying around. Quit using that magazine (others were wilsons and mccormicks)...

    AR-10 reliability questions.

    I've got a DPMS LR308 AP4. First off, accuracy has been rediculously good for a semi-auto carbine. It shoots Black Hills 168gr match at .4 to .5 MOA, five shot groups consistently. Little less than .75MOA with 165 gamekings. It flat outshoots my full-size M1A with heavy match barrel and...
