Re: Dot size

I have used a 3 moa, 6 moa, and 8 moa. Honestly the 6 moa is the only feature I liked of the Vortex Venom over the Burris Fastfire. I much prefer the Fastfire 3 over the Venom. Just my preference. May sound weird, but I match the size dot I use to the gun. If I’m using a 410 or 28, I will use the 8 ...

Absolutely......mine will go UPS ground with 1000 dollars of insurance. I will make sure it is covered and USPS has been notoriously unreliable here lately.

Re: New furniture to the 870 28ga

That's a complete opposite answer I got from Briley when I called them the other day. Seems some knows that it can be done and some are in the dark. Got in touch with Indian Creek and they said they want my barrel and they can make some 28 gauge remchokes. I think this is the direction I'm going. Sh...

Re: New furniture to the 870 28ga

Can't promise you anything, but I'm sure gonna try! Maybe the guys that want them need to call and show them that there is a demand for them. Might make them more willing to go to try and make a run of them.

Re: New furniture to the 870 28ga

I called Briley and they said that Mobil would be a no go. Said they would only do thin wall chokes. I'm gonna talk to Mike and Stuart at Indian Creek and try to get them to make a run of 28 gauge remchokes. I already have a wingmaster barrel threaded for 28 gauge remchokes. Just hope I can get Indi...

Re: Laminate stock color? Wanting opinions

Ok guys, found one more color. The vendor doesn't have this color in stock.....but would it be worth the wait over the others? The coffee is definitely going to be one I pick, this bone gray doesn't look bad either. What you guys think on this gray versus the other more natural wood tones?

Re: Laminate stock color? Wanting opinions

Thank you for the opinion! I appreciate it. I am almost certain I'm getting the coffee color, the 2 I can't decide on for the other rifle is between the birch and the woodland laminates. Still trying to decide. Hoping this topic will help me make my decision.

Laminate stock color? Wanting opinions

Guys, While sitting here in the woods and it is a lull, I'm thinking about 2 deer rifles that I am going to build before this upcoming deer season. They are Remington 700 SPS versions, so they have matte black bluing and matte black bolt handles. They come in factory black synthetic stocks, but I am...

Re: Winchester SXP Longbeard-20 gauge opinions

I've hunted w/ the SXP Long Beard since they first came out. I utilize a Carlson's .585 and a Vortex Venom w/ TSS hand loads. I prefer a tight 10" core w/ an even 20", which the back bored barrel provides. It's a shame that Winchester has produced such a fine turkey gun with so many nice ...

Guys, Looking really really hard at a Winchester SXP Longbeard 20 gauge turkey model shotgun in full Mossy Oak Obsession.

Re: Finished Another Little Thumper

They are great stocks in my experience. I have one on my 870 20 gauge and my 870 410. I have sets for my 28 gauge 870, and my 12 gauge 870, just haven't mounted those two yet. Different color laminate for each gauge. They are a little heavy, but I don't mind it when I'm shooting them. Lol. Weight he...

Yes. The 20 ga, 28 ga, and 410 bore all use the same buttstock. Same size receiver. The forends, however, are specific to each gauge.

Re: Hornady ML Bullets

I'm just like Icedturkes, Barnes in a muzzleloader in my opinion is where it is at. They sometimes do not shoot the absolute tightest group that you will possibly get out of of a frontstuffer, but their terminal performance is absolutely amazing. You will get a blood trail with these bullets. I real...
