I built 6.5 Grendel ar15 platform for this season. Anyone else decided it was time to upgrade or just wanted a new gun?

You need a gun in that pen?

Just have the help rope the one you want.

Not for deer season (I only bow hunt whitetails). But I just put this little combo together for Elk next year.

Savage FLCSS Weather Warrior in 7mag


Vortex Viper PST II FFP 5 x 25-50

Just bought a stainless tikka left hand 308 last night on a whim. Been wanting it for a while.

Also placed my order for a manners EHT 100% carbon fiber stock in their elite webb dark grey. 6 month lead time is going to bite but I get to play with loads until then.

For now a 3x9 vx3 I've had sitting around will sit atop it in a DNZ one piece. That will be changed eventually for a swaro most likely.


I'm really hoping somewhere will thread the 308 with a 1/2-28 thread so that I can put my ASR muzzle break and utilize my omega on it as well. I think I would like to cut and crown at 20" but don't want to mess up a good thing with the factory crown at 22" so I'm at a loss for what to do.

Paging Carson will Bowies thread my 308 lite tikka barrel with 1/2-28??

Your jealousy is showing. You should tighten it up some.

literally almost did the exact same thing before buying my Fix. was planning on a Tikka CTR in 308 with CDI bottom metal and Manners Elite tactical in Midnight (pretty grey color).

Nice gun. Do you shoot left handed?

Picked up a Bergara B-14 HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor yesterday.

(Not my rifle in the pic, but it's the same one.)

You shouldn't spread fake news like that. It isn't becoming.

Browning Medallion X Bolt 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm pretty excited about this one. On a side note, my scope was delivered to the wrong address and the jackass who received it wouldn't fess up. Optics Planet covers packages 100%

Here's the crazy thing for me. I am left handed but shoot right handed hunting and playing golf. Everything else is lefty
