    Howa 1500 Mini - 6.5 Grendel

    Yes sir. Thank you. Yeah that 6mm ARC is pretty tempting. I just built a really nice ARC for my ranch manager. (6.5 Grendel on top, 6 ARC on the bottom) They do make that Howa mini in 6 ARC. I may buy the non carbon fiber barrel action for a 6 ARC build, as my next gun project. I have 4...

    Optic for FE x Henry 45-70

    I have had an Eotech, Trijicon RMR, Aimpoint PRO and a Delta Point Pro on my Henry X. I like the Trijicon the best, Delta Point pro, then Eotech or Aimpoint. All of them did the job, but you really need a cheek riser for any of them.

    Howa 1500 Mini - 6.5 Grendel

    Shot another few groups today. This is my best 3 shots group to date with this gun. 3 shots, didn’t measure it, but I’m pretty happy. But, it’s finicky. If you don’t hold it perfectly, you won’t get good groups. Like any light rifle, it just won’t shoot right if your grip is inconsistent. I...

    Plains Game Ammo

    I have 14 African safaris so far and attended another dozen or so with others. This doesn’t count the trips to the other 4 continents. About half my African trips I borrowed rifles. For these guns I was given bullets that I would never consider taking to Africa. If you posted a thread asking if...
