Hello gang.
Just a note to say I havent forgotten yall
, I have been able to go out and shoot a total of about 40 rounds thru my rifle, all those being 100 gr round nose factory rounds so far. No reloads as of yet. Jury is still out on the accuracy.
I was able to draw first blood this past weekend :evil: , I had gone out yote calling Sunday, the wind was up a good bit and saw no yotes but did have 2 beavers somehow get it the cross hairs of the 243 and lets just say their worries are over One was standing up at their beaver house and i put the cross hairs center mass at about 50 yards out and he did a backflip and then off into the water. The other one I got a good head shot on him as he was swimming back to his house.
Im a little concerned about the clearance of the charging handle and the back of the scope, there's just not a lot of room there to rack the handle back, especially since the release tab is on the left side of the handle and Im right handed. Any options out there to change this handle over to something else or just what?
I walked a good bit Sunday and dont mind telling you this AR got heavy pretty quickly in its stock form. Is this just the way its going to be or are there some options out there for me to shed some weight on this critter?
As always, I appreciate your input!!
