I built an ar off their 458 upper. Finally got it to the range only to find it won't feed.
In fairness to them their email response time was only a couple days. They asked me to take a picture of the bolt as they suspected that was the problem. Must be a known issue. Haven't done it yet so...
As I think about it my friend I hunted with didn't bring his own rifle (I did). Since there were only 2 of us the master guide lent him his 375 ruger and usually stayed on the boat. From this standpoint it probably is more likely a 375 ruger rifle will come in a more "lendable" rifle, ie...
Just did a coastal brown bear hunt in SE Alaska. Was surprised to see 2 of the 3 guides had 375 ruger guide guns. Both with leupold 1-6x IR scopes. The third guide had a custom 375 H&H with irons.
Contrary to much of the Internet chatter, on the boat from which we hunted 375 ruger ammo was...
I can't speak highly enough of my Fulton armory m1 carbine. I had a ww2 parts carbine that would never consistently get through a magazine. Finally gave up in it and got one from Fulton. Its a fantastic little firearm.
The 375 ruger guide gun is more compact than any comparable h&h I've seen while maintaining the same or slightly better performance. This is the reason I bought it and I'm very glad I did so. I have yet to encounter a PH or guide who gives me grief about the muzzle brake. If I wanted something...
Good point Craigc. A couple hundred rounds of 375 ruger is potentially a lifetime's was worth.
I don't know where the term "junk" cartridge comes form. I can say I have successfully hunted and killed in South Africa a cape buffalo with a 375 h&h rifle. Nevertheless when I went looking for a...
I own a 375 ruger Alaskan. I don't reload. You are limited in ammo.
Nevertheless I am very happy with the firearm. It's durable, versatile, accurate, portable, relatively inexpensive and capable of taking all game in North America (and arguably Africa although a little light for elephant)...
Get a marlin in 35 Remington. Great round.
A 6.8 spc AR may also suit your needs but not necessarily more powerful than 30-30.
45-70 is one of my favorite hunting rounds but you will be limited in in ammo choice if you are recoil sensitive.
Like I am sure many on here I own a lot of ARs in multiple calibers.
Some guns I build with a piston. Some I don't. Each has it's merits.
Light weight, hunting and target builds don't get pistons. Most others do. I'm about 50/50 on both types. I have found the osprey to be the best drop...
I went on my first Cape buffalo hunt in South Africa last October. Not wanting to deal with the hassles of transport I borrowed a gun there. It was an fn 375 H&H bolt gun. All the PHs had side by sides. The recoil really wasn't bad. It performed well on the buffalo I was lucky enough to shoot...
Sorry if I missed this bit I did not see anyone mention the at least anecdotal superior feeding reliability of the 357 sig given its necked down structure.
I periodically use a spear for feral pigs when I hunt with dogs.
A large boar or even sow (180#) will take a long time to die while you have that spear in its vitals and it is not a friendly creature during that time. This is even with a good heart stick. The boar especially turn tusk at...
I've built several ARs up using bravo company uppers. All were 100% reliable.
I've put aftermarket pistons in a few (osprey) only because they are easier to clean.
For what you describe I would get a light or standard weight 14.5" upper with pinned flash hider from BCM and build your...
I generally like palmetto state armory. My last lower parts kit from them did ship with 3 missing parts. It was no big deal because I have a lot of extra AR small parts around. But it would have been terribly annoying if it was my first build.
I have found issues on some ARs if the bad lever screw is slightly long it will push the bho open away from the receiver causing it to catch the bolt.
A simple file ofa fraction of a millimeter on the screw length has worked well for me.
I own 2. An m6a3 in 6.8 and a 5.45 upper. Fit and finish are superb as is reliability.
My m6a3 is adequate but not the tack driver my other 3 or 4 ARs are.
I am not a fanboy but would certainly recommend them.
My favorite AR is a lightweight bcm carbine upper with an osprey defense...
It's the piston. With the bolt closed the op rod is keeping it held forward.
When the piston stops sliding back and forth with the bolt open it's time to clean it.
Sadlak industries makes the 2 specific hand held drills of optimal size for cleaning it.
