I purposely avoided looking at this thread for days...scratch that...weeks....to avoid disappointment....but hey...its out of the garage and sounds like it's coughing and chugging like... before. But instead of 1 guy doing that now it takes 2 guys to do that....do I have that right? Must be a gubbmint job.

Well it'll make a nice Christmas present for the pre-rangers.....  when they retire or sumthin....

Just like that Mercedes commercial, little boy wakes up every Christmas and the driveway is empty. Fast forward he is in his 40’s & that Christmas morning of random there sits that bright & shiny vehicle of his dreams.....

I called them today and Mike said that they had not worked on SquareD yet, and would not get to it today.

Are you & this mechanic related? :popcorn:

I mean it is the Tuck so isn’t it like a law or unspoken rule that everyone is related or distant cousins or some such thing?

The Winchester 2.75 have a muzzle velocity of 1350 (I just looked at an old box)

Edit : & 1400 fps for the 3 inchers

Correct, I was thinking in terms of weight of the round & tissue damage.

If he has taken deer at 250-300 yards that’s quite a bit farther than I have heard before. If true pretty impressive as well. My last buck was 175 yards with rifled barrel & sabots, good scope. I was personally confident in the range but not sure how much farther I would have gone.

In my experience the deer fist has to be able to stand back up before it can run away.  Those sabots are heavy and have a ton of energy in them.  In my limited experience with them it generally knocks them off their feet.

This guy is one of the few that I would probably believe such a claim from.  He is a nearly 40 year old bachelor with but one hobby, and that is hunting.  He comes from a family of very serious hunters.  He is also a fellow engineer, so quit methodical.  I'm sure he has tested out to that range and ranges in between and charted bullet drop.

Now you have me wondering what the bullet drop is at 300 yards on one of those sabots. It’s been several years but thinking it was around 8-9” at 150 yards....

After the near break-in attempt a couple years ago where the wife waved a shotgun in his face and he didn't immediately turn and run I pulled out my stock of rifled slugs that I used to use for deer season.  Just about as accurate as you can be with a quick shot on any open sighted rifle but a much larger hole.  Model 1300 Winchester I have had since my 12th birthday.  If came as a "Turkey special" with an 18" barrel.

I’ve witnessed the carnage a 12ga sabot can do in a large bodied buck at close range. Most don’t run at all if you get shot placement right.

Charles, as much as I admire your logic about firing that first round & your future lawyer I’m not sure you are gaining anything by doing so.......

Kinda goes back to that training session I had with my young wife years ago when we only had one kid. Had an exposed hammer side by side 12ga in the master closet. A long hallway to the bedrooms & told her if someone broke in and came down the hallway to just point that down the hallway and pull the trigger. My thinking the OO buckshot loads would do their job. Of course her being pretty smart her next question is what do I do then? I said pull the other trigger & make sure he doesn’t get up.

Dead guys have a hard time telling their side of the story & when the police show up the only thing you tell them is “you feared for your life”.

Ya know I was just at my shop...stopped in the gun store quick to ask about said 870 that started this discussion. Somehow ended up leaving with another .270 Mauser. I blame you guys... another $200 I will never see again.

I have tube extensions on mine, I also keep a goose hunting belt (its what I call it anyhow, has waterfowl camo on it) and I can throw it on extremely quick as it has a single snap together buckle on it that goes around my waste. I don't think I'd want anymore weight on the gun itself than what the tube provides as if when you manipulate the loads or reload the gun is held up with one arm.

Well, I machined some parts. Shipped some parts, built a nifty little Christmas star from 3/16 round bar then painted it. Drove an hour to see my oldest play basketball, she did pretty well I might add.

Tomorrow I put lights on that star & hang it over our front porch. I will be picking up the new grill & bringing home too.

I might be calling you Norm. I have this bright idea of pulling the Pontiac out from the 73 gmc and throwing a 24v in it, then adding a flatbed. It saddens me to see that truck sitting there gathering dust. The call would pertain to advice on p-pumps. (I would rely on SquareD for info...but....)

You know Ken you’re chancing your squeaky clean new image with the Boss implying comments such as that above.....
Shawn, you think I should place him on notice???

You could, probably even send him an official letter if you wanted. Make a phone call and have a difficult conversation or better yet rent a billboard out his office window with the notice on it. In the end it wouldn’t really matter how you informed him because he’s most likely still too overwhelmed with grief and too much of his time is spent with Charles in group therapy cryin over Sq D

I’ve modified several saigas, part of the problem with them is that on certain ones the gas holes were drilled incorrectly. If you pull the adjustment out & look in there you should see (three holes if I recall correctly) on some when they were assembled only one hole is actually doing anything as they were misaligned causing low gas pressure. There are other mod kits out there to increase reliability as well.

The molot vepr 12’s were supposed to be an upgrade from the saigas but I never bought one or read any real world reviews on them.

Up until a couple years ago Indiana only allowed shotgun for deer (& some pistols chambered in rifle cartridges) needless to say I had a couple 12ga’s they were accurate at 150-175 yards. Good enough to bring down a large bodied deer. One was a bolt action mossberg with a 2 round box mag. The other was my beretta semi auto in 12ga both with rifled barrels lobbing Winchester 3” sabots. Just saying it’s pretty common in whitetail areas where you are limited in what you can shoot.

Back up, just had another thought. So if you’re inserting a slug let’s say from underneath on a half pump then the mag will be right in the way. I say that alone is a no go for me.....

My 2 cents, don’t fix what isn’t broken

It’s a solid proven weapon platform & now we’re gunna introduce a mag system by a company that isn’t what it used to be? Hmmmm

I have several 870’s so I’m standardized if I wanted a siaga I have a couple of those already but not my go to regardless

I’ve hunted with an 870 just about every game animal in the state of Indiana since I was around 12 years old with one & it’s familiar to say the least without me thinking. A year or so ago I took a tactical course that added quite a bit to my depth.

With all that said if you didn’t have an 870 already or 500 mossy and wanted one to then be different than the 5 million 870’s and parts available already I say go & buy one. Guessing inserting a slug would be no different or double pumping etc.....

Ken, even though you’re currently on cloud nine like a giddy 12 year old girl at her first school dance let me decode what Don just stated.

A) you’re still a bonehead albeit in his opinion moving up the ranks very slowly...

B) you’re still in his opinion a DOT who is capable of going off the rails at any minute, getting back together with the band & your gf H no less

C) obviously Don has a major trust issue with you

I have been into calculus and doting to the best of my ability.   At home the wife planned a trip to LA for Christmas so we can see all the burning. I than called. mikeL to see if he wanted a crack at my 75 mph pulse issue in my truck “yep” he said and “I’ll give ya a ride in my new hellcat”. So we are driving two cars to LA dropping the chev off than going south to some beach.

Ordered a replacement dog bed for said bad dog

Went to work knowing there was nothing to do but sit and get paid,
Lunch with manager to explain to him the financial reason work is slow,
Drove to campus and spent the night prepin for a calc final

Coffee Induced Early Morning Rant / US Embassy moving to Jerusalem
« on: December 07, 2017, 09:42:37 AM »
Ok, so anyone paying attention to this?

Couple things to note. First roughly 4 years for us to relocate an embassy. Second every Muslim is pissed & on defensive with commentators constantly saying this will result in blood etc etc.

But then you have Trump who is a negotiator. Everytime this guy gets his hands in anything it’s the end of the world at the start as he sets himself as far from the opposition as possible then works his way back to center gaining ground as he goes. I personally don’t think he has any intention of moving the embassy unless h me can gain enough ground and work a peace deal somehow in the process which I don’t anticipate. But moving that embassy appears to be a very big card we hold that no one else has used to their advantage yet.

Thoughts?

Most pig shots are 75-200 around here. I’d use an ACOG 4x with a reflex optic on top. Of course that’s a pretty pricey optic but it’s great for hunting all kinds of varmits with an AR. Both two and four legged.
