DEER HUNTER

I just realized there's a trigger category on the forum, ooops.

I put 2 SSA-E triggers in my AP4 .308 and 6.5 Grendel and 2 G2S in my DPMS classic 20" .308 and AR15 5.56. Took them out for a spin yesterday and they made a big difference. One word comes to mind, "Fantastic".

Welcome

Very unfortunate.

I've heard the CWD is terrible.

In Georgia we can take 2 bucks and 10 does and in truth I've never 2nd guessed that. But this year I've noticed the does were far and few in between. There is a buck only time during December but I'm thinking 10 does are to many to take per hunter. I've shot 3 deer this year and my freezers full however I'm trying to shoot one more for my parents.

Its been a bumper crop of Bucks this year where I live but I've noticed I haven't seen as many does.

Welcome from GA.

I'm waiting on 4 Geiselles (2 SSA E's & GS2's) I bought on Black Friday sale from Primary Arms to go in my AR's. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they run in my rifles. The Timney trigger made a tremendous improvement in my 700.

511 Left hand set at about 3-4 lbs.

I was on the fence about buying one of their uppers before I bought the AP4. I was told that I needed to buy their lower to go with it because they had a fitment issue on other Manufactured lowers.

I know it's not what it was prior to Sandy Hook but its not bad compared to 2013. Although powder seems hard to come by. I've had no problem as of late buying 6,5 Grendel, 308 or 30.06.

Only one I've had any issues with was my .30 carbine which peppers my face with powder burn every time I pull the trigger.

You're absolutely right but now things are different. One thing I learned in 2012-13 was to buy ammo when there was plenty, not when things go south.

I vote 30.06 because I own one and because of the availability of many different bullets.

Yeah he wasn't real happy with me.

He's not as good as my other one I posted but he's a much bigger bodied deer. I shot him while chasing a doe and hit him a little further back then I wanted but that's what happens when hunting in a swamp where the trees are 2' apart. I've been hunting with my new AP4 but have had no luck so I took out my Remington 700 30.06 with new timney trigger and bingo.

I was afaid of that. Oh well if that's what it takes.

Who makes the best/reasonably priced ambidextrous charging handle?

I agree, I knew when I bought this rifle the range would be limited for ethical kills. I was just curious what kind of experience everyone else had with the AP4. Thanks for everyone's input.

Meat in the freezer, good job.

I'm a lefty to and i've never had a problem with any AR either but they all had deflectors. I'd buy something else with a deflector or you'll be pelted with hot brass. just my two cents.

I'm not to 800 yet, but I'm working on it. I need a different scope for that.

No I'm talking just reaching the distance accurately, best shot on deer for me with the Grendel has been 425, 600 on paper. Although I've read about guys taking deer further then that.

I think the 18" is a better choice for distance shooting but I like the way the AP4 handles, especially in my tree stands. Its a good 2.5lbs lighter then my 20" model and just much easier to maneuver in confined spaces. But its still a .308.
