Welcome from western Wisconsin!

I carry a glock daily and the only thing I like about it is you can abuse it in ways I would never abuse a gun I like. it's like that fall back girl that you call up when you don't pick up a decent girl at the bar and then you just kick her out right after business is over.

Good luck and welcome!

I have nothing but good experiences with Midway USA and Brownells, the two places I look first for everything. And with your issue with PTG, I would of laid into them over the phone until I got someone to get me what I ordered in a reasonable time or refund my money with no 15% charge. There has been times I have had to go through 8 managers till I got what I wanted. Basically just say, "can you get me what I want?... no, then transfer me to your boss." Pretty stupid to pay a restocking fee when they supposedly don't have it even in stock. lol.

I hear it is easier to shoot these with a short barrel

It's wash... he basically does what he wants. lol

which one of you guys had to much time on your hands?

Thanks a lot. I put 30 rounds in my monitor because I had a flashback of camel spiders from overseas. Those fvckers are no joke!

Is the Elf-SE trigger a single stage?

I'll be a taste tester. do I have to wear my vest and helmet to eat it after I slice it with my kabar?

When I was in the academy, we had about a dozen pair that the zippers broke on and we only had 38 cadets. not good odds. and like you seemed to have noticed, they aren't real good with their customer service anymore since they haven gotten so big. I will say, they are some of the most comfortable boots I have worn, but not worth the money if you ask me.

Don't go 5.11 with side zipper, they constantly break. It's what they issue the state patrol and the side zippers are crap. honestly, I think 5.11 has gone down hill since they have gain popularity. I bought some cheap $60 boots off Galls.com and I have been wearing them almost every day for duty for the past year and a half with no issues.

That's not horrible, I would consider it midgrade glass. Heck most of my rifles have $200 scopes or cheaper on them... I'm really bad about selling for cheap glass. lol.

Beautiful rifle, problems or not, you have something to be proud of.

I have more respect for the 4-legged variety than most 2 legged vermin. if I have to shoot a 2 legged one and it walks away injured, I don't worry about how long it takes to die because it deserved to get shot. 4-legged ones I like to have quick kills on and I also worry about damaging the meat. I have taken white tails at 320 yards before with my .308, but I don't shoot enough to see me confident in shooting one farther than that. I have only ever had one deer get away after being shot, but one was to many. Also, I have never taken a range finder into the woods with me. Maybe if I did I would be more confident at those shots, but I can't even think of when I have seen a deer stand still in the rut. Most of the deer I have shot were either running or at a fast trot, and the rest were walking.

yeah I know a high bc bullet is best for longer ranges, but that's where plinking steel comes into play. I love shooting target at around 600 yards, though I would never take a shot on an animal at that distance. I would love to review this caliber for you guys... but hard to find any information at all on the .224 valkryie. http://6mmar.com/224_AR.html The .224 AR on the other hands, has die sets and load information out there for it. The difference being it uses a 6.5 Grendel case instead of a 6.8 SPC case. So, correct me if I am wrong, the .224 AR should give the same 90gr bullets a slight higher velocity because of greater case capacity due to the Grendel case being slightly wider than the 6.8 spc case. This of coarse assuming the necks both taper at about the same length. Problem being is there is so little info on there on them, although seems to be more for the .224 AR.

I have no doubt that 25-45, 300blk, and 6.8 spc can take deer beyond 100 yards with the right load... but I am a bit of a high bc whore. lol. I like those high bc bullets (and calibers that can use them). And sadly, not many calibers that will fit a standard at-15 platform have the case shape for these long slim high bc bullets.

a couple of years ago, I lost a big buck that I had a clean lung shot on using 90 gr .243 win rounds. Deer was on its back but got up and walked away. 3 hours of tracking and nothing. Now I have taken over a half a dozen other deer with that same rifle and bullet, but because of that one time, I like to go with as much energy as possible.

I prefer my bacon greasy and soft... this looks to healthy. lol

I just took out a big opossum with my pistol. tried to get him off the porch before I shot him, but he kept attacking the broom. he was a lot dumber than the skunk. and with how mean he was, I decided to risk the bullet exiting and going into my deck. still got to remove him. lol.
