oh I keep my distance and act like I am approaching a homicidal drug addict for an arrest. lol.

I still got to finish my 260 build before I even think of anything else. but I would like something in an ar-15 platform that I could use to take deer at 100-200 yards with a well placed shot. Grendel is winning in that race. I think 22 nosler while having some ballistic improvement over .223, I don't really think it has created the nitch in the market it needed to in order to stick around. While creating greater velocities, 22 nosler doesn't change the game compared to .223 in the way of bullets as I know people that have loaded 77gr bullets in .223. The case of the valkryrie sets itself apart by allowing for longer .22 cal bullets with greater weight for more energy and greater bc. So I can't wait to see if it stands up to the hype and how it compares to the 6.5 Grendel.

Lol. I actually just shot at him with one of my 9mms. don't think I hit him, he was running and a good 20 yards in the dark. but I figured I would let him know I mean business. lol.

well black bears are a lot like coons. they go through garbage, are very curious, playful, like shiny things, and can be pretty funny. I have been having a problem with a skunk that seems to think he belongs on my deck. can't get a shot at him without it exiting and then going into my house or car... so I am taming him and turning him into a guard skunk.

I would like to get one that is weighted for throwing, also need a good set of throwing knifes. have a few beers, go play cricket with the buddies, not with darts, but throwing knives. hehe.

idk, I got some pretty big raccoons around me. everything is bigger in the north. I have been having deer as close as 20ft to my house lately, I don't feed them, they just like my nice grass, but they best be careful I don't have a rifle within reach one of these days

to bad you got the wrong lens out for this boy.

My agency wants us to wear our badges when we carry off duty, but policy states we have to conceal carry. so the only time I open carry is at home. somewhere I have a picture of my tomahawk on my duty belt. haha.

lol. not saying I would hunt bear with a .22 cal or even a .243 cal. Just stating what Wisconsin's laws are. for that matter, I would never go deer hunting with .223 either because even with the best hunting bullet, the longest shot I think the caliber has the energy to humanely take down a deer, with a well placed shot, is 50 yards. according to the little I have read of .224, it has a lot more energy that might give me the confidence to use it as a short range hunting rifle if it has a respectable bullet that can cause a nice wound. Yeah survival, I was thinking the same thing about barrel life with this one, seems a lot of the newer calibers seem to follow that trend as they are trying to use longer/slimmer bullets with as much case capacity as possible. A lot of nosler's calibers have the same problem.

In Wisconsin you can deer, wolf, and black bear hunt with .22 Cal as long as it isn't rimfire. and if it has the energy it says it will, then it should be a nice close to medium range hunting round. problem is I have only found target bullets that would work for .224 valkryie, no hunting bullets.

Liberals: "the guns made the knives and fists do it"

Yeah... I might be a little fanatical. lol. but I don't think you can really beat the performance of a CZ for its price. are there better pistols out there? hell yeah, but you're gonna be paying more. And plenty of upgrades for CZs too. Come on up, I'll let you shoot mine if you bring the ammo. :P

If shepp is like most other Wisconsinites, he drinks cheap beer out of a can. lol

But the law says weed is bad!

Yeah and I like the look with that better. idk about feel though.

I don't get out much, so I don't know these things. lol

I am interested to see some more data and how this caliber progresses. using 6.8 cases is a nice plus also.

Ok, thanks for the heads up because I have been thinking this will be my next pistol after finishing my build. I am usually a huge fan of thumb safeties for single action... but not sure I would need or want one in a striker fire. Probably something I would have to try out.

Did sig come up with a permanent fix for the problem yet?

Where can you sell kids? I would like to sell both mine so I can afford guns. lol. And welcome from Wisconsin #3

Notice the bong on the table to his left. lol

Yeah, that's what I was thinking also. And maybe I should have clarified. Robo is right. Proof and other carbon fiber barrels aren't really "lightweight" barrels, but are lighter in weight to steel barrels of same diameter and stiffness. A pencil barrel is lighter than the thicker contour carbon fiber barrels.

Yeah, why can't the internet just be used for what it was meant for... PORN.

I have a magazine some where's around here with a review on the XDE. I can find it for you if you like. All seemed to be very positive. I got to say, has me interested and would be basically just like my CZ75-SA except feel like an XD.

I would never want to take that thing outside for fear of beating it up and getting it dirty! lol
