MONTANA308 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Any of you guys got a 458 socom or any of the other big bores in the AR thinking of building one here in the near future just not sure what one I should build. Looking for any info ya got.
Robocop1051 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 You could do a .45 ACP rifle build... Then have the barrel re-chambered to fire .460 Rowland!You could still plink with 45 ACP, and then hunt with the .460! Plus they use the same G3 magazines! <thumbsup>It's no where near as big as the 458, but it's still a big bore and a lot cheaper to shoot... My buddy had a 458, and he said it was abut $3 a round... When he could find it. The .458 Socom, the .450 Bush and the .50 Beo.... I have no idea where to find these anymore, aside from reloading.
98Z5V Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 ^^^ If you're looking for something like that, you need to get ahold of Marty at Teppo Jutsu. I don't know if he's still making them, but he did. Also, send a PM to member "bigbore" and see if he'll get into this thread - he has several.
MONTANA308 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Posted February 28, 2013 Ok thanks guys. The new cabin we got is in serious bear wolf and moutain lion country I was thinking why not build a heavy hitter
98Z5V Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Just carry 30rd mags loaded with some Mk262, and put in the S3G trigger. Put a whole mag in them before they have the time to roar, bark or fart. <laughs>
MONTANA308 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Posted February 28, 2013 Well ya I could do that, but got the bug to build more guns so why not
98Z5V Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 I'm talking 5.56 AR15, brother - 14.5" barrel, pinned extended hider/comp, short, manueverable, and still legal without a stamp. This would work:
Robocop1051 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Or even better... In 300Blk!!!220gr floating at 1000fps will roll anything with two or four legs.... And if you live in the right area, throw a can on there so you don't wake the old lady when you clear the front porch of unwanted visitors. <thumbsup>
BLKSHEEP Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Hypothetical Question for fun & opinions :threadjack:That 1200lb/10' tall Grizz pops out of the bush at 40yrds.He's pissed and can cover that distance in 2.9 seconds! Will you (a)trust a big bore AR not to ftf/fte? (b)Would you grab your 308AR with 20+ rounds of 168gr (2500ft.lbs @100yards) © Grab your 5.56 AR w/30+ rounds of 75gr (1200 ft.lbs @ 100) (d) 300 acc blkout w/125gr.(1100 lbs@100 yrds.? <munch> <munch>http://www.hornady.com/assets/files/ballistics/2013-Standard-Ballistics.pdfhttp://300aacblackout.com/resources/300-BLK.pdf

BLKSHEEP Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 If that giant 1,200lb sumbitch is that stealthy, that I didn't know he was 40 yards away, then I'm probably takin' a HUGE ass-whoopin'... <thumbsup> <laughs> You read about it hapening like that every year.....Did y'all see that write up a few years ago about a Forest Ranger in AK. that shot that monster Grizz while deer hunting,13' tall & 1400lbs , it took 7? good shots with a Rem.7MM MAG and the bear fell at his feet :ohttp://waterandwoods.net/2008/09/worlds-largest-grizzly-bear/
planeflyer21 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 If that giant 1,200lb sumbitch is that stealthy, that I didn't know he was 40 yards away, then I'm probably takin' a HUGE ass-whoopin'... <thumbsup>A couple of archers were hunting near Yellowstone, bugling for elk. One heard a stick crunch behind him and turned around to see the bear they'd called in and mauled them both.Animals take stealth to a whole different level.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOLlos6lmVUI'd go with the .450 Bushmaster, 9-shots over 2,700ft.lbs.If I was in bear country.Jon
MONTANA308 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Posted February 28, 2013 Ya was looking at 300 whisper/blackout something in a short barrel that I can throw in a pack thats half as heavy as my 308. The other half loves to hike. So we are always way up in the thick of it.
Robocop1051 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 A 7" AR pistol, in 300Blk, could be designed light enough to pack. A .500 S&W would be less cumbersome in a proper holster. Even the Freedom Arms .45-70 would be easier to carry. If you think a bear has snuck up on you, be observant to details. If this stealthy bear has a grey spot on the back of its head you're safe. It's just 98Z5V maintaining his honed skill set. The fact that you were ever made aware of his presence shows he wasn't there to get you. He'll likely finish out his naked nature run after drinking the beer in your cooler. A small price to pay after a brush with death.
MONTANA308 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Posted February 28, 2013 Ya we run into them all the time never had any close calls yet crossed fingers. I carry my xd 45 when we go. Just thinking a heavy hitter would be fun.

After that I would go to the bathroom and take a shower to get the crap off of my ass.I get scared by stuffed Kodiak bears hiding in closets !
unforgiven Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 ^^^^^ What brother Mike said <lmao> <laughs>

Well....I would hope to have my 12" AR-10 with me if this happened. That way I could unload up to all 20 rounds at that big ol bastard.........while running in the opposite direction screaming like a teenage girl.....of course. <lmao>
