Wolfgang1952 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 AR500 Steal Target and Stand I haven’t bought anything gun related unless you count a couple of AR500 targets. A couple of weeks ago I bought my first a 12”x ½” target from Competition Target Systems. I liked so much I bought another one but this time I ordered a 16”x ½” plate. It came in today. So back to building a second target stand. This is my first target and stand, rebuilt from one tire to two tires. I’ll build another two tire stand for my 16” target.

EngrBob Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 My 6.8 SPC barrel and bolt arrived today. About 75% finished milling the lower so I should be able to get the lower together and be ready to assemble the upper when the handguard arrives next week. This should end up being fairly light, even with the 20" medium profile barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive always been interested in this caliber but I've never been at the range when anybody there was firing one and haven't been able to see it in action. Please keep us advised on what you think of the caliber once you get it up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most shots here in west Texas are 200-yards or less; however there are instances where a 300 yard shot presents itself. While the Grendel and the 308 are well within a few inches at 300 yards on the range I would like to consistently get within 2 inches before trying a shot at that range in the field. So, it will be a competition to see which groups best at 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been able to before but now that I'm retired I might have a chance. I was once told that you often have to hunt horseback for mulies when you're out around Sierra Blanca. Are deer the only thing you're hunting out that way or have you been able to go after other critters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of counties have Pronghorn but you need a special permit for them. Wild hogs are considered exotic and there is no season but you need to have a license (that was the primary reason for building the .338 Federal).
