Roughly 10 days a year here. Strictly deer & almost exclusively whitetail deer. Probably 8 days archery & 2 days rifle huniting on average . In the event I fill my Archery deer tag early I am generally bummed to wrap up that season early. Rifle hunting has been mostly a meat hunt for me over the...

When I was opting to go 20 VarTarg, A number of guys were encouraging me to look in to the 20 Practical or 20 Tactical. with these 3 in mind I would say the Practical is the EZ button. sounds like you only need to decide on bullet weight & barrel twist. I'd recommend a 10 or a 11 twist to allow...

Carbon defiant 34 here for me. Expect there are others as good or better out there. Can't afford to try them all & fortunately I do not have to as I am extremely satisfied w the CD34.

With the digital calipers Id anticipate a much higher cost. If you are wanting a durable digital caliper, be looking for IP 67 / coolant proof.

Suppose that is a factor I never put much stock in. I think more along the lines of QKE. My quick kill experience with calibers small & large is rated something on the order of how many seconds till last breath. With proper shot placement, seldom takes longer than 60 seconds after impact. 6mm...

Suppose the same could be said about less meat loss if you shot the Barnes tsx, from the 25 caliber offerings.

Too much, No! more than enough, Most likely so! Too much recoil for you & others? perhaps. 80 mm is more than enough, I am guessing you can achieve your intended goals with less. I am a big believer in the notion that frequently, less is more!

6mm Arc has not been out there for very long in the big picture. Yet I am interested how this chambering is being received as a deer hunting option. I have been utilizing the cartridge in a 22" barrel CZ 527 for 3 years now. Five deer taken from 100 yards to 254 yards with none traveling over 80...

Perhaps some threads shouldn't die:) What's your preferred bullet in a 1 in 9 twist 223 these days?

I was looking at current pricing on new CZ600 in 223 & expect they may have a good thing going. https://gunprime.com/products/cz-usa-600-alpha-223-24-threaded-barrel-07401 Sure wish the barrel swap, would have been a more viable option on the 600. then you are currently at the mercy of what CZ...

This rifle would not like it that far north:)

Made it too difficult to resist. Ill take her off your hands. PM sent

Rather difficult to resist

Caliber dependent as it comes in mini short & long action with a proportionate length depending on the aplication.

6mm has been my favorite caliber for deer hunting over the years. 6mm Remington w 100 grain spire points. More recently a CZ527 bolt action, 6mm ARC has been my go to deer rifle for the last 3 years.
