Any Gun owners out there?

This ended up on my wish list after messing with a friend's chambered in 308. I'm laying low for it chambered in 243 Winchester. It's also available in 6.5 Creedmoor,

Ruger Precision bolt action rifle.

And how would you be using this?

Pretty sure he'll use it to remove them stubborn ticks

I'm sure he is the outdoors-ey type that can pick them up.
Gots to be sure to obliterate them buggers

In .243? My guess is hunting medium sized game. Or target practice.

Been buying .22 ammo every chance I get. Stuff's going to dry up crazy this fall.

I also had to send my 22/45 back to Ruger for some repair. Hopefully I'll get it back in a couple weeks....but since they're apparently doing it for free, I won't be mad if it takes longer. I bought the gun used a few years back...and it's about 10 years old by my best guess.

.22 ammo already out everywhere.. Even Walmart! WHY is .22 disappearing?! It can barely do its job..

The political events of the last few years have introduced a ton of new people to the hobby. And then they get their wives into it as well, and .22 is a good starting place for them. The downside is demand is insane.

Combined with the fact that you get a bunch of old retired guys with all the free time in the world who camp out at the gun stores to buy up all the .22. They've got pallets of it at home. I guess they're planning to eventually take on the US military with the weakest commercial round available?

.22 is got to be the most popular caliber ever made. Can find one in almost every household in the South. When the zombie apocalypse starts it is one of the main guns I'm packing. Should be able to find ammo in every house.

For the pesky squirrels when they start taunting you.

Talked with my son today, and asked him how many guns he has now....
I knew that he has about 6 of mine, never fired them in the last 25 years, so gave them to him.
Seems he has added on one or two, I lost count after he got to 25 :eek:

I've been meaning to pull all mine out and take a group picture. Think I'll have to put them all on the floor to have room.

I love long range paper punching. I had a sweet Remington years ago and foolishly sold it off. It was chambered in 243 Winchester. It's a very hot flat shooting round that I absolutely fell in love with. It's a varmit round but I'm not into killing things anymore. To drop something to eat is way in my scope of things to do but I'm no sports killer.

Watching vids about the Ruger Precision 243 putting rounds on target at 1,100 yards got me excited.
I only have an 800 yard playground but that should be fun. I haven't been this excited about a gun since I bought my EDC a few years back.

Jfalls63 · May 4, 2016

I never had steady hands for long range. Most of my hunting shots could just as easily be measured in feet, under 60 yards in the river swamp. I'm happy to get a three shot group in two inches at 100yrds. Cured and smoked wild hog is mighty tasty.

olbriar · May 4, 2016

Well that's the fun in it... The gun is far more accurate than the shooter. Trying to squeeze off that shot is all on you. You try to get better with each shot and each time to the range. It's not for everyone but I love the challenge.

Some days it's a hog super highway. Others just squirrels. A can of sardines and a pack of crackers is all you need.

He got my attention when he mentioned cured and smoked wild hog!

Jfalls63 · May 4, 2016

Hams and back straps

olbriar · May 4, 2016

I'm impressed with the smoker as well! I use a Traeger pellet... what am I looking at?

@olbriar , here is a view from my island where you can reach out and touch something with that spiffy 243.

Looks like the real deal. You should join us sometime over in the grillin thread and brag that bad boy up. http://androidforums.com/threads/summer-time-is-grillin-time.555955/

That would be some serious fun for sure!

Got a fedex tracking # from Ruger. Looks like my 22/45 will be back tomorrow and in functioning condition
