Re: The 'gun culture' and the rise of the AR-15...
What forearm is that in your picture? I have an M4 Lower that I am finished with now that needs an upper receiver. Strongly considering the 300 BO but many have said it is a waste of money because 5.56 is cheaper. You have me definitely reconsidering.

It has been a quite a few years ago, but my youngest daughter shot a 9 pt buck with a Marlin 1894 .44 mag. The load was a reduced power handload that was a 200 grain XTP running what I estimated to be 1500 fps and was about a 50 yard shot. He was DRT and never knew what hit him.

My experience with Jeff Ault with Munden's has been outstanding. He will turn the barrel and sight it in alone or you can get a package deal. The value of a gun that can literally shoot quarters can't be beat.
