Owens Armory

Long range talk with Leland, carl, jimmy and myself. http://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-mmy5c-6d8838

Because the guys who love them are turning animals inside out under 600 yards shooting big magnums. the longer range shots on smaller game they blow right threw with not enough energy to do massive damage. but elk are thick enough skinned heavier boned the vids open. I'm am sold on using the eldx we have killed elk deer bears all with a 6.5 eldx all in the 700 yards plus the opens the way its suppose to every time. Got to find that happy medium between energy and bullet expansion! very strange you can't get eldx to group what is your load?

I'm sorry i just seen the high seated position the primos sticks are awesome

http://wiebad.mybigcommerce.com i carry wiebad bags or a short action custom rear bag on all my hunts. there light and just clip to my backpack same set up i compete with.

Got it done in Mexico with our new magnum hunter series rifle in 28 nosler

Save your money look into the gen new vortex viper they just came out with or a Burris Xtr both awesome scopes for the 1000 dollar range and both ffp. I would not trust dialing a Nikon up and down over and over

http://nationalrifleleague.org/owens-armory-sickness-distance-battle-royale/ Come test your skills and up your shooting abilities will be a great time and a chance to shoot with some of the best shooters in the country

The match won't be extremely physical and running around but will consist of moving and shooting different positions and won't be strictly a belly match... Awesome photo I love catching wild life photos when I get time I got a cannon 7d mk11 and 400mm cannon lens what are you running...

Yes we do Its hard to find a good smith to re-barrel these since the action threads are metric. Metric is no problem for us

Yes we do

I have been shooting prs matches since the first year and have traveled all over the country competing for 5 years now. I enjoy the sport and it all started out to be a better shot for hunting and I got hooked lol. But if any one just wants to be better in the feild you need to try a few of these matches you will be amazed how much better shooter you will become. We can all shoot off our bellys but when your in Mexico shooting off the side of a hill half standing half kneeling on a tripod you will be prepared to make those 500+ yard difficult shots and feel confident doing so

100 shooters $250 entry includes t-shirts lunches both days engraved yeti tumbler and some other stuff beer on Sunday at awards etc or any one is welcome to come watch or help

I know it's not hunting related but these matches can make any shooter hunter walk away with valuable practice hunting or hobby

This is a 2 day 200 round practical long range shooting rifle match various positional shots from rooftops ,barricades trees, prone etc targets from 300-1500 yards most targets being in the 400-1000 range. There will be a big prize table with a ton of huge name sponsors and some of the best shooters in the country competing. A calIber restriction of .30 and 3150fps.

Do you do bolt fluting ? We do strait flutes and send out for spiral flutes but yes we do fluting

Thank you Amanda and hope to do future work with other members!

Question for BeardAz: do you have the Gap reamer? I have both reamers

I enjoyed building it for you James and hope you enjoy it and look fwd to seeing what you kill with it

Funny thing is you guys are gonna argue but this is damage from energy not bullet expansion the energy alone would suck that dog inside out. I'm not hear to argue. A cm opens enough to do damage and a rum has enough energy to turn it to jello if you don't understand I can't help ya keep shooting the big guns and keep blowing deer in half its plenty effective

Im not arguing I would almost guarantee that is damage from energy and not bullet expansion what I'm saying is there is a happy medium!to were a ton of energy is gonna be devastating now take a 168 vld berger at half the energy it's gonna blow threw thin game animals but not have the energy to turn him to jello. You guys are not understanding what I'm saying there are two devastating ways to cause damage and that's energy and bullet expansion. And all I'm saying is you don't need a 300rum to kill deer at a 1000 yards. And no I'm not a cm poster boy I've been shooting long range and comps well before the cm owning and building rifles from 6mm to .408 and enjoy them all .. but a 6.5 thin jacketed bullet will open at lower velocity as we're the 7mm an 30s blow threw there ushally just isnt enough there to open them on deer and most small animals I've seen it over and over. Or shoot them fast enough with enough energy to turn them to jello

Even at 700ft pounds the eld x still fully opens I've seen it multiple times and recovered the bullets to prove.. most people love big heavy bullets and I've see it multiple times they just blow threw.I've shot a antelope at 1175 shooting 168vlds out of a 7saum and first shot blew right threw and 2nd followed. This is still with 1200 ft pounds energy of energy the bullets never opened now if it was bigger game heaveir cape etc the heavier jacketed bullets will open fine. But I believe there is a fine line between to heavy of a bullet on smaller game. To were they blow threw until you get to the 2500ft pound+ range were the bullet doesn't need to open the energy alone creates enough damage. I shot a coues buck this year in az at 700 yards with the 6.5 Creedmoor and literally dropped it in its tracks it never took one step the bullet opened flawless and it did its job. With that said I got back from Mexico last Sunday on Saturday I shot the biggest buck to date for me in the teens and I used a friend's 7saum I built him at 675 yards 2000ft pounds it was thick brush and he gave me a great shot I hit the deer and him jumped about 6' and looked to pile up in the brush in front of him after two hours of glassing for my buddy we went down there and all we could find was piles of dark blood I tracked it till I could not find blood and started circling kicking the buck out of a bed with no shot he blew out of there.. spending 6hours trying to put a kill on him. With that said Im confident the 7 was a threw shot. Ive watched buddy's dump deer 900+ with 6cm multiple times because the bullets just explode So I'm sorry I have to argue with you out of respect I've seen it multiple times and I would have zero problem shooting deer at 1000 and elk inside 600 with a cm obviously the faster you shoot the 6.5 bullet the better in saum or bigger etc

Absolutely not true we have killed two bears over a 1000 with 6 and 6.5Creedmoor And multiple deer close to it . It's all shot placement
