  1. This is a BCM upper and lower with a 16” Enhanced Light Weight barrel, and a 13” MLOK rail. Other highlights: Radian ambi charging handle Radian 45deg safety lever Geiselle G2G trigger Magpull MBUS Pro flip-up sights Blue Force Gear two-point sling FDE Dura-Coat base finish (applied by me), with some dark green patterns in Krylon over the top for a “custom desert camo” finish (eh, it worked for me, and it’s durable :). Pictured case 3, 30-round PMAGs (FDE, not pictured) This was my carry around/coyote rifle for a while. Great rifle, has been 100% reliable. Balances very well with the ELW barrel, etc. And the Geiselle trigger is great. Has about 700-800 rounds of 55gr FMJ and a ~200 rounds of 75gr Hornadys through the rifle. Selling due to health care funding issues. Asking $850 $800 for everything, FTF in the West Valley area. Can send other pictures if anyone is interested; I realize the one included in the post is not the best.
  2. BTT for the new year. Happy new year, everyone!
  3. I know in-field bullet performance can be difficult to find sometimes when considering bulletin options, so I thought I’d share mine here. Hope it helps, or at least proves educational. About 6 years ago, I worked up a load in my 7mm-08 with the 160 NAB with RL17. Muzzle velocity is ~2725 from a 22” tikka t3. So, nothing crazy. I’ve been blessed to take three cow elk with this round, at distances from 180 to 340 yards. All three have only needed one shot, and I’ve recovered the bullet from two of them. In one case, the distance was 340, and the shot was quartering to me a fair amount. Bullet went in just past the onside shoulder, and ended up against the skin on the far side. Lots of lung damage, and the cow walked about 15-20 yards before collapsing. Perfect mushroom, and recovered weight was a little over 140 grains. This year, I shot a cow bedded at 313 yards. Her position meant I had to hold on the shoulder. Bullet went through the shoulder bone, and was found against the far side hide. Great mushroom, and weighed 144 grains. Velocity would have been about 2150 at impact. Cow got up and fell right back over, and stopped moving completely after about 30 seconds. I’ve attached pictures of the bullet from this elk below. I know a MV of 2725 is laughable these days, but figured someone might be able to extrapolate what the same bullet would do from their 7 RM or 7 PRC or whatever, at further range, given the data. Overall, this bullet has performed quite well for me. I know there’s a lot of bullet options out there these days. But maybe this can help narrow some choices.
  4. Used just a little. It’s nice, but I always appreciated my regular chronograph a little more. $75 FTF in the west valley. Can ship locally for another $5.

    WTS: 2lbs RL17

    Have a 5 lb container of RL17. Purchased in early 2022. Has been in my closet ever since. Only will use a pound or so a year going forward, so thought I’d open up 2 lbs for sale. You bring a suitable container, and I’ll bring a scale. Or you bring the scale too; all good. $60 FTF in the west valley area. Thanks!

  11. ***SOLD***Have two containers of H4350, one full, one partially used from. About 1.75 lbs total. Don’t have the rifle I needed these for anymore, so looking to rehome. About 3 years old, have been in my closet (air conditioned) the whole time. $60 FTF in the west valley. Thanks!

  14. ***SOLD PF***Bought this several years back when my kids were young. Put about 1,000 rounds through as I thought them to shoot. Now, they’re all grown up, so this doesn’t get used anymore. Has the original soft case, and the box (if I can find it). Rear sight insert actually broke, but kids always just used the sight body notch to center the front sight, and it worked well. So I never had it fixed by Ruger. $150 FTF in the west valley. Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
