What Gun Gear Did You Score Recently?

[RangeScout]

Picked up something new today and figured I’d start a thread for others to share too. Doesn’t have to be anything big — ammo, accessories, deals you found, trades you made — if it’s gun-related, post it up. What’d you find or buy recently?

 

[BuckDoeHunter]

Remington 700 Ultimate muzzleloader 50 cal. for a very good price, in the mail and will arrive shortly. Most likely, it will get converted to a smokeless muzzleloader of my dreams. I want to shoot some 1,000 yard matches with it but I have a long way to go before I do that. I know it may sound crazy but people are doing it now and with amazing accuracy.

I just got mine back from having it converted to a 45 cal. Same set up to start with.
Mine is shooting a 325 gr XLD at just over 3025 fps, so far, I have taken it out to 700 yards.

We have a heavy rabbit population. Been eating Carolyn's flowers since spring. Haver eliminated several already but the small young ones keep coming. A rifle is not feasible in a side by side which is my main source of transportation so ordered a Rough Rider .22cal 6 shot revolver with 16" barrel today. Should be quick and easy to shot out of both sides with it. With CRP cover on 3 sides they have an abundance of cover but come to the buildings for their eats. Didn't bother with a garden this year.

Revolver is working out good. Have a big Horned Owl that stops by at the top of the flag pole where he has good light all around. He has taken his share of the rabbits too.

Back on topic, Got a Rossi .17HMR for the bigger varmints.

Ground squirrels, beware!

Very few ground squirrels around any more. Thinking more along the line of the ground hog, skunk, etc. Would even take out a Bob Cat if one showed his face.

My experience with the HMR is that it's a bit light for anything much bigger than a cat. It will obviously kill groundhogs or raccoons, but it doesn't always kill them right then and there. That's why I prefer the 22 Mag. It just seems to hit a lot harder.

 

[chieffan]

Have a 22 Mag also that haven't sighted in yet. To many irons in the fire and when that tornado tore things up some it takes a lot longer to get back to near normal that it did to tear it up by far. Still have a 16X32 complete roof with steel laying upside down the hope to get rolled over Tuesday morning. Can't do anything with it upside down.

A friend did it for me as a retirement gift. He had done 5 other SML for me, and I told him that I wanted a shooter. And it defiantly is. I've taken it out to 700 and 800 yards.

.410 pump is on order. Should be in this week or the first of next. With UPS and Fed-X refusing shipping anything related to guns slowed things up a bit.

 

[Old Hickory]

I received my silencer a couple of days ago and tried it out on my 5.56 rifle yesterday. Am very happy!
I have been waiting for shipping info from Savage about by rifle return from their fix it shop and no info so today I left home for some important business and missed Fed X delivery of the rifle.

I recently bought this new Ruger American gen 2 Ranch 5.56 rifle and a gen 2 Vortex gen 2 Crossfire 2 Dead Hold 3X-9X scope. I also bought a new silencer for it. The rifle shoots great. I hated the attached comp on the barrel and had my gunsmith remove it. I then added the silencer. The Silencer Shop was great help getting me through to process of getting the silencer. My main reason for the silencer is to protect what hearing I have left and it works great. Wait time to own the silencer was only about 2 or 3 weeks.

 

[Spikedriver]

Didn't actually score anything new, but while going through boxes that had been stored upstairs at my Dad's house before he moved, I found one full of miscellaneous gun stuff. Random ammunition, shell holders, reloading trays, spent brass, a broken Lee turret press, a digital caliper, and several old reloading manuals. Trying to figure out exactly what's wrong with the press now. I'm not very experienced with reloading and never used a turret. I've got components to make about a thousand rounds of 9 and 223, i.suppise the turret could speed things up quite a bit...

 

[Old Hickory]

I bought 2 boxes of Rifle Line .223 ammo. I want to do some ammo comparison shooting.

 

[Old Hickory]

Ordered a Timney trigger for my Ruger 5.56 rifle.

 

[Marine63]

Bought a Savage 111 in 30-06 from an on line auction and it came in but haven't picked it up yet. It's probably 20 years old but looked to be well taken care of. I need to get a scope for it and some range time.

 

[Old Hickory]

My Timney trigger arrived today, is for my Ruger American Ranch gen 2 5.56 rifle.
