I was in the market for a short range silent killer hunting rifle and this was my answer. I'm thinking right off the rip a rex silentium suppressor, new pistol grip, new stock and a 3-9x40 Leupold or Vortex. What would you do?
Finished a 12” 8.6 blkout build today. Came out better than I expected.
Remington 700 action
Faxon remage barrel
Timney hunter trigger
Arken SH4
Magpul Hunter lite
Dead Air Nomax 33
OK so I'm looking at doing my first 8.6BLK build. Most likely a bolt-gun. Looking around and watching all the stooptubers and all that crap, there is one question I've been unable to really find a satisfactory answer to;
If I'm reading everything right .... the 8.6BLK (subsonic):
SOOOOO ....... why is nearly every 8.6BLK build I see wearing a 1-8X, 1-10X, or even 3-18X or higher MAGNIFIED PRECISION SCOPE on top of it??
*this is Reddit, so at least 75% of any answers I get here are likely to be some variety of "that's stupid, and you're stupid for asking RAAAAAGGGEEE!!!" and that's fine, that's what makes Reddit what it is, but my thanks in advance to anyone who can help me understand this.
2.5 MOA at 100 yd (a little bit of that is me). The 300 gr subs they have on sale did exactly what I hoped for at the range this weekend. Would definitely try other offerings in the future.
Super excited to enter reloading (eventually) again now that I have a new platform to focus on.
I put this together off a FX7 barreled action. I am currently running a Q Porq Chop and recently bought some ammo off Callaway Ballistics (300 Gr HPBT subsonic).
Did I mess up by not buying a monolithic projectile munition? Advertised velocity for this round is below 1000 FPS, and after calling Hornady, they said it’s perfectly safe so long as velocity remains under 1200 FPS.
I wanted to try some commercial stuff first before settling on a concoction of my own reloading efforts.
I’m going camping with some friends, a good freind just bought 120 acres in east Texas. I need to throw a site on my 8.6blk…. We are just going to be horsing around, not hunting. Taking subs and supers. I kind of want to see if an acog will work… or supers to subs is too much adjustment range. It’s pretty brushy mostly under 150 yards I’m guessing.
Thanks for any thoughts.
So I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews. Im about to have a DB 10 8.6. with a 1:3 twist and 12" barrel. That's an AR-10 style 8.6 if you didn't know. I've heard of rounds clipping the ends of certain suppressors. I'll be running heavy grain subsonic rounds only. What's the most quiet and safest for not tagging the supressor on the way out? Also not trying to break the bank.
