   It's pretty rough round the action, more just to get an idea of the shape. Next step was to cut and shape some paulownia for the buttstock, it certainly works easier than the pine! 251261 251262...

   Next step was to mill a slot for the extractor and test fit it. 251216 That was all good so milled the old extractor off and tig'd this one in place. Also drilled and tapped the shotgun barrel...

   For anybody who has ever wanted functional night vision, but can't realistically go out and buy good Gen 2 or 3 gear, this might be for you, and it saves wasting money on junk digital or Gen 1 crap....

   I recently did a hike into Leitch's Hut with the Mrs and took a rifle along just in case. I knew there had been cullers in there for the last couple of months, but its a large area so figured there...

   I liked my 7.62x39 on goats and small deer out to 200m, with my current .357 I'm only comfortable out to 100m but it does work well on deer with XTP hollow points. Ultimately if I'm shooting lots...

   ^^This... I've been using x39 on goats for a while, nice, light, well mannered and no performance issues at all with average cheap expanding hunting bullets. The FMJ is OK for plinking but not...

   357mag works well on goats and smaller deer out of a rifle. I mainly used 158 grain soft points. As others have said keep it under 100, the cartridge impressed me out of a rifle. Noise is minimal...

   I have shot a lot of animals with the 7.62x39. Back in the days I had it in an AR, SKS, Mini-30 and still have a Ruger Ranch. It's my caliber of choice for anything inside 150m. The PU 123gr soft...

   357mag max load, 158gn Powder Coated lead flatpoint, will give you something a little over 1200fps according to Hogdon in an 18in rifle barrel. 16 in and 20 in about 100 something fps each way from...

    If you can access Chinese hollow point ammunition, there were cases of it back in 2019 it will do the business. I recall with sadness buying 1200 round wooden cases for $200.

    I have a ruger ranch in 7.62x39, great on deer and accurate enough even with the cheap chinese soft point ammo from gc. Was consistently hitting rabbits out to 200m when i was sighting in

    .357 will do out to 100 ok. Other option if you aren't shooting many goats is to buy some .308 ammo from Belmont. Some stuff is around $2 per round, perhaps cheaper if you buy in bulk. By the time...

    Mate uses 357 mag for wallabies and deer, but 200yds is a ways out. stick to 100m. FMJ all good for animals out to 200yds, aim for bone if you can, head shots better :thumbsup:
