FB67 Report post Posted August 16, 2014 This new stock just came in from Boyd's haven't bedded it yet but will shoot a few rounds this weekend for fun. I attached a pick of what it can do with the Houge overmold stock that was on it before. Hope it keeps performing the same way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FB67 Report post Posted August 16, 2014 With that group I never would have messed with it. More D I was thinking the same thing and put off changing it out just for that reason I have disassembled the gun numerous times and it always has shot spot on when I reassembled it . If it doesn't like the stock then back to the old one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike S Report post Posted August 23, 2014 Are you using the matchking for hunting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FB67 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 Are you using the matchking for hunting? I have shot feral hogs with the match kings with good results. I would not hesitate to use them hunting maybe not on a brown bear or a moose,but I would use them on elk or deer without hesitation. I know it is not recommended but there are lot of guys using them with great results. Luckily Sptizer shoot under a inch out of this rifle also so I could go that route if I needed to.

Mike S Report post Posted August 24, 2014 I wasn't going to lecture you. I used to use matchkings on whitetails out of my .300 Win mag because they shot 1/2MOA. I did find them explosive and would only recommend them for clean broadside chest shots at the speed and RPM the 1 in 10 twist .300 gave them. How did they do on the hogs at .308 velocities?

Shot two hogs both over 200 pounds and the bullet did fragment a bit but dropped them in their tracks. The range was right at 100 yards. Velocity with a 20 inch barrel just over 2500 fps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
