MULEPACKHUNTER

seems like the used market is slow to me, ive had my tracker for sale for several months with zero interest. Rifles are not moving well either, at least on the high end stuff.

Ok everyone who is brave enough to venture into this new sub forum, here is the challenge, Every Monday starting on the 18th we "WILL" list quickly and briefly our accomplishments for the past week on this post. No excuses allowed only plans to overcome. Remember even if all you could muster was walking the dog around the block that is absolutely better than watching a tv show, it will lift yours and your dogs spirit and raise your heart rate. Good luck.

I have access to LE trade ins for good prices. mhughes@aarkmachine.com

The advertising for matches is really bad. I’m at Ben Avery every week, I’m on practiscore, check PRs and nrl websites often and didn’t hear about nrl at Ben Avery. Rio is 100 mile track for me.

Rio salado I think the 23rd Sunday match out to 350.

Still havnt played with the tuner but got my dope all set. Stretched her out to 400 on steel with much success and alot of clicks.

Here’s the first few shots out of it at 100 yrds. Testing ammo. Solid steady wind down range and to the right. Didn’t mess with the tuner on this run.

Barrel tuner, never used one but hear and have seen evidence of them tweaking a good group into a great one. Some F class and Bench guys use them. Was making the brake anyway so with 22lr ammo being non reloadable i figured maybe i could tweak a load with the tuner. The collar on the outside is threaded to the outside of the brake so it turns and runs up the barrel changing the harmonics in theory. Like the old rubber rings they used to put on middle of the barrel

I have a Faxxon brand new short with 308 face, integrated lug and rail very beefy. 700.00

Still up for sale

Thought I would point out a few relevant items we came across at this year show. Athlon optics is coming out with a Garmin clone chrono in April for 350.00 Leupold is doing a rangefinder that will drop a pin of the ranged object in to your mapping software. outlier rifles has the craziest new design I’ve ever seen and new trend in barrel design with a locking collet style barrel tension. Seekins is similar as well as cadex. there are a bunch of new optics options hitting out of Japan. I’m testing currently on several. Athlon, Riton, tract, apex. sky is the limit on suppressors with way more than I can count Yankee Hill has amazing shotgun suppressors, dead air, huxwrx is amazing, annochoic has some solid tech and even now Dillon Aero has an all new design venting on the outside of the can and a 50cal version. MDT has a new bipod lighter than the groundpod called backcountry and mountain pods around 6 oz or under

The sales guys said it had zero dropped shots of course but if you know the Garmin my guess is it’s exact same internals. The outside is so close you can confuse them. I have the garmin and it’s outstanding.

Talked to federal engineer (not salesman) at Shot as well as RCBS and Seekins rifles. Very interesting, rcbs will have dies soon (neck size ) and Seekins is swapping their entire rifle line over to new design bolt and action for these types of cartridges. The new Seekins is really cool 3 lug 60 degree throw. Easy barrel swap design. I believe tool less takedown on bolt. the cases don’t show movement in the body after firing so neck size is all that’s needed. (No data on case life) round prefers a 5 groove bore at 1:8 Less powder is expected to equate to decent barrel life ammo is now available ( recieved 20 boxes 175 terminal)msrp 59.99 Even more fun, 338 ARC

Thanks for the info, my roof is perfect for 20 years so not sure why they suck. Great insulation. I’m doing ac units before summer and need repair after the fact and a full recoat of paint. Just have been through 4 big companies who are terrible service so I refuse to work with them. I’ll try this one.

Shot Show Bump

Red Hawk Rifles has proof carbon 7mm blanks on sale for 599.00 limited qty.

Ya fun stuff either way. I’m ready if it takes off and guys want chambers.

Ya just built over time, gifts and inherited. It’s a problem.

Ok so go shoot your hunting rifle 47 shots and tell me what your SD is. All barrels move as you shoot them. Allterra rifles did a pretty good job on the info but they are missing the point. it’s not about the speed or pressure it’s all about the short barrel. That’s all it’s about, not more accuracy or speed or distance. It’s about having a short 20 barrel with a suppressor for hiking into the hills and thick stuff and hammering a big coues at 300 yards with one shot and not dragging a 4 or 6 in longer gun through the brush. imagine a 20 barrel and folding stock in your pack.

Why is it guys made fun of me for buying a 7 mag reamer. Go figure. wish I could have one or two of all of them. what’s your current cartridge list? here’s mine 22lr 22 mag 5.7 9mm 40 380 38sp 357 10mm 30/30 45 colt 460 45/70 223/556 243 260 AI 308 30/06 300blk 50 cal muzzy 50 bmg 500 grain arrows May own a 6 creed soon May own a 224 Valkyrie soon hurts to see that all in one spot but love them all

Haha I owned one 6.5 creed and swapped it to .243 after a few mags. nothing wrong with it just never owned but the one.

The weak point will always be the case in some way. I don’t see all the big companies testing for over a year jumping into this new design not knowing for sure where it stands. seekins, Christianson, fierce, Aark, and more are all offering 7 Backcountry for 2025.

Just an FYI I shoot all heavy guns myself but most of the work I do is on super light 8 lb guns in magnum calibers for hunters here in AZ so from what I see it’s a large market. The 28 Nosler I have for sale on here is 9 lbs and I have heard it’s over weight from several guys.

Should be some good insights at shot show. We will see.

Certainly possible
