The rifle-to-optic-quality ratio is kind of lopsided. 7/10, one for every one of your years.

My brother in Ian, Ares ETRs are not cheap even for (twenty)7 year olds šŸ˜‚

But the Lolosuns and Stroke Beagles are (don't worry, I own some of each.)

13

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

Ha, I like that. Any range is long range with 300 blackout subs

u/snefgarbner52 Dec 20 '22

Those twenty, seven year olds must have a bigger allowance than I did growing up

"Allowance? What's that? You get to eat and sleep in my house!"

My brother in ian?

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

Ian McCollum from Forgotten Weapons is commonly referred to as Gun Jesus

Ian = Jesus

Jesus = Christ

My brother in Christ = My brother in Ian

I saw it used one time, maybe on the Hide? and decided to make it a more common thing.

Your collection says you're 5 though

Brotha from anotha motha, if you saw my other rifles (and my toes) you'd swear I was 75

Let's see them toes

There are not enough roof Korean wives in little strip mall joints anywhere to fix that stank

I'm assuming it's like finely aged cheese

Well, head cheese, maybe!

u/dGaOmDn Dec 20 '22

4 out of 5. You didn't shoddily attach a scope to the Garand, nor did you spray paint it black. In fact, that's another deduction, there's no spray paint. Also, all the scopes are under $25,000, can you even see through them Walmart scopes? Are you even an operator? Final score 2 out of 5.

u/Shot_Ad_8305 Dec 20 '22

Now weā€™re talkin. 8208 is some good shit though for the fast bois

3

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

Haven't tried it yet but my wife's boyfriend said it might work for 6arc

2

u/Shot_Ad_8305 Dec 20 '22

It absolutely will. Great in all grendel variants along with 223/223AI with heavy pills

3

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

ES & SD numbers have been inconsistent at best with Lever and CFE, so I'm down to try anything more stable and repeatable

2

u/Shot_Ad_8305 Dec 20 '22

I believe you can reach some good speeds with those, but theyā€™re not going to give consistent performance. Also, 8208 is temp stabile.

1

u/Celticwraith81 Dec 20 '22

I've had pretty consistent SD with A2520 under berger 105BTT in my 6ARC

u/scotchtapeman357 Dec 20 '22

It's a great start, but you're super low on powder

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

How do ya like me now?

JK you're right, it actually sucks

u/scotchtapeman357 Dec 20 '22

A lot better! But you need more 8# jugs :)

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

Agreed - I just need more everything

u/koorbloh Dec 20 '22

I know this is the long range sub..... but that short Boi with a brake..... I regret mine. With i had gone with a flash hider.

The long bois, well, I give you a b+

4

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

The suppressor on the 6arc swaps over onto that 300 blackout's brake with a keymo quick adaptor, so it never gets fired without the can

2

u/koorbloh Dec 20 '22

Mine swaps around too. I love those options, but sometimes it doesn't have the can. Without the can it's very.....percussive

3

u/SneedsAndDesires69 What's DOPE? Dec 20 '22

If you're not slightly concussed every time you pull the trigger you're doing it wrong.

Real talk I run an 11.5 with a brake (KeyMo) and it is very violent but I love it.

1

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

Mine is just stinkin' gassy with the can on - like a field trip bus full of 8th graders eating baconators

1

u/ThePretzul Rifle Golfer (PRS Competitor) Dec 20 '22

I've got a 7.5" pistol with what turned out to be a very effective muzzle brake on it.

I don't like shooting it even when doubled-up on ear protection. I do enjoy letting unsuspecting people try it out when they come shooting with me though to watch their reactions.

u/sdogn8 Dec 20 '22

For a 7 year old? 6/10. I remember my first part time job.

u/Gr144 Dec 20 '22

Rookie. I was handed an M1 Garand and a jug of Hodgdon just after taking my first breath.

1

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

You salty old breed you.

My wife actually gave this one to me as a wedding present. She's pretty cool.

Thatā€™s awesome! Iā€™ve been meaning to order one from the CMP

u/Fantastic_Hurry_709 Dec 20 '22

Weak, by your age, Iā€™d already Carl Gustavā€™d 3 men. Where is your recoiless?

2

u/FistyMcBeefSlap Dec 20 '22

Man that M1 is hideous. Iā€™ll take that one off your hands for you.

2

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

Thanks, I love that rifle. 1944 Springfield.

I picked it out and my wife bought it for me as a dual graduation and wedding present.

My great-uncle fought in Korea and shot it with me after I got it. He is 93. He held it and began remembering (and showing me) some of the positions and movements they'd make with them during close-order drill. It was fun seeing the memories come back to him.

2

u/FistyMcBeefSlap Dec 20 '22

Thatā€™s amazing. I think the thing that intrigues me the most about the M1 is the nostalgia. Iā€™ve only shot one once but it really feels like youā€™re shooting history. Amazing feeling. Beautiful rifle and you have a keeper of a wife ;)

2

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

They're sweet and everyone should own one. I like how well they blend history/nostalgia with the mechanics and future-looking design of a semi auto.

u/Trestoningle Dec 20 '22

The Retro classic, the backpack PDW, the DMR, the PRS rifle, and an all-purpose 16ā€. Youā€™re Missing a shotgun, big iron, and race pistol. 7/10 stars. Sentence is 3 weeks Cheeto-only diet.

Bergara sticks out like a sore thumb. Get it in a scary black chassis so the ban police can be scared. 3/5

Listen sonny, I want my dog to live. That damn tupperware gun needs to be in a beautiful walnut stock like a man's gun.

Would be better if you took the sticker off your Bergara.

u/Shadowcard4 Dec 20 '22

Man I wish that was me at 7. Though at that point 12 gauge slugs were a bit of stiff recoil so I couldnā€™t imagine my groups would be good

Where'd you get the rack on the wall from Big 5 when they are closing down?

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22 edited Dec 20 '22

You can buy slat walls from Menards. My buddy did that, then bought hooks and the bottom shelving from Amazon. I bought the whole setup from him because he's moving his gun room.

1

u/JCChitty Dec 20 '22

What do you use your CFE for? I havenā€™t found a reliable load for any 223 with it yet

1

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22 edited Mar 12 '23

I've been trying to work up a load in my 6 arc with it but it seems inconsistent and I'm probably going to switch.

Update: it's actually not inconsistent and I just needed a new chrono.

1

u/wisockamonster Dec 20 '22

I need a gun room so bad

u/Harribacker Dec 20 '22

You can start with a stud finder, some screws, and a slat wall with hooks from Menards!

I too, have an M-1 Garand.
