I guess everyone is busy voting.
I voted a week ago last Saturday.
Just needing to find time to take my Axis in .300 BO out to the range and sight it in. Looking forward to seeing what the subs and the can are like.
I was at the range working on loads yesterday...tons of guys there trying to sight in their safe queen deer guns. Looking at the targets my odds are on the deer.
I need to get a BO barrel I don’t really enjoy shooting subs out of an AR.

I shoot BO subs in my 10.5” AR with a can. It is quiet enough in an indoor range that my electronic ear muffs don’t cut out the sound. Outdoors you can still hears the cicada’s sing while at the range.Quote:

One of my .204 Rugers may become something else... If I didn’t already have a Ruger in 6.5 Grendel I’d likely go that route.
I'm running an obsidian 9 and in long configuration its quiet enough. I don't have a fixed mount yet so I haven't run much blackout through it. I'm patiently waiting for my stamp for my harvester to come in. It's rated for 300 Win Mag so I'll be able to shoot anything I have that will fit through the hole.
I have a couple rated for 300 win mag. My 46 hybrid handles a .338 Lapua, of which I do not have nor is it on my list to have. But the hybrid works great with the .458 SOCOM. A .45-70 lever action would be a great host for that can too.
All of my .308 cans also do an excellent job with 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmoor.
I also voted early 10 days ago. Still had to wait in line 1.5 hours.Quote:

The SOCOM is my go to short range deer round. I need to order a .45 can for it.Quote:

Our local ranges have "sight in" days and bring on a few extra range officers to help out. I didn't put in for a fall tag this year as I didn't know what kind of shape it would be in after stepping on a some loose rocks in February on a Javelina hunt. I was on an old two track and my foot slid off to the side and I fell down. When I looked over my right foot the bottom of it was facing sideways. Of course lucky me I was almost 1/2 a mile from camp hunting alone. It wasn't very painful and I knew I was going to have to walkout so I grabbed my ankle and bent my foot back into place so I could at least stand on it. I had cell service and managed to make a call to my ex who got ahold of my son and they drove the 120 miles up to where I was.Quote:

I mailed my Absentee Ballot in a couple of weeks ago as usual. I have been doing that for about 10 years. Sure beats standing in line or trying to figure out when to go every year. Our early rifle deer hunts started a couple of weeks ago and depending on the Hunt Unit area and number will go through the rest of the year. Usually start off with Junior Hunts, then a week off and then a few days open in certain areas then two more hunts in November and a late hunt in December.
I took my son on a hog hunt last year for his 30th after finding a guy near Hubbard who does hunts. He had some nice AR-10's in 308 with Pulsar NV Scopes. Those were perfect for those hogs. A bit of a drive but it was well worth it.Quote:

I wish I was chasing deer. I haven't had a place to hunt in years, unfortunately. I have a brother and a few friends who are willing to let me have any deer they don't have room for. That's great but it ain't like the fun of the hunt.
