Intro – Mike
Welcome back to another episode of Let’s Go Hunt! – the everyman’s hunting and outdoor podcast.. We aren’t experts, but we’re out there doing it. Join us on our journey! As always we have:
Dave Plowman, crack pour.
Vince H, who had a shitty time today.
Sam Alexander, subject to the whims of the central committee.
And back from shooting the Grail, I’m Mike Gonçalves.
Mike
- I Shot the GLFA Lorge Action AR10 .30-06 today. First impressions: it shot like an AR. The safety is a bit sticky, but that will likely wear in. The trigger is milspec. Shoots like a milspec.
- Future upgrades: FDE grip, silent capture spring,and some sort of bipod.
The holes in the target were way too big - Sunday duck – Starting with Fish Squeezer’s recommendation to go to a river.
I set up in the wrong spot. Waited two hours and went to a different spot, road hunting on the way - Monday duck:
Set up in the right spot. There was less activity, but birds nonetheless. Just as I was about to road hunt, I got action.
Dave
- I don’t have much to report.
- I’m here for commentary and jolks.
Sam
- Note: Saving this for the next episode.
- Preferred magnification range for a hunting scope. The long standing opinion seems to point to 3-9×40. My optic for the past year has been a 5-25×56, which I found to be a bit too bulky and heavy. Currently looking at 3-18×50 as a happy middle ground.
- Touch on differences between western style backcountry hunting and hunting in midwestern and eastern states with much shorter lines of sight.
- Speaking of optics, Mike had a question about diopter adjustments on the Warhawk he mounted to the GLFA Long Action .30-06.
Vince
- I am Slowly picking up new(ish) parts for the kid’s hunting rifle.
- I made my cheese dip with deer tenderloin and it was delicious.
- I’m still on the wait list for the ODWC Trapping Workshop.
- I got the Mitchell Defense BCG for my do everything rifle.
