I have them on a few uppers and they are a great receiver and lock everything together tight. I also like your camo paint job. I'm going that route on one of my woods hunters and you gave me a few ideas on the colors and smear or fade pattern.
Well at least you got some exercise... Keep looking, it will get better, just wasn't the time... I guess if that helped...
Thanks! It was a 75 yard shot and I was standing up when I took it. The yote got under the rim of the water hole and I had to stand to make the shot. I was pretty happy.
Overall, it was a great trip. Disappointed that I didn't shoot a deer, but I guess that's why they call it 'deer hunting' and not 'deer shooting' LOL!
ETA: for the camo, I sprayed the whole thing a base coat of desert tan (I do most of my hunting in the desert) and then used pine straw laid over the rifle to paint the different colors. I ran out of time to do the scope, but I will soon.
