Anyone shooting the Triple Duce.   This was my father's gun that I brought back to life. This is my first coyote.  I had to get up at 2:40am and drive for 3 hours but it was worth it.
I've got a Remington 600 in .222 that bever comes out of the safe.

Not mine, but it looks just like this one.

I believe that mine is the Rem ADL the gun is very accurate.  The only thing I dont like about it is that I have to cycle the live shells out of the built in clip.  There is not a door on the bottom of the clip to open up.

 Wondering if a gun smith could cut the stock and add a bottom door to empy the clip?.

When I was in Junior high and not thinking (ie stupid and tired) I forgot to unload the gun after hunting.  Brought it home and cycled four shells out.  I pulled the trigger and itwent off in the back yard.  Obviously I had the gun pointed in a safe direction and blew a hole in the grass in the backyard (lucky I didnt hit the sprinkler system).  Something I think about 30 years later every time I unload it.

 Have you ever shot your 222.  Seems like that gun would be sweet to carry hunting with the short barrel.

R15
   

:drool: NICE! I love those Remington's - I really want an R25 and almost bought one. But now I got into shooting clays so all my money has been going to that. I bought 2 new O/U's instead. 1st I got a Mossberg Silver Reserve Sporting, its a good gun and I like it - but it wasnt expensive enough so I just bought a Browning Cynergy Sporting.  :chuckle: Its shipping out today so hopefully by this time next week I'll be shooting a new shotgun!  :IBCOOL:

DPMS makes the R15 and R25 for Remington dont they? I think the DPMS Sportical or Panther LR .308 is exactly the same as the R25 minus the camo dip.
I aint superstitious - cuz its bad luck!

If It's a 700 you can just buy another stock with the drop floor plate hole and bottom metal for it I think. Some of the Remington guys on here can verify that.

I've probably put about 10 rounds through it...never hunted with it. I haven't even looked at it in over a year I bet. It is a very compact, easy handling rifle. I'd like to find one in .350 rem mag one of these days when funds allowed and get a twin.

did you duracoat your rifle or what?

I used, RUST-OLEUM MultiColor Textured Paint.  It has a nice grip to it.
And just cause I got out yesrerday. Here is another pic. And one of the stock, tried to get a little creative.  :chuckle:




I likes how the camo blends with the sheets on your bed!  You can fondle it in bed, and the wife would never notice there was another "lady" in bed with ya!!  ;)   :chuckle:

You can buy a hinged floorplate to be cut into your ADL stock making it a BDL.  Midway sells them, for one.  They aint cheap!  Lotsa luck finding a used one.  Your odds are better of winning the Lotto!

I had a Winchester Model 70 Bull-barrel Target model .222 years ago.  Sold it to buy materials when I was building my house.  Sweet shooter.  Wish I had it back, but the guy I sold it to would sooner give me a kidney.

If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
