Title: New yote rifle
Post by: Jamieb on November 25, 2011, 02:53:05 PM: I bought something kind of diffrent ( a bolt rifle is diffrent for me) to shoot yotes with this winter.
I havent called in enough doubles or needed fast follow up shots to justify a semi auto but I wanted it.

I did move the scope forward after that picture was taken, I sited it in today with a load toped with 40gr V-max's, shoots great.

Post by: Jamieb on December 03, 2011, 10:49:39 PM: The stock trigger pull was too heavy and rough, no way to adjust it so I replaced it with a Mega arms trigger. it's a lot better but still not even close to the triggers on my bolt guns. The Mega is just the trigger itself ( has a couple of adjustment screws) was $80 and is the cheapest fix I could come up with for a AR. A Timney replacment trigger group that can be set down to 3# is $275.
I was planning on doing some calling this afternoon but other crap took most of the day so I only had enough daylight to set up a target and put a few magazines through it. This toy is going to be fun.
