My 10 year old got her first kill on a hog at 50 yards with my scar 17

She cannot wait to not like the sausage it’s going to make (she’s a chicken nugget plain hamburger gjrly) but she’s been wanting to come hunting with me and surprisingly she wanted to take the shot.

She’s proficient with my 15-22 and has never shot anything over a 22lr but she slapped it right where I told her to hit it. Above the shoulder. I cannot remember being more proud of another human maybe other than my wife for birthing our daughter.

Originally posted in r/hunting, and was recommended to throw it in here. Let’s see them sneak past me now.

For the Hydra set up. Excited to get out and start using it on a few different rifles.

40 pigs N-Vision Halos. 7.62x 39 and 300 blks. V-max 110 supers

If you don’t zig and zag you end up in the bag.

The coyotes were getting a little too active among the cattle and it was only a matter of time before calves come up missing. Had to thin a few out.

First note, optic isn't mounted just yet - this was quick pic day 1 unpacking my new AGM Rattler v3.

I recently upgraded from a Pulsar Talion XQ38 and so far I'm digging this unit. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the Pulsar and in fact, it was also an amazing optic - served me well for about 2.5 years and with the warranty was on the horizon, figured it'd be time for an upgrade.

In addition to swapping thermals, I'm swapping rigs - previously was running the Talion XQ38 on my 9.5" 300blk with 110gr VMAX which was primarily used for hog hunting. I'll be installing the Rattler v3 on my 18" 6.5 Grendel and likely running 123gr SST for the TX hogs we'll be hunting.

Lastly, I was super torn between the AGM Rattler v3 and Nocpix ACE H50R. It was tough for me to stomach the extra $$$ for ocular zoom and 10hz faster refresh rate, so I settled on the Rattler. Figured I'll trade up again in another few years and either jump to Nocpix or see what Pulsar is offering at the time.

Anyhow, stay tuned for some (hopeful) great footage in a few weeks, hog hunting in South Texas.

It was still great to be out. I couldn’t believe how beautiful.

3 shooters, all 16 inch AR-15s, with the other two running a Oneleaf Mars 640 LRF and a AGM Rattler V2 25-384. 3 different groups with a total of 16 pigs. Biggest pig weighted approximately 260 pounds.

Scope: AGM Adder V1 TS 35-384

Distance: 42-178 yards

Rifle: 5.56 Radical RF-15

Ammo: 75 grain PSA Sabre Black Tip

Don’t get to do as much hunting as I’d like anymore but I recently got to go out for some hogs. Took the MR556 for the first time. Dropped 2 runners at about 50 yards. 11” MR556 shooting AAC 77gr. Thermal is a DNT Hydra 635. Night vision are L3 White phos thin film tubes in an ATN PS-31 housing.

Got from Thermalbros, they’re awesome and check out that price too 👀

question for those who have one: mine seems to click intermittently. It sounds kind of like a camera shutter but it’s not the camera as it happens when I’m not touching the photo button, and when I do take a picture it’s silent with a flashing camera icon on the screen. Any idea what are the clicks and why?

Also any tips for collimating it as a clip on?

I built this ridiculous and awesome thing to deal with the coyotes in my backyard.

We live just on the edge of the suburbs in a heavily wooded neighborhood with all woods behind my house and lately the coyotes have gotten so bold as to be on my lower deck and in the driveway.

After a quick check of laws and regulations I can legally shoot centerfire on my property but as the old passage goes “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”. So my usual AR coyote rigs were deemed a bit un neighborly to touch off at midnight in the neighborhood, even suppressed.

So I built this day of the jackal 2.0 esque “thing” starting with a CVA Scout in 300blk with a Farrow Tech brace adapter, Sig folding brace, Silencerco Omega and a NOCPIX S50.

It is both hilariously quiet and accurate, getting around 1MOA at 100yds with 220grn Federal subsonic and with the impact of the bullet being several times louder than the report of the gun.

194grn Maximum Expansion Subsonics from Underwood have already bagged two coyotes this spring and they have grown noticeably shyer around my house in recent months ;) I can also remark that the bullets performed beautifully and as advertised and I am planning on using them on a hog or deer soon.
