So the new 99C works wonderfully.
I bagged an elk on the last morning before leaving with a nice, easy 300 yard double lung shot.
My wife is VERY happy, she loves elk! Personally, I like elk and moose the same.
This years total between the 4 of us:
- a very nice 4x5 white tail buck
- white tail doe
- mule deer doe
- calf moose
- cow elk

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I'm really not much of a AR 15 "M16" fan after a few years of dragging one around in the army but for some strange reason today i decided to build one.
Picked up a C3 defense lower and complete parts kit now im shopping for uppers and a few other parts.

Just run everything threw a spell checker.
Completed the lower build this morning with Magpul parts and DPMS stock.
The build went nice and smooth.
I do recommend a better stock the DPMS had a lot of play in it so it will need some modifications "but i do like the look of it".
I still need a AR wrench to tighten the locking ring on the stock, but other than that its ready for a upper and optics to finish it.
So far i have $226 in the lower build.
I'm not set on getting a complete upper i may build it the way i want.

Post a pic when you're done. I'd love to see it.
I was dreaming about an AR style rifle the other night.........I'm not sure why........maybe it was my brain's way of reminding me I don't have one in the gun cabinet and should perhaps put one in there............lol
Oh, addendum to my previous rifle post with hunting info. I bagged a REAL nice 5x5 white tail buck on a friends land just outside of town. Those horns are going up on the wall!

I will up some pics when i complete the build.
I haven't figured out why I'm leaning toward tactical weapons lately.
Got my scope in and the AR wrench to tighten up the stock.
Some of you may laugh at the scope i picked but i like the design of it "I have been known to destroy scopes" 3x9x42.

This one looks indestructible.it works for my eye sight also nice and clear.
I will go with a holographic on top of it later on.
I also inherited a pump action Remington 22 that i really like, this gun just feels right.
