Best .300blkout hunting setup

[Control for Smilers]

The rig that was the genesis for this thread. I’m not an urban sniper but the rig has proven to be a handy late night dispatcher of the armadillos in the yard that are digging under my porch.
Its kinda heavy to carry in the woods for deer so I was wondering about lighter weight options and expanding subs for deer neck shots at 50-60 yds. Subsonic suppressed is addicting.
Gun is very accurate, just heavy. I was even considering cutting the 16.5” barrel and doing a pin/weld on the muzzle break/can adapter to reduce weight and keep 16” rifle status.
Maybe a lightweight chassis. Could always do the ttx supers when leaves are all gone and longer shots possible.
Heck, for a short range gun like this even a barrel spiral flute is on the table lol.
Only thing that gives me pause is I don’t think they made a whole lot of these in .300blckout.

SBR.

SBR.

Tempting but I can cut barrel to a little over 14” and then pin/weld the brake to save me $200 and being on a list. So is it worth it to SBR? Only NFA stuff I have is suppressor.
How does SBR paperwork go? Submit, wait and then cut when you get stamp?
Or does whole rifle have to wait in jail at FFL while I wait on stamp?

Guess I’m not the only one looking for options for the .300blkout AAC-SD.

Stock options for Remington 700 AAC-SD .300blackout..... little confused - AR15.COM

Let's see your remington 700 aac-sd

Hey guys, I'm a new member. Just got my first bolt action rifle, a remington 700 aac-sd and vortex viper hs-t on the way. I'm wondering if you can post pics of your aac-sd's? Looking for ideas on stocks, bolt knobs etc. if there was a remington 700 pic thread I guess that would work by i...

cut after you get the stamp, it takes a month on average. I efiled my sbrs. if you own a suppressor...it is the same list.

Armadillo's are a very ferocious creature and are going be the bane of my existence.
Even more so than coyotes.

I honestly think barrel manufactures are missing the mark a little by not offering 13.7-13.9 AR barrels in .300 Blk.

Anybody in here run the federal fusion 150s. I know those aren’t subsonic but just curious how the report worked on deer. First time trying them out

running them out of a 16 inch Ruger American

A buddy who hunts in Monroe county and Thomaston does. He gets about 1.5 - 2 MOA out of a RRA 16 inch upper. He’s killed several does with it. Run very little. I would recommend them over subs.

I’m hoping to get better than that with running a bolt gun. It was either those or the Hornady 110 GMX. I know Hornady makes great stuff I just wanted a little heavier round.

Hornady black too. I would recommend the 150 fusions over Hornady though. Just based off of mass alone. You’re shooting a more accurate .30-30 at this point.
