I think it shows very poor taste to show up in a corn filed with a semi-auto for such a majestic bird as a pheasant  I don't see pheasants as very majestic, they have become rare due to lack of habitat. So the state stocks them, its a case of birds wild as chickens with all sorts of city slickers chasing them all over the corn fields. I keep far away.

I can die completely fulfilled now. LOL. Sorry for the highjack, nice gun OP. all good I carry a 12 ga riot gun for Pheasant 870 police with a 20 inch barrel had it threaded for rem chokes or a 500 with a 20 inch barrel so I am always in poor taste but then again I am the dog so shorter barrels help me fulfill my role as human dog in hunting.

I exhibit very poor taste then because I carry a semiautomatic for all manner of upland hunting. It just never made any sense to me to lug around 2 barrels when I can only shoot one at a time. I do have the good sense to carry a 20 or a 28 depending upon quarry. LOL. I too carry a 20 ga semi auto for upland hunting, bout all the upland hunting I do is Ruffed Grouse. I can't see limiting yourself to 2 shots when you can kick up 3-4 or more at a time. I have killed many a grouse on the 5th shot while my buddy with his double barrel stands there empty.

Before I went to semi autos I used a 12 ga 870 with a skeet barrel, I think its 26". We hunted Grouse mainly, never with a dog, I too was the dog. So lots of very close shots to start with. I was asked by my hunting buddies why I dumped the 870 for a semi auto as I fired the 870 so fast that many times it sounded like I had an auto. It was cause as many shells as I went thru all the 12 ga shells I carried was getting too heavy for me.

he fired 60 rounds of Aguila fmj "break in ammo"
He had 100% function while on gas setting 3
he tried gas setting 2 after 40 rounds on setting 3 and had 2 failure to feed then went back to setting 3. I don't know how many of his 60 rounds that was
as long as he was running gas setting 3 it was feeding well he has the 20 inch barrel with the rifle gas system maybe that makes a difference , unsure and a sample size of 1
he didn't measure but when he tried to shoot accurately he said about 2 inches for his best group on paper at 100 mostly he was shooting steel at 100 and 200
we weren't expecting any great accuracy from the Aguila it was the cheapest thing on the shelf for break in and fun.
the up side sounds like good function right out of the box for his as long as using gas setting 3
he put a Vortex 1-8 strike eagle on it for an optic

after I talked to him he went back to the store bought 40 more rounds this time PMC bronze fmj and went back to the range
so he took it to 100 rounds he said in his last 20 of the 100 rounds the ejection of cases started shifting forward so we will see if it will run on 2 at some point.
he was just having too much fun banging steel at 200 at that point to shoot for groups he had 4 steel plates up at 200
once the cows get off summer pasture at the farm we have some steel at 420yards to go play with and if we build a stand to hang the steel on we can go to about 700.

I just asked him where it was putting brass
he said it had been putting them out around 3:30-4:00
then around 85-90 rounds it shifted to around 1:30-2:00
60 rounds Aguila then 40 rounds PMC bronze

What would it take to put a 243 barrel on this?

What would it take to put a 243 barrel on this? if it gets as popular as the Ruger Precision rifle it probably won't take long and some barrel maker will have a barrel and bolt combo for it. but probably 2-3 years out at least it needs a base first , what that base wants to be doing will drive the direction it goes much like the RPR also it takes more than hunters to drive a market , hunters don't burn out barrels or need even if they like it the performance competitors demand

AT 300 YARDS !!!!! DANG I want one 1:11 in video . Yes left lane I have said on MANY occasions that they would be great for hog hunting !!! Mow them down. But where I live and how I hunt I have no use nor desire for one. But looks like fun and good luck . You're Right Leftlane If we had hogs But then I'd still prefer an Old school Semi Auto. My Stroke took away many disassemble- assemble abilities.
