[ZbornacSVT]

Hehehe.....finally getting into the .458 game. Found a buy on a Teppu Jutsu upper I couldn't pass on. I hope to have it by end of week.

was that on ar15.com? awesome deal! I just got my 458 build last week, now just gotta stock up on ammo and reloading supplies

 

[ZbornacSVT]

Yup. I ended up getting it quite a bit cheaper than it was listed.

Nice! Will you be using it on deer this fall?

Congrats, Ive been wanting to do a .458 build for quite awhile now! And please don't think I'm a stick in the mud, or a prude, but why must we refer to our firearms as "toys"?

i refer to my firarms as toys mainly because for me they are my entertainment and most are not somthing i NEED so they are toys. mabye if i was some form of operator or currently deployed in harms way they would be tools

Congrat, now you need to stock up some watermelons. They are fun targets to shoot with the 458 socom. Or drink a lot of milk or water from a gallon bottles.

Very nice. At some point I want a .458 for hunting and a 6.8 upper just because.

By kit do you mean upper?

RRA has offerings for around $700.
Teppo Jutsu uppers are built to spec with stainless barrels. I got this one to my door for less than $600, and there is a 16" on arfcom for $625. I really wanted the 16 instead of the 18, but this one was a better buy.

I'm a 458 virgin, but I definitely dig the idea of hunting with my AR and not going to the pokie for it!
