Hello, can you provide a complete list of parts you ordered for your 350 legend build and the cost of this build? Also is this a project that can be completed by a novice diyer? Thanks a bunch!
I think the 350 legend is a great cartridge for people hunting in wooded areas where most shots are under 100-150 yards. A lot of places shots might be 30-60 yards. 350 is great for this and low recoil for younger hunters. That little 20 inch barrel would be handy for the blind or tree blind.
In ohio we have to use straight walled cartridges. As soon as they released this caliber I had one ordered. I was extremely excited about it and I still am. It’s a fantastic sub 200yd gun. And it might be even good for farther than that! Have taken a few white tails with it and love it. Soft shooting and affordable
I’ve got a 350 Legend AR I built. It’s one of the most accurate AR’s I’ve ever had. It shoots the best with the same ammo in 150 grain. Haven’t hunted with it yet but plan on it this deer season.
@@WHOTEEWHO The fmj 124 grain from Browning &145 grain Winchester are cheaper but accurate for sighting in. Winchester 255 subsonic hp is great to 125 yds for kids but drops after that.
I farm in west Texas and we have a feral hog problem! I bought a thermal a couple of years ago, but was having trouble deciding what rifle to mount it on. The sight I bought is clearly an AR sight and would be way too tall for a bolt action. I had a regular 556 and thought it would be right for coyotes and a 308 that would be right for hogs. Our ground is rough and rolling. I got to worrying about miss judging where I was in the dark and possibly focusing on the “glowing” critters and shooting a fast bottleneck cartridge over and who knows what would be endangered, so I bought an AR in 350 legend. We’ll see how it does.
I’m in Lubbock and put together a 350L AR and it shoots great. At 200 yards it’s really dropping fast, so a good choice if you want to limit the range to avoid issues, especially at night.
I love Howa, Boyds Gun stocks are just up the road from me . Used to just walk in and buy over the counter. Nowadays it's all on line. Howa has always been a tack driver for me.Great Shooting Who tee Who.
Thanks for your presentation on the Winchester 350 Legend. That's a beautiful rifle. In many ways this cartridge is a fitting replacement for the 30-30. It's a fantastic brush gun.
Eh I just know distance and click value I alway get it stupid close first adjustment I use reticle outlay measurement from manufacturers to get very good estimate for adjustment needed.
I bought a Howa Mini in 6.5 Grendel in July. With my deer load (129 grain Nosler ABLR, H335) it goes into a half inch for my best groups. Love that rifle! Given you're getting such good results with factory ammo, it speaks well of the firearm in general.
That's some fine shooting! Getting the bedding and tuning a new put together rifle you make look easy. Love that short action Howa. Man, I bet they's sell a million of these in 350 if someone put out a Handi-Rifle in that caliber!
I love 350 legend so much a renamed it 9mm magnum. Mines in an AR platform, grouped really good shooting the break in rounds, I'm loading mine up with 124 and 147 grn 9mm bullets after I read the Hornady 150 grns were .355, fun popping 24 oz drinks at 100 watching them explode.
Good shooting. Impatience improving, plus, you're probably steadier than I am. I like that setup. .350 Legend from everything I've seen and read looks to be very long-lived and well respected. Hope I get a chance to try one soon
Like the Howa rifles in general but the mags and bottom plastic is very disappointing. Can get aftermarket bottom metal but not the mags for the mini action. Howa should offer some options for people not wanting the cheep plastic mags or the bottom on the mini
Yeah having to dish out another $150-200 for a flush bottom metal is disappointing. I'd rather have a flush magazine with the option of swapping to a detachable magazine. Hopefully Howa will take the hint and improve the bottom metal.
I have been waiting to see this Howa 350 legend all put together since the unboxing. It was worth the wait because that is ONE SWEET RIFLE. I have to get me one for sure now! I have a Smith and Wesson 1500 in 243. Howa made them for Smith and Wesson back in the 80's. I have owned it for about 20 years now and it has always been a tack driver. Howa makes good action and barrels. A big thumbs up to you.
I've got the 350 Legend in an XPR Sporter and it's a very good shooter . I really like your setup thats really cool. I to like the fact of making cheap ammo shoot good . I bet better ammo might one hole it all day long .
with horizontal stringing, it probably is capable of even more accuracy to boot, i like the actions on the howa's too. sun in your face is always a big help too!
For a varmint load use 125 hollow points. The effect is spectacular. The other load is a wad cutter and a pinch of bullseye. Great for knocking a grouse out of a tree. Very quiet. Like using a slingshot. This is on a 350 rem but I bet it will work on a 350 legend
Beautiful set-up WhoTeeWho! It looks really similar to the 350 Legend set-up that I put together. Savage Axis ii stainless $489 Boyd's laminate stock $300 Used Bushnell Banner ( 1.5x4 ) $29 Talley lightweight rings $30 Which is my central PA woods rifle. I expect deer to show up between ten to one hundred yards. I'm also using Winchester 180's Thanks for sharing this brother 😊
That gun outshot a expensive rifle with that crazy expensive 308 plastic cased stuff you were shooting! 😄 Man I LOVE that rig right there! A Beautiful Beasty!
WHO_TEE_WHO I purchase a 350 legend rifle after watching your videos. Mine loves the 145 grain FML. Been finding my ammo at Walmart and just picked up 3 boxes yesterday for $12.49 per box.
The Howa 1500 should be more popular than it is, I assume it's because people haven't heard of it or just don't know how good it is for the money. I've got one in 6.5 Creedmoor, 22" stainless threaded barrel with a suppressor and it will shoot sub moa all day with just about any ammo.
Wow! That is a beautiful rifle, and it is a tac driver! I was really impressed. Its ironic you said that ammo is "cheap", since it just depends on where you can buy it. I have seen it for $36.00 / box (NOT cheap!).
@@WHOTEEWHO Yep, here too, in Georgia. Not bad at all for hunting ammo! And it groups damn good. I bet that big bullet will do the trick on a deer. Thanks for the video!
I have the ruger 556 in 350 legend with a 1x4x24 Nikon monarch super crisp glass shooting that same ammo and that thing is a tac driving son of gun .. that's what I use here in Iowa for deer hunting
Pretty good grouping with that .350 legend! I have one that I put together on an AR platform. Can’t wait to get out and give it a try! Ammo was kinda the same way around here all you could find was .350 legend. Went to the boo lot store day before yesterday and seen quite a bit of .223, 5.56, .308, .22 well you get the picture. Ammo coming back and also coming back down almost to where a poor man can buy it again. Some of it ain’t coming back down like it should but it is a little cheaper!
Something totally off subject. But if you like Olight lights and can't figure out why the magnets on their chargers won't stick to all of their lights, it's on purpose. The Valkyrie chargers won't charge an Odin. Odin needs a higher capacity charger so they reversed the magnets. I found out the hard way...
love the gun...i've got one on an AR platform sweet shooter....only problem i've got is most of the jell tests show the bullets not expanding well...not that it wouldn't do the job.have yet to shoot a whitetail with it .ones got to walk close to me somday when i'm carrying it
I'm a big fan of 350 Legend, I've taken two hogs with one shot each and "dead right there" results. People who worship bottle-neck flat-shooting cartridges often dismiss 350 Legend because they only look at one part of ballistics, that's exterior ballistics (ballistic coefficient and bullet drop). They ignore interior ballistics (efficiency) and terminal ballistics. Straight case cartridges impart more energy, more quickly, without a long barrel, because the pressure has more bullet surface to push against. Just look at a shotgun slug for delivered energy and consider how small a shotgun load is. And how can a 150-180 grain .357 bullet at 2,000+ fps not be effective? Terminal performance of .350 Legend rocks. Yes, it's not for 200+ yards. But I think the advantages for 350 Legend are too many to just dismiss (light recoil, ample energy and terminal performance, low ammo cost.) As to the efficiency of the cartridge, it creates little flash or boom in my 16" Ruger American Ranch rifle. The first hog I shot, the outfitter had to ask me and confirm I'd shot one, since he didn't hear the rifle go off from less than a mile away. Anyways, hope this helps.
