After I received my bullet Stubby from Cravenspeed I was slightly disappointed. I went back and what I thought was an antenna made to resemble a .50cal round was just described as "bullet stubby". I can only be disappointed in myself for not reading the size listed on the website.

For all who want to see a size comparison, here's mine with the tip painted red next to a .50cal round, the original antenna, and a .223 round.

I measured this and the bullet is .40cal, or 10mm.

Looks more like a 30-06.

Most commoners will never notice the difference.

I was excited to purchase this because I love guns. But the more I see them on Rangers and other vehicles, the closer I get to the conclusion that it doesn’t really make sense to have a fake bullet as an antenna. Just looks strange to have a fake bullet there.

Works well! I'm taking a trip home to MS and this will really give me a chance to test it.

Thanks for the correction on the .223. That was a typo.
You quoted the wrong person there slick.

I'd much prefer a .338 lapua to throw folks off. They'd never know it was a real caliber.
