Anyone used the Game Winner brand feeders at Academy? I am looking that their lowboy 300lb corn feeder.
I haven't tried any of these and just looking for some feedback.

I have one of the Game Winner 600# feeders. It was a pain to put together. I also had to remove the ladder & replace the varmint guard with a bigger one. The coons had a field day with it before I did those 2 things. It has held up ok other than that.

I have had the 300lb one for 3 seasons now. Only problem I had was the spinner plate fell off through mid season the first year. Little set screw came out. Just make sure to tighten everything up. Oh and you'll want to secure the conduit from motor to battery. Coons used mine as a trapeze and tore it up. I'm an A/C guy so I had plenty of that stuff laying around. Good sturdy feeder and has stood up to the test of LOTS of hogs.

I have an older 600 lb feeder. I wouldn't buy it again. The motors/timers were very cheap. I would buy one of Rambals shorter feeders and add my own motor if I were in the market.

Did you have to caulk the side panels? How old is it? Thanks, looking at getting one when they go on sale I have one of the Game Winner 600# feeders. It was a pain to put together. I also had to remove the ladder & replace the varmint guard with a bigger one. The coons had a field day with it before I did those 2 things. It has held up ok other than that.
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

I use 55 gal drums on 8' legs with galvanized dome lids & a bunch of Texas Hunter 12v feeders with solar panels and varmint cages...will never use anything else again.

I bought two of the 600# Big A feeders from Academy over the summer.
if you get them on sale for $299 then yes they are worth the $299 but I think I'll have to put new 12V kit on it.
As other have said the barrel wall seem thin but I also have expensive feeders that are about the same thin.
Took me couple of hours to put the first feeder together and then 45 minutes on the second feeder. The instructions could be better.
The timer seems OK, I think its just the 6v motor that might be an issue.
I really needed something larger than a 55 gal feeder and the 600# works for me. If I had more money I would have gotten the 800# all seasons feeder.
I think for the price I would give the feeder a grade of B-
A good feeder if your on a budget
