Firearms WTT/WTS Geissele/Bartlein 14.5" for Ruckus

Geissele Super Duty with bartlein 14.5" gain twist barrel from Craddock Precision. Pinned forward controls flash hider compatible with dead air xeno. I used a vampire lower from Geissele because I ended up sbr-ing the original lower. No real blems, I can send additional pictures. Super duty parts kit, trigger, buffer tube, etc. About 100 rounds on the barrel and less than 400 on all other parts. Very accurate.

Would like to trade for a Defiance Ruckus tactical, nitride. Would prefer guardian/aw cut. Sell for $1600.

Are humans their own, worst enemy?

A few weeks ago an article said that scientists were puzzled by the presence of microplastics in a 10,000 year old ice core.

That's the thing - microplastics are apparently showing up in areas where they shouldn't - at least not if your hypothesis is that they are a relatively new thing to the world.

I haven't followed the microplastics thing closely, but I do agree with the general theme that we are self destructing species. Though I think risky GoF virus research and nuclear war are bigger threats than microplastics.

Best flow through suppressor

I will and I am not being snarky.

The 762 will suppress 30 cal, 6mm, 5.56
The 6 can will suppress 6 and 5.56
The 5.56 will suppress 5.56

Behind the gun, they all sound the same to the shooter. I think you would need a sound meter to notice any difference. I have done nothing to see if groups are more accurate when you match a caliber to a specific suppressor.
Agree. Have all 3. I can’t tell between 6 and 762 on an 18” 6arc gun. Just a size difference between 556 and 762. At this point, I just wouldn’t buy anything but a Flow 762 for anything. There is zero practical reason. I’m sure a machine can measure some difference, but human ears can’t.

looking for new hunting rifle for large western game

My brother hunted with Winchester Model 70's of various cartridge for pig up through elk. And he was happy with his rifles. but to standardize he switched all to Tikka T3's. They have wooden stock versions of Tikka's (Hunter). I didn't see a 300 wsm cartridge in hte line up but they had ones in 300 WM and .223 1-8" twist ;). I've followed the RS thread and find their results impressive. The wound channel from the 77gr TMK reminds me of the terminal performance of my 30-06 with controlled expansion bullets. But with one difference, the exit hole was consistently larger with my 30-06 than what I saw on the RS thread. So if I was in the woods elk hunting with 0-300 yard shots I'd take my Win M70 FWT 30-06. Out here in Eastern Oregon open desert or mountain where a 600-700 yard shot is all I'll get I'll use my Remington ADL 7mm RM in a KRG Bravo chassis.

Solus bolt issues

Yes, I make sure to verify before each stage and it still happens lol. But when I try to recreate the problem on purpose I can never do it. I'll try beveling my chassis where it drags and see if it helps. Worst case I'll make the detent notch a little deeper and see if that helps.
Don't jack with the detent notches or anything else on your bolt.

Mill/cut a slot in your stock for the bottom of the cocking piece to run unimpeded during the complete bolt cycle.

Kicking around the .375 E to replace 50 cal. in the ELR-SR role.

Aren't the 338 and the 375 so close to each other capability wise that it would be wiser to go with one of them? It seems as if the list of cartridges kept in inventory is growing faster than ever.
Depends on the purpose/mission. I would say no in this application. Especially since we have more room to add goodies in the 375 for other needs.

Kestrel 5700 Elite AB vs Leica Geovid Pro with AB

I use ONLY lithium batteries on all my electronics, they not only perform better but also if left for a while they don’t produce the sulphates.

With lithium batteries the cold also affects and I had to replace almost daily on my Binos and kestrel, I used Energizer and Duracell and same results
I have had nothing but trouble with Duracell. Had a pack of their batteries go bad, un-opened. Thought it was fluke... Had it happen again a month later... Never will I buy them again.
