    MK262

    Ever try N150? I've been using it for my bolt .223 with Hornady 75 BTHPs and the same charge weight I use with N140 (24.7) gives me about 75fps faster (than with N140) and no pressure. This isn't loaded to AR mag length but I've been meaning to work up a load at AR mag length so I can use it...

    Spotters Spotting scope chassis.

    @MDT_Josh and I came up with a cage for the Vortex Razor 27-60x85 straight spotter (with the mrad reticle). My idea and napkin sketches, entirely his design work, haha. He's run it a bunch with a red dot and tried it with an Impact 4000 but it's just 3d printed so not the best for holding zero...

    Rifle Scopes Going from Razor gen 6-36x to LHT 4.5-22x

    I have both and they fill very different niches. IMO the only reason to go from a Gen 3 to the LHT is because you want/need to drop weight (as it weights half what a Gen 3 does). So if dropping that weight is really critical to you, then go for it, otherwise there is no reason to do so. The...

    Tripod field shooting with magnums

    As others have said, you just have to be on it with fundamentals, especially NPA but understand that your sight picture will be noticeably more disturbed than when shooting a lighter recoiling rifle regardless. Attaching your pack to the tripod (if time permits) to increase its weight helps...

    2 Tripod Question

    I've done this a few times over the years in team match settings, most recently at BOTC in June. Double tripods works great. In all instances though I'd say that both tripods I used were roughly equivalent. If I had to choose where the sturdier tripod went, it owuld be front support though as...

    Mk12 mod 0 with Swan sleeve stiffer than contemporary free floatbtube?

    Thanks for that! Beauty rifle. Yeah, I guess I probably should've also asked which free-float handguard/barrel nut combos are less susceptible to POI shifts.

    Mk12 mod 0 with Swan sleeve stiffer than contemporary free floatbtube?

    I don't know if this is a dumb question but would a rifle set up with a PRI forend and a Swan sleeve (like a Mk12 Mod 0) have a stiffer forend than a contemporary free float tube that attaches to the barrel nut? I know most ARs that have a free float handguard that clamps to the barrel nut...

    N570 temperature sensitivity

    In my .300NM I have next to no velocity change going from -15C to 35C.

    Medium Weight 20" match 5.56/.223 barrel's: Where are they?

    Honestly a fluted Craddock or WOA seems like the answer. Gives you the profile you want at the weight you want. You'll never see the flutes...

    Medium Weight 20" match 5.56/.223 barrel's: Where are they?

    Why not a fluted SAM-R from Craddock?

    Something coming new for Kestrel? They’re on sale…hmmm

    There will always be the new shiny thing but regardless of what comes down the pipe, I don't think you'd regret getting a 5700 Elite, especially on sale. I've had one since (I think?) 2017 or '18 and it's a great piece of kit.

    New MDT CRBN Stock/Chassis?

    My CRBN has been great, in and out of a tripod clamp a ton and no issues on the arca rail. I too wanted a more vertical grip when I first saw it but it actually feels really nice in hand. It's a really nice chassis to shoot, feels nothing like the HNT 26 (I have a folder and love it for...

    Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt - Updated 9/30 with third hunt

    That's awesome! 1.5" height? Could you get more made, by any chance? The lack of a rail mount for it has me holding off on the C35.
