    Unlike Honey Bees, Hornets sting, and sting, and sting….

    The Green Hornet is such a cool little rifle

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Will be interesting to see what happens to Max and Horner. Silly season may be extra silly this year.

    Trigger options..... bix n andy triggertech diamond or timney hit

    Ill say that BnA is not a trigger for those that aren't apt to doing a little tinkering, or are not using a gunsmith to dial it in. If you just want set it and forget it, get a TT - though the sear engagement will likely not be optimal, and the limited options and adjustments.

    No, it's not. That's just ignorance. The over travel is an intentionally designed feature, and one that many of us here prefer. I'll take a BnA over a TT any day, and one of the reasons is that over travel.

    Are you talking about the over travel? That's a function of the trigger, not a flaw.

    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    Nah, I don't really care. Each suppressor purchase is an individualistic choice that is made up of trade-offs. If for one person that means achieving the lowest possible dB's over everything else, by all means. I don't really care how one chooses to skin this cat. What suppressor one buys and...

    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    How I would interpret that is that when it comes to AR-15's and suppressing them, there's other objectives that should take higher priority than just pure suppression/dB reduction.

    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    I use an Abel Biscuit with my AR-15's. They definitely have less back pressure than a SiCo Omega, another can I've used on the same rifles. Quality is top notch. Sound suppression is pretty good for being a shorter can. The guys are Abel are awesome. I'm using a .30 cal version of the Biscuit...

    Alternative choice to push-button sling loops on bolt guns?

    The QD flush cup system is incredibly poorly designed. If you use them in any sort of a "hard use" environment, they will eventually fail. HK hooks are noisy. I have no experience with the Magpul paraclips, they seem interesting. I'm sure there's much better ways to attach a sling to a rifle.

    Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

    This is the trick with shorter barrels. I have an 18" 6.5 CM barrel, and 123 Scenars go ~2850 fps (reloaded). Factory Hornady 140's are about 2500 fps.
