    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...

    Selling a brand new set of Steiner M830R LRF binos. Really nice binos with an etched milling reticle. Comes with everything that was in the box (minus the box). Have put a battery in them to try ranging off my deck but have never been outta the house. They retail at $3000, I'm looking for...

    Rifle Scopes 1x prism and magnifier

    So apparently I have an astigatism, haha... I have red dots on almost all my rifles (as offsets on bolt and offsets or primaries on gas guns) and pistols and have no issues using them effectively although the dot isn't necessarily super crisp (this is with quality red dots, Aimpoint Micros...

    Badger coaxial rangefinder mount 30mm

    Anyone have a line on where to get a Badger Ordnance coaxial rangefinder mount for a 4 screw ring cap 30mm unimount? I just saw that they discontinued them (still make the 34mm though). Shoulda grabbed one a while back but such is life. Anyone have a lead?

    Newcon Optik Seeker M/S weapon mountable LRF

    Anyone have any experience with the Newcon Optik Seeker M or S? The S (905nm laser) is kinda between the Radius and a Raptar in price while the M (1550nm laser) is closer to the Raptar (but no on board AB). Neither unit has IR illumination (like the Raptar does, although I guess it's pretty...

    Rain/snow protection for rifle while strapped to pack

    I'm looking for the best suggestion for protecting my rifle from rain/snow while hiking into my long range spots with the rifle strapped to my pack. I have a great scope/action wrap made by Sunrise Tactical but I'd like to also have something over the muzzle as the rifle will be pointed up. Just...

    Night Vision Muzzle devices and NV/thermal

    Is their an advantage to running a flash suppressor/hider vs a brake when using NV/thermal other than with regards to minimizing your signature? As in, does the flash from a brake temporarily obstruct your sight picture more so than what you get with a flash suppressor/hider? Any preferred...

    As the title states, anyone have any preferences? I've got a .300 Norma coming and have a bunch of 5rd CIP length mags for it, just wondering what others are using? Currently looking at TYR Tactical, among others. Thanks

    ARD for Athlon Cronus Tactical

    Anybody know of an ARD for the Athlon Cronus Tactical spotter? I contacted Tenebraex as they don't currently list one but they said with thread and size specs perhaps they could recommend one. I emailed Athlon about the specs but never heard back. Anyone have a line on anything?

    Rifle Scopes Burris Eliminator 4

    Was just reading up on the specs of the new Eliminator 4 and it looks like a pretty cool piece of tech for what it is. I don't have any hands on experience with the older versions but they claim this one's onboard LRF is good to 2k yards, it displays distance and a 10mph wind hold for that...

    Nucleus and steel match ammo

    I have an early serial number Nucleus (I got in on the original pre-sale) and it's run flawlessly with over 5700rds of .223 and 1000+ 6 Creed since April (all handloads). I just tried some Hornady 75gr Steel Match in it as I can get it for the same price it costs me to reload with 75gr BTHPs and...

    mid-range spotters with reticle review/comparison

    Comparison of Minox MD60ZR 12-40X, Bushnell LMSS 8-40X and Athlon Cronus Tactical 7-42X spotting scopes Firstly, I’d like to preface this by saying that I’m no glass expert. All reviews/comparisons are somewhat subjective by nature and this one is no different. I do however shoot a lot of...

    Tripod scabbard for MR 3DAP

    Anyone running a tripod scabbard on a Mystery Ranch 3 Day Assault Pack? I've always just tucked 2 of the legs under the side strap and then all 3 legs into the side pocket. I upgraded from a PRST tripod to a Leofoto 404C which is way more stable for shooting but heavier and longer when...

    Ballhead/levelling base for hunting tripod

    I've gone through a few different tripod setups now and what I run for shooting matches is a Leofoto 404C with an Anvil-30 on it. About as stable as it gets (for someone like me too cheap to get the full RRS setup) but too heavy for hunting and honestly overkill as well. I'll be using an old...

    Shitty ES with H4831SC with 110SMKs in 6 Creed?

    I'm on my 3rd barrel (all 26") in 6 Creed. The previous 2 I ran H4350 in necked down Prime brass with 110SMKs and CCI BR2s. One barrel liked 42.3gr and the other liked 42.2. The 7.5 twist got 3050fps and the 8tw 3080. I decided to try H4831SC since it's sometimes a pain in the ass to source 8lbs...

    Kestrel 5700 and Sig Kilo 2400 BDX disconnecting often?

    I have my Kestrel 5700 Elite paired to my Sig Kilo 2400BDX and it's great being able to have my DOPE spit out in the LRF but I've been finding that the 2 devices seem to disconnect pretty quickly, like inside a couple minutes. Is there some way to make them stay connected for longer? I've taken...

    Recommend me a handguard for 6.5 creed Stag 10

    I'm building up a precision AR10 type rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. Because of the weirdness of gun laws up here in Canada I'm doing it on a Stag 10 stripped receiver set (means I can shoot it on public land not just at a range like most AR10s, go figure). 22" Proof SS barrel, Brownells bcg and...
