Is lvl 4 armor worth it?

Researching plate carriers/armor and of course I want the best, so I jump to lvl 4 and looking at all the plates offered and got to thinking...

Sure, itll stop m2AP, but......... thats a lot of fucking energy hitting you.. a lot. Yeah, you wont have a hole in you, but 100% its going to put you on your ass instantly, now you're on the ground, with most likely enternal injuries/bleeding... Are you as good as dead, or atleast laying there, wishing you were dead after getting hit by a armor piercing freight train?

So two years ago I bought 16 acres in rural West Virginia just so I could have someplace to shoot.

So a couple of years ago I bought some wild land in WV just to have someplace to shoot. Most of the property is vertical but there's enough level ground to have a really decent range. You only have to Bush Hog it a few times a year otherwise mother nature will overgrow it while you watch.
A few months back I got tired of the heat and the bugs and having to douse myself in bug repellant. I went and bought a nice on-sale, pre-built shed and dropped it on the only truly level spot within 15 miles. I then insulated the walls, got a 10,000 btu air conditioner, cut a hole in the short wall, and framed it in. I then made a box to put over it in a likely vain attempt to disguise, hide and secure it. So far no one has stolen it. Of course, they could just as easily haul off the whole shed. If they could find it. I'm probably wrong about that. I'm sure every local knows exactly where all the noise comes from. I expect anytime to show up and see big purple dicks spray painted all over it and everything gone including the insulation but so far so good.
I power it, and everything else by a Generac 7500 generator that I take with me in the bed of my pickup truck. I just backup to the shed and plugin. They'll likely strip out the wire I put in too, now that I think about it but so far, so good. I didn't buy the Generac for this, I had it because I lose power at my home every time a sparrow farts.
I can now shoot in air-conditioned comfort, on a nice shooting bench made into the long wall below the window. When I told my buddies about it they all laughed...until we all got together like we usually do. Guys were fighting for the window seat. It was a 93-degree day and the humidity was so high it was like a sauna outside. There are now plans to expand the window and bench wall. I don't have to do a thing or pay for a thing. All I have to do is say OK.
The only downside to any of this is that I have to drive about 2-1/2 hours to get there.

Precision Underground Rear Bags Videos and Info- Reactivated Discount Code-

Update- 2/2023 We are caught up after the holiday chaos and I can't thank everyone enough for the support. Discount code DontFallForTheKnockoff is back up for 10% off rear bags 🤙 As always, if you get a bag from us you're buying your perfect bag. We'll adjust it or swap it out until it does exactly what you want it to do.


If you're new to the hide check out one of our early threads for a primer on our bags. We started in a garage with a walmart sewing machine and a distain for rear bags that have no design intent.



Updated fill demo video to show how our fill is different-

Tips on working the rear bag-
We’ve had a few guys ask about adjusting the bags because the locking full squeezes a little differently than a standard polymer bead fill. If you’re used to just squeezing the bag around to aim, the video will point out a few tweaks that will make for easy adjustment and also explain why the adjustment will actually help you in the long run 🤙🏻

Original post-
What’s up fam! Not much time for posting lately as we’ve been slammed but as always we appreciate all the support!

We’ve got a new bag coming out that is going to be the culmination of 4 years of testing, thousands of bags made, and feedback from you. I constantly get asked whether the Pro or the Rx is better and it’s hard to answer. Then it dawned on me to just design one that takes the best of both bags and rolls it into one. I’ll give some backstory and info below but if you’d rather cut to the chase the link to the bag is below.



I’ll do a quick rundown to show what the difference will be from our two most popular bags.

ELRx-
Our first bag was the ELRx. This bag was much different than what was on the market 3-4 years ago because we filled it fairly full and it uses our locking fill that really keeps your stock in place. This was an outlier in rear bags at a time when everyone else was talking about making 1/2 full bags with slippery beads so you could easily steer the stock. We went in the opposite direction as we don’t feel like steering the rifle with the bag makes any sense fundamentally. I see some folks entering the game now and talking about “stuffing” bags tightly as if it’s revolutionary and they came up with it…..I have to laugh bc they're missing an important part of the equation. Don’t be fooled by imitators. The ELRx is still our best seller for a reason.

ELR Pro-
Not everyone likes a firm bag. We sent some bags to Frank/lowlight a while back and he wanted less fill/more empty space to be able to squeeze the stock through the bag. We went back-and-forth until we figured out what fill level he likes and the ELR Pro was born. This bag is slightly bigger than the Rx but there’s more empty space inside the bag to allow your support hand to pinch the stock and do more of the work. This is great for pinchers bc you get the control without fighting slippery beads in a loose bag. We also added an adjustable strap on the short side to allow better hand placement in that orientation. If you like to pinch the rifle with your thumb and forefinger on the support hand this is the bag for you. I do try to stress to people that just because Frank uses it doesn’t mean it’s the bag you need. Our opinion is that most shooters are better off with a bag that is more full and I think a lot of people are coming around to that now.

The New Guy- The F1-
The new bag is going to bring the best of both worlds. It takes features from both the Rx and the Pro as well as adding some other tweaks/adjustments. It’s slightly more slim and we’ve adjusted the ratio in our filler to be more stable than ever. Both straps will have adjustability so you can loosen them or tighten them to get the feel you want. We’ve made and tested a lot of bags over the years and I can tell you this is going to be at the top of the food chain. As always it comes with free adjustments and a satisfaction guarantee.


If you already run one of our bags and love it I’m not saying you should run out and buy this one. By all means we’d love to sell you one, but I want to be clear this is not a product born of marketing or a need to just sell more bags. It won’t be wildly different from the Rx or the Pro but the adjustments and additions to tweak the design and bridge the gap between the two. I feel like it’s the best bag we’ve made 100%. It will be available in coyote and BMC only at this time because there’s something about those fabrics that have a great feel. This bag is designed to be the best rear bag we can make and that’s going to go all the way down to the feel of the fabric.

Accessories WTS McMillan and HS Precision stocks - price drop

After a lot of flipping around, I finally ordered an HTG and as I don't think I really need three stocks for the same rifle, I am offering up these two.

McMillan U-3 short action (universal for Remington 700 and clones). Universal version of the A-3. If you like the ease of chassis bolt-in but want a fiberglass stock then this is your jam. This has a straight edge so it works for whatever ejection port you are rocking. The barrel width is 1.25" so bring your truck axel pipes. No damage, pic rail on the bottom with a flush cup, more cups left front and left rear plus one more on the bottom rear, adjustable via clamp wheel cheek, M5 DBM inlet, and adjustable length of pull.
$720 $670 $640 shipped cont U.S. PP f&f or you cover the fee.

SOLD - HS Precision take-off from a Sendero Remington 700 short action. This is a catch and release. Unmolested BDL inlet, double studs up front, one in rear, Remington branded butt pad, and a barrel channel that I measured at 1.238".

Sidearms & Scatterguns Concealed or semi concealed carry options for backpacking

I have been struggling with carrying while backpacking since I decided to go away from my G42. I would like to move to a larger frame gun (like a P320 / G19 size gun). I am carrying a multi day pack / load so I have a hip belt on the pack that is tight which blocks access to a belt carry in all but appendix, which worked fine for the small G42 but a larger frame gun is kinda in the way and starts to chafe after a while.

I don’t need the fastest access, but I don’t want it in my pack either. A drop leg rig would be ideal but I do see other people on the trail, so that is out. Let me know how you do it.

If it helps I am a very thin guy, so there isn’t much padding on me.
