Night Vision Helmet Mounted Thermal

Looking for some suggestions on a helmet mounted thermal for detection 100-600 yards, hogs/coyote. USA company only.

Shooting with a PVS-30 so looking mainly for detection kicked back in a blind hunting, but somewhat interested if it can be also mounted as an optic for a buddy rifle.

One I considered already is Nox-35 since I am mainly scanning pretty long ranges, anyone mount this on a helmet for hands free scanning when stationary or is this heavy as hell for that?

Any other suggestions thank you!

BROWNING ARMS MODEL 1886 HIGH GRADE LEVER ACTION

This is a High Grade Browning model 1886 Carbine, a reproduction of the original Winchester which was designed by John Browning. This modern reproduction has the same action and was produced as a limited edition with only 3,000 High Grade rifles. This would also make a nice hunting rifle that could take just about any game in North America, but would probably make a better safe queen in its high condition and given that only 3,000 were made. Last one sold at auction for $3775.

NRL Hunter General Registration

I shot a match early last year and looking to do another this year as I enjoyed it. Last year I thought a membership was required, but maybe I missed something. It appears there is an early registration for members and a general registration for non-members? So I can go forego the membership fee and just take my chances on getting in with the late registration...is that correct?

Bullet Diameter vs Velocity

If 2 bullets have the same weight but different diameters, does one have a higher velocity over the other? For example: 6ARC vs 6.5 Grendel or 22CM vs 6CM or 6CM vs 6.5CM. I think I read somewhere that the larger diameter bullet would have a higher velocity assuming all other variables were equal (barrel length, charge weight, etc.). Can someone help explain this?

RIA TM22 rimfire accuracy for us poors

Login to view embedded media
This may not only be the cheapest semi-auto 22LR currently available nationally, but it may be the most accurate semi-auto 22LR under $500? Rock Island Armory (RIA) is best known for producing Philippine made budget priced, reliably built, pistols and revolvers. I’ve heard they produce the most 1911 pistols in the world. Recently they’ve been expanding into shotguns and now the rifles. RIA lent me their TM22 to test out.

The TM22 is 22LR, semi-automatic, blowback rifle is a proprietary design produced by Derya of Turkey. It follows the general shape of an AR pattern rifle. It is compatible with AR-type grips and stocks. The receiver is made of 7075 aircraft grade aluminum. It has an MLok compatible AR handguard and is topped with a receiver length Picatinny rail.

At the rear of the receiver is a castle nut which accepts MilSpec AR buffer tubes. The model I was sent uses a non-standard fixed metal stock affixed to a fluted tube. The TM22’s action is direct blowback with a recoil spring entirely contained in the receiver. It comes in either a 20″ or 18″ barrel that is free floated in an M-Lok handguard which looks similar to an AR but which has a locking bolt on top, which connects it to the upper receiver. Some models are available with more M16A2 style furniture like an A2-esque carry handle, 2-piece round handguard, and A-frame front sight.

The TM22 comes with a pair of 10-round polymer magazines which look similar to CZ-455/457 magazines but are unfortunately proprietary.
The TM22 has a last round hold open which is also its functional bolt hold open. The bolt only stays open with an empty magazine inserted. The rifle has a left side charging handle but no bolt catch other than keeping an empty mag in the magwell. Once the mag is removed, the bolt slides closed. The rifle includes a uniquely designed chamber flag that allows the bolt to be dropped on it after pulling the bolt, to permit function checks and dry firing the trigger.

The trigger is flat faced with a light trigger pull of about 2.5lbs. In live fire testing, we found the rifle easy to shoot and surprisingly accurate. Our testing as conducted at 25yrds and 50yrds proved it shoots 1.5-2inch sized groups at 50yrds with inexpensive Armscor 22LR ammo. We had about a dozen stove pipes and FTF malfunctions were due to the ammo.

My 457 WMR Reborn

When I purchased my 457 about 3 years ago I was shocked by what I knew was hiding beneath the thick, heavy slathering of that dark brown mud CZ just loves to coat their factory wood stocks with. I immediately wanted to remove it to see how beautiful the wood really was. But, having not ever fully stripped a rifle stock before and not positively knowing what type of finish it was I didnt want to make a mess of it so I just left it alone. Every time I took it out to shoot though I always had the deep desire to make it look nicer.
Now Im not unfamiliar with woodworking or applying a finish, Im a wooden shipwright by trade and also make some very nice furniture and have messed around with wood and woodworking pretty much since childhood.
Finally I just decided to jump in and do it, this is the result.
