    Bartlein vs PVA Osprey

    I have a handful of PVA Osprey barrels, a couple of other brand barrels cut by PVA, and a Bartlein 6.5 SAUM built by LRI. I am not a competition shooter I just like nice rifles, having a very capable rifle for hunting and I like to tinker. There's almost no wrong answer .... well one that...

    Suppressors 338 Lapua capable can

    I'm in the market for a 338 Lapua rated suppressor. It will honestly see more 300BLK, 308, possibly a 338 federal than 338 Lapua but I have one in the safe that doesn't get much use because it's loud. Considering the YHM Bad Larry and the B&T vers36Ti. The B&T is really interesting and is...

    Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

    18" 6 creed shooting 58gr Vmax at a touch over 3800fps. It's one of the most destructive pdog rifle/load combo I have currently. I shot one yesterday at a bit over 200 yards and honestly there were parts and pieces everywhere in a 25' radius around it.

    Best caliber for big game at 400 plus yards

    Depending on the area. These guys would be very surprised to find out that trees exist. I'm still in the bigger is better, especially for people that are going to hunt elk once maybe twice in their lifetime. I get to hunt them every year and usually have two tags so I'm fine using smaller...

    Small varmint kills (the bastards!)

    Jackrabbit with a 300blk Her first confirmed gopher kill. She has caught several but usually make it back down the hole dragging their back end. She gave this one an impressive head shake and chomped down on its head..... So proud of herself

    Best caliber for big game at 400 plus yards

    I have used a lot of different calibers and cartridges to kill elk 6.8spc (close range) and 260 rem being the smallest 338 Lapua and 45 caliber smokeless muzzleloader being the largest. Several with my 6.5SS in the 350-550 yard range. 300wsm with 208 Amax and 338 Lapua with 230 eldx would be...

    Slow 308

    I really like bullets in 125-130gr range in 308 for killing things at closer range. I shooting 125gr Sierra Game Changers in one of my 20" 308s. I'll have my kids out this summer with it shooting pdogs.

    Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

    Headshot a pdog today at 143 yards with Armalite barrel carbine. Has a 2-7x Nikon on it and seems to shoot everything from 40gr to 77gr into about 1.5" at 100 right now and cycles everything I have tried in it. I'm pretty sure my optic and myself are the limiting factor on this thing. I'll...

    Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

    It's pretty cold out today but I shot some 77s though mine at 100 yards prone from a rest with bags. I think it's more accurate than this but with a 7x scope I shot 6 rounds into about 1.5" I haven't cleaned it yet and have about 150 rounds on it now. I think with some more testing itll do...

    Screaming Deals on Armalite Barrels

    I bought one last week to use as a do all carbine. I shot it today off a bag on the tailgate of my truck at 50 yards just to get the scope close. 55 fmjs shot pretty big but 69s looked like they want to shoot. I'll test 69s and 77s from the bench next time I go out. I ordered a Midwest blast...

    22creed/????

    +1 22 creed with a magnum powder and heavier bullets. My 26" 22 creed is doing 3225fps with an 85.5gr and N565. If you don't use slower powders for other things and your more in the Varget to h4350 range the 22 BR/BRA/Dasher with 80-90s might be a better fit

    Upgrading from Tikka CTR - 3 options want opinions

    I would 100% rebarrel. Look at the tools needed as an investment and it opens a lot of options in the future. It makes having a 18-20" barrel for a hunting rifle and a 26"+ maybe in a different caliber range gun a 10 minute job. One nice stock, one nice trigger, one nice optic and it's...
