    DTA SRS A1 Covert Muzzle Velocity/Realistic ELR Potential

    I've been digging through the DTA threads and Google for almost a week now with no luck, so I'm just gonna make my own thread... I've been reading through a lot of discussion on shorter barrels' effects on MV and potential capability, and I was wondering for those who've used/do use the...

    Good Tripod for Field Use

    I've been scanning the forums for a couple weeks now, and haven't seen a direct answer to what I'm looking for. I've come onto a good deal for a Leupold Mark 4 spotting scope, so I'm in need of a tripod. I've seen a heavy number of votes of confidence behind the Manfrotto carbon fiber units...

    Roedale vs Sako TRG

    My searches failed me, so I'll throw this up and hope to get some more great intel. So after many, many long months of waiting, I've grown tired of watching my Blaser gather dust while BATFE "processes" my Form 4, and have decided to get a muzzle brake for training purposes until I can collect...

    Rifle Scopes Badger Ring Issues

    Re: Badger Ring Issues Alright, final chapter to the saga. Got a set of Warne Tacticals, which were my original choice until I got talked into the Badgers. Mounted'em free hand, then checked with the torque wrench to see how I did. The Warne's require 25 in-lbs, well above the Badgers 12...

    Rifle Scopes Badger Ring Issues

    Re: Badger Ring Issues Zanshin, pyplynr: Hey, if they said in their instructions "You must have a torque wrench and set it at X and Y exactly!" I would have been in the truck in a heartbeat. I just spent $160 on these things, for a weapon that's running me close to $6000, you think I want...

    Rifle Scopes Badger Ring Issues

    Re: Badger Ring Issues Update: So, I reset the scope, following Badger Ordnance's instructions to the letter (well, I didn't use a torque wrench to know the exact pressure but it gives steps on how to do it without that) and took it out. Barely got off 10 shots and it was sliding again...

    Rifle Scopes Badger Ring Issues

    Re: Badger Ring Issues Bacarrat- I know, right? :p Boltripper- I'm sans surgical gloves right now, so I went ahead and remounted, heading out tomorrow anyways to put in some work, you know proper work, but if it tries this again, I'm heading straight to the local pharmacy. And if it works...

    Rifle Scopes Badger Ring Issues

    Alright, I'm sure I'm gonna get flamed for being a boot here, but my search of the site didn't yield much help. After EVERYONE beat it home that I had to have Badger Ordnance rings, I broke down and bought a set. Whew, impressive. Got'em rigged up on my big ol' .338 and took it out to zero...

    Suppressors SRT Shadow LM Ti, Anybody Use?

    I'm looking at getting my first suppressor. After reading a review of the original SRT Shadow LM, I've decided it's the one I want. However, at 41 oz. it's a heavy thing. They have a titanium version that is 19 oz. with metric threads like I need, however I've been reading that having a...

    Attach Drag Bag To ALICE

    Re: Attach Drag Bag To ALICE The MOLLE will work, I'm not sure if that would be quite stable enough though, but I am curious about how you would make it so it buckles to the ruck. Off Topic, did you serve in 2/7 or was Huhn just a friend?

    Attach Drag Bag To ALICE

    Hi all, I'm trying to decide on a drag bag. I want something that I can attach to an ALICE pack. Looking for recomendations. And before everyone starts, Yes, thank you all, I know about Eberlestock, I know about Mystery Ranch. Don't want them. I got an ALICE cheap, rigged it up with all new...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Bottomed Out

    Hey all, Got a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x 56 on a Blaser .338 Lapua, and its bottomed out and still high at the hundred. I'd rather zero there cuz that's how the Corps trained me to do the math, so lookin' for some solutions. Would a taller set of rings help? Thanks.
