    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    Nah, I don't really care. Each suppressor purchase is an individualistic choice that is made up of trade-offs. If for one person that means achieving the lowest possible dB's over everything else, by all means. I don't really care how one chooses to skin this cat. What suppressor one buys and...

    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    How I would interpret that is that when it comes to AR-15's and suppressing them, there's other objectives that should take higher priority than just pure suppression/dB reduction.

    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    I use an Abel Biscuit with my AR-15's. They definitely have less back pressure than a SiCo Omega, another can I've used on the same rifles. Quality is top notch. Sound suppression is pretty good for being a shorter can. The guys are Abel are awesome. I'm using a .30 cal version of the Biscuit...

    Alternative choice to push-button sling loops on bolt guns?

    The QD flush cup system is incredibly poorly designed. If you use them in any sort of a "hard use" environment, they will eventually fail. HK hooks are noisy. I have no experience with the Magpul paraclips, they seem interesting. I'm sure there's much better ways to attach a sling to a rifle.

    Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

    This is the trick with shorter barrels. I have an 18" 6.5 CM barrel, and 123 Scenars go ~2850 fps (reloaded). Factory Hornady 140's are about 2500 fps.

    PCP reliability and accuracy/precision

    In my experience with PCP guns (I have 3 of them), it's not a matter of IF you are going to have a leak, it's WHEN. A lot of these PCP rifles have dozens of o-rings, and they can be a pain in the ass to troubleshoot. I have a Taipan Veteran that developed a leak a couple of years ago, spent...

    Iran go boom

    I think this is the case. Even before this operation was commenced, there was numerous reports coming out talking about how the admin was very cautious about using bunker busters as there was a lot of doubt they would get the job done. Trump likely performed the operation anyways to appease...
