    Tripod Help

    This was my first tripod https://www.nightgoggles.com/shop/shooting-tripods/tripods/night-stalker-pro-shooting-tripod-ball-head/ before eventually upgrading to a RRS with Anvil 30 head. I was very happy with it but didn't really know what I was missing until I got the RRS setup. It is lighter...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    We were just in Mrytle Beach for 10 days. Got home at 0400 this morning. I went by PSA twice and was able to get 4 of the Dagger Slick magazines. Unfortunately I can get them shipped to my home in Maryland or would buy the 10 pack that is currently on sale with PSA.

    Suppressors Multi-cal choices

    I have the Griffin Bushwhacker Gen 2 and am happy with it. I run it on my .338LM, 9MM PCC, and a 450 Bushmaster I just bought. A dedicated 9mm may be quieter for the PCC but I do like the versatility of the can. I use AREA 419 suppressor adapters on each rifle.

    Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

    What about a Ruger American? I had a Ruger American Compact in 243 with an 18" barrel. I had it threaded for a suppressr. It was inexpensive and very accurate. I sold it to my nephew last year and replaced it with a 6.8 SPC II AR.

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

    We switched from QD push buttons to snap hooks or HK hooks years ago at work after a couple of us had the QD buttons get pushed when climbing or repelling in training. I dropped a brand new Scar over 20ft onto concrete when climbing over the edge of a roof on a burglary. Suspect climbed to the...

    Accessories 3d printed mag flags

    Can you do the 10-22 style for .22WSM or .17 HMR but with the shock cord for a bolt action rifle?

    Ultrasonic cleaners

    I use boretech C4 carbon remover or rimfire blend. I place the baffles in a heat seal bag with the cleaning solution. Drop that in The US cleaner filled with distilled water for about 30 minutes.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns I think I want a new range belt but don't know which one

    I use a Blue Force Gear Grid Belt https://www.blueforcegear.com/grid-battle-belt. I got it for work initially. I use the included inner belt as my everyday belt for everything except when I have to wear a suit. I have had it a little over 2 years with no complaints. The curved shape of the belt...

    I picked up the stainless steel version of that for my son a week before he was born. I ordered it as soon as we found out we were having a boy.

    Bench setup and workflow help

    I run 2 of the recessed plates. I wish I had done one as a short riser. There are times wish I had little. Kre height. They also stick out from the bench a couple inches. Not a big deal but I have hit the corner with my elbow a couple times.

    Ring on bullet

    So I went ahead and ordered an L. E. Wilson expander die and mandrel as well as a case gage. They are on the way. I will see what the expander mandrel does and go from there. I wanted the Sinclair Gen 2 expander die and mandrel but they have been out of stock for a while. I have a feeling I will...
