    Night Vision Looking for a scope for cyotes

    Loggers Inn, Like I said earlier, I don't know anything about NV equipment. I was hoping to find something to mount behind my EO Tech or a stand alone gen.2+. My budget as a LEO just won't allow for the set up you have. What is the D-740 I'm reading about on these posts? BTW, I'm North of you in...

    Night Vision Looking for a scope for cyotes

    Thanks rotortuner for your reply. Here is the problem. For once in the few times in my life I'm trying to research a subject that I know absolutely nothing about. It's not like you can go to your local sporting goods store and actually do a hands on comparison. I have to trust the knowledge of...

    Night Vision Looking for a scope for cyotes

    I'm in the same boat as the original poster knowing nothing about what I need, other that I need something NOW! A few nights ago, 3 yotes got with-in 50 yards of my house and tried to have my prize beagle/rabbit dog & good buddy for dinner. The only thing that saved him was 5 rapid shots of #4...

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    If you go to Bryan Litz's book, you will find a section about bullet yaw. Long range shooters call it "having the bullet go to sleep". As I said in my previous post, the load that shoots 1 MOA at 100 yds. very well shoot .5 MOA at 300. I haven't experienced this as I'm still waiting on my first...

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    Thanks for the response. I've heard from several sources that shooting BT bullets can cause a yawing effect resulting in a baffle strike. This made sense to me as a long range shooter because the groups that are poor at 100 yds. but have a low extreme spread will generally shoot well at 1,000...

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    I'm very new to this forum and trying to obtain all the knowledge I can. I've already ordered my 1st can and have a question for the OP. Were the bullets that you were shooting at the time of failure of a boat tail design? Thanks, Lloyd

    Help: Newbie needs some advice

    Maybe I should say I'm a "newbie" to this forum and the type of shooting and related equipment used. I'm no stranger to shooting as I compete out to 1,000 yds. sling/prone on a regular basis. I'm putting the finishing touches on a 300 Blackout build and for the last week, I have read articles...

    Newbie here: Is the 30 BR a good round to supress?

    I’m really new to the suppressed game, so all the advice I can get is greatly appreciated. I have a Rem. 700 short action with a .473 boltface. It’s currently chambered in .308 but the bbl. is getting really long in the tooth. So I’m thinking about re-barreling it with a 1-8’ twist and...

    New to the sub-sonic game

    Another member suggested that I post here to get more useful info, so here is where I'm at so far. OK, things look like they are moving along at a good pace. I have now located the proper bolt for my receiver and a barrel is nothing but a phone call, now where do I find a reamer. I like the...

    Newbie needs answers

    Re: Newbie needs answers OK, things look like they are moving along at a good pace. I have now located a bolt for my receiver and a barrel is nothing but a phone call, now where do I find a reamer. I like the idea of the "blackout" but I don't feel like paying full price just to chamber one...

    Newbie needs answers

    Re: Newbie needs answers I should have been a little more in depth. I have a complete rifle with a scope, all I'm going to need is a bolt with the proper face on it, a barrel and dies. What does everyone use for dies? Also, don't I need a trim die to do the 1st forming?

    Newbie needs answers

    I would like to build a 300-221/300 whisper. I have a Rem. rt. handed action but the boltface is .473, and a bunch of 223 W-W brass. Other than that, I'm at ground zero. I'll be using a 1-8'twist bbl. with a can but I would like any info anyone can provide for everything else I need to get this...

    Suppressors 30 BR, is it a good choice for a suppressed round

    Re: 30 BR, is it a good choice for a suppressed round AKA-Spook, I'll probably run a 22" bbl. so I'm not fighting a muzzle heavy rifle. This will be a dedicated system, so I'm not overly concerned with the ability to shoot an elk "way out yonder". 220 gr. bullets still deliver 450+ ft. lb...

    Suppressors 30 BR, is it a good choice for a suppressed round

    Re: 30 BR, is it a good choice for a suppressed round Thanks for all the data. I think I'll stick with the 30BR, that way I can always just swap it over to my 308 if I want to. Same bolt face as the 308, and I have plenty of 30 cal. bullets sitting around.

    Suppressors 30 BR, is it a good choice for a suppressed round

    Hello all, I'm new to the world of suppressors and wondered if anyone has suppressed the 30 BR cartridge. It has a low powder capacity and given the correct twist should shoot 220 gr. bullets well. It is on of the top BR cartridges, and uses a SR primer. It would also be a lot simpler to make...
