    The evolution of the 300 Blackout - great day at the range with Blackarc Munitions and Hornady

    12.5" Grendel vs 12.5" BO = both are now 110 gr @ ~2,400 FPS, same same with the new case tech. The Grendel is my favorite of the group, but I'm hoping the 300 redeems itself out to say 150 yards with the new ammo. Do believe replacing bolts like oil filters is wise regardless, every 2,000 -...

    The evolution of the 300 Blackout - great day at the range with Blackarc Munitions and Hornady

    Never worried about the 300 for quiet, was always looking for 30 cal punch from a compact rifle. Truth be told, from a semi auto, it isn't all that quiet anyway.

    The evolution of the 300 Blackout - great day at the range with Blackarc Munitions and Hornady

    I'm in almost the same place. Heard too many thwaps on shots that felt like they should be terminal but resulted in gottaways with the 300. The Grendel is for sure better but still have a few that have made it into the brush, but about like the 6.8. 308 best... with that said, I'm giving the...

    Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt - Updated 9/30 with third hunt

    A) Annex now has thumb screws that are quick-er release B) Brilliant point on the ability to put the Annex on a QD riser - as long as you have the same height on the optic, same same. I think/hope the thumb screws are an adequate fix.

    3x magnifiers

    That is why I like the old, original 3x Aimpoint - good relief, clear glass. I've been tempted by the sexiness of design re: the unity mount, but over the years, in practice I've often rolled the gun over so I could see/spot through the 3X without the dot and extra coated lenses that are taking...

    3x magnifiers

    Super expensive is relative to purpose and frequency of use. If you're gonna use a dot and like the 1-4x concept, hard to beat if the glass is good.

    3x magnifiers

    300 Blk falls off a cliff past 200, even using the new hot ammo and a 12.5" bbl. If you have a single point of reference, it's gonna be rough. Depending on your eyes, your dot choice, your settings and time frames - a 2 MOA dot can do God's work out to 200 if you can... But, magnifier will...

    The Aimpoint Duty is pretty mid

    How is it more master than the Comp M5? I've had a T1, T2, and Comp M4s, Comp M5 and kept the M5, sold the rest. But, all I do is kill pigs and occasionally other animals. Do enjoy the M5 with the original Aimpoint 3x, that is what rides on my house rifle.

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    I am curious to see the heat cycle results - would be most interesting side by side with say a similar Craddock and maybe a short fat 10.5" Noveske - But, I bet it will hold sub MOA for at least 10 rounds once broken in

    Woox customer service sucks

    Update - after some emailing back and forth, they have agreed to swap it out and said they're sending something extra for the trouble.
