    The Fix by Q in 6mm Creedmoor with Proof Research barrel. Ultra rare and hard to find. *BACK UP*

    They are $3600-3900 new with the Proof research barrels, if you can find them in stock somewhere. I've never seen a 6mm Creed one before. You can't just buy the barrel either, Q isn't selling them right now and they are the only source for the barrel extension.

    Anyone shipped a rifle recently, ups or fedx best ?

    I've used Fedex and UPS several times in the past year. They all get there the same. I'd look at pricing and how far you are from their shipping facilities (they don't take them at their UPS Stores or Fedex/Kinkos.) I've never used USPS, but I imagine it is the same.

    Howa vs Tikka Action

    They supposedly discontinued it, though you can still get it at Brownells for now.

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action Build

    No. You might find a used one that somebody re-barreled, but they don't sell them in that caliber in mini or short action.

    Rifle Scopes Any experience with USO B10 or other optics with low end magnification

    If you are willing to consider SFP scopes, I'd look at the Trijicon Accupower 3-9x40. I use one of those on the AR10 I hunt with. It has a simple TMR style reticle available, it has illumination and at only 17 ounces you couldn't get much lighter. It is also way cheaper than your budget. If you...

    Rifle Scopes Any experience with USO B10 or other optics with low end magnification

    I've not used the B10, but it sure does look nice. For the specs you listed, I'd consider the Nightforce 2.5-10 scopes. I'd also strongly consider the Bushnell LRTSi 3-12x44. They have a 30% rebate going on for just about every scope Bushnell makes right now. That scope is already in your budget...

    Suppressors Gemtech = No customer service.

    Yes, S&W bought Gemtech. Now the former owners are suing S&W.

    Handguards- M-Lok vs Key Mod?

    Keymod vs M-Lok is the VHS vs Beta Max of the gun world. Proponents of Keymod say it is easier to install accessories and since it is open source it should theoretically cost less. Proponents of M-Lok say it is stronger, looks better and doesn't resemble tiny penises, which they worry will turn...

    Suppressors Hybrid min barrel for 300BLK?

    Silencerco needs to update their barrel length document online. OP, several people at arfcom called SiCo to get the answers: 8" for 300BLK supersonic and subsonic. https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/SilencerCo_hybrid_minimum_barrel_length_restrictions_/20-475649/...

    Rifle Scopes First FFP scope! 6.5 Grendel build

    I have the 3-12 and 4.5-18 Bushnell LRHSi on ARs, which I also use for hunting. If you use the lower magnifications often, I really like the little "circle of death" that helps compensate for the thinness of the reticle. They have a great lifetime warranty too. If the Ares has been out when I...

    Do you have to get a code for each suppressor you purchase or just one code for the whole order?

    Kick-Azz Headlamp...

    I ordered a Coast FL85 after reading some good reviews of it on camping websites. 540 lumen max and uses AAA batteries. 2 hour runtime on max, which is pretty good for AAAs. Also has a red LED, which I like for walking to my tree stand in the dark...
