    Need M22 TCM 9mm Conversion Experienced Gunsmith

    Id probably buy two. Seen those couple 9mm glock mag GAP rifles in the classifieds a while back and ive never been right since. Catsmasher I think it was lol. Could have some of the details wrong but damn it was cool. Would be amazing for small game and suppressor use. Definitely wish this was...

    New Home Defense Rifle Suggestions

    I've had good luck with bcm for the cost, and I like them very much! A braced 300blk, 10 inch barrel with a nice mid size can would fit the bill perfectly i think if you have access to the Barnes 110 black tips. Some sort of 9mm pcc may fit the bill too. Short handy and fits in a laptop bag is...

    Post your sub sonic .308 loads?

    Good thing about the heavy cast is they are stubby usually. Don't think that sleak smk profile is as effective at 950fps, and certainly not much gain at "NORMIE" subsonic ranges inside 75 yards. A 250 cast is a good bit easier to stabilize than a 208 amax or 220smk etc. Not sure in your twist...

    Best caliber for big game at 400 plus yards

    .338 makes stuff more deader faster if you are comfortable with it and can carry it. I'd take something I am damn familiar with for a big trip, something that gets shot a lot... not the safe queen with 1 ride a year on her. I'd think most any of the popular rounds will do the job just fine if...

    Post your sub sonic .308 loads?

    As mentioned titegroup is worth a look. Hodgdon even suggests it and had posted load data these days. Easy to find too. I'd probably start there were I you. Lotta variability here between barrels and bullets. Couple ways to go about it... light bullet and tiny powder charge, say a 90g xtp or...

    Light bullets in 6.5 creedmoor

    Those 100 eldvt are pretty fun... no serious use data on them yet though. Groupings are plenty adequate for practical use and 2 coyotes, one at 375ish yards and one at about 200 liked them. No exit on either, pudding inside rib cage.

    If THE bill passes… what semi-auto shotgun for SBS?

    I like the little sorta shotguns for this role. Just drop a stock on and done, no barrel cutting or anything like that. Rem tac 13 was very nice, but seems like they are hard to find now for some reason. Mossberg makes their pump ones, shockwave and a newer semi auto supposedly based on their...

    Vortex 2-10 PST vs 1-10 Razor

    I like those 2.5 10 vortex pst scopes as well. Very nice bang for the buck and good features! Don't think I really have any complaints and I've used them since the early gen ones. I do like the adjustable parallax for closer shooting as well as further out. A lot of scopes with similar features...

    Direct thread can backs off

    I shoot direct thread mostly. Have had good luck with shoot it hot, and tighten a bit with wrench, strap, glove etc. I've also had a bit of blue lock tight work too, at least short term, but not a fan Guess it depends on your firing sequences a lot. If hot and tight don't work, some sort of...

    Canadian Ranger rifles in the Arctic need replacements, don’t work in the cold

    I like the laminate stock, but you'd think this would be something to easily test and engineer before you field all the rifles lol? Just seems damn sloppy to me.

    Best brace ?

    The a5 with metal catch works well for the price if you are buffer tubed.

    New Home Defense Rifle Suggestions

    A braced bcm daniel defense, lmt, hell or even a psa will do fine. 300blk, 8 or 10 inch barrel. Supersonic black tip barnes projectiles at 2100ish fps. Put a decent suppressor, light, red dot, and a nice quick adjust sling and you're in business. If you want more ammo versatility, go for a 5.56...

    30-06 varget and Hornady 176gr Atip

    Have used plenty of varget for 3006 when it's what I had... slower powder is your friend as said above! Varget did fine for me with 178 amax and 175 and 168 smk pulls. Not optimal, but plenty good for steel inside 500, probably more from how mine did. Main downside was leaving free velocity...
