    Do I need match ammo at 100 yards? Or is it a waste of money?

    You’ll never know what the rifle will do or you will do with bulk ammo. My “precision” ar will shoot frontier 77gr match sub moa the majority of the time and my 73gr hand loads very well. It groups in inches with any bulk ammo. Cheap ammo is for 2-3 MOA steel fun and that’s still somewhat...

    what is the hides opinion on ballistic advantage barrels

    WOA is not a whole lot more in price and they are pretty much a sure thing. I’m sure there are a few duds out there, but every WOA barrel I’ve used for the past 10 years, through old owner and new, has been a sub MOA barrel.

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    I’ve got one action with a proof 6CM and another action with a proof 6 dasher. Good actions for me, nothing a single issue with them at all.

    NICS delay

    I’m a delay, always have been. Typically the full 5 days and then I just pick it up. I got a CCL for probably 14 years, let it lapse because it doesn’t really matter anymore. Now I’m back to the constant 5 day delay. I also have suppressors etc with no issues from ATF, it’s just NICS. I quit...

    Recommend me a muzzle device

    I run a PVA jet blast on my 20” that I use for longer range steel. I have zero complaints with it but I’m not concussion sensitive like some people are I guess. I run hellfires or APA’s on all my bolt guns from 6 dasher to 6.5 prc and I don’t notice any concussion from them.

    Poll: Single-Stage or Two-Stage Trigger for NRL/PRS Rimfire?

    Personal preference, I’ve never had a 2 stage that I liked. The only one I have left is a TT diamond in a 20” AR. All my others use TT diamond single stages. I like the feel better for me personally. Use whatever works better for you.

    "The Creed" powder by shooters world

    I’m almost out of my stash of rl16 I built up in 2019. Grafs has no hazmat no shipping right now so I grabbed 8lbs. We shall see how it does.

    Which 18” 5.56 Barrel

    Out of that list I’ve had 3 WOA’s, all have been sub MOA and solid barrels. I have had 1 since the change in ownership and it was that same, shot great right out of the box.

    Seeing a 22lr in flight

    I’m in east Texas, most of my shooting is in that general area with some matches further west now and then. We have a ton of humidity, seeing a 22 in flight is pretty much every shot at 100 yards and further and honestly you can see them at 50 if the sun is right and the background is white.

    Burris XRT III pricing

    Same, I’d pick a Cronus over scopes a lot more expensive until you get to S3/G3’s and even a couple in that price range. It’s hard to beat. I’ve got MK5HD’s I’m disappointed I bought because the one Cronus I have is really just better in every way except slightly more CA and a slightly duller...

    Aero Solus stock barrel change is absolute war

    I’ve only had 1 of their BA’s but mine was NOT like that at all. Slapped her in the vice and it broke free with expected pressure. Sucks because I’ve definitely had some in the past I think they used rockset on when they torqued it lol. Definitely no fun.

    Rifle to shoot Cutting Edge 50 Grain 22LR

    Personally, I’d buy a recoil spring pack for the 10/22, take the 10 minutes to run through the springs and see what cycles properly with your ammo, and move on. You’re headed down a rabbit hole that’s gonna cost a fortune to whack some crows that you can already do for about 14.95 plus shipping.

    B14r Ring Height?

    Same, I won’t buy anything less than 1.50. That’s why we have adjustable stocks. There is nothing worse than buying some wives tale advice about height over bore and slamming your scope so low that you have to shove the stock through your cheek bone to get into the eye box. Buy tall enough rugs...

    Silly Vudoo scope rail question

    Vudoo stamps scope base numbers on the back of the base. Look there, should tell you all you need to know. But thinner in the front is the correct way.
