    Lightweight 3x base mag thermal?

    The NocPix Slim H35 has a 3.5x. It's a Chinese unit but 18 oz, the price is right and I've seen some pretty amazing images form Chinese cores. NocPix Slim H35

    Lightweight 3x base mag thermal?

    My Trijicon Reap 35 2 has a 2.5x base which I believe is the same as the Nox35. I find it a good magnification at the distances you are discussing. I have no issue using out to 300 yards but most of my kills are 150-200.

    Need some advice on 6.8/Grendel SBR barrel length

    I went with a 12.5 Grendel. Barrel is Proof CF. I'm shooting Cavity Back Bullets factory loads 105 Grain at 2477fps. I set this up as my walk around daytime hunting rifle for hogs, deer, coyote on 200acre ranch in South Carolina and have a separate rig set up for night time Thermal. I did...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    I get 2700 with 105 CBB MKZ factory ammo out of an 18 inch proof cf Grendel. Extremely lethal on deer,hogs and coyotes.

    Suppressors Which HUB mount

    I've been direct thread for 5+ years and I am slowly switching over to Rearden. Lock up that doesn't loosen, no empty threaded rifles hanging around the safe waiting for crowns to get nicked, sacrificial baffle of comp, etc. Just seems like a better idea.

    BIFL rifle - 3 options

    All great rifles but I would grab the LMT so I could easily swap out the barrel and bolt to 6ARC or 6.5 Grendel. If it's purely for 5.56 I think the KAC is the more elegant solution. On a seperate note A Geissele would be a great option also and for me a G 6mm Arc 14.5 would be tits. Plus You...

    I only saw the Bob Leisure one. Everywhere else is 3K which is still a deal for that kind of performance.

    Coyote Hunting Chest Rig

    I built my own starting with a Tactical Tailor Mini Chest Rig. This is for hogs, coyote, deer etc. Since I use multiple rifles / calibers I wanted to accommodate large and small frame gas gun mags as well as AICS/AW. I also wanted a AFAK w/ TQ, LRF, Thermal scanner with power bank, knife...
