    Vortex 1-10

    one thing I am waiting on that might be "similar" would be something like the EoTech 3-9x32 with a red dot for close up work. Small, light, compact, and if they built a 3-10x32 or even a 4-12 compact with illumination, FFP and the right reticle (and good glass, I haven't read much about the...

    Henry SPD Hush vs Marlin Dark 1895

    I have thought of looking for another 71 just to do a conversion to 500 Alaskan but I don't really shoot my 348 much either, so I put it on the back burner. and as mentioned, I think a 500S&W lever gun would be fun. Big Horn Armory is doing some cool stuff. Maybe with the SBR and NFA tax going...

    Henry SPD Hush vs Marlin Dark 1895

    I've had my Marlin (Ruger) Dark for a bit over a year now. 45-70. running a dead air primal on it, put a Leupold FX-II 2.5x scout scope on it with low ARC M10 rings, Timney trigger. Really like it, shoot mostly cast/powder coated 340-500gr subs. Never have had any issues with mine. I've got a...

    Typical thickness of a M-LOK handguard?

    Not sure i've seen an actual spec from Magpul but I assume there is one out there. The majority of the rails out there from main brands are 2.5-3mm thick. There are a few that are quite a bit thicker (MDT is one) where they are not concerned with weight. Most that I have are closer to 2.5mm...

    Rifle Scopes Lever gun optic input

    I keep hoping with the surge in interest with the lever guns that someone will come out with an illuminated reticle scout scope. Leupold and Vortex are still making the scout optics (longer eye relief) but more on the budget side of the line. I put a Leupold FX-II 2.5x scout rifle on my Marlin...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    I had been looking at Steiner T6Xi 3-18 or a used ATACR 4-16 but thinking this might be worth waiting. Love my G3 and this would be good on a 308 AR.

    New 4 oz. AIR BRACE Cantilever Mount, American Rifle Company Black Friday Sale

    anyone running one with an offset or 12 o'clock mounted red dot? I am looking at a 3-18 for my 308 gas gun and was thinking to run an offset red dot, but figured someone has done so already and might have some comments or suggestions.

    SBR-Ing a AR pistol via Form 1. Anyone done one lately?

    Do a trust. I just did a couple of cans and 1 was 7 days, the other three went throug together and were just over 3 weeks. my personal trust (not a SShop trust). I'm going to do a form 1 soon on a rifle lower. My understanding is you need to have "available" the original configuration that you...

    Suppressors Ocm 5 on 6arc

    not sure if it helps but I bought a Dead Air Lazarus 6 so I could try one of the 6mm variants in the future. Haven't looked into it enough to know if ARC, MAX or some other variant might win out for me. I guess even a 6mm CM can be shot thru it.

    45-70 SUBS - 405gr LFP/Titegroup

    I've been working on some 340gr (Lee 457-340-F) and 490gr (Lyman 457406) cast powder coated rounds. My two powders I've been playing with are VV 3N37 and IMR 4227. So far I've had good results with the following: 340gr w/ 19.0gr 4227 ~975fps (garmin Xero) w/ 12.5gr 3N37 ~965fps...

    EoTech Vudu 3-9x is in the House !

    I am looking forward to seeing what it can do. Like you my first thought was to throw it on a lever gun with a red dot but then if they come out with a MIL/FFP I would use that straight up on an AR15 and I think it would be great (compact, lightweight, more usable mag range compared to a 1-8 or...

    Questions for those with SilencerCo, Dead Air, and Banish suppressors

    do you plan to shoot it often (or at all?) without the can? when I first started buying muzzle devices I got some brakes, some flash hiders, etc. But now that I have a few cans I really don't care about what muzzle device is on the rifle, as I mostly shoot with the can on the rifle. Just bought...
