I have a Stainless Rolex Submariner I recently had to send back for a broken main spring. While it was there I elected to get the full spa treatment with new clasp, bezel, etc. Now that it's back I haven't worn it. I was thinking of selling it and...

I was looking at the DTNVS. The 31A has the cool factor and the external battery pack is tempting, but I'm trying to keep the price in line with what I think I can get for the watch.

I'm trying to be smart about my spending. We had a house fire in August and it was a total loss. The "basement savers," .....errrr I mean firemen, did a majority of the damage. It'll be 16-18 months from today before it's rebuilt and we're back in. So for the next year plus it's double the...

I have a Stainless Rolex Submariner I recently had to send back for a broken main spring. While it was there I elected to get the full spa treatment with new clasp, bezel, etc. Now that it's back I haven't worn it. I was thinking of selling it and buying my first set of NODS. Truthfully I...

Looks like a quality build. I'd reconsider the cantilever mount in favor of some quality rings and would highly recommend the Area 419 Hellfire brake. You can remove the brake portion for easy cleaning and it's easy to put back on. There's no jam nut to screw around with.

I've heard good things about Straight Jacket, but they do not manufacture the action. They're simply selling a chambered barrel and action together as a package. You could still choose to have an action of your liking shipped to them and they could very easily spin a barrel for you. I took a...

I'm a BIG fan of Defiance, especially when they're nitrided. I've shot or owned all of the popular custom actions and now I only own Defiance. The action is just a delivery system some will argue. I agree with that statement, but we like what we like. They make a budget version called the...

The issue with factory mass produced rifles is you may get a good one and you may get one that shoots like sh*t. I've had this conversation with numerous people when they ask me for advice. It always ends up the same. They disregard what I say then end up selling the rifle at a loss and doing...

I have the TT Diamond on my Vudoo. I like it a lot and I also hate selling things online, so I kept it and made use of it. To be clear the bolt lift with the TT wasn't what I would consider horrible. There is a very noticeable difference with the Bix N Andy which is why I made the switch...

I believe they may be referring to the amount of sear engagement. I don't have the Tenacity, but I do have two nitrided Deviants. I had two TT Diamonds but switched them out to Bix N Andy because I felt the bolt lift was a little too heavy with TT. At the advice of a member here I made the...

Robert built my first custom rifle many years ago. He invited me down to build it with him. He told me it wasn't much fun building them alone. I told him I picked him to build it for a reason and helping would only diminish the quality of the rifle. His response was rifles are like working...

My shooting buddy just got two GSL suppressors out of jail. The first was for his 338 Snipe Tac. No other suppressor manufacturer would step up to make a suppressor for it and he contacted them all. We shot it and it was hearing safe. No issues and the quality and finish were exceptional...

I absolutely refuse to look through a ZCO. I purchased four NF 7-35's before the ZCO was released and I'm terrified at how much money it will cost me.

I went the opposite direction. Sold every piece of FL gear I owned and switched to Sitka. The lack of a wind stopping membrane was a deal killer in the long run. I picked up the Stratus bib/jacket and Fanatic bib/jacket and only wear one insulating layer. My only regret is not doing it...

If you have any big bore, short barrel S&W revolvers I'd be interested in those.
