If leupold would make the VX6 2-12 or VX5 2-10 with a decent reticle and adj parallax , that would be great too. I had a VX6 3-18x that I liked a lot other than 18X was too high for my use.

I have had two of the NXS (actually 3 if you count a 3-15x) and I really didn't like them. I couldn't even tell you exactly why right now, but I didn't keep them long. If I remember right, they didn't seem very optically sharp to me (maybe my eyes) , I didn't like the illumination system, etc...

I don't like that they have no parallax, and the reticle options aren't to my liking. How are the turrets? Would they work well for removing the caps and dialing if needed? That is one thing I really like about the SHV 3-10. I make my own zero stop for those. (It doesn't stop it at exactly zero...

I agree. I would love a 2-12 or 3-12 set up like the Steiner but in 2nd focal plain. If I'm shooting far enough that I need to hold over, I will be at 12x anyway so I don't need FFP. There are other nice looking 12x scopes out there, but they don't have holdover reticles or the reticles are set...

If you want to get rid of the SHV and it is MOA, please let me know. I have one and am considering getting another one. I have a Zeiss Conquest 4-16x44. That may be a good fit for you if you are occasionally shooting out farther.

I saw those but by the time I pay for the barrel, that fluting (not the cheapest) and Cerekote, I have as much in that as a Carbon 6 barrel.

I have a 6.5 Creedmoor Tikka CTR contour barrel which I've had cut down to 19 inches and straight fluted by RLI. I'm thinking of getting a 19-20 inch carbon barrel to save some weight and improve the balance (run a TB suppressor). My question is- Since the barrel is so short anyway, a relatively...

Thanks. Those are also on my radar, especially the 36m... Although that stepdown design has me scratching my head. If you're going to have the length anyway, why not keep it full diameter for more volume?

So what is different about a pistol suppressor that gives less blow back at the action? It seems that if there is less back pressure, then there would also be less silencing at the muzzle (less effective silencing) . Not trying to argue, just trying to understand the engineering/ principles of...

Yes, I have an TBAC ultra but 30 cal so won't work on the 9mm. So what you're saying is that a dedicated 9mm can will have less back pressure/ blow back noise than a can that is also rated for rifles? I've been curious if larger volume (rifle rated) can might not create less back pressure than...

I just bought an AR pistol in 9mm for a home defense/ bugout gun and thinking of suppressing it. I'm trying to decide if I should go for a dedicated 9mm suppressor or multi caliber such as the Rugged Alaskan 360. I'm leaning towards the Rugged Alaskan but wondering if I'm giving up anything...

I have 3 (one new) plus their mag release. If you want to try them out, I'll give you a good deal. Based on my research, it is the Glock specs that cause some to function flawlessly and some not so much. ( I don't want to argue about this- just what I can gather). In my pistol it was the "not...

Keep the stock that you have, IMHO. I had a McMillian and found that I liked the factory better.

That is the place NF told me to look but when I looked, they were gone. Will look again. Thanks!
