    Which suppressor

    I haven’t owned a YHM but have heard good things about them. IIRC, the owner of Sound Technologies allowed them to use one or some of his patents. I have an early Sound Tech suppressor, from when I met Mark the owner at the 1997 suppressor trials. It is still great. I also have a, quick...

    Black River Tactical 16” Cold Hammer Forged Optimum Barrel Accuracy Evaluation

    What am I missing? When reading the reviews it looks like the BRT performed as well or better than the Noveski. Am I interpreting this correctly?

    Does Kreiger or Bartlein make match grade barrels for

    The more I think about it the more I am leaning towards a factory 18 or 20” stainless LMT barrel. Unless I find a deal on the 20” I am leaning towards the 18”. Unfortunately , I haven’t been able to shoot the gun as I just had shoulder surgery. I am trying to get it set up during my down...

    Does Kreiger or Bartlein make match grade barrels for

    the LMT MARS-H gun ? My gun came with the 16” chrome barrel which I am going to use for suppresses shooting. I am interested in a match grade barrel. I have looked at the LMT stainless barrels, but have read mixed reviews. I am looking for 1/2 m.o.a. or better. Thanks.

    I bought a LMT MARS-H 308 today at a local gun shop. Opinions on

    I really appreciate all of you taking the time to give your input. So, another question. If I upgrade to a factory stainless steel heavy barrel, 16 or 20”, are the factory barrels cut to the tolerances to shoot 1/2 m.o.a. ? Also, has anyone tried a hydraulic buffer along with the Tubbs...

    I would love to find a SS 16 or 20” heavy barrel, or both, to switch with the 16” chrome barrel. Ideally, be able to trade my 16” chrome barrel towards the SS barrel, since the gun has never been shot. Any ideas where to find either? Thanks for your input.

    I guess I never did mention the intended use. Maybe coyote hunting. It will be mostly shooting on my property, out to 200 yards and on my neighbors property, out to 400 yards. I have several rifles that I would like to confirm at longer distances but it just never seems to work out.

    Thanks for the reply. The hardest part is knowing I won't get to shoot it for several months due to my recent shoulder surgery. The scale says it weighs 13.2 pounds in the current configuration. It really doesn't feel that heavy to me. I ordered another 500 Federal 168 GMM yesterday...

    Here it is with the current set up. I am not sure what the final set up will be. I just installed stuff I already had.

    It gets better. I was looking them up on Gunbroker and saw that a local gun shop, Fuquay Guns, had one listed on Gunbroker for $3999.99. I gave them a call, not telling them I saw they had one listed on Gunbroker ,and asked if they had one in stock. Drew, the salesman, came back to the phone...

    I have a PVS-14 and the Steiner Dbal-d2 that I could switch over from one of my DD guns. Hitting a target at 300 yards at night with the ir laser is a lot of fun. Thanks for the reply.

    Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, it will be a few months before I can shoot it because I just had shoulder surgery. Has anyone shortened their barrel to 14.5 ? Any other suggestions ? Thanks again.

    what I should ad to the gun to maximize the performance. I bought the 16” with the heavy chrome lined barrel. My current plan is to attach an Atlas bi-pod, my Nightforce ATACR, and quick detach brake for my Gemtech One suppressor. I am thinking about either getting my 16” barrel cut to 14.5...

    I forgot to mention, it also has a turret built by Kenton Industries for .308 gold medal match. I have someone who wants to buy it for $1000.00 and I thought that was a little low. Thanks for your help.

    AADMOUNT scope covers and an American Defense one piece quick detach scope mount. The scope has the mil dot reticle. Everything looks like new but there are no boxes. Thanks in advance.
