    Looking for a bolt action.

    I bought an Aero Solus 6.5 Creed in the KRG Bravo and honestly I love it. I love it so much that I bought a Solus action and got a Solus M24 contour .308 barrel and built that out with a KRG Bravo as well. Honestly, it's the easy button. Putting together a bolt rifle is so much easier than...

    Tripod Help

    I've used TwoVets and Leofoto. Now I have RRS. There is honestly no comparison. The Leofoto is fine for a spotter but shooting off of them isn't ideal. Side by side, it is honestly staggering how much more wobbly the Leofoto is compared to the RRS. I would get a TwoVets over the Leofoto...

    AB Quantum 3.4.4 Vector X, Max Ord, Max Ord Range, Trace & Dialed Elevation Tool.

    I am not 100% positive, but I think it retains the Elite status unless the device isn't paired with it every 30 days or something. It's been a long time since I didn't have something connecting to the app. I'm sure Doc can tell us for sure.

    New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

    No idea about the Mars, but the Maztech isn't included in ABQ yet, sadly. But the Tango includes Elite and you would get all of the functionality of that license level. Once the Maztech is pulled into ABQ I imagine it will be Elite as well. Just like the VectorX is. Here is a screenshot of...

    New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

    You don't have to subscribe to AB Pro to unlock it. You either pay a one time $300 fee, or buy a Kestrel 5700 elite or a garmin AB elite. Either of those is a one time fee. The monthly subscription cost is to unlock Pro which isn't required to go past 900 yards, just elite. If you want the...

    Hey ... it's $200

    I'm less concerned about the wait times post Jan 1 as the supply of what I might want. I've gotten 5 I think since the bill was signed simply because what I wanted was in stock.

    AlumaHyde 2 Experiment

    I used some AH II on a suppressor. Looks great, wears fairly well. It even held up to the heat, just discolors after awhile. I did not oven cure it or anything though. Just let it air dry for a few days.

    What’s your favorite scope mount?

    I have 3 different Area 419 mounts and will slowly transition all of my scopes to them eventually.

    10 second showdown

    7 always kicked my ass because of the kneeling. Bad knees. Was my hardest string every time.

    10 second showdown

    I'll try this the next time I'm at the range. I did the original FAMQ in 3/4 time when I was still shooting a lot. But I took a class from Steve Silverman to show me how to shoot pistols a long damn time ago.

    Recommend a suppressor for 6.5 CM and 338LM.

    I have an OCL Hydrogen L 6.5 for my CM and am using an AB Raptor 10 .338 with the reflex chamber in a 300 PRC until I break down and get a 338. The Hydrogen on the 6.5 is stupidly quiet. I am shocked by it. The Raptor on the 300 is amazing. I am a huge fan of their cans right now. I’ve...

    Suppressors Which HUB mount

    Everything not Surefire that I own is in the process of being converted to Area 419 Hellfire. Other than the 2 AB Raptors because I love the reflex portion.

    Calypso AB Mini Ultrasonic Wind Meter

    100% agree. A plug has got to be cheaper than that freaking wireless charging. If it was magnetic it might be better. But I still would rather have a plug. And whoever decided it didn’t need an off switch needs beaten with a pool noodle.

    Suppressors Baffle erosion DT vs brake

    The Area 419 Hellfire, which is what I’m converting my bolt guns over to, has an O ring that seems to make it fairly impossible to come loose. Something for me to keep an eye on in the future though. I use Surefire Brakes on all of my ARs. I originally used them in my bolt guns too but there...
