    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    My .308 trigger pull was 2.25 lb. I liked the .308 so much that I also got one in 5.56. Its trigger was also 2.25 lb. I'm not a trigger expert, but both feel sweet to me with no creep. I left the triggers as-is. On the other hand my RPRR was 4+ pounds and came from the factory as heavy as...

    Suppressors Crux Suppressors

    Been off the forum for a while. Came back and saw this thread and thought my input might be useful. I have the Ark30 (mine's the screw-on type, the 1st generation of Ark30). I use it on .308, 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 Creedmoor, 5.56 and 300 Blackout. On about 50% of the rifles tried, it reduces the...

    Hunting & Fishing Ohio groundhogs

    What I miss about groundhogs (I grew up in Indiana) is that they were delicious to eat. All dark meat. One born that year was tender enough as-is. Ones older than 1 year needed parboiling in salt water (45-90 minutes) until a fork would easily go in, and keep skimming off the fat that would...

    Hunting & Fishing Questions for Florida Hunters

    On private property in Florida, any legal firearm can be used FOR HOGS. No magazine limits either. If your suppressor and SBR are legally owned, they are OK to use. Lights at night, night vision and thermal are fine too. WMA's have their own rules on firearms, hours of hunting and require a...

    Night Vision Thermal imaging - 2 Questions

    I use chemical handwarmers stapled to cardboard or steel plate heated with propane torch or, most commonly, steel plated painted flat black and hung so the sun heats it up.

    Night Vision THERMAL sight battery life

    While I do use rechargeables in the UTAC since it is rated for them, I do use the following precaution. Right after being removed from the charger, the voltage reading will be higher. I give them a while (an hour or so, but they normally sit overnight or longer since I have several sets of...

    Night Vision Was a UTAC-32M Review deleted?

    I was the one that posted the review, and it disappeared. Maybe it was because I posted links to where I bought it from and the maker so people could see the specs instead of me posting the same thing. I am not selling the units, and have no affiliation with the maker or dealer. I wrote of my...

    Night Vision THERMAL sight battery life

    To put it another way: The 1400mAh CR123A's are from China and are less expensive than USA made ones that are 1550mAh capacity. (The Chinese ones I buy in bulk have good reviews and the necessary protection for overload/high drain rates.) Doing some quick math, I find the Chinese batteries...

    Night Vision THERMAL sight battery life

    UTAC-32M: Manual says >4 hrs at 70 degrees F. Actual life = ~3 1/2 hours with screen brightness set on "6" (brightness goes from 1 to 12) with 1400mAh CR123A. Actual life = ~4-4 1/2 hours with screen brightness on "6" with 1550mAh CR123A. Actual life = ~ 1 1/2 hours with screen...

    Night Vision Best bang for your buck in thermal imaging optics?

    Yesterday I took my UTAC-32M out to verify no impact point shift in front of day optics at longer range prior to a friend taking me hog hunting. I had frozen water containers set at 60yd and 110yd. With one AR with a 2-7x scope set at 2x the bullet impact was consistently a foot off to the...

    Night Vision Best bang for your buck in thermal imaging optics?

    I own one. I've had it since Tuesday of last week and am just a new-be in the thermal world, so I don't have much real world experience to share. I got it because of its versatility. I live on a small farm and really can't look further than about 200yd without woods getting in the way...

    Handloading for a new world order...

    Yep, that's me. I reload aluminum, boxer primed pistol cases with no problems. I avoid aluminum cases that appear to have been sitting outside for a while, as they fall apart after while like aluminum cans that have been outside for a long time. Freshly fired aluminum cases are what I like...

    Night Vision T14x thermal.... Too good to be true?

    $7075.00 delivered from their Mississippi dealer (Security Solutions and Communications Inc, Starkville, Ms). Contact Nivisys and let them know what state you live in, and they will give the contact info for the nearest dealership to you. The price of the 32L was $9295.00. 32L would have...

    Night Vision T14x thermal.... Too good to be true?

    I wrote SPI about some T14x specs, since they didn't list them. I was promptly sent the following: "This is a 160 amorphous thermal interpolated into 320x240 at 60HZ, real nice image at 17um. This unit should handle the .308 recoil. I also have a new scope coming out with 60 hz / 5x / 384x288...
