    Precision Rifle Gear Tripod mounts

    It is better in that it locks out the roll axis and only allows pitch and yaw adjustments. However, this requires that the base is level which takes longer to set up. I wouldn't use it when setting up the tripod was "on the clock" so to speak. It is noticeably heavier than the largest RRS...

    Precision Rifle Gear Tripod mounts

    I've used the ProMediaGear one for some years and it works fine. It is heavier than a ball head and takes longer to set up. You need a leveling based. "GK Katana Professional Gimbal Tripod Head"

    TBAC new Magnus and 338 Ultra Gen2 release dates?

    Sorry about that. Demand in 2024 went off the hook and we are making some big changes to address it. But still making all cans in-house for QC means growth is linear. That said, we are shipping a ton of cans every month, so just find a dealer/distributor that has what you are looking for...

    Suppressors 2024 Silencer Summit Results

    There is always some host noise, be it the striker/hammer falling or in a dramatic case, all the various events on a gas gun. In this case, suppressed .22's are so quiet that a something as "minor" as -- hypothetically -- the striker causing some other part of the gun to ring, can easily be...

    They were R&D prototypes or nonproduction cans, or in a couple cases, "unapproved" caliber-can combinations that the mfgr wanted to test anyway.

    Opinions on the best suppressor(s) for Sig Rattler Canebrake?

    My advice is to ditch the Canebrake handguard and use the Midwest industries Rattler handguard, and then use one of the short/fatter cans on the market. Otherwise you are limited to really narrow cans. Here's one option...

    TBAC new Magnus and 338 Ultra Gen2 release dates?

    Some 338 Ultra Gen2 RR's (BA) have already shipped to MH, and others. Some SR versions are due there Sept. 375 Cheytac is slightly too big for the Magnus/338Ultra design. For now the Ultra50 would be the go-to from us on that. The 375 Magnus is fine with 375 Swiss P with long enough barrels.

    Suppressors New TBAC cans for 2024

    Hi, We'll gladly take a direct order. However, it is usually faster to get one from a dealer who either has it, or has it in their order queue (in that case get your "name on it").

    Suppressors New TBAC cans for 2024

    We've shipped quite a few. We did have a delay with the RR brake portions when our plater screwed up about half the ones we sent and they had to be remade/replated.

    Long Range Hunting Suppressor

    The Ultra 7 is our most popular hunting can, period. On most modern hunting calibers, e.g. up to a little smaller than 300 Win Mag, it is quiet enough, and it is very small and light. If you are regularly shooting 300 Win Mag or larger -- OR you have an unusually short magnum barrel -- I...

    Titanium TBAC CB Mount?

    No, besides that the retention between a DT can and a threaded barrel is worse than the retention between a CB brake and a CB can. ETA- I missed the part about a "titanium brake". When we used to make titanium-threaded direct thread cans (e.g. 30P-1, etc), we had cans get stuck all the time...
