    5.56 tavor vs 300blk sbr

    So this is the way you want to go with this, huh? Okay. I won't be libtarded if you won't be Davey Douchebag trying to run a carbine course with a 50 BMG. Is it possible that a bad dude is going to shoot at you from 150 yards (with anything)? Sure. Is it probable? Not for most of us. How 'bout...

    5.56 tavor vs 300blk sbr

    Having a (conceptually) similar rifle (to the Tavor 7), I would say that .308 Win is waaaaaaaaayy too much round for two-leggers at even the most generous of legally defensible shooting distances. Like, if something happens to where the OP (or any of us) finds himself in a situation where he...

    When you're right, you're right. Dammit.

    Suppressors What are you using to suppress SBR .300 BLK

    Omega and an old skool Specwar 7.62.

    Exactly my thought. Very cool stuff!

    Rifle Scopes Best FFP Scope on Sale to use alongside RDS- 18" 6.5G General Purpose

    If the OP can stretch his budget a bit, IMO it's damned difficult to beat the Weaver 3-15 Tactical for this application. 50 mm objective, FFP, illuminated, with respectable glass and good tracking, for $500. It could really use a zero stop and an updated reticle, but in the grand scheme of...

    Rifle Scopes Zero stop shim sets for SWFA Super Sniper scopes

    @TimK, any chance of making shim sets for the Weaver Tactical 3-15 (part 800363)? I have one I can send to you for prototyping purposes...

    Rifle Scopes Ring Height vs. Cheek Weld, Comfort, Fatigue etc...

    @Huskerhunter mentioned a weld closer to the jaw than to the cheekbone; that type of weld is VERY uncomfortable for me, as it prevents me from being able to rest the weight of my head on the comb. Consequently, I configure my rifles to allow for a weld pretty close to my cheek bone, which...

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon Credo line up

    I've bought from DVOR a few times, and have had good luck. I bought an Accupower 2.5-10x56 a couple months back, and am pretty happy with it, for what it is.

    Gunsmithing Another heavy bolt lift question. Seekins havak bravo 6.5prc

    ^^What he said^^ Greasing the cocking cam surface(s) is part of my normal maintenance routine for this reason. I have in the past gone down a bit of a rabbit hole regarding what grease to use, and my current selection is a paste with high MOS2 content (JetLube MP-50). That said, I am 100%...

    Ruger American

    Very nice. I have a couple of the Ruger American Ranch rifles, and like them a lot for what they are (read: the quality isn't at the level of an AI, but neither is the price).

    Howa mini action and rapid fire

    I have two of them, both with aftermarket bolt knobs, and I find them to be pretty smooth... and with the short bolt stroke, they're plenty fast. Feeding (.223 Rem, 7.62x39) is nice out of the factory mags. Factory trigger can be adjusted down to ~1.5 pounds by cutting about 1.5 coils off the...

    7mm magnum or 338 lapua

    If it was me, and I was looking for a long range rig, I'd likely look at something like the 7mm-300 Norma Improved. Easier on the shoulder than a 338 LM, with all of that 7mm ballistic goodness. That said, something like a 338 LM Improved running 300 gr Bergers has the oomph to put a seriously...

    Do I need a 300 Winchester Magnum

    The way that kind of thing works is that the smaller case can run with the larger case up to a point... running light/medium-for-caliber projectiles, the smaller case is right there; look at .308 Win and 30-06 for another example of this. It's not until you get into the heavy-for-caliber...

    Do I need a 300 Winchester Magnum

    As someone mentioned, if you're going to go with a belted magnum, I'd pick 7mm Rem Mag over 300 WM; brass/ammo is just as commonly available, and grain-for-grain, the 7mm projectiles fly better. Of course, the lastest crop of 30 caliber heavies have no equivalent in the 7mm, but IMO those...

    .300BO Bolt Gun...talk me out of or into.

    I have a Ruger American Ranch in 300BLK, and a Howa mini in 7.62x39. Both are an absolute giggle to shoot, but I haven't had a chance to (successfully) hunt with either one; though I DID open up an armadillo like a can of Spam with the 300BLK from about 5 yards... :p The BLK is on the right:

    Hello my name is Tikka and i endorse this post.

    In my case, my Tikka fandom started when I purchased a T3 and began playing with it after some time spent playing with Savages and bog standard X-mark era R700s. I was pleasantly surprised regarding the ease of modification of the Tikka (bolt handle, trigger upgrade) in conjunction with the...

    Where are all the Sig MCXs and MPXs?

    'nother happy ILWT customer here... I began with an 8" Gen 2 MPX with the folding arm brace, and purchased a 4.5" barrel with an integral tri-lug mount once my Form 1 came back. I also have the adjustable gas plug from ILWT, and swapped the arm brace for a proper stock (MFT Minimalist) before...

    Why shouldn't I build a 7-08?

    IMO, 7mm-08 is an overlooked cartridge, as the drag numbers on the modern mid-weight 7mm projectiles are pretty impressive.

    Suppressors PSA, re: Silencerco ASR brake/mount AC1961 (11/16-24)

    Long story short, if you plan on installing a SiCo 11/16-24 ASR mount, be aware that the wrench flats on the brake are pretty much perfectly fitted by a 22mm wrench. Nominally, SiCo probably intended for users to use a 7/8" wrench, but 22mm was a much tighter fit. Short story long, I got this...
