    Solar telescope filter for daytime zeroing?

    Just poke a tiny hole in your lens cap. Can cover with duct tape later on.

    Help me select a KN203 Simrad friendly scope

    Use mine with a USO B17 with H102 reticle and love it. What illuminator are you running? Put a Luna on mine and can count antlers on deer (not shooting them, just observing) at 1000m on 17x mag.

    Looking to Build a low weight ar-10

    Hunting buddy and I both built lightweight 6.5 CM using 16” gunner profile barrels. Mine was 1MOA, his was 1.5. Different receiver types so could have been part of the difference. Worked well enough for our purposes, but have since switched to 20” proof CF to try and get more velocity. Best...

    Need a backpack for air travel. Maxpedition, or??

    Have used the Kifaru Antero 2.0 pretty much daily for the past 3 years with no complaints. Great bag.

    Lightweight, packable rain suit

    I’ve been very happy with my Kuiu Chugach rain gear. Expensive, but has been worth every penny when I needed it. Has held up well over the past 7 years of intermittent use. You can watch their outlet web site for occasional deals.

    Spotters Spotting Scope With MRAD Reticle

    Running the Athlon Ares gen 2 with the 22x mil reticle, and works pretty well on steel out to 600 or so spotting 6.5 hits. Only good to 400 for 5.56.

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    Another good weekend, 16 total for the trip. Not a lot of sleeping… 6 coolers full of meat, though.

    Texas silencer company

    Have one of their 22 cans. It’s just ok. Definitely louder than other 22 cans I’ve shot it next to.

    Night Vision Helmet mounted: straight thermal, mix NV/thermal, or clip on?

    Cedar makes it tough. I live in the hill country. Thermal will work much better in that environment, but will still have issues. Considered an Autel thermal drone? Might be best option for that terrain and that size area. Find and fix with thermal drone, move in from downwind with NVGs and F...

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    From a few weeks ago. Ended up with 10 pigs, 2 raccoons, and a coyote.

    Night Vision Helmet mounted: straight thermal, mix NV/thermal, or clip on?

    What’s the primary use and general terrain you’ll be in? I say that because it can make a big difference in what will work best. My primary use is hunting pigs/coyotes in fairly open terrain in West Texas. Most of the time we are driving in a truck with a windshield. Stop, roll down window to...

    Badass DIY barrel cooler(s)

    Did the harbor freight version this weekend and worked great!

    Rifle Packs for All-Day Hunting?

    Another fan of Kifaru. I use the 22 mag on the tactical frame with a gun grabber.

    Fieldcraft Team Comms

    I’d recommend getting your GMRS license. $75 for 10 years, no test required. Opens up much better radio and antenna options. I’ll second what was said above about VOX, just doesn’t work reliably. PTT is the way to go. Baofeng has worked fine for us, through the BTECH website. Peltor has been...

    AR 308 & 6.5CM barrel length / velocities

    My 16” 6.5 CM (Faxon Gunner barrel) averages 2510fps with factory 143 ELD-X. Perfect setup for me shooting pigs out to 400.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Holster for glock 17 with rmr and suppressor

    Have run the SureFire holster for a few years. Glock21 with RMR and osprey45. It’s my suppressed finishing pistols when hunting pigs at night. If driving on a 4wheeler all night it works great. Same thing when dismounted. However, it is a royal PITA when using a regular vehicle, side by side...
