    Victor Co. Titan 10/22 stock - new option?

    Of course. One will be showing up at my house tomorrow in FDE. Hopefully followed soon after by a Kidd ULW barrel. I really 'wood' have preferred that color. Aaron

    Flat or curved?

    Some may argue that with a flat trigger it allows the shooter to place the finger lower and farther from the fulcrum which allows more leverage for a lighter feeling pull. Not sure because I've only pulled curved ones though. So maybe try one out if you can. Kinda like a wife, try it before you...

    Best $100-ish bipod

    $98 Amazon Magpul Bipod Hope that code voodoo works; just trying it out (trying to change the link into something more understandable). Anyway, now I'm interested and found one from Magpul on Amazon for $98. (ETA: Yay, it worked!)

    ALG Defense...

    Agreed that their trigger is worth the wait and is dang nice for a battle rifle. Put one on an SBR'd lower and was pleasantly surprised at smoothness. Good pull weight for duty use and hunting. Good upgrade from stock milspec triggers for the lettuce they ask for it. What're you putting it...

    10/22 Build

    Without getting into a whole Kidd vs. VQ debate like can easily be found all over the interwebs, the Kidd single stage is on sale right now so I'm going with that as the first step, and will go all in on other Kidd accouterments since going with their barrel too. The continuity of design from...

    10/22 Build

    I hear you... spend $300 more and have two rifles. Makes sense, but I CAN NOT stand the stock trigger and bolt catch and feel like it is a safety issue for younger shooters that might get discouraged by the tough trigger pull or get focused in on working the stupid bolt catch mechanism that...

    10/22 Build

    Good evening, A 10/22 landed in my lap for the best price. It is my first 10/22 and is completely stock and in very good condition. The trigger is terrible, along with the bolt lock/release porta-potty fire situation, and mag release that needs a 5 year old's finger to dig into the stock to...

    Suppressors Thunder Beast Dominus

    I was thinking a user-serviceable pistol/PCC can that would also work for 45-70, 450 Bushmaster, etc. Any work going on for one of those? I will probably be ready to buy one next year around SHOT time and would prefer TBAC engineering, quality, and CS. But will end up gong Obsidian or DA Ghost...

    Fingers crossed for a .45 cal TBAC can... someday.

    Source for quality flannel button ups...?

    And another Costco vote here. Cheap and don't shrink as fast as some of the other cheap offerings (Fleet Farm), plus can get them in different weights. Thick for colder weather, thin for more fair weather. Choices are completely at the whim of their buyers though so the wife picks them up as...

    Should I go 260 Rem?

    Good morning, Went through similar mental gymnastics a couple years ago and ended up going 260. (I do not own a 6.5C yet) Reasons for going 260: 1. Wanted a shorter barrel length (22") for suppressor so the little extra capacity got me back to 6.5C velocity. Proved by exact same come ups out...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns SH handgun Dot Torture challenge

    Moved up to 7 yds last night and only dropped one so there's improvement! No pics because it was a fail; may as well have dropped 25. I think the trick is simply pure focus on fundamentals for the whole course of fire. Found my eye focus drifting to target to admire the holes, and that is when...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns SH handgun Dot Torture challenge

    First time shooting the drill tonight. Did 8 yds because 3 just seemed WAY too close. Should have listened and started closer... this is more challenging than I thought. No timer for me this time either.

    Suppressors Direct connect suppressor vs. QD

    Using nickel antiseize for locking interface. It seems to work so far but I HATE that I end up looking like the tin man after using it. Any other alternatives?

    Older large dog tore ACL- Surgery or not?

    Good evening, Had an 8 year old English Mastiff that tore up a knee. Wife was real close with that good boy (he kept her safe and consoled over a couple of deployments) and we paid to have surgery done. It was weeks of recovery, up to 30 pills a day, hand feeding him mushed up boiled burger...

    Spray Painting Rifles

    I got to messing around with a good thing on that practice stock today after work. Shot it with another coat of clear, but it must have been too humid (NE WI upper 80's today with high dew points) and that last coat got some significant haze to it. So I went at it with some fine steel wool...

    Spray Painting Rifles

    Good call and a point I learned. This was a practice piece to get down the pattern for the colors and I will absolutely tape some areas on future stocks: butt pad, safety areas, barrel and receiver areas to keep out the matte clear final coats, as well as remove sling studs. I leveraged the...

    Maggie’s SH Motorcycle Thread

    Pic from last night's ride. The silver '07 R1200RT on the right has about 80k miles on it and was sold to a friend this past spring. I put about 45k on that one. The '15 is my main ride now. Had it for a little over a year with 38k miles and put 12k on it so far even though it was down for 10...
