    Ammo 7n6 Poison Pill 5.45x39 ammo

    Got this from a buddy who inexplicably opened two tins. The ammo is still lacquer sealed and has been in climate control since opened. I think 50 cents a round is as cheap as it gets online - two cases of 1,080 (each opened) plus several hundred loose rounds. ETA - one tin minimum to ship or...

    Best QD Suppressor Mount for 300BLK?

    QD means different things to different people - I don't think you can beat Thunder Beast CB for accuracy / repeatability. Takes a few seconds to spin can off or on.

    Tightest Lockup Receiver Set

    Raising threads from the dead... Just had a buddy buy a receiver set that wasn't cheap and was a little more rattle trappy than one would have expected, so I took some reference measurements for him to set the expectation on an exchange, which they agreed to do. With that said, I'm not here to...

    Craddock RTR

    Playing with the one I have an ACOG on in TX, we were stacking bullets at 100 so I have high hopes with a 20X on a bag

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt

    It isn't even a contest. The laser puts it in another league and you can't disregard the mount. That is like saying - disregarding cats being from the devil, which do you prefer - cats or dogs? They are not the same species between the mount and laser. The Steiner clip Burris adaption isn't a...

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt

    Its a loaner, it would be great if they just let writers keep test units, but alas they expect it back in ~ 60 days

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt

    TLDR - Good clarity, range finder works as advertised, seems like this unit might be a "If I could only have one" level unit, if on a $3000-ish budget Full and fair disclosure, I got this unit for T&E from Athlon. I'm not being paid by them, nor are they advertising in exchange. I'm just...

    Craddock RTR

    At the end of the day, very glad to hear the barrel is capable of sub MOA. I'll get a detailed range day up ASAP of the 3 RTR variants I'm working with but so far they seem to be doing well in practice In other news, I found another application for those barrels...

    Craddock RTR

    Well, my range trip was forced short and practical due to work and upcoming hog hunt - BUT - the 13.9" Craddock Pangris barrels ran 100% and accuracy looks very promising - one rifle had a 3.5X ACOG and the other a thermal scope so nothing worth photographing or writing home about quite yet...

    Considering a 13.9” upper to go with my 18” 6.5 Grendel.. thoughts?

    For better or worse, to some degree I am, but one more is as far as I'll let it go. I'm guessing there are other 2.1"+ options, I haven't researched them as of yet

    Considering a 13.9” upper to go with my 18” 6.5 Grendel.. thoughts?

    I'm considering HUB'ing a Thunderbeast Ultra 5 or Dominus K to a Keymo QD... my last conversation with them led me to believe there was space in the can to allow it

    Considering a 13.9” upper to go with my 18” 6.5 Grendel.. thoughts?

    I have 12.5" and 20" because I can. My sons have 13.9" only, P&W to 16+ with a mount. The 20" is easier to hit with past 600 - but - on pigs from 0-200 it doesn't matter much other than we use 100 gr ELDX in the 12.5 & 13.9, and I use 123 SST in the 20". I dunno if you could HUB adapt to use...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    Truth be told, I barely use the apps. I am really looking forward to putting the Athlon side by side.

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    If I'd known the factory clip was a pack of lies - and known that there was going to be a stash of the Gen 1's released that still carried full factory warranty - I would have gone that direction. I believe I'm going to be able to get my hands on the new Athlon Cronus CL35 for some T&E, which...

    Craddock RTR

    I have 4 RTR barrels that have landed - two 18" .750" Grendels and and two 13.9" skinny .625" Grendel Pangris barrels - I will have some range reports soon.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    I regret to say I concur the 300 BLK only beats the Grendel in reliability. Under 100 yards, the 300 BLK is o-tay but if I could go back in time and talk to myself, I'd say DON'T DO IT unless you're doing apartment building style CQB.

    Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt - Updated 9/30 with third hunt

    So, have been using this Steiner for several more trips. 1) The resolution in front of a VX-6 or Vortex Razor continues to impress. I'm using this with a son or friend next to a NOX 35 and purely considering detection/resolution - its a coin toss. 2) I'm still mad* at Steiner for lying to me...
