    Wait for PVA or....?

    When was the last time anyone saw a well known smith come on here to have to explain themselves and make more excuses? I'm not sure i ever have, and i know there are a few that are active on the site. It's not just regarding the Hancock rifle either. This is a pattern. He may make great stuff...

    130 eld-m vs 140 eld-m velocity

    I'll soon be out of my 139 scenars and i was thinking of trying a new bullet in my 260. Right now i am loading in the middle node and getting 2,825 fps out of a 26" barrel. I was thinking about going down in weight to pick up some velocity after trying...

    Help with 1-6 or 1-8 for 16" 308 AR

    So I'm going to be finishing up my 16" 308 AR soon and I need to get glass. I've looked and researched and settled on a burris xtrii or trijicon accupower unless someone recommends something else. Price needs to be $1,200 or less. Daylight bright...

    Wait for PVA or....?

    Haha, Sorry man, but I've been there. If PVA gives you a lead time, double it at least. Cut your losses and buy something else. Too many great options out there to deal with any BS.

    Anyone For A Pistol Video? HK VP9

    Vp9 is my favorite polymer/striker pistol. I've tried almost all of them. Pistols are such a personal preference thing. It's funny when people get their panties in a wad about them.

    Maggie’s Pappy van winkle

    Yeah, i didn't know if that was a good representation of what Irish whiskey is or not. I'm not opposed to going up in price if it means finding something I'll like. I've spent more on bourbons that i was less than happy with, haha.

    Maggie’s Pappy van winkle

    I've been thinking of trying a good Irish whiskey. I'm a bourbon guy, but i haven't really branched out into other styles of whiskey. I tried a shooter sized bottle of Tullamore Dew and it wasn't bad, but it was just very bland. Almost no flavor at all compared to the bourbons I'm used to...

    Maggie’s Pappy van winkle

    You're right about the 46. Wasn't sure how much the different finishing actually made a difference. I was just saying, before you go out and spend pappy money, try something that is at least similar in style, assuming pappy would be a better version of that. Better yet, as you said, try the real...

    Maggie’s Pappy van winkle

    1920 is one of my favorites. My local liquor store has a store pick single barrel from old forester that is also very good. I'll definitely be trying more of the old forester lineup in the future.

    Maggie’s Pappy van winkle

    I've never had any of the pappy products, but before i ponied up even retail prices for it, i would make sure that i liked wheated bourbons in general. The only wheated ones i have tried have been larceny and makers 46. (I'm sure I've had standard makers in the past but that was when i was young...

    Rifle Scopes still don't understand why less magnification is better

    I'm sure someone around here can give an accurate, scientific answer, but i would guess it's just about perception. Kinda like how a photo at 5"x7" can look crisp and sharp and in focus, but blow it up to poster size and it looks terrible. All those imperfections are still in the smaller photo...

    If you were to completely restart your career...

    I would say if you want to be your own boss, any type of trade. Where i live you can't find a contractor that will take on a small job. They are booked up with big jobs and don't have time to piddle with little stuff. Supply of good tradesmen/contractors is only going down because young people...

    Rifle Scopes still don't understand why less magnification is better

    In that situation (zeroing a rifle on paper or testing ammo for group size) you would want the max magnification available. But practically speaking, 25x is plenty for such situations. What you have to understand about the magnification debate is it's all about picking the right tool for the...

    Rifle Scopes still don't understand why less magnification is better

    Yeah, my minox zp5 5-25 looks outstanding at 25x...when conditions allow. They rarely do where i shoot, so i tend to dial back a little. Even if conditions consistently allowed for shooting with a 35x scope, i would probably still never do it. I just don't ever see the need for what i do. Only...

    Rifle Scopes still don't understand why less magnification is better

    Mirage, field of view, more forgiving eye box/parallax. You don't have to choose between 10x and 25x with a ffp scope. Anything in between works and i think that's the sweet spot you'll find most shooting at. If more is automatically better, why don't you see 40x or more power scopes at prs or...

    Rifle Scopes Razor HD Gen 3 - what’s next?

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the people complaining about weight don't shoot prs, or they have other non-prs guns they would like glass for.

    Suppressors Sharing Suppressor between Bolt Gun and ar15?

    You'll be happy with it. I've got two Q cans that run on the cherry bomb. It's simple and effective. I've never had one come loose or get stuck. Returns to zero extremely well. A lot of people (especially on snipershide) can't get over Kevin's personality (he is kinda a dick) but his products...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Pistol Light

    I'm interested in this light for a concealed carry gun. Do you have experience with other lights to compare it to? Anything you would change about it?
