    TIS slip cuff quick release vs TIS quick cuff

    In my current inventory I have a TIS M24 quick cuff, TIS slip cuff, TAB RAS, TAB QAS, and several Blue Force Gear VCAS slings. I have never owned a regular TAB, but what I can say is I like all of them but for different reasons. I have not found "the one sling" that fits all of my wants/needs...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 3-18x question...

    My brother has a mark 6 on a PBR-XP with a 20 MOA scope rail (leupold rings), I will see if he can tell me how much elevation he has in his scope to compare with yours.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 3-18x question...

    What model spuhr mount do you have? Or can you take a picture of the left side of the mount? Your windage has the correct amount of adjustment, most scopes offer approximately 6 mils in either direction.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 3-18x question...

    The rear of the base will be noticeable taller than the front (Looks like a wedge) when you look at it from the side profile. A 0 moa base will be the same height all the way across the side profile.

    Talk me into a TRG22

    I own a TRG-22 and have shot an AW. Yes the AW is heavier, however I prefer pistol grip / thumb hole over goose neck stock any day. I like the AW magazines as well. The TRG is a fine rifle and shoots well. I would never pay the money for an AW however the new AT has my full attention and I...

    S&B has the same thread pitch, my buddy has a Steiner 5-25x56mm with a S&B sun shade.

    True Co-witness or Lower Third?

    Most of the EO Techs are now set up with lower third co-witness, I am pretty sure if you buy and EO Tech with a throw lever mount it will be 1/3 and a thumb screw mount will be set up for true co-witness. I have not bought an EO-Tech for about 3-4 years so I may be wrong. I still have my 512...

    True Co-witness or Lower Third?

    REMEMBER, when you look through your irons (lower third) you will still see your red dot on the tip of your front sight post just like you would if you had true co-witness, you just have the option of using your red dot only for CQB distances which I find is faster than true co-witness.

    True Co-witness or Lower Third?

    Lower third for me. I like the FOV of just my EO Tech, I have run a EO Tech 512 (true co-witness) and EO Tech 553 (lower third) with my fixed Larue rear sight and A2 sight post. With lower third the rear sight is still usable if need be, just bury your cheek into the stock a little more to...

    Rifle Scopes Will switch barrel rifles begin to effect scope sales? Discuss.

    Until the cost of the multi caliber rifles come down in price, I will say no. These rifles cost a lot of money and at the end of the day there is something to be said for having two or three scoped rifles (Zeroed) ready to go, instead of one rifle that can switch to three different calibers and...

    Which mount for your US Optics SR-8?

    Or a badger ordnance unimount if you do not need throw levers, they offer it in 1.3", 1.4", or 1.5" heights.

    Which mount for your US Optics SR-8?

    I am not a big fan of the Larue LT104 mounts, but I would try an LT111 mount as it is more like conventional scope rings with a throw lever base.

    Triad Stock Pack vs. TacOps Cheek Pad

    Sweet!!! Just curious, why do the modular cards only hold 9rds? My floor plate holds 5rds, I have been looking for a stock pack that holds 10rds since it is a multiple of 5. Call me OCD but I just like having a clean number of reloads on my rifle/person.

    Triad Stock Pack vs. TacOps Cheek Pad

    Triad vs TacOps I say the winner is Triad! Build quality on both is top notch but Triad has more options to fit the end user. I have owned the regular triad stock pack in the past, but currently all of my rifles have the large stock pack. I went this route once the FDAC hit the market a few...

    Boots

    I have three pairs of the Salomon Quest 4D GTX and love them! I have used Danner GTX's, 5.11, OTB, Zamberlan's, Merrell, Rocky, and Matterhorn and they are no match for any of them. The perfect light hiker and all around boot. My buddy has Danners, Lowa, and Salomon and he agrees the Salomons...

    Fieldcraft what is the best tripod system

    Yeah I'm not sure where you heard manfrotto's were flimsy, they are kind of the gold standard that all other tripods are compared. I run the 055CXPRO3, (carbon fiber) it weighs less than the 4lbs and supports all of my rifles. My first tripod I bought was a SILK from PRS and it was okay, works...
