    The Fix from Q

    Just looked at the bobro mount - looks like it allows the Halo to sit pretty far back which makes for a more comfortable shooting position.

    The Fix from Q

    308. I hammer 2-3 hogs a week with a N-Vision Halo-LR on a 308 SLR SBR. Thinking I might change it up and use the Fix with the Halo-LR. So what is the deal with 8.6? I listened to a Q podcast where the CEO discussed 8.6 and sounded like the fun round to explode hogs inside of 300 meters.

    The Fix from Q

    The local gun shop had a few of the Fix in stock so finally got a chance to handle one. My initial feedback is the fucker is light and streamlined. Ordered a Plan B to adapt over my Silencero Chimera. Looking forward to shooting it this week.

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    I had about 7 hours today in fab/welding the sliders for my K30. Decided to incorporate the front cab mount into the slider. Came out pretty trick. And the transfer case is rebuilt and ready to mount the magnum box & paint. Couple more Sundays and I can wheel the frame out for blasting and...

    Pretty badass. Kinda looks like a Wide Open buggy. What motor & trans you running? And there is no way you only used 12 sticks.

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    When I built my building I should have built an additional structure for the air compressor as when that thing comes you cant think or hear the music. And a bathroom; figured we could walk down to the barn, but a bathroom in the building would have been clutch. I am not a welder by trade but...

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    Been working on my 79 Chevy K30 Crawler since late 2020. Got almost all the fab work done. On the list next is to pull the body off the frame and do the finish welding. Aiming for 142-143" wheelbase if I measured right. Rocking a built 12v/NV4500/205 w/ Magnum Box on 41.5s PBRs, walker evans &...

    Maggie’s Metal Buildings

    I built my building 4 years ago thinking it was massive at 92' x 50'. By the time I put my shop in one side and the gym in the other, I should have build a bigger building. However big you think you need, go bigger if you can. And be prepared to pay extra for material. My friend built a...

    I am a lever action fan but what am I missing on this one....these have an MSRP around 1000 bucks....going for over 5k? No way someone is paying that. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/895577430

    Accessories Any chance someone has a Garmin Fenix 6 Sapphire watch?

    I have a Fenix 6 Pro Solar TI and love it. I returned the sapphire because the battery life was crap.

    Best areas to live in TX

    I have lived all over this great country and driven all over Texas and the only part of Texas I would live in is the Hill Country. Every time I drive up Wichita Falls to see Rippetoe this is confirmed. The whole Dallas area is just as bad.

    Best areas to live in TX

    I like Garrison Brothers. Down at the local Specs they have a whole selection of small batch Texas bourbons. Shit is dangerous.

    Best areas to live in TX

    Boerne is a cool spot and anywhere up that Frio River Valley towards Leake is gold. And one of our favorite BBQ spots is in Sisterdale - Blackboard BBQ.

    Best areas to live in TX

    I live in the Hill Country west of Austin on a good sized piece of land. Big enough to hunt with wildlife exemption. 4 years ago we thought we lived in the country but the developments just kept coming. I just got our place refi'd and they put the value on our land at more than what I paid for...

    SR-25 E2 CC vs. SR-25 E2 PC

    Got my SR-25 PC back from milling and a fresh coat. I am now thinking I need to get some FDE furniture. Just looking for free time to take it out.

    12.5” AR-10 .308 SBR Thoughts?

    I shoot without ear pro with suppressors. But I used to rule the pit at every rock show I attended and regularly stood in front of 100k fans screaming at the top of their lunges. So take that with a grain of salt.

    12.5” AR-10 .308 SBR Thoughts?

    I have a 12.5" SLR .308 with a silencerco chimera. With a decent thermal it has been devastating on the hogs and coyotes. Easy to maneuver, minimal recoil and not very loud with the suppressor.
