    self winding tactical watches.... suggestions please

    I know it's hard to believe, but you're right, I haven't read every thread in every sub-forum. In fact, I almost never visit the Bear Pit - even though it means depriving myself of the 87 page NOM NOM NOM thread. But I stand by my original post - if I want advice on a long range scope it makes...

    self winding tactical watches.... suggestions please

    Look at Damasko (if bought used will be slightly over your budget) Seiko Orange Monster or Black Monster. It will be more money but a used Omega Seamaster would also fit the bill. Funny OP wants to stay under $1,000 and multiple people recommend a Rolex Sea Dweller.:ROFLMAO: Basically 9-12...

    American Ammunition Company 77gr SMK HPBT

    Have never chrnono'd it so I can't speak to how consistent the velocity is. But I haven't experienced any cracked cases shooting it out of an AR. Was just at the range today shooting this ammo through my LaRue 16" upper. Was getting 5 shot groups mostly between .8" and 1.25" at 100 yards...

    Anyone have a Sig 516?

    Agreed. Hard to complain about a little extra weight, particularly in the front, when I've recently been shooting mostly suppressed. :)

    Anyone have a Sig 516?

    Well any piston AR is going to weigh more than a comparable DI and be somewhat front heavy.

    Anyone have a Sig 516?

    No, not the rifle, just the upper. So a deal, not a steal.:) I think some guys were able to get uppers for under $500. Tough to even find them now, and I think they're going for approx. $1,000.

    Anyone have a Sig 516?

    Got one when they were priced pretty aggressively. I paid under $600 OTD. At that price it was a no brainer. Picked up a used Sig suppressor for something like $200 (plus the $200 tax) and slapped a Primary Arms 4x optic on it. Gun has been 100% reliable and is a ton of fun to shoot. With...

    Why is larue never compared?

    I own a couple of LaRue's (one a couple of years old, the other I've had for 15+ years). When you could buy an Ultimate upper kit (for something like $800, if my memory is correct) they were a great value. Accurate and well made. Prices have really jumped recently, and at their current level...

    Go to factory/reman ammo?

    Not a reloader, so I have zero to contribute on that front. However, I have to agree with BurtG on Hornady American Gunner being good ammo for the price. While it has been a while since I've shot any, my experience based on shooting several hundred rounds at distances out to about 800 yards is...

    Go to factory/reman ammo?

    This. If you're willing to give up a little accuracy Hornady also makes American Gunner in 6.5 CM, but it may be hard to find.

    Aimpoint pro, Trijicon MRO? Eotech?

    Like OP, I'm not military/LEO, just an enthusiast that likes to shoot. I own multiple AR's (mostly SBR's) and I shoot primarily suppressed. Probably put 4-5000 rounds through my AR's a year - the vast majority shooting offhand and doing various drills. I personally like both MRO's and...

    How To Improve Split Times

    I've got to go with the Pirate on this one. Sorry, but given the choice between following the advice of some random dude on the internet or a top shooter - someone who makes his living shooting pistols, competing in tournaments and giving classes, I'm going to go with the latter. And, based on...

    Which One Should I Buy, SIG 516 Or Noveske N4

    There was a time when you could buy complete 516 uppers for $600. Some guys picked them up for even less. That being the case, I suspect if you are patient you could probably find a used one for a damn good price. So maybe get the Noveske and then wait for a 516 upper. And as someone who...

    Suppressors *** NEW *** Dead Air Sandman-S vs. Nomad-LT on .300 BLK w/ 220 Subs

    This is how I end up with multiple AR's. In my case I always seem to have a couple of extra BCG's lying around, so I don't have to spend the money on one now. Of course the next time I can pick up a Toolcraft or Microbest BCG for cheap I'll probably buy another one, so I always have a couple...

    Suppressors *** NEW *** Dead Air Sandman-S vs. Nomad-LT on .300 BLK w/ 220 Subs

    FuhQ - Thanks for the video. Watched with great interest, as I just picked up a blemished AeroPrecision 8" 300 BLK upper (at $250 w/ free shipping I just couldn't pass it up). Will probably end up suppressing it with my Sandman S, so a very similar set up to yours. Also really like the...

    Suppressors Kgm R338 suppressor

    I believe the stuff from KGM is long gone. Bereli stiill has some R5.56 and R30T cans for approx. 50% off retail. Not the prices I picked them up for, but still a pretty good deal. https://www.bereli.com/suppressors/

    Anyone own a Gallow Technology or Secureit gunsafes?

    I own a Gallow Tech cabinet that I installed when I built my house. It is bolted into the wall. Agree that this is more a storage system than a security system. Lots of flexibiliity in how you store your rifles, so you can use space very efficiently. And if the goal is to keep young children...

    Anyone with a lot of rounds through SSG-3000?

    Mine is a total hammer. 1/2 to 3/4 MOA. Once shot a 20 round group that was a hair over 1 MOA with round 20 opening things up by .1-.2 MOA. And that was using FGMM, not handloads.

    Gunsmithing I need help choosing BEST 300 Blackout in 10.5

    Sounds like Padom has your answer. If you're willing to be a little flexible about barrel length you might look at Wilson Combat. No personal experience with one, but I think they have a pretty good reputation for accuracy.

    Suppressors Kgm R338 suppressor

    So I have a KGMR556 can and an R30T in jail. I haven't put a lot of rounds through the 5.56 can, but I've been very happy with it. Suppression is good. I like the sound signature. Not much blowback. And I like the attachment system. The fact that they seem to have some big gov. contracts...
