    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    I know that frame and I hate that fucking thing. The only thing worse was that shitty aluminum frame with the thumbholes at the bottom for the old recon shuffle. "Hate" might not be a strong enough term...

    Gen 3 BRN-180

    I hear that often (which is why I mentioned it) but also have different experiences, for what it's worth. I have an 8.6blk barrel from them that shoots well. Admittedly, it is an N=1 for me, but maybe I'll get lucky twice.

    Gen 3 BRN-180

    I think I read the barrels are faxon, make of that what you will. I have a gen2 in 300blk and accuracy has been on par with other makers, but it isn't a 1k gun nor do I expect it to be. I have a 13.9 headed my way, 556, will do some mid-range testing with it, but the value of that platform to...

    Gen 3 BRN-180

    You are correct in most ways. There are now 2 holes, but both are sealed - mostly. My big gripe for the gen 1 and 2 is the gaping hole on the right side at all times (at least for the 300blk version), and that is now addressed - by adding a second point of entry - and mostly sealing both. The...

    Gen 3 BRN-180

    Yes, I did a search, no results. Does anyone have a gen3 yet? Compared to gen 2, is it worth the swap? I shoot lefty often so the left side charging handle isn't necessarily a good thing. The sealed upper is, and they are hella maneuverable due to light weight up front and very light weight...

    Nxs 2.5-10 on a longer range hunting rifle?

    I will respectfully disagree on the utility of christmas tree reticles. There were many years I was a turret-spinning fool, stuck in my ways - then I got one and started using it in earnest, and now - quite honestly - fuck those turrets. Everything that matters comes down to details, and I do...

    Thermal Coyote hunting round

    I have a 243AI I absolutely love for yotes and hogs, but it is a heavy bolt gun and not a stalker. That said, it is a laser and the most accurate rifle/round I have. For movement hunting, I stick with ARs just for comfort/confidence and easy of use. My 6.5s get a steady diet of Hornady ammo...

    MPVO Opinions

    No budget constraints: 1.5-15x42 March and done. That scope is titties. I also run the NF 2.5-10, but the March is easier to get behind and a prettier view when there. Both run with a thermal clip-on at times and the March is perfect for that application.

    Thermal Coyote hunting round

    I hunt yotes pretty regularly and think you have a bullet problem more than a rifle problem. That said, if you want a new gun, 6.5G is my go-to. I helped a friend set up a 6 ARC for the same purposes and he loves it, shoots flat, mild recoil. Whatever gun you swap to, consider a varmint...

    Bolt action 8.6 blk.....

    Was a joke, lighten up, all is well.

    Bolt action 8.6 blk.....

    Only the first shot was through the 30-cal end cap; all subsequent shots were through the 34-cal end cap. Any machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough.

    Nxs 2.5-10 on a longer range hunting rifle?

    I run the 2.5-10x42 on a gasser 308 and love it for what the gun does, and have the 2.5-20 on a 6.5G that reaches out to 1k when needed. Both scopes are great, the 2.5-10 is a better match to a more compact gun, but damn the 2.5-20 has versatility for a bit more weight and length…

    What’s the art behind hunting rifle accuracy

    Have written several paragraphs and deleted them all; not trying to start a flame war. Get a suppressor, or get some training in recoil management. Short of that, buy meat at the grocery store.

    Best 5.56 bullet for Coyotes

    This thread entertains me; thank you. If we were talking about trophy-taking of African game on a bucket list hunt, I’d get it. We are talking about yotes… In a word, glorious. Thank you all!

    Night Vision Sig ECHO CV25 LWIR 640x512 Thermal Clip-On

    Am curious why some don't run C35 (either gen) in front of a 50mm scope, can someone clarify? Maybe I am the moron here, I have run mine almost exclusively in front of 50+ since I want long range low light for when the thermal isn't needed. If I run it only in front of a 1-6 or 1-8, I am back...

    Advice for hunting scope: Nightforce SHV 3-10 or older Swarovski 1.5-6?

    You done good. For a hunter, swaro all the way.

    22arc versus 6 arc

    I have a friend that just built a 6mm ARC and it is impressive. That said, my mid-range gasser is a 6.5G and I won't be selling mine to invest in anything currently on the market. The task picks the tool, and I have been super happy with my 6.5Gs, though I care less about ringing steel and...

    Spotters Vortex Fury HD 5000 questions… Also AB model $999 currently from Scheels

    Warranty is the singular reason to purchase. Lifetime on electronics is not normal, and will eventually go away - I would guess. Enjoy it while you can!

    Spotters Vortex Fury HD 5000 questions… Also AB model $999 currently from Scheels

    I like the ranging capabilities of mine, but haven't loved them in low light. Granted, my backup is leica ultravid 10x42, so not an apples/apples comparison.

    AI AW Scope Mount

    Actually, I might have one, the 45 MOA version, 34mm rings. It came on an AIAWM I bought years ago - and put a Spurh on. Let me check if it is pic rail or dovetail.
