    NV mount for AI AT

    I looked for that mount and found it nowhere. And no, the AICS front end is very different than the AIAW front end - for which the mount was made. By the way, I eventually shelved the AIAWM and built a 300WM and put it in an American Rifle chassis - and it is titties.

    New guy from Houston area

    I hunted South Africa several years ago and had an absolute blast. I took a 300WM, ran it suppressed, and hammered plains game. A few thoughts: 1. There is a service that will handle the import details of your gun, I highly highly recommend using them. It gets you an agent at the air port...

    Spotters Best adapter for phone to spotting scope

    Old thread, but good information. I ran phone skopes for years and had to upgrade every time I got a new phone - and it was not a cheap adapter upgrade. This - if it works as advertised - is a far better solution, since it is not phone-specific. I appreciate the link, will buy this right now...

    New 8.6 Blackout Build

    Where are you located? Mine wears a Faxon barrel, which some here will tell you Faxon 8.6 barrels all suck - but that hasn't been my experience. Are you shooting subs and/or supers? And the 338 Utra is a good can, I have been very happy with the results of my little 8.6 project.

    Custom 300 WM build

    300WM is my favorite caliber for an all-arounder. I've built a few on Stiller actions and don't love the binding of the actions - or maybe it was just the 2 I had. Remington has cleaned up their actions quite a bit, or so my smith tells me - so that is not a bad choice. If you want features...

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 and NX8 Replacement

    "Stone age kinda guy", so prejudicial... but he's not wrong.

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 and NX8 Replacement

    The March 1.5-15 is indeed great, and if contemplating someday going thermal clip-on, it is absolute titties. Another option is the NX8 2.5-20, is a platform you know well in a mag range closer to what you want for the new dream gun. I own both, I run both; my priority for both guns is thermal...

    6.5 Grendel barrel suggestions

    I run 2 6.5Gs, both with Rainier ultramatch barrels, a 12.5 and an 18, absolute titties, very accurate, easy clean-up, highly recommend. I ran mine this weekend next to a proof that cost 2X, the proof was lighter, but not any more accurate. Wilson is trading on name now, not quality, in my...

    6.5 Grendel Barrels selection (late) 2023?

    I've had great luck with Rainier 6.5G barrels, I know they have several length options, I own a 18" and a 12", I think - both shoot lights-out.

    Big game all-rounder

    Have hunted most of North American game and lots of plains South African, did it all with 300WM running purpose-built bullets - wouldn’t trade it for anything else. Ammo availability and selection is good, confidence in the caliber is paramount. Mileage varies but my go-to caliber has never let...

    Digital vs. Optical scopes

    Forget the tech, get a decent day scope and learn it very very well. What limits your abilities will be marksmanship mechanics over what bells and what whistles you bring with you to the range. You probably won't believe this, but there was a time before laser rangefinders and digital toys...

    AR 10 8.6 Blackout builds

    45-90, with as much ax as you have ground on the Faxon barrel thing, I'm amazed you have any more ax left... To the OP, when you eventually decide to go a different route on the rail, White Oak makes a 2" inner diameter rail that is perfect for nesting a 338 can - I've run a few large bore AR...

    Top Tier Scope for 6.4# .300 PRC

    I have a 300 WM that does the same task for me and it wears a ZCO420 which I very much like. It barely busts your weight limit, but is relatively compact, so doesn't move the weight forward and screw up balance. On the March, I don't run that one but do have the 1.5-15 and it is great, but not...

    Suppressor change POI?

    You are asking us to read tea leaves. I don't have any experience with that can, but do with lots and lots of others. My first question would be why in the hillbilly fuck would you shoot a gun unsuppressed ever again? The answer is mostly rhetorical. Often cans will result in a reproducible...

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

    Ask her if she can point them out, tell her "asking for a friend". I would inquire about options for match grade or personal defense, but that might make family reunions a bit more awkward. For you.
