    Looking for a new GPS

    I looked into a handheld GPS recently as well. Mine is an old Magellan Meridian from early 2000's. Amazing it still works at all. The screen inside the housing broke free at some point and it sits at an angle. It's slow an very low resolution. I see that most have better screens now but it...

    Hornady Announces - The 6mmARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) 308 Performance in an AR-15 Package

    Can't wait to make a 6.5 wildcat off this cartridge. JK. Would be cool to get some more options for well made Grendel case head AR bolts though. The cool thing is that 6.5G shooters will also benefit from the market development of this round. Magpul mags?

    Polymer Lower Recievers

    From the research I've done it's tough to design an "AR" lower in the form of a Mil-spec aluminum receiver out of plastic because the buffer tube area just wasn't designed to be made of plastic. I ordered one of the KE Arms lowers from Brownells months ago. I emailed KE and they said they lowers...

    Suppressors pressure washer for rifle can

    Well the OP DID say "22lr through my rifle can" though shooting 556 through a 22lr can would probably greatly reduce the weight of the 22lr can in short order.

    How Much Recoil Does The AR-9 Have?

    Now that I've put quite a few rounds through my CMMG RDB 8" set up, I'll give a little review. It DOES have a good bit less recoil than any blowback gun I've shot. It's much closer to an MP5 clone than a direct blowback. Mine is set up with an A5 buffer and a pretty heavy buffer weight, can't...

    Night Vision I can’t decide which IR Laser

    Basically my first one I ordered in Nov. was lost or stolen when it hit NY customs. I said fuck it and ordered another in the meantime. I let Dmitriy with Zenitco know that I had ordered a second one and he told me he accidentally shipped the wrong color laser to someone else in the states and...

    Night Vision I can’t decide which IR Laser

    In a round about way I did eventually get a Perst4. Now that I've had it a couple months and had an opportunity to hunt with it, figured I'd share. Thankfully it has adjustable intensity because it's really too bright at anything but the first couple settings. On full power it turns a tree into...

    Rifle Scopes So, what about Leupold Mark 5 ?

    I don't doubt they changed things. When I got my 3.6-18 the sunshade was the wrong thread pattern/too small. It wouldn't go on the scope. On closer inspection the ring that screws onto the front of the scope that contains the threads for the sunshade was marked for a Mk. 6, lol. I sent the scope...

    308 plinker powder

    I was in the same scenario recently and decided on 2000MR. It meters consistent AF and you can cram 50 grains of it under a 150 SST. I have them going 2650 out of a 16" gas gun. I've been using 8208 for years in other things but when I tried it in 308 recently I had problems with 175s in my bolt...

    Side charging uppers?

    I've had several Gibbz and put together a few for friends as well. The only problems I've ran into are that one had an oversized pic rail. Too wide so you had to loosen the adjustment on an ADM type clamp way out to get it on. They replaced that one. The other issue is very minor. You'll notice...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex strike fire 2

    My original Strike fire lasted a couple years of carbine competition use where it got banged around quite a bit. One day it wouldn't power on and the rubber cover that holds the power button guts felt crunchy inside. I sent it in and they replaced it with a Strikefire 2. That one lasted about 3...

    Rifle Scopes Burris Rt8

    No specs, no info on the reticles? Strange.

    Rifle Scopes Burris RT-15

    Love my RT6. Curious what the parallax goes down to on this one. The description said: "Shooters from air gunners to long-range rifle enthusiasts will enjoy the featured front focal plane SCR 2 MIL dot reticle, zero click stop adjustment, and the integrated, adjustable throw level for a custom...

    Rifle Scopes Who has switched from red dot to 1x prism?

    I get starburst with red dots but it's not terrible. I'd say it makes a 2 moa dot look more like a 4 moa dot but no strange double images or anything like that. Still perfectly usable for the situations you'd use a RDS. This is with laser corrected eyes that are 20/20 and 20/30 and I'm young...

    What are you putting on your waxed canvas bags

    I love this stuff. Something about the smell is nice too.

    Suppressors Does anyone run "wet" cans anymore?

    My .22 Sparrow on a 22/45 has some pretty noticeable FRP so it benefits greatly from water. The only time I do it is when I take it hunting and want absolute quiet. I've stuck the whole damn thing up to the muzzle in a bucket of water and then shook it out. Works fine. I don't think I'd want...

    Suppressors Aegis products

    I don't think anyone knows for sure but that seems most likely. I saw where another recent startup solvent trap seller said they are selling what they've got and getting out before something like that happens to them. Fuckin government thugs.
