    Sidearms & Scatterguns SilencerCo threaded barrels

    I've got one on an HK VP9. No complaints. It is as accurate as I need it to be and it holds my can just fine. I have not had any issues with it.

    Suppressors TBAC Takedown 22, AAC Element 2, Dead Air Mask 22......?

    Element 2 is a great can and I have no regrets buying it, but it is missing some features that the newer cans offer. The take-down requires a tool/pusher and the baffles don't "seal" off the inside of the tube like the other two options do making it a bit harder to clean. Performance wise, it...

    Suppressors Which 9mm can?

    Rugged Obsidian 45 is a sweet can. They just recently came out with the Obsidian 9, but I have no experience with that one, only the 45. Both are full auto rated, and modular so you can take a few inches and ounces off each one. In their full length configurations they are very comparable in...

    Ultra packable rain gear.

    I have an Outdoor Research Helium HD that I use in the Arizona monsoon season where it is sunny and 95 and a torrential downpour 5 minutes later. Weighs 9 oz, and packs down to between a baseball and softball. I typically clip it to a belt loop or shove it in a cargo pocket of my shorts. You...

    Howa 1500 Barreled action from PTG: .223 Trainer Setup/ DMB Tactical Feeding

    Have a Weatherby Vanguard S2, so a rebranded Howa, in a MPA chassis in 6.5 Creedmoor. No issues feeding or extracting that I have ran into, using 5 and 10 AI mags as well as the Magpul 5 and 10 round mags. This is the first one I have had built up but it is my 3rd Vanguard, love the action...

    Federal GMM 6.5 creedmoor

    Howa 1500, Proof Research 20" carbon, built by SAC. My rifle didn't seem to like it very much, 1.21" at 100 yds. Vertical was right at .25", but the horizontal opened up to the 1.21". Not terrible by any means, but it consistently shoots 140 and 147 ELDs inside .50".

    Need help flying with a firearm

    Smoothy, I have ran into the same thing once. I was flying with my rifle in a dragbag inside a Storm i3300, I had locks on 2 of the 4 lock points. TSA supervisor was insisting that each lock point needed a lock. I had the TSA reg pulled up on my phone showing the TSA supervisor that nowhere in...

    Need help flying with a firearm

    Definitely DO NOT use TSA locks, it is specifically spelled out in TSA guidelines that gun case locks are not to be TSA style locks, as in ONLY YOU CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE GUN. According to the TSA regs the case has to be "locked hard sided container." I have ran into issues where using a Storm...

    Steiner Tactical 10x42 R's ?

    Anyone out there have any experience with these? I've tried searching around and haven't had much luck finding much info on them. Basically curious if anyone has any first hand knowledge or experience on using these for spotting steel. I have some pretty sweet glass already in binos, a set of...

    Some honest reviews of my howa 1500 and Big Horn Arms TL-3

    Nice stuff, big fan of the Howa 1500. Lot of details and touches for a great price. You mentioned AZ in your video, curious what range you are shooting at?

    Witt Machine Clamp on MuzzleBrake?

    I picked one up last summer during one of their sales. I have no complaints, I put it on a Rem 700 LSS in 300 RUM, tamed the recoil pretty well. Followed the instructions on measuring the barrel, has a nice snug fit and clamped down fine, no issues.

    Witt machine clamp on brake

    Put one on a 300 RUM hunting rifle, made a significant difference in the recoil, takes it down to what my 257 Wby feels like. Fit, and finish are great and the performance is better than I was expecting.

    Suppressors Help me pick a 45 acp can

    Rugged Obsidian is a pretty sweet can, love mine. Use it on an FNX-45 Tac, and a VP9 with the SiCo threaded barrel, performs great on both. Breaks down easy for cleaning and it is modular so you can take about 2" off the end and shed a few ounces of weight, performance in the short...

    Best Mass Produced Long Range Rifle Under $1000?

    Howa's/Vanguard are great. Don't let them scare you off. The aftermarket isn't as vast as for the 700 but everything you need is out there and can be found. Stock options, chassis options, DBM, triggers, it's all there, you just might have to spend a few more minutes looking for what you need...

    B&C M40 stock for an AAC-SD. .308

    I have that exact set up, 700 AAC-SD in the B&C M40. I really like the stock and for the money I don't think you will have any complaints as long as you go into it knowing what you are getting. I knew when buying I didn't want the adjustable comb and ordered a stock pack with an extra set of...

    Rifle Scopes Leup MK6 3-18x44 beyond 1000y?

    Lw8, yes Leupold does offer a Mil/LE pricing. I have yet to personally use it, as I am currently saving to go all out and get a MK8, but know many who have and they have all liked it. The link has the info needed. Hope it helps. Leupold Tactical Fed/Mil Program | Leupold Optics Shawn
