    Suppressors I'm no suppressor fanatic but WOW TBAC

    Buying and owning a can is a painful endeavor. Buying TBAC is insurance that it won't be any more painful than is necessary. Their products are also very high performance/quality. 338 Ultra is one of the most impressive pieces of kit I've ever encountered in the firearms industry (right up...

    What is the best scope for Sako TRG-42 in .338 Lapua

    TT, ZCO, S&B. With that kind of budget, I hope you aren't going to rely on internet strangers to tell you what to buy. If you can afford the best but can't identify the best on your own, then you probably won't be able to tell the difference.

    Action receiver/barrel thread length

    Not an expert by any means, but Robert Gradous once explained to me that only the first few tenon threads of the barrel actually engage the receiver in a load bearing way, so no strength or rigidity is gained by a longer tenon. Intuitively it makes sense to me that reducing the diameter of the...

    Joke Of The Day

    Who’s a good smith?

    I've used a bunch of top smiths around the country, and after experiencing Mark Gordon @ Short Action Customs I only use him. Lots of good smiths though.

    Sako S20

    I decided to pull the trigger on a 300 Win Mag S20 Precision as a medium range elk hunting rifle. I will be shooting the 200 grain Accubond primarily. I ordered it sight unseen from EuroOptic since none of my local dealers had one. The main selling points for me were: -Sako quality and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best sub compact carry weapon for lefties?

    I'm a lefty and I carry a 365XL. For a carry weapon, the location of the controls (mag release, slide release) doesn't matter to me because I don't ever anticipate needing more than one magazine, and I don't carry extra magazines.

    Suppressors Thunder Beast Dominus, Dominus-K and 338 SR on 300BO

    I have never played with an SR, so I can't comment on them. But I have never had an issue with the standard Ultra and don't see the need for any additional mounting security for my use cases. To me the SR makes more sense when your rifle is bouncing around in a Humvee or helicopter. As a...
