    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt + 2nd hunt update

    Well, much appreciation for the fact you just made me fall in love with the NOX35 all over again. I will say it is apples and oranges - NOX = 2X more expensive, dedicated unit, and while "American" may not be a metric that makes it "better"... but, also lacks a single bell, and does not have...

    Craddock RTR

    On of my buddies had a barrel that is a laser with SST - *KEYHOLES ELD* - and hold MOA with black tip. Barrels are weird.

    Night Vision Burris BTS 50 Thermal Scope

    We've killed a ton with one of these, great units.

    Craddock RTR

    Awesome. I've also had some surprisingly good results from the black tip accuracy wise. Haven't gotten around to doing much work on pigs with it yet. Between rain and work demands, my grand plans of a long day at the range hasn't manifested, but it will.

    Ammo 7n6 Poison Pill 5.45x39 ammo

    Got this from a buddy who inexplicably opened two tins. The ammo is still lacquer sealed and has been in climate control since opened. I think 50 cents a round is as cheap as it gets online - two cases of 1,080 (each opened) plus several hundred loose rounds. ETA - one tin minimum to ship or...

    Best QD Suppressor Mount for 300BLK?

    QD means different things to different people - I don't think you can beat Thunder Beast CB for accuracy / repeatability. Takes a few seconds to spin can off or on.

    Tightest Lockup Receiver Set

    Raising threads from the dead... Just had a buddy buy a receiver set that wasn't cheap and was a little more rattle trappy than one would have expected, so I took some reference measurements for him to set the expectation on an exchange, which they agreed to do. With that said, I'm not here to...

    Craddock RTR

    Playing with the one I have an ACOG on in TX, we were stacking bullets at 100 so I have high hopes with a 20X on a bag

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt + 2nd hunt update

    It isn't even a contest. The laser puts it in another league and you can't disregard the mount. That is like saying - disregarding cats being from the devil, which do you prefer - cats or dogs? They are not the same species between the mount and laser. The Steiner clip Burris adaption isn't a...

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt + 2nd hunt update

    Its a loaner, it would be great if they just let writers keep test units, but alas they expect it back in ~ 60 days

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt + 2nd hunt update

    TLDR - Good clarity, range finder works as advertised, seems like this unit might be a "If I could only have one" level unit, if on a $3000-ish budget Full and fair disclosure, I got this unit for T&E from Athlon. I'm not being paid by them, nor are they advertising in exchange. I'm just...

    Craddock RTR

    At the end of the day, very glad to hear the barrel is capable of sub MOA. I'll get a detailed range day up ASAP of the 3 RTR variants I'm working with but so far they seem to be doing well in practice In other news, I found another application for those barrels...

    Craddock RTR

    Well, my range trip was forced short and practical due to work and upcoming hog hunt - BUT - the 13.9" Craddock Pangris barrels ran 100% and accuracy looks very promising - one rifle had a 3.5X ACOG and the other a thermal scope so nothing worth photographing or writing home about quite yet...

    Considering a 13.9” upper to go with my 18” 6.5 Grendel.. thoughts?

    For better or worse, to some degree I am, but one more is as far as I'll let it go. I'm guessing there are other 2.1"+ options, I haven't researched them as of yet
