    B14R Setup for New Shooter

    TT Diamond works fine in mine. It seems to be a case by case basis (probably tolerance stacking). Any age should be fine. I would hope your squad would behave and any match director worth their clipboard would enforce age-appropriate language.

    Best competitive Sniper Rifle

    First things first. You have to figure out if you are a Tom Berenger or a Billy Zane.

    B14R Setup for New Shooter

    I have Seekins .92" on my B14r with EGW 20MOA rail and a Kahles 5-25x56. It clears with a Tenebraex cap or a DFAT on the objective bell.

    Q Erector 22 on a precision rifle (actual experience please)

    Maybe see if you can get the Q folks to meet you at a local range with their wares and try for yourself. They are right across the bridge on RT1A (just before the Kittery Trading Post FOB) in Portsmouth. I got a beer tour of the place from one of the project managers a couple of years ago and...

    Jonathon Ciener

    Ceiner's website says he has retired and left ordering instructions regarding ordering remaining stock. Unfortunately, it appears that Mini-14 magazines are all gone. I have heard he has an 80 grit personality.

    Vertical grip for a chassis ?

    I got the MKM Adaptive Precision Grip for an XLR Envy Pro I won. I haven't spent much time with it, but it sure feels good in the little time I have spend with it. It also has A LOT of options that go along with it.

    Dead Air Mask vs TBAC Takedown?

    I got the Mask when it first came out and love it. I also would not hesitate to buy a TBAC. It's really personal preference between the two.

    22 Volquartson

    Ditto on the 10rd and Tandemkross doublekross mags. Mine was a spare until the wife decided it was her PRS 22 rig.

    22 Volquartson

    I have the OG PWS with their carbon fiber barrel and trigger group. I think it is a lot of fun and the fact that you can use a lot of 10/22 aftermarket helps, but I also paid half of what VQ is asking for theirs. Once I am at the over $1k, I'm going to press on to custom. That said, it is a lot...

    SIG P322

    It sounds like it was a limited roll-out. I live 15min. from the factory and the only one I have seen is the one my BIL snatched up. The guys at the counter said they only received four and they are a big place within 20min of the manufacturer. I could also be 100% wrong and it's like every...

    R700 .223 to .308

    I have a similar problem and came to the conclusion to sell them and buy an Origin action or two.

    Spotters Bushnell Forge 15x56 vs Vortex Kaibab 18x56

    I have no experience with the Kaibabs, but I have two seasons behind the Forge and am a fan. Like you, I bought them as a place holder for a pair of SLCs. Others that have gotten behind my Forges usually have favorable things to say about them.

    New 6” Python vs MR73

    I wanted to like the Python reboot, but it just doesn't feel the same. I have been having a lot of fun lately with a S&W 327 TRR8, though.

    Stuff you don't mix: ARC Rings, LPVOs, Wood Furniture, Suppressed Single Shot

    I would think a leather Ching Sling or Rhodesian Sling from Andy's Leather would be perfect. Or in Biothane if you want the true ying/yang of old and new. Ching slings are what Jeff Cooper spec'ed out for his scout rifle concept. Andy's Leather

    Stuff you don't mix: ARC Rings, LPVOs, Wood Furniture, Suppressed Single Shot

    Who did the work? I wouldn't mind something like that in 350 Rem Mag.

    SIG P322

    I wound up putting a Holosun HS507K-X2 on it. Mates up and looks appropriate on there. I put a couple of mags naked and couple with my DA Mask and it was fun. I'm more of a Ruger Mk4 fan, but I can see it as a rimfire trainer.

    Optics???

    I went round and round with rimfire optics in that price range. I went with a gently-used Kahles K525i. There is better at the $3400 MSRP, but it is great at $2400 used. I would also strongly look at Burris XTR 3 or Pro.

    First Mars Comp..... Any advice?

    This. ⬆️ I encourage folks to jump on my binos while I'm setting up for that or the next stage. Checking out others' glass will also help you define what your glass/tripod/etc. requirements will be. Maybe even help skip that expensive phase two.

    First Mars Comp..... Any advice?

    If you show up with nothing but a good attitude, water, sunblock, bud dope, and ammo (or offer to pay for ammo) you'll get taken care of. Be observant, watch folks routines/rituals and ask questions. Look for the three phases of shooters: 1. The new guy/gal that doesn't have much and asks...

    SOLD Mystery Ranch 2 or 3 day Assualt pack size L/XL

    Not sure if you are still in the market, but I have a Coyote SATL Assault Ruck I am looking to sell/trade.
