    Best available over-the-ear hearing protection and why?

    I have the Sordins with gel cups and behind the head strap, they are nice. Haven’t tested them against Peltors, but I’d definitely get them again.

    Rifle Scopes current state of the Steiner T5Xi 3-15 - now (M5Xi vs. Tango6 Gen2 vs. Nightforce F1 4-16)

    I have an M5xi 3-15 H59 on a 16” 308 bolt gun, and a 2.5-10x24 NF on a SPR build. The M5 is bulkier than I (personally) would want on an AR15. That said it’s pretty light, top notch glass, and overall is a tank. I’ve toyed with the idea on putting it on my AR but haven’t done it yet. My...

    Hunting & Fishing Versatile good travel rod and reel

    For a traveling fly rod, I like my TFO BVK. Mine is a 7w and I really like it. Breaks down small, not very expensive, casts nicely.

    Hunting & Fishing Prairie dog thread.

    I just picked up 700 53gr Varmageddons to load up over Tac for pdogs in my AR, few things are as much fun as hunting ground squirrels or prairie dogs. I need to get out this weekend...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for mid to higher end scope with reticles and I can actually see

    A Leupold Mark 5 3.6-18 might be a good fit for you. They have an illuminated TMR reticle option, and the people that have them love them judging by the thread that’s going. It’s small, in your weight range (26oz I think) 44mm objective, reports on glass quality are really good, reticle...

    Affordable tripod?

    I’ll just say that I spent a lot of time looking for tripods on Craigslist when I could have been shooting. The baby boomer hipster fags who are selling manfrottos or some crap on Craigslist because their stupid Gucci camera wobbles... dude get a PIG0311 and shoot. Is it really worth it to...

    What type of rifles do you like in here?

    I don’t care what anyone else thinks, I want a pic of that Mosin when it’s done. Sounds like a pretty cool project.

    Affordable tripod?

    I like my PIG. I picked up a Sunwayfoto XB44 to go with it since I shoot high angles hunting, but you won’t know what’s worth the $ for you until you go for it. Just do it, buy a PIG and a good ballhead, shoot, and don’t overthink it.

    Budget precision AR build for a gift

    Was going to go with the Granite Ridge deal, will check out the BCM blems and ALG. Totally forgot about the Memorial Day sales, good call. I’ll pull the trigger on ordering the Toolcraft BCG today.

    Budget precision AR build for a gift

    Really appreciate the input guys. Missed the Aero sale last night, the Aero upper/handguard set looks solid though. He will probably not do any milling, but definitely will shoot some steel so a FFP for spotting misses, and illum for coyotes at dusk would be ideal, but not a must. I really...

    Budget precision AR build for a gift

    Ok, here’s the situation. I want to put together a tackdriver for a really great guy who would never spend the money on himself. I’m on a limited budget myself, but I have around 1k to spend on this. He has a lower assembly, I’m sure the trigger is crap so I’d like to fit that in if...

    Suppressors Picking a .30 cal can, too many choices

    My brother has a Sandman L, and while I love my Sandman S, my Ultra 9 is noticeable quieter and much lighter than the L. If you want a do-it-all can with heavy semi-auto use, look at the S. Ive seen the S run on a 6.5 at distance, and shot it some as well and it did just fine. The QD mount...

    Rifle Scopes Torn Between What Scope to Choose

    I’m in a similar situation, looking for a scope to go on a 16” 308 bolt gun. The issue I see with the 5-25 class of scopes is field of view given same mag setting/objective size which is why I lean towards lower mag. Currently leaning heavily towards the Mark 5 3.6-18 H59 since I already use...

    RPR's need to be painted

    I ran 25 rds of 308, most as fast as I could work the bolt. Then again,on deployment and in the field I've sat for days with a wet M4, run hot occassionally, and never saw this. Can't carry around a can wd40 everywhere, and like I said I've dragged an M4 through far worse with no rust of any...

    RPR's need to be painted

    First post and all, but I had an account by this name on scout and was on the good guy list, I just read mostly. Two ears, one mouth, you get the idea. I shot a match a few weeks ago in the rain with my RPR. After I was done, threw the rifle in the back of the truck and drove home, camped...
