    Night Vision Flir Pts 536 Equivalent

    Well, with flir discontinuing to us normal folk. What would be an equivalent scope by another manufacturer, pulsar, atn, etc? Looking at a trail xp50 but I haven’t had one hands on. I liked the 536 I used.. Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Wedge Prism

    How do the thread on versions account for leveling the prism? Rotated from vertical you would be adding wind, or worse 180 off it would be removing elevation. Thread somewhat on and level with a lock ring?

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Wedge Prism

    Looks like the same concept as the Alpha Tarac. That’s speculation, don’t chastise me.. One nice thing is Nf will probably have availability without a wait list.

    Thoughts on the Trijicon Ventus. "wind reader"

    Devils advocate.. you people don’t know what to do with wind at one point, what will you do with five points of data!! It’s cool tech and I’m glad to see it potentially available to civis.

    Gunsmithing Are there classes where you go to build a precision bolt action rifle?

    Learn to run a lathe and a mill. There has been so much good info posted on this site by the big names over the years that once you start turning you will learn what you like, figure out what works and realize where to spend your money on tooling. As chad said.. a thawed check book.. lol...

    Looking for action that locks bolt handle closed

    The tikka’s work in the same function. My browning A-bolt locks the bolt shut when the safety is on. I never confirmed the pin height that it blocks the firing pin or not.. I would assume so, but you know what they say about assume.

    Looking for action that locks bolt handle closed

    Sako TRG trigger safety engages a pin that locks the bolt closed and the firing pin in the cocked position. Even if the trigger some how released the pin would retain the spring tension and stop the firing pin.

    Auto Trickler V3 Questions Before I Buy

    Common theme with DWS. My V3 showed up around thanksgiving (main board was missing). They claimed it shipped today. I’ll believe it when I see it. Called, continued to get run around. Emailed Adam last weekend, he said nothing he could do.. then cc’d DWS who I was already in contact with...

    LRA Bipods gone for good?

    I had one on back order for about a year through euro, finally gave up. The $80 knockoff on egay is a solid bipod. Comparing side by each, the Chinese version to a real deal LRA there isn’t much for noticeable differences. Basic hardware is what’s noticeable. Regardless, I never liked the...

    Equipment Trends

    Ding ding ding! That’s how I feel about it. I’ve built what I want/need. Now it’s nice to be able to use and enjoy it. Swap a barrel once and a while and the rifle always feels like a favorite out of boots. Just works.

    Gunsmithing Adding a shoulder

    Don’t use a shoulder. Square up the front of the barrel and align off that, and make a bushing to fit. . Similar to Geno’s solution.

    WTB: AI LH LA Chassis or 300 Win Rifle

    Norma mag case is such a better deal than the belted mag. Then one bolt covers all the needs, really is the way to go. I was looking for a wm bolt for my trg, then bit the bullet and did a norma improved, love it. If only sako made a trg in left hand..
