    The Fix from Q

    Yeah, that's kind of crazy. They definitely went up in price, dramatically. Still a hex though.

    SR-25, am I buying a name or true performance?

    I have had access to fewer Larue than KAC's. All of them though, were more accurate and more reliable. Also, the Larue is much easier to shoot well, and shoots more like a bolt gun, fwiw. The KAC takes some practice to get the most out of it. I forget what the number is, but KAC told me what...

    SR-25, am I buying a name or true performance?

    Well, I guess I'll have to dissent a little. I have an SR-15, it is the best AR I've ever had, and I am a hard core Colt M4 guy. I currently have an M110 issued, and had a MK11 in the past, also issued. They are both very cool guns, but neither comes close to the accuracy or reliability of my...

    Suppressors Ultra 5 on 12" 6.5 Grendel, Initial Results

    I worded my question poorly. I figured from your post that you went a route similar to the one you laid out above. It is clearly a very nice setup, but I am curious if anyone makes a complete upper that is good to go in th 11.5-12.5" range. I would rather not build another one up, but if...

    Rifle Scopes Need Opinions: Low Power Variable

    I think the idea is appealing, but other than a small weight savings, I think an aimpoint with a 3X magnifier behind it is a better way to go for any kind of tactical use.

    Suppressors Q Suppressors

    I've talked to Zac a fair bit about that option, and I'm not saying its a bad way to go. You do gain the performance, but you don't gain the weight savings or another can, and the cost last time I checked was something like $750. For that kind of money, I want a seperate, lighter can.

    Suppressors Suppressor covers

    I have been using the high temp version of the Armageddon gear cover since asking about an upgrade here. Very happy with it. Mirage is mitigated well for a 20 plus rd string. I would have like to go with the Bowers (I have one on a .22, mostly for protection of the can), but since mirage was...

    The Fix from Q

    Not sure what happened at Q with the sling swivels, but they had lots of trouble with them so I guess they went this route to at least get some out. Not elegant at all, but I like how low profile and lightweight they are. My only gripe with them is the hex fastener. One of the selling points...

    Rifle Scopes Need Opinions: Low Power Variable

    We ran the compact acogs during the early days of the Afghan war. Meh. I swapped to an aimpoint as soon as possible. They really can be like looking through a soda straw. On top of that, the turrets always needed help to understand that a change was being made, and that we wanted that change...

    Recommendations on barrel length for my .308

    I've run a 16" 308 in competition and done well, fwiw. A 20" will do about anything you can do with that load, which is what I use now.

    Rifle Scopes Need Opinions: Low Power Variable

    Good to know about the SWFA, thanks. I think I've said it before, but I'm a NF snob. Fully biased. Happy to be so. For the OP, the SWFA will be much less money, and may be worth looking at. Also, I have a Trijicon 1-8. Good, but heavy and not a standout, imo. I still would go light weight...

    Rifle Scopes Need Opinions: Low Power Variable

    I ran a 1-4 NF for many years. No illum needed, unless I went indoors. I still run a 2.5-10, and I use it the same way. The NX8 is awesome, and nothing comes close for the weight, but for my use, the 2.5-10 is better. If you are willing to look at a Vortex weight optic, then the only real...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Those guns cannot be beat at those prices, or anything close. I like my T3 lite , .223 so much, that I find myself trying to take it with me on trips. The Fix is what actually comes with me much of the time, simply because it is so compact and light. The case it came with fits my scoped gun...

    Advanced Marksmanship Help me get better at PRS - Video attached - December Update

    To tag on for a second, the difference among the best shooters in any given sport, is almost always their mental game. Some really talented shooters have basically no mental game, where others who are not quite as good, but have a great mental game, can come really close or surpass them given...

    Purpose of 20" 338 LM rifles

    I don't know what you're talking about. I saved a ton of money by repurposing my MP5SD3 can onto my 300 WM. The opening was a little big, and HK uses some silly european thread spec, so I fixed it with some 150 mph tape and some of that steel wrap tape. Works great. I load 60 grain lead...

    MPA BA Competition Vs KRG Whiskey 3?

    I view the MPA as a competition only chassis, and the W3 as an all around option. Just depends what you want to do.

    Purpose of 20" 338 LM rifles

    Yes, but I'm not talking about that. eta: Actually, old age seems to be creeping up faster everyday and my memory needs time to warm up. The guns I'm talking about actually had 18" barrels. yes, based on TH's teachings, but chosen because of a specific mission profile. Those guns didn't...

    Purpose of 20" 338 LM rifles

    Yes, but some units also had specific requirements that the 20" 338 met. At least, they thought they did.

    JP low mass BCG

    I'm an issued M4 kinda guy, since that works the best and is the most proven. So with that said, my JP 224V has the SCS buffer setup and it is really nice. Hard to think the old setup is better. The whole gun is just incredibly silky and solid.
