    Best winter gloves

    About 10 years ago I snagged a pair of Wiley X gloves for $5 (normally $120) since they were brand new but had seam not sewed about an inch long. They are leather in the palms and bottom of fingers and some flame resistant synthetic material. They also have the hard knuckle shields. I never...

    Recommendations for a youth rifle

    Don't be leary of a heavier profile barrel and/or rifle = helps reduce recoil as you already know I run a pig saddle on my tripod with whichever kiddo is hunting with me. Does the T3X lite have a thick enough barrel for a can? I'm sure you're already thinking of most of this, just throwing...

    Recommendations for a youth rifle

    I'll come back and follow up. I was I'm same predicament.......added issue for me was having a barrel thick enough for a suppressor. For me, budget was limited. The shorty is a 16 inch 6.5CM my son now 9 yo has used last 2 seasons to harvest a whitetail. I tore it down to the action and...

    Aero Precision M5 build...question about BCG

    Who all is running an Aero M5 7.62 bolt NITRIDE on a 6.5CM. I've built my rifle, life has been crazy busy and I haven't yet fired my rifle. Please chime in if you're running the NITRIDE Aero bolt in a 6.5cm setup.

    Aero M5 Pic rail handguard suggestions

    You want the "tall/DPMS" handguard style. I really wanted to snag an Aero S/R One handguard when I did my M5 build......but they were literally not in stock anywhere at the time. I ended up throwing an AIM Sports 15 inch handguard on my 16 inch 6.5CM Aero m5 build.

    Night Vision Sionyx Opsin

    Definitely interesting I still need to make a post sometime about using my Aurora Sport BEHIND a day optic and using a Luna Elir3. Nope, I don't have a $15k clip on....but damn for the money for hunting coyotes 4 months a year....can't be beat. I tested for zero shift with just day optic...

    Silencerco Radius pouch

    Hit up LARDragoon or some similar user name on here. He made a post at some point showing a brown soft/padded pouch made for a 100 rounds of linked 7.62. I carry my Sig Kilo 2000 in its OEM pouch, then slide that into this soft case

    Short light suppressed whitetail hunting rifle

    Dude once you go short and see results.....especially hunting 600 yard and in....hard NOT to start chopping all kinds of barrels!!! Remind me what caliber you're rocking ? My son's 16 in 6.5cm with form 1 can is 3 single shots and 3 deer harvested. His buck this year was bang flop at 65...

    8.6 Blk reloading info

    I'm still mainly reading and absorbing info. I reload for my 6.5 bolt gun, .223 wylde already and about to start for my Aero M5 6.5CM has gun. One reason I built my AR10 was for the potential to build an 8.6 Blk upper one day. I use the Little Crow Gunworks trimmer for 6.5 and 5.56 brass...

    Remington MSR / PSR bolts

    Awesome to see you pumping out parts that don't exist! How many (approximately) MSR/PSR made it to civilian hands?

    Savage bolt guns

    Like many comments above, you'll find a lot of people spewing nothing but negativity about Savage. I jumped into the long range game back in 2011. Back then a Savage was the only way for a guy on a small budget to enter the game. I snagged a "top bolt release" Model 10 that was a .243...

    AR 308 & 6.5CM barrel length / velocities

    Let me add this I had to buy Wilson Combats gas tube to go with their 16 inch 6.5CM barrel. I forget what they categorized it as.....but if memory serves me right it's 13.25 inches. How does a 13.25 inch gas tube compare to what you've tried?

    AR 308 & 6.5CM barrel length / velocities

    It's facts such as this as to why essentially nobody manufactures 16 inch 6.5CM AR 10 barrels. I do have a JP adjustable gas block and a JP silent capture spring as well. I reload, have a magneetospeed and my cans are Form1's so it makes me less leary to tread down this path. In my opinion it...
