    Anyone using MDT metal mags with Hawkins Hunter BM

    Quick update, I was completely wrong in my first post. I grabbed a rifle off the shelf with the short action Hawkins Hunter DBM and short action AICS (MDT) mags fit up and locked in perfectly. Looking back I have no clue which one we were messing with that we couldn’t get an AICS mag to fit…...

    Anyone using MDT metal mags with Hawkins Hunter BM

    Hmmmm... I'll have to mess with it again tomorrow. I just had a rifle in the shop with the Hawkins hunter DBM and the short action MDT mag we had wouldn't fit. I'll grab a DBM off the shelf and check it again.

    Anyone using MDT metal mags with Hawkins Hunter BM

    Hawkins Hunter DBM requires their proprietary mags. AICS mags won’t work. Mag dimensions and the latch placement is different.

    Selling my FX Impact M3 .30 and FX King .30 to fund a new Daystate Black Wolf .30 with the chassis and bottle. Love Daystate guns and now they make an actual high power Air rifle.

    SOLD New / Never Fired 6.5 CM Rifle - Aero Solus / Proof Research / AG Composite / APA - $1,900 Shipped

    Stock and bottom metal go together for $800 I don't have an Origin on hand to compare the inlets, but they both take standard Rem. 700 short action inlets, so at most you might need to file the ejection port opening a little to match. Super quick and easy to do. Or it may match up just fine...

    Planning first full rifle build

    Short action is fine for 6.5 PRC. I’ve built medium action 6.5’s for customers who had to have it that way and they don’t even use the extra room. The SAAMI spec 6.5 PRC or AW II spec reamer works just fine for mag feeding that round, even with heavy bullets. If you’re going to dip your toes...

    And so it begins...

    Up here in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve seen a little trend away from the little 6mm’s, myself included. We get some decent winds and weather for a lot of matches. Lots of guys shooting the 25 creed and a few went back to the 6.5 creed. The 25 creed cheats wind better than the smaller 6’s, only...

    Proof competition prefit barrels

    All the Proof SS barrels I've used are hammers. They make a great barrel now days. Out of the 200+ barrels I chambered last year, I didn't have a single bad Proof barrel. I did get a bad barrels from a couple of the other major barrel makers - chunks of rifling sheared off after a handful of...

    Suppressors 300 blackout sub/super ar suppressor

    Man, it’s tough to beat the old Dead Air Nomad L Ti for 300 blk. Some buddies and I got together a while back and messed around with about 15 different cans on 300 Blk semi’s and bolt guns. My old as shit L Ti sounded the best to our ears on both platforms with subs and supers. Off the top of...

    Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 vs SB 6-36x56 PMii

    My unscientific observation after owning a few 5-25 PMII’s and 5-25 ATACR’s and spending some time behind the new PMII 6-36…. The 5-25 PMII and ATACR are neck and neck as far as what my eyes see, with maybe a slight edge on resolution favoring the PMII. The newer 6-36 is an improvement in the...

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    Yeah, I think it’s a psychological thing that happens when I’m on the clock. Lol. In reality the returns aren’t that bad. I ran these at the Blue Mountain NRL Hunter match in Oregon a few weeks ago and had no problems. We had some light rain / mist and fog in the mornings. No problems out to...

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    I’ve used mine for nearly 50 days of hunting last fall and PRS / NRL. Absolutely excellent in all ways. Highly recommended. My only gripe is I wish the return with the AB solution was a bit faster. When you're on the clock it seems like it takes forever, in reality it’s not that bad but it...
