    Rifle Scopes New EOTech 3-9x32 SFP Opinion Thread

    16oz including the mount would make it a great lightweight option for anything under 600 yards would be my guess. Use the red dot for anything sub 100 yards then switch to the magnified for anything beyond that, dial mag for distance needs. just as a comparison, the VCOG 1-8x with mount is...

    2025 Eotech VUDU Super Short 3-9x32 SFP

    Since there aren't any illuminated reticle scout type optics on the market any more (for mounting on a lever gun) I think this is will be a pretty cool setup. Sounds like it's going to have decent glass, good illumination, light weight, red dot that you can mount at 45 or 12:00 and...

    Subsonic lever gun caliber

    How do you like your Big Horn? Now that I'm playing with the big bore stuff (Marlin Dark with Dead Air Primal), I keep looking at a BHA White Lightning with some black furniture. That with some subsonic loads and a big can sounds like fun. what can are you running? I looked a while ago but...

    Subsonic lever gun caliber

    So for the OP if you really want expanding subsonic 45-70 bullets (or other calibers for that matter), Maker bullets is the place to go if you reload. https://makerbullets.com/proddetail.php?prod=45-70-500S Their stuff is all specifically designed to expand at subsonic velocities. 45-70, 300...

    Subsonic lever gun caliber

    I keep thinking a Big Horn Armory 89 White Lightning would be a cool gun to have a can on, but not sure who makes one that would work. My Primal will go up to .46.

    Subsonic lever gun caliber

    do you reload? if not then for the 45-70 your main options for subsonic are Hornady Sub-X ammo, or specialty stuff from Buffalo and other companies (usually using machined brass bullets like Maker bullets). Not sure what subsonic 444 ammo is out there, haven't ever looked. If you reload there...

    Suppressors US cleaner with simple green

    also there are different Simple Green versions- I know Home Depot sells a purple version (Simple Green Pro/HD), but make sure you don't buy the Purple Power stuff that is bad for aluminum. The SG Pro/HD version says that it is safe for aluminum and anodizing. I bought it to clean some of the...

    New Work Sharp Ken Onion Mk2 Knife and tool sharpener?

    I just bought locally a lightly used KO sharpener and learning to use it. 3d printed a shelf system to get the blades at the right angle, that should help a lot but if anyone has a good video to show their process or steps or that helped them learn to use the thing, post it up..

    Did I hear correctly that yeti is killing mystery Ranch?

    lol. I guess Dana cashed out again. I worked in the outdoor industry back in the day and had quite a few Dana Designs packs (still have a couple but can't say that I'd actually use them again, they are crazy heavy compared to todays packs (terraplane, Astralplane, Bomb, etc.). Met him a few...

    Criterion barrels - Accuracy

    If you want to see what the ammo/barrel combination is capable, most companies consider Federal Gold Medal Match to the industry standard when looking at group sizes. For 223, usually 77gr SMK, 175gr 308, etc. You don't have to go buy a case but 2 boxes should give you a solid representation of...

    Bergara b-14r pic thread

    Anyone got a photo or close up of the area 419 weighted rail mounted on the OE HMR stock? Wanted to get ideas of where to drill before I tear into it.

    Shooting the 6mm ARC through a 5.56 can?

    or just buy a can that is advertised as a 6mm can. I know there's a lot of DA hate but the new Lazarus 6 is rated to 6mm. Would be good for an ARC or MAX round if you wanted to go in that direction. Seems a few others are offering a 6mm can that would work fine in 5.56 and 6mm.

    B14R setup

    do you mind getting me a shot of your ARCA rail mounted and how you mounted it? finally got the weighted Area 419 rail and as mentioned the front screws don't line up. Saw your description of drilling and using T-nuts and a 1 3/8" action screw but just thought I'd see where you did the drilling...

    MDT LRA MV3 Electronic Level

    still waiting on mine but sometimes companies will put a date code on the packaging/catalogs so that they know what version of the packaging they are using or printing. given that these are usually backordered (current wait times on their website is 8-10 weeks I think) I doubt if you got one...

    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    not that I want to go that heavy but I just ordered a Marlin Dark 45-70 and plan to shoot subs in it mostly. Got info on the molds you are using and rough idea of loads? I was thinking I would like a mold around 400-405gr mainly because I can use the Maker bullets for hunting if I go in that...

    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    Great info here. I've been shooting suppressed for a little while (22, 30 and 45 cans) but usually at ranges where there are others around and hard to really get a better feel for what's "quiet" vs "quieter". :) For sure the 22lr is giggle quiet and that's what I play with a lot when i'm outside...

    1953 Win. model 94 32 special value?

    I have a similar rifle (1923 production date) that I may be selling in the near future. A lot of the value of the rifle is dependent upon the condition of the wood, chamber, bore, etc. But yes, $700 would be very low unless it's in rough condition. I would guess between $1000 and $2500 (big...

    New Labradar LX

    I have to laugh a little about Garmin and the consensus on SH about them. I guess I've been using Garmin GPS units for close to 25-30 years now. I used one daily for many years (traveling) and had a lot of issues with the units but they were really the only game in town. Slow processors...

    Best AR manufactures

    Always interesting to read threads about brands. I have friends that often ask me what AR15 to purchase (folks that are new to the AR platform and know nothing about them but want to learn). In the past I always recommended buying a full assembled rifle from a reputable manufacturer that...
