    Night Vision Thermal Scope Recommendations

    No doubt. My point was that if someone is budget strapped and buys a $3k scope vs a $6k scope - let’s pretend for a second that the $3k scope is limited to 300y, which most aren’t - you can still shoot just about anything you like. In re-reading I’m not sure why I went that direction with my...

    Night Vision Thermal Scope Recommendations

    I have a NOX35. I have killed coyotes, hogs, armadillos - you name it from Florida to the Dakotas. It’s amazing. I shoot 75gr GDHPs through a 12.5” Noveske barrel out to >200y. It has a great mil reticle and if I had it on a larger caliber rifle I would have zero issues shooting hogs or coyotes...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I remember playing CounterStrike in ~ 2001 when it was just a free mod for HalfLife and even they knew Sage Green was the correct answer. Sage Green rifles are the most powerful race in the world.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    @RS14 showed me the light at GTI a few weeks ago and I got my first AI - 2021 AT in God’s color. Just waiting on a sawtooth arca rail for it.

    Grease the bolt

    Yeah that’s pretty neat. I wish it didn’t have a smell though. I’m with him and don’t like using stuff that can spook game animals.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    What makes the AI so great? Another way of phrasing my question is what do you tell people why you chose an AI over a less expensive custom build? The worst part about owning an AI is the constant “my gun shoots just as well and was 50% the price” comments.

    CHPWS RMR plates are JUNK and their customer service is just as bad

    Thanks for sharing guys - very good info. One bad story is usually a difficult customer. There’s definitely a pattern though. I don’t do IG or anything like that but I’d be curious what anyone who vouches for them would have to say.

    CHPWS RMR plates are JUNK and their customer service is just as bad

    I saw your post on M4C. What a train wreck. Gun guys like that are our own worst enemy.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    What is a reliable load for 6.5CM using R16 and 140gr ELDMs? I switched powders from 4350 and need a decent load to break a new rifle in. Just want something that will do ok like the tried and true 42.5gr H4350 loads are. I’m using Lapua brass.

    PVA Comp-40 Tripod

    I agree. I follow that rule 99.9% of the time. In fact, it’s why I’ve got an open thread in the semi auto forum because I’m not giving someone $4000 for 4 months. The PVA tripod fell into that 0.01% category because of the relative inexpensive quality tripod it was. I ended up just buying a RRS...

    Looking for a reliable and accurate 6.5 Creedmoor Gas Gun

    Thanks for all the replies and PMs. I just cannot believe the wait times for some of these $4000+ rifles. I called Noveske and Larue and asked if I could pay to skip ahead to the front of the line and they both thought I was joking. When pressed, they said they don’t do that. Noveske wanted 16...

    PVA Comp-40 Tripod

    My $250 would be earning 0.1% in my bank. which is a quarter after a year. I guess I could’ve put it in the market a year ago and as of yesterday it would actually be worth less than $250. The interest part actually doesn’t worry me; I’m beginning to think I will get neither a tripod nor my...

    PVA Comp-40 Tripod

    Been waiting on a PVA tripod for almost a year. I don’t even want it anymore. I bought a RRS and had it in 4 days. Just seeing what happens. It’s only $250.

    Switching 6.5 CM loads from 26" w/ H4350 to 20" and RL16

    Plenty of guys in South Florida willing to pay $50/lb for 4350 or Varget.

    Switching 6.5 CM loads from 26" w/ H4350 to 20" and RL16

    I'm out of 4350. Saw a guy locally asking $400 for an 8lb jug...and got it o_O I admire the dedication of the buyer to stick with what he knows, but I jumped ship to RL16. I also got a new rifle which has a 20" Krieger barrel. So now I need to do new rifle load development with a new powder. It...

    Beautiful. Unfortunately I waited too long and missed out on that 6.5!
