    30-06…. Anyone use this anymore ?

    Here is my 30-06 and a 5 shot group it pit down the day I brought it home from a rebarrel and loads from my previous barrel. I think it had about 10-15 rounds down the barrel at this point. Rem 700 action, 28” Bartlein barrel with PT&G Serengeti “rev D” cut chamber and my TBAC U7 on the end.. it...

    That load seems very hot!

    Ultra 7. Super impressed

    I run my ultra 7’s on all their hosts without ear pro, they are definitely quiet. Never bothers me then or afterwards. I have previous hearing loss from service. Do as I say, not as I do…. Wear your earpro.

    Any 223 pet loads for 16-18” bolt guns?

    WOA 18” 1/8 twist gets me 2750fps avg with 25.8gr of varget and 69gr smk. I could push it a little harder and keep good velocity spreads and groups but brass life goes down the pooper.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    It sucks man but unfortunately this will continue to happen until someone with some pull holds the AFT accountable and makes them get their process straight… and I don’t really see that happening soon.

    TBAC flash hider vs muzzle brake

    My personal opinion…. If you have a need to mitigate flash for shooting without the can then the flash hider would be a benefit to you, if not, I would run the brake.

    TBAC flash hider vs muzzle brake

    What is the specs of the rifle in question? I have a .30 ultra 7 that has been ran fairly hard at times on a 8” 300blk(CB brake) and also a 18” AR which is my “spr or dmr” style rifle and it has the CB flash hider on it. Those two guns are probably the hardest on the suppressor as the other...

    TBAC flash hider vs muzzle brake

    If you are concerned about the noise, the brake will be louder than the flash hider but how much will you notice when you have a trophy elk in the scope?? Only you can determine if one would be better over the other(both will be loud without ear pro or the suppressor). Now for the durability...

    Gunsmithing M12 Gas Block

    If you can’t it fit in the freezer then use a can of air duster upside down and freeze the parts you meed like that. It will ice up but just wipe it down good when you’re done.

    Safariland Liberator 2.0 opinions

    I don’t double up ear pro ever. Clarity is good, and I find no issue discerning direction of noise or voices. Our whole team runs them and they have been great for us. They have seen lots of rain, fairly cold/hot temperatures and like I mentioned earlier blasts. No issues out of them for the...

    Safariland Liberator 2.0 opinions

    I wear them for work and i have been pleased with them, running them for comms and just on the flat range for ear pro they have done all i have asked of them and more. It’s hard to swap batteries occasionally because one will get hung up in the body of the muff and you have to tap it out but not...

    What MrO serial numbers to stay away from?

    I don’t know the exact number off the too of my head but i think anything post 89k-90k are the “revised” ones. I have 2 MRO’s myself and like them as well. I regularly shoot past 100-150 yards with mine and make the hits I want to. I haven’t personally experienced the claims of terrible parallax...

    Gray @ Swift Creek Rifles has done work for me as well. The 2 guns he has worked over for me have been the easiest to do load development for and are tack drivers.

    Best home defense is no suppressor? / zero distance

    Kinda playing devils advocate here but what if the intruder is already in your house and the sound of them snatching a tv or computer or whatever off the wall is what woke you up and they are just one room over. Granted, a good alarm system, dog, strong and locked doors will help prevent this...

    Best way to mount red dot to a scoped rifle ?

    Best way to mount red dot to a scoped rifle ?

    I personally think the 35* and 45* offset mounts are nice for competition and gun games type stuff but I have grown to like the 12 o clock rds mount that sits up higher for passive aiming through nods and while keeping the rifle upright and not having to worry about cant and all that. Both...
