    Night Vision Help with Thermal choice

    I was going to suggest exactly what wigwamitus just suggested. I have an Six8 with a MKII 35mm and it is just about perfect for the type of shooting your wanting to do. I've see them sell from individuals for under $6k somewhat often. Watch the optics for sale forum here and the NV for sale...

    Hunting & Fishing 16” 308 vs 20” 6.5 creedmoor

    I have a 130 TTSX load for my 16" 308 REPR that I really like. I've shot a dozen or so hogs and deer with it and it hammers. But I think it's a sub 500 yard load. The energy drops off pretty quick past 400.

    New from North Texas

    Welcome from NRH TX. Thanks for your service and I'm glad you're up and running once again. I drive through the Cresson area monthly, but have never made it out to the range there. Need to do that at some point.

    Night Vision IR illimunitor/laser for PVS 30

    I have both. The SPIR is an LED illumination output and to my eyes a more "pure" light. It's a cleaner look that makes it easier to see individual objects. The ELIR-3 is laser based and appears more grainy. They both have plenty of throw. The SPIR is much bigger and heavier, but also seems to...

    Diopter adjustment on Hendsoldt 45?

    I don't have a 45, but if it works like the 60 then.... the part of the eye piece where my finger is pointing is turnable for reticle focus. It can be a bit stiff and you kinda have to force your fingers in there to turn it. That section will rotate independent of the power ring and the rubber...

    Best ruck to carry 50lbs in 5-10,000 elevation

    Kifaru. Awesome packs. If you buy new, you'll send in some needed personal measurements and it's made to fit you. Add in a gun bearer and you're good to go. Made in the USA by some great people!

    Ruger Alaskan holster

    In this video around the 50 second mark it shows the Kenai with a bino rig. I wonder if a setup like that would work for you.

    Ruger Alaskan holster

    I owned a https://www.simplyrugged.com/ that was very well made. Or you could look at https://gunfightersinc.com/kenai-chest-holster/ never owned, but have heard good things about them. I never could get comfortable with my Alaskan unless I shot it often, which I was unable to do so I sold...

    Night Vision PVS-22 v PVS-30 pluses and minuses

    300 - 600 is a sweat spot for the PVS-22. If you want to go beyond 10x magnification, then the PVS-30 would be a better choice. Your range makes the 22 a very viable option. I own a PVS-22 and it makes the weapon heavy enough. I'd still love to own a 30 someday, but started to add thermal to my...

    LabRadar with suppressor?

    This is not my pic, but when I bought mine I set it up in similar fashion and it has always worked: ( I actually move the LabRadar a bit more to the right.)

    Gunsmithing ARCA-SWISS RSS Mount on hunting rifle?

    Anyone have a link to the right drill bit to use for installing the t nuts? I found this thread which describes the installation process pretty well, though the pics have been removed, but can't figure out the right bit to use...

    OTTO NoizeBarrier earpro same as new Etymotic Elites....

    Got my set a couple of weeks ago. Very impressed. You almost forget you're wearing them. Very natural sounding. Besides using them at the range where they have been more than adequate, I've also started wearing them while mowing and trimming the yard. When I edge I usually have the motor right...

    Hunting & Fishing Hauling Heavy Rifles

    I guess it would depend on the pack/belt you're using. I've used the gun bearer with several rifles 10 - 18 lbs. on a Kifaru pack and it worked great. Hiking as much as 20 miles in a day and it gave me zero problems. It's a good piece of kit IMO.

    Desert Tech TRASOL Official Thread

    I've fallen behind the times with modern gear. Is this a better (more accurate) app than Ballistic AE? Thanks.

    LWRC REPR SIDE CHARGING HANDLE MOD FOR FOLDER

    I'd be in for one. And have a couple of friends that I think still own REPRs, so will ask.

    Old School. They work so well I just can't prioritize upgrading to new.

    LWRC REPR SIDE CHARGING HANDLE MOD FOR FOLDER

    Wow, if you do please update this thread. Yeah, the early days of that forum were interesting.

    Labradar Blue Tooth app is out

    iOS version seems good to go. Only problem I found is with my old eyes I need to turn my text size down in the phone settings to see the app correctly. First world problems. This is going to be very useful, especially when shooting suppressed. I hated trying to reach the unit to change things.

    LWRC REPR SIDE CHARGING HANDLE MOD FOR FOLDER

    I remember that being discussed, but can't remember why they decided not to produce it. What happened to the LWRC forum?
