    Clamp on Vs Set screw Gas block?

    Bomb proof and pinned go hand-in-hand. The Triarc EZ pin low profile pinned gas block is the best I've used. The block itself is pre-drilled and it removes very little metal from the barrel as the pin sits lower than most other GB's. Installation is simple and fast if you have access the a...

    GLX 2.5-10 vs Credo 2-10 vs PST Gen II vs PLXc 1-8 vs Razor Gen III 1-10 ?

    For me, the Vortex Razor 1-6x is the best all around LPVO for an AR, and the Razor 1-10x is the best I've used for an SPR type AR. I have a Vortex Gen 2 Viper 1-6x on a back-up gun, it seems great for the money, but I haven't used it much.

    Pistol brace SBR free registration?

    Just show them your post on page 1 praising them, lick their boots some more, let them shoot your dog, and maybe they'll go easy on you.

    Rifle Recommendation New To Long Distance Shooting

    Another thing to consider is factory ammo vs. handloading. For 6.5CM factory ammo, the Berger 140 grain Hybrids are an outstanding choice. They are well over 2,800 FPS with not only a great bullet, but also very low SD and ES. They come loaded with Lapua brass which is a huge bonus. The...

    Rifle Recommendation New To Long Distance Shooting

    Based on what you This is what I did and I'm very happy. I live close enough to EuroOptics that I was able to check out a bunch of rifles and optics in person. If you call them they will likely cut you a good deal on a complete package.

    AIAX vs AT-X can’t decide

    I went through a similar decision making process, was torn between two different AI rifles. I am happier that I waited a bit longer and spent a bit more to get the setup I wanted the most.

    You have $5,000 to spend on a rifle and optic - what would you get and why?

    I've never shot one,but when I was at Euro optic recently,. I was really impressed with Seekins HIT Pro rifle. I'd probably pair that with a nightforce NX8 or vortex razor Gen 3. that would keep you just under $5k. The Tikka T3 Tac A1 is also really nice, but no quick change barrel...

    Accuracy International AT vs. AT-X, help me decide **Update: bought an AT-X, first range trip added**

    I am in love with this rifle. I didn't have much time to shoot before it got dark, but after getting it zero'd, I shot 3 groups at 100 yards using Hornady 140 ELD-M: .494" .336" .317" I'm going try to find time to shoot at 300 yards tomorrow, and much further in the coming weeks. This was an...

    Black River Tactical 16” Cold Hammer Forged Optimum Barrel Accuracy Evaluation

    It might not be my place to say, but you should consider starting a youtube channel or something similar. I've read your reviews for many years and find a ton of value in them, I'm sure a ton of other people do as well. 9 Hole Reviews actually referenced you on a recent SOCOM vs. gov't barrel...

    Accuracy International AT vs. AT-X, help me decide **Update: bought an AT-X, first range trip added**

    Update: I saved a little longer, upgraded to the AT-X, and decided to keep my Sako TRG. I ordered a Vortex G3 Razor 6-36x, and I'm currently looking a Sphur mounts (I have one on my TRG). I just starting hearing about American Rifle Company M-Brace mounts, they are quite a bit cheaper and seem...

    Quick turn around time for a barrel removal?

    Hart Rifle Barrels in Lafayette NY can likely do it, I almost had them re-barrel my TRG-22 because it was within driving distance of my PA home and I travel through NY several times a year.

    Accuracy International AT vs. AT-X, help me decide **Update: bought an AT-X, first range trip added**

    I wish I would have done that when I was there. I played with the AI AT for at least 30 minutes, including simulating prone by laying my torso over the countertop with the rifle. The trigger seemed great, a hair heavier than my TRG, but nice and crisp. I read that it's adjustable, I'm not...

    Accuracy International AT vs. AT-X, help me decide **Update: bought an AT-X, first range trip added**

    Yeah, this gives me pause about selling the TRG. I have always later regretted selling firearms that I liked, and I love the TRG. I have 60 days before I need to pick up the AI. I might just save like a madman and keep my TRG. The problem that creates is needing to buy another optic setup, so...

    Accuracy International AT vs. AT-X, help me decide **Update: bought an AT-X, first range trip added**

    I should have added, I don't plan to complete, but that would be cool in the future. Realistically, I likely won't be able to make the time for meets with other things in life (single dad to little girl, work 50 hours a week, gym addict, live in the middle of nowhere so everything is a drive...

    Accuracy International AT vs. AT-X, help me decide **Update: bought an AT-X, first range trip added**

    I haven't posted here in a long time. In 2011, I bought a Sako TRG-22 in .308. I've been thoroughly impressed with its accuracy and quality, but I'm looking to upgrade for quick change barrels, caliber swaps, and 6.5mm ballistics. I'm just getting back into shooting after going through a...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint for SGL-31

    I have a T1 and an ML3, both have 2 MOA dots. I prefer the T1 as it's a lot smaller and lighter.

    Talk me into a TRG22

    Is Beretta importing the Tikka T3 CRT to the US? A Ruger GSR is on my short list, but as a TRG22 owner, I'd much rather the Tikka. This is the first I've heard of the CTR version.

    TRG22 trigger creep

    I know that they changed the trigger on TRG's in 2013. My 2011 TRG has the best trigger I've ever felt on any rifle at any price-point. I think that you can adjust the sear engagement on the post 2013's. I'd send an email to Beretta USA and someone there could help you.

    Jon Beanland barreled TRG-22 in 6BR

    Any chance you could post a pic or two of your rifle? I'm thinking about re-barreling my TRG and I'd like to see what the Palma contour looks like.
