    The evolution of the 300 Blackout - great day at the range with Blackarc Munitions and Hornady

    Holy poop man, with hot ammo and a 12.5" bbl trijicon has the drops dialed in out to 600! Interesting piece of kit.

    The evolution of the 300 Blackout - great day at the range with Blackarc Munitions and Hornady

    Link? My Google Fu keeps returning Magtech and Maxxtech. RE: buffer, my AAC is kicking them out @ 3:00-4:00 with a H2, carbine tube, original old spring and Ranger 7 mounted.

    The evolution of the 300 Blackout - great day at the range with Blackarc Munitions and Hornady

    I get it, but I'm invested in the 300 - and I got married to the 6.5 Grendel. I don't think the 300 BLK is going to change any of that - but - it is nice to see it reach a point where it can fulfill a niche out to 150-200 yards as well as anything else +/- Phantom is new to me, that 85 gr...

    The evolution of the 300 Blackout - great day at the range with Blackarc Munitions and Hornady

    It is no secret I prefer the 6.5 Grendel to all other intermediate calibers in the AR-15 platform, but I lusted after the 300 Blackout since it was the 300 Whisper. I was a wee lad playing Rainbow Six and couldn't afford the freight JD Jones demanded, but I ran wild with a virtual Whisper. When...

    Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt - Updated 9/30 with third hunt

    It isn't light years better. Me personally, I believe that either is more than adequate for species ID *for my purposes* which is to say out to at least 300 - 400 yards I have no concern about confusing a coyote/deer/pig/calf even in mediocre conditions with any of the devices being discussed...

    Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt - Updated 9/30 with third hunt

    You'll love the guide. You may be limited to ~4x **to be able to see the LRF display** but you can get tighter than that for detail.

    Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt - Updated 9/30 with third hunt

    I find the image of the C35 to be better than the Guide, but, the LRF makes up for it by a mile. The image of the Steiner is really really really good. Image on the Guide is totally adequate to do God's work and you'l know if that coyote is 100, 200, 300 yards away...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    Ordered one of the new mounts. I had my C35 up for sale, but with the revised pricing, I'd put it on a 22 before I sold it.

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    MY experiences with Novekse customer service has been exceptional. They've gone way above and beyond in two cases where they were not at fault at all. It is one of the reasons I buy from them/recommend them with confidence.

    The EO Tech 3X is good, the Vortex Micro is pretty good

    Woox customer service sucks

    That they wouldn't follow up to explain what the tag line "or if we can help with touch up" meant 48 hours later. I'll say it again. If you're charging $100 for a grip, it is a luxury item. I measured the Aero lower against a Noveske, SOLGW and AAC. All within .001". There is no good excuse...

    Woox customer service sucks

    My experience with Woox - 1) Buy a friend their Vigilante grip as a gift 2) Doesn't fit - safety doesn't clear the wood without gouging it on an Aero lower and mil spec safety 3) Email response written by AI doesn't say "send it back and we will correct and refinish and/or replace" Generally...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    .73 MOA mean value, I’d be happy too and you’re not broken in or fine tuned. Could be a half MOA gun or close enough to claim it. I am thrilled with my non DDF barrels, similar performance , and you will mathematically definitively cool faster than mine.

    A new rifle is born… other than a QC fail

    No worries, I'm pretty at peace with all my rifles and the guidance given on this one - and I know a Honda Civic will often get you to the same place as a Porsche - just maybe not as fast or as with the same level of driver enjoyment ;) Group size will tell the tale. I'm very curious to see how...
