    Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

    Got behind one of these at a match last weekend. Was very impressed and I'd love to have one. Cant justify $4k for one though as i'm not that into the race gun games. Eye box was impressive.

    6.5x47 Lapua

    I'd be surprised if Alpha went tight on the neck dimension, more likely theyd be larger than some existing x47 reamers IMO. My lapua loaded stuff is 0.290" and I think my current chamber is 0.295". I think there are some 0.2944 neck reamers too. I wouldn't want to go any tighter than that and I...

    Suppressor Problem, Dead Air - Advice requested

    Yes, i was told this wasn't a thing by some folks on another forum. On a winter day with wind in the face i tried shooting with a brake for a while without issue before letting it cool and putting a can on. Heavier bolt lift showed up before I was through the first 10 rd mag after putting the...

    Rifle Scopes $2500 MSRP Limit (PRS Production Class)

    My NRL rifle stole the Kahles off my PRS rifle so I picked up a mint XRS3 G4p for $1k from the classifieds to backfill it. Certainly isn't top tier but I'm in no hurry to replace it. More than serviceable for a mediocre race gun shooter.

    Anyone try ts15.5 in their x47?

    6.5x47 Lapua

    Your old posts in this thread was a large part of me “trying” varget with the 135s. I put trying in quotes because all I did was load 10 at each of the 2 charge weights and leave the seating die where it was for the h4350 load.

    6.5x47 Lapua

    Shot the first ever x47 loads that printed mediocre groups for me recently. 135 ATIP over 36.5 and 37.0 grains of varget. Lapua 4x cases. Was 2820-2850 fps in my 28" tube. Maybe a bit warm? 39.8 gr h4350 (only charge i tried) behind the same bullet shoots typical x47 wads at 2770 FPS. I dont...

    6.5x47 Lapua

    Can always add freebore.. Good question though. Just a WAG based on my typical 140hybrid loads jumping around 50 thou in typical 0.16X freebore chambers, i'd guess you'll have bearing end of bullet bearing surface pretty close to neck shoulder junction while touching lands with a 153 lrht.

    Suppressor Problem, Dead Air - Advice requested

    I've had similar bolt lift problems on rifles with the XC but the same problems happen with other cans too, sico Scythe ti for one. Seemed especially prevalent in MN winter months shooting into a headwind. Happened with a variety of different loads including moderate factory ammo.

    Federal does it again 😅

    Saw where Tyler Freel of Outdoor life mentioned something like 7 of 8 test rifles they've received have stiff bolt lift and poor primary extraction. Haven't seen anything promising about reloadability. Seems like a dud thus far.

    Best caliber for big game at 400 plus yards

    The thing is nothing someone is going to carry around the mountains will reliably "anchor" elk unless you hit CNS. I've only seen elk killed with 7mms, 30s, and 338s. But none of them did anything special. Put it in the lungs, they go a little ways and fall over. Pretty similar to broadheads...

    Questions for those with SilencerCo, Dead Air, and Banish suppressors

    Have a scythe ti, nomad XC, and gen 1 ultra 7. I think the XC is the Best Buy right now. No issues with my scythe yet and they seem to be doing something to make them a little tougher. It’s got over 1000 rds of mostly 18” 6 creed. Put it in a prs gun with a recoilx now so it’ll go through some...

    Does that breakthrough stuff come with a BJ? premium price there. Kind of tempted to get it just for the brushes and tubes and use CLR for the carbon removal after the fluid is gone. Hate to clean 4 cans at those prices.

    Suppressor Problem, Dead Air - Advice requested

    Yes, I’ve never cleaned any of my cans and that needs to happen.. was just going to plug and fill with CLR, flush, repeat (at least the ti cans) but I’m open to recommendations for cleaning products if they are notably better.

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    Bummer to hear about the higher price for the new model but I might grab one still even though I’ve already got a couple gen 1s.

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    That’d be different, with a brake in front of it already.

    Suppressor Problem, Dead Air - Advice requested

    Did the can get to a certain level of carbon fouling to where it’s dropping carbon into the action when barrel up by chance? Had a match today that I’m pretty sure I had 3 fail to feeds because there were big carbon chunks that fell down on the bolt face from the muzzle end to where I couldn’t...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    I didn’t say it sucks, I just think there’s a reason that 44ish objective scopes usually top out around 18x. Maybe they can overcome..
