    How long is too long for a bolt gun barrel and suppressor?

    On a serious note, it seems like a bullet design is a way bigger factor because its only going to do so much in the first few inches regardless of how much energy it's carrying. What bullets are you shooting?

    6.5 CM Ammo

    Norma golden target 130s are it for me for practice ammo. They shoot tight, SD/ES isn't great but for $1.1 ea they do good. Factory tikka ctr tube at 100 yds.

    How long is too long for a bolt gun barrel and suppressor?

    Makes it tough to keep it above the required 1200 ft/lb of energy required to RTD a groundhog then which is a bummer.

    25x47 Lapua load data

    Seems like a lot of these loads folks aren’t pushing things too hard? I’m over shooting with brakes and have always been a big fan of the 6.5x47 but would like a hair less recoil if similar ballistics are achievable. Fair to think a guy could still be around 2700 fps with a 131-135 in a 24” tube...

    which 6 to choose?

    My main hunting rifle is an 18" 6 creed because i wanted the velocity to make up for shorter barrel with 105-112 class pills, factory ammo, and mag feeding without hiccups. I'd have a hard time not going BR, BRA, dasher, or GT depending on platform and mag setup if I was capping it at 350 yards...

    T1x ACE in Hand - Review - Pictures - Info - Thoughts

    It doesn't seem like they know the NRL/PRS markets that well to me. If you're going to make the "game" model to be a hunting/comp crossover (NRL) make the damn thing at a weight that facilitates using it in the factory division. If they made it in 6 creedmoor at a weight that would support use...

    For those interested in field swapping barrels...The Ross Vise

    Never had wrench flats. I'd think it would be more unwieldly to torque/break free in the field while in a stock/chassis the further away from the action one gets? I couldn't get a suppressor off even when the DT hub adapter had wrench flats without putting my barrel in a vise recently so I'm...

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    Any update on timeline for more 30 cal ones? I'm looking for a SiCo one personally.

    Upgrading from Tikka CTR - 3 options want opinions

    Are you on rokslide? There’s a barrel vise/action wrench tool sharing thread primarily based around tikkas where you just pay the price of shipping. Easy peasy. My NRL gun has a 24” CTR takeoff barrel I paid $170 for. Shoots great. Doesn’t have $400 worth of makeup (fluting, paint) because it’s...

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    Anyone know if gunwerks cams use similar threads to any of existing offerings? Got a cert at a match today but I’m not sure I really want any of their cans if I can’t stick a recoilx on it.

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    I’d think it’d be pretty close. Only shot my recoilx on nomad xc on a 24” 6.5 creed with ears on and I’d agree probably a litttle louder than I’d expect my g1 U7 to be but wasn’t as loud as I expected. Would be a long bitch on a L though. I won’t use it on my moderate hunting guns but might if I...

    Devildog Hog 6.5 Creedmoor feed problem. Ideas?

    Well, these google machines should show you the anatomy of a chamber and what it should look like through a borescope if you look a bit. For starters, if there is something in the chamber making big ass gouges in the brass shoulders, it should be evident. For looking at why your bullets are...

    Devildog Hog 6.5 Creedmoor feed problem. Ideas?

    What a mess. Your bullets shouldn't look like that and your cases shouldn't either. I'd want to borescope it but assuming you dont have one of those?

    KAHLES K624i - EYEBOX COMPARED TO PRESENT SCOPES

    Man, I like my 624 from 2015 or ‘16. If anyone has a mint gen 3 that they’d take less than $1500 for because of all the new stuff, I’ll pay that for another!

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    I’m aware of the different mil dimensions used. This scope was supposedly after the change and it was off in the opposite direction. Honestly that was the least of my concerns, click error was consistent across adjustment tested so could have been handled within DOPE and/or ballistic calculator.

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    I know you get off on all the finer points of rifle scopes, i just want ones that do the basics well. When it came to the basics, the 3-24x52 I had sucked. Sure, the form factor was nice, image quality was pretty solid (below 20 as you say), turrets were great. But when you can dick around for...

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    They sure make em sound nice on the internet but they did with the 3-24x52s back when as well. And that was a $3k POS. Fool me once..

    Rifle Scopes Hunting Scope suggestions

    Maven rs1.2. Mag range, function, a reticle that’s actual decent at low power, reasonable price. I’d happily trade my LRTS and LRHS2 for another but haven’t quite justified the upcharge. It’s like an improved version with better reticle and mag range for hunting.
