    schmidt and bender ultra short vs minox zp5 3-15

    That stinks. Yeah it’s hit or miss on their consistency I guess. I got lucky with my turrets. But unlucky with other optics. I have been talking myself out of a 4-20 for close to a year now but I am not gonna be able to hold out much longer.

    schmidt and bender ultra short vs minox zp5 3-15

    That’s interesting. I have a couple of ZP5’s and they both have very good turrets, I would call them exceptional. Same as the image quality. I did have to send one back though, so I hear you about not wanting to lose it for three months.

    Suppressor with a brake on it, does it help or not?

    None of the braked cans are going to provide less shot disturbance than the best brakes. It’s silly to think otherwise. But if you can get halfway there with none of the brain concussing and otherwise obnoxious side effects that are inherent to brakes, then to me it is well, well worth it. My...

    schmidt and bender ultra short vs minox zp5 3-15

    If your ZP5 has bad turrets and a smudge on the glass, why don’t you send it in for repair?

    Suppressor with a brake on it, does it help or not?

    The three I tested. They are my favorites for hunting.

    Suppressor with a brake on it, does it help or not?

    Just put a few shots through my RXD30Ti in the driveway with a 24” 6.5x47. It has a built in E-brake (or similar) on the end. It was hard to tell definitely from shooting off the tripod into a log nearby if the ports reduced the recoil much over two other cans I took outside to test against...

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    I know, I just like to tinker 😝 I will be testing my gen 1 Recoil X on my Nomad TiXC against the new RXD as soon as I can.

    Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

    Would be interesting on my new RXD30 as well.

    Mauser Action Builds

    I’ve got a rifle built around a mauser-style action, an older CZ550. I thinks it’s similar to a mauser anyway. Pretty hefty.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    That is awesome and nearly exactly what I was thinking for my next build but with 22 GT 👍

    THLR reticle?

    I have wanted a 3-15 for a long time and have never seen one in stock anywhere, but for this purpose I really prefer the 5-25 mag range. I went ahead and placed an order for the THRL 5-25 model from BH Photo but it is on back order with no estimated date of delivery.

    THLR reticle?

    Does anyone here have any time behind the THLR reticle that is available in the ZP5? My use would be for a HNT26 that is supposed to do double duty as both a lightweight precision rifle and a hunting rifle. It seems to solve the issues I have had when trying to get my FFP optics to serve me well...

    Titanium sleeve barrels

    No idea about Proof, but my Bartlein CF barrel is an absolute tack driver. Sleeved barrels are probably fine for 10/22’s though.

    Titanium sleeve barrels

    Not disputing if Ti makes a more heat conducive barrel wrap as opposed to an all steel barrel. I was questioning your premise that it was a worse conductor of barrel heat than carbon fiber, or at least that’s how I read your response to be, as the discussion was around Ti vs CF as a barrel wrap...

    Titanium sleeve barrels

    No shit Sherlock. But steel is much heavier. We are comparing the insulative properties of Ti vs Carbon Fiber. My titanium cans shed heat pretty damn quick btw.

    Precision Rifle Gear MDT ACC Elite Full Length Bridge EOI

    These mirage shields are great. Brings the whole package together without breaking the bank. Highly recommend.

    Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

    Agreed. Pretty much any sensible bullet can take deer size game and down. I just like the 308 for the times when I know I will be losing brass, like when shooting from my tree stand. I don’t have any cheap brass for my x47 or 22 GT unfortunately, and I hate combing through leaves to find Lapua...

    Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

    I can check the exact load when I get home, but I use a max charge of 748 (for speed of reloading), LC brass, and whatever LR primers I have on hand since GM210’s have been scarce. Getting around 2800ish from my factory 16” barrel at +/- one MOA. Never have had to take a follow up shot on a...

    Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

    16” 308 with 125 NBT’s is hard to beat. Or 130 Hammers. Or 168 ELDM’s. Take your pick with a 308. Having said that, I still prefer my 20” 6.5x47 for about everything.
