    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    With some constructive criticism from you lads and some time to play with the various cases and foam patterns I've accumulated out in the real world I was able to figure out some optimizations. So, allow me to introduce you to the latest iteration and see what y'all think. The last version held...

    When is a wind meter necessary for shooting?

    Haven't used one in years though I am entertained watching other people use theirs. For me it started out as a field tool but I quickly found out it was, for this use case, actually better as a learning aid a pretty crappy field-useful tool. Measured wind velocity at the firing position anywhere...

    Siding with the government? The statement quoted above is the kind of response that's usually caused by the tyranny of a discontinuous mind. To explain: To the discontinuous mind there is the side of the government and then there is everything else. There's no overlap. The two cannot inhabit...

    A little more pedestrian (pardon the pun) than many but I like them: Nearly stock 01 Mustang Cobra. Had to replace the factory exhaust from tits to toes. Staying CARB legal pushed that bill to $5k. Completely replaced the factory Mach 460 stereo system from deck to speakers as the original was...

    Was not a clean shoot no matter how much we want it to be. Shooting at a fleeing car that doesn't appear to have ever posed a direct much less immediate threat and which continues to pose no additional or even identifiable threat to anyone else is a no-no. Don't run toward stupid. It'll find its...

    Do you have five, six or even seven barrels for your SRS? Do you have an unholy compulsion to make sure everything you own can be locked in a fitted transport case? Do you have entirely too much time and/or money on your hands? Have you ever wondered what it would take to make a rifle case weigh...

    If you could only own 2 caliber Rifles?

    I had to make a decision very like this in the real world. Legally, I can only take 4 barrels for my rifle with me to ZA. Which 4 should it be? That's answered by what the people in my social circle there keep around and what is likely to be laying around on the ground in quantity after the...

    Suppressors Can finally came in but now I have to wait 5 more months.

    Yeah, at nearly double the cost, but I take your point: There is, in fact, a slightly larger and vastly more costly can available here which means my statement remains unrefuted. As an aside, if you're going to quote someone's post for purposes of attempting to refute the assertion made in said...

    Suppressors Can finally came in but now I have to wait 5 more months.

    That, my frenz, is an itty bitty damned .30cal rifle suppressor. It cost me all of $450 brand new and there was no tax stamp involved. The lack of an NFA stamp and the 5 month wait before I can try it out are both because it's in South Africa with many more of my belongings. Over there you can...

    High end rifle issue

    I'll preface this by saying that I have no trouble shooting groups very consistently under most circumstances. Living in California suppressors are a no-go but almost all of my real-world shooting is done with a suppressor attached, obviously not in Kommiefornia, and from the prone position...

    Bipods under $400

    It very much matters what you mean by "stability". Where is/are the underperforming aspect(s) for you: the gun falls over, the reticle gallivanting around the target, flexing in the bipod legs/leg-body interface/body-rifle interface causing elevation to wander, lacking friction/damping to...

    Bipods under $400

    Then, like I said, defeat that problem. The only way I can see that you'll unlock yourself from that sling stud requirement on the bipod is to use something like a Harris SRA sling stud to picatinny rail adapter, then pick up a Wiser Precision picatinny rail to arca rail adapter. Then you're...

    Bipods under $400

    The sling stud requirement is not helping. If you defeat that then your options list opens up dramatically. I have Harris, Fortmeier/Phoenix, UPR, Atlas, and Accu-Tac. All of them do the job just fine with associated positives and negatives to do with weight, finger pinchiness, adjustability...
