    ALWAYS WEAR EYEPRO or what happens when you shoot a 6.5 CM rd in your 260

    The other way around seems much more plausible.

    Gunsmithing 5R or 6 groove barrel

    Robert Gradous used to talk about how the advantage of even numbers of lands/grooves shows up on the lathe in the form of less chatter/high frequency vibration as a result of the symmetry in the lands and grooves. I'm not a gunsmith but I'd love to hear some other expert opinions on this concept.

    ALWAYS WEAR EYEPRO or what happens when you shoot a 6.5 CM rd in your 260

    OP was talking about 6.5 Creed in a 260 chamber.

    ALWAYS WEAR EYEPRO or what happens when you shoot a 6.5 CM rd in your 260

    Kind of scratching my head how this is possible. The body shoulder junction of the Creed is quite a bit fatter than a 260. I wouldn't have thought it would chamber. Time to go pull some rifles out of the safe.

    Suppressors tbac cleaning

    Zak, are there any special cleaning considerations for a 30P-1 that's been re-cored to a direct thread Ultra 9? Is the "blast shield" in the first few inches of the can sensitive to any chemicals that the Ti portions might not be? Thanks.

    I'm merely a customer of Terry's, don't know him personally, but he has repeatedly made an impression on me as pure integrity and class. He represents the best of this community. Thanks for setting this up.

    This thread is like those ads at the bottom of the webpage where it's a picture of a super hot chick with a caption like "You won't believe what she did next!" and then it turns out to be some scammy penis enlargement landing page. Clickbait.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns So this showed up today...

    11 months because I ordered from CRK direct and that's just how long it took. Worth it though. They are an absolute pleasure to deal with.

    After an 11 month wait (do you remember how awesome life was 11 months ago?!?), Fed Ex shows up with this today: Seems like a decent knife, I guess.

    Rifle Scopes Philosophy of high end optics...

    IMO you are asking the wrong question. The right question is, after properly handling an NXS and a ZCO/TT, can YOU tell the difference between those optics (glass, eye box, FOV, exit pupil, knobs, reticles, repeatability, reliability)? Hit the range, make friends with gear you are interested...

    Gunsmithing Robert Gradous

    This is terrible news. I have two masterpieces built by Robert that I will cherish even more now. Fuck 2020.

    Rifle Scopes ARC M10 Catastrophic failure?

    All I have any more are M10s and NF Ultralites. They are both bombproof. My pivot pins have never moved once torqued, even under heavy magnum recoil (eg. 300 Norma).

    Suppressors 300prc with the Ultra 9

    Sorry mate, but the tits for that cartridge would be the 338 Ultra. Just my opinion. Ultra 9 is still a sweet can. I have both.

    Do you have a headspace comparator? Did you compare the headspace dimension of a virgin round and of a fired case?

    7mm build recommendations

    I have a 7RM and a 28 Nosler. I shoot the 180 Berger @ 3000 and 3200 fps, respectively. That 200 fps will cost you about 50% less barrel life.

    Swaro vs Nightforce ...need to get grade my spotting scope

    Kowa 88 might be the best spotter available anywhere (as long as you don't need a reticle). And it is less expensive than the top Swaros to boot. It is definitely worth checking out.
