    Lightweight full function AR for night hunting

    Change to thermal for sure. You can lose almost all the accessories. Maybe tape a candy stick battery somewhere. So you could be around 7 lbs easy.

    Any structural engineers around?

    There were probably 5 of these minimum on an 18'-20' wide bridge. Possibly flat timber deck, but more than likely corrugated steel. They were on some type of foundation(you dont have), and had something keeping them together(you dont have), acting as a unit instead of singular beam, and to...

    Any structural engineers around?

    I'm just a bridge builder that has done 60+ all steel bridges. This is not gonna turn out well. You at a minimum need to put these on a footing, size depends on the soil type. Then at a minimum, 2 of similar size beams under each tire tack. Id recommend W12x42. Tie all these beams together...

    22-250 for coyotes

    The only one Im aware of that is twisted fast enough for a 75 (unless its a short fat cup and core) is a Ruger American. Idk if they offer it anymore, and its a Ruger American. If you pick up a Tikka donor or Mac Bros you could easily build inside that price though.

    22-250 for coyotes

    They usually dont blow through the back side much either. I prefer 52s going 3750 in my 250for yotes.

    22-250 for coyotes

    Really need more info. Do you want to shoot heavys, are you saving fur, are you going to upgrade the gun at some point, mags? Adl? Bdl?, do you want a traditional stock? Etc.

    What caliber should my new night gun be?

    For a bolt gun at night, if your into loading 20-223. If your not 204R or 22-250. I like that the traditional 20 cal bullets fall off the face of the earth after 5-600 yards but hit hard inside 400. I also dont night hunt wide open places with line of sight for a mile very often.

    Night Vision China Skeet vs China Breach

    Yes. My dad has a 19, I have a 25. The 19 doesnt have many hours on it yet. I didnt put a PVS eyepiece on the 19, but it could use it. You can get it adjusted to where it is giving the full FOV, but it makes you want more eye relief. @TheHorta would probably know the does it fit answer. I...

    Night Vision China Skeet vs China Breach

    The ML19 is a good little unit. The picture quality is much better than my 384 Hogster when left at 1x. It degrades quickly when zoomed though. I would say at native mag, the 19 is 75%+ of the image quality of the 25. Personally there is not a need to zoom a helmet mounted thermal though...

    Recommend me a target stand for punching paper

    Jesus, order something large from amazon or ebay, lean the box on a T post and be happy. Or go get a project backer board, the plastic carboard stuff. They fits great in between electric fence insulators on electic fence posts. Total investment $30 and every piece is replaceable for $5 or less.

    Sightron S-TAC FFP 3-16X42 Optic

    For the money they are pretty good scopes. I have one on a 22. The reticle is a bit thin on low power, but still usable, IMO. The only thing I can really knock it on for the money is FOV. The FOV is quite narrow. For a varmint or plinking rifle not a big deal though.
