    Suppressors Do you clean your suppressor?

    Suppressor: Sico Omega 30 Approx. # of rounds fired: 3000 Weight before start of cleaning: 16.4oz with Direct thread mount and flat front cap (Neither could be unscrewed. End cap loosened after 2 days) My technique so far has been 1 1/2 weeks in the ultrasonic cleaner in a simple green bath. I...

    Otto NoizeBarrier Enough?

    Expensive yes. But for me an excellent investment. With significant hearing loss already I couldn't communicate when I was using adequate passive hearing protection. Now the Otto's allow me to talk to others. And I keep a pair of passive, over the ear muffs handy in case some guy sets up...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Diamondback Tactical and long range shooting

    I have the T3X in the TAC A1 chassis. Love it. The T3X is one smooth factory action and though the Tikka mags are proprietary they feed great. Straight from the factory this rifle is just amazingly accurate. Though the Tikka barrels have a reputation of being a little slow and I have seen...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Diamondback Tactical and long range shooting

    You've got the scope already so you've got nothing to lose by giving it a try. You don't even have to use it in a match, just take it to a facility where you can try it at longer ranges and at different sized targets, preferably beyond 200 yds. I've shot some PRS matches and if you can...

    Suppressors Do you clean your suppressor?

    I checked the Boretech site this morning. Nothing yet in the new products section. I hope it shows up soon as my Omega is about 2oz over original weight so I know I have a carbon build up problem.

    Southeast matches

    The next Rifle Ranch match is this Saturday, March 28. I don't see any changes announced due to the COVID-19 situation. Google Rifle Ranch and you'll find location, it's right on the Ga-Al state line. Match safety briefing starts at 8:30 local time. Alabama is central time zone. Good match...

    After over a decade of reloading it finally happened:(

    For bulk 223 I got a shallow plastic storage bin and place the cases in there but only a single layer deep. That seems to help make sure all the cases get decently lubed when I use the Frankford Arsenal spray lube. Several thousand cases resized so far. For my hunting loads and Creedmoor...

    Solution for spotting hits at 1000 yard and beyond

    My experience at 1200+ yards was that spotting the misses was more important so that I could make a correction to get on target. My main difficulty was with mirage. The berm was fairly low and the dirt kinda wet that day and after I figured out I was sailing a few shots over the berm it was a...

    Best spotting scope tripod head?

    As I previously mentioned I went with the Manfrotto XPRO 3-way pan and tilt head. I used it in our first match of the season yesterday and I had my old but still very serviceable B&L 20x spotting scope mounted on it. Pros: 1. The adjustments are smooth and fairly precise. The spotting scope...

    Suppressors Airline travel with a suppressor?

    Who has travelled with a suppressor? I'm looking at a match which is far enough away that air travel is the only option. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to transport the suppressor? I don't like the idea of having it in the rifle case knowing of instances where TSA has cut the lock off...

    Electronic ear protection ?

    The best ear pro I have owned. I shoot suppressed and I can hear my own impacts on steel. They also cut off the noise when some guy set up beside me with his muzzle brake, though when that happens I usually turn them off.

    Best spotting scope tripod head?

    With some of the comments from this thread I've decided to go with the Manfrotto Xpro 3 way pan and tilt head for spotting use with my new tripod. First match coming up in February so we shall see how it works.

    What's up with shipping charges on RRS website

    As a follow up, I ordered a TVC-33 and TA-3-QC last night and the order process was much smoother. Once I had the items in my cart and went to checkout, I did not immediately see the ridiculous shipping charges. Instead I saw options for UPS 2 day, UPS Ground and the rates were in the price...

    What's up with shipping charges on RRS website

    Thanks for the explanation. No, it was fairly late last night when I planned to order so I didn't try to contact RRS. And I didn't go any further in the checkout process because as I said, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the ridiculous shipping charges. I'll try again this afternoon...

    What's up with shipping charges on RRS website

    Ok, so I think I have talked myself into a TVC-33. Added one to my cart along with a TA-3-QC. I seriously planned to check out and was stopped dead in my tracks by a shipping charge of $103. What the f? Their products are expensive and I was prepared to pay the toll, but I am not going to be...

    Tikka T3X TAC A1

    I think EGW may be your best bet. The MountainTactical said mods would be needed when I previously looked at them. https://www.egwguns.com/hd-tikka-t3x-tac-a1-picatinny-rail-scope-mount-20-moa-ambidextrous
