    Rifle Scopes Is Glass quality Bullsh*t? Or is it me?

    I still think you are missing the point of what Frank has to say about the coatings as he is 100% correct. It's going to be the less than ideal conditions where the differences in some of the glass really begin to become most apparent. Take a viper PST, your cheap UTG, and your S&B out when the...

    Switch barrel rifles for precision rifle competitions? DTA vs AI AT vs ?

    I it may be a Bartlein #5, though it's finished right in the middle of the specs between the #5 and 6. Diameter at about 23" is approximately 0.85 where the shoulder meets my the TBAC BA.

    Rifle Scopes Is Glass quality Bullsh*t? Or is it me?

    Go shoot them out in the field at distance side by side while adjusted properly to your eyes and you'll answer your own question. Once you start working with premium glass, even with young eyes, you won't go back to lower grade glass in anything you buy. There's a very noticeable difference, if...

    Switch barrel rifles for precision rifle competitions? DTA vs AI AT vs ?

    SRS, if you thought the DTA was heavy, just wait to pick up an AI...they are a bit beastly.

    Switch barrel rifles for precision rifle competitions? DTA vs AI AT vs ?

    Very good analysis of some of the pros vs cons of both systems, only thing that stood out to me was this: Not sure why, but I've heard this several times now and I'm not sure if it's because people are used to other mag styles or what, but you can single feed these rifles just fine without...

    308 winchester vs lapua brass

    Yeah, I've even done load development with brand new factory brass. But I also don't spend hours doing case prep like some of the people here either. As long as the necks look fine I've got no issues using them in factory condition with the exception of a quick chamfer of the necks to make...

    Switch barrel rifles for precision rifle competitions? DTA vs AI AT vs ?

    After time behind both, my vote goes to the AI and here's why: -AT is running double stacked 10 round AW style mags. They work very well and are very compact. One of my favorite things about switching to the AT was ditching my AICS mags. You can top the mag up with it still inserted due to...

    Tell me what i would gain by moving to CA.

    Depends on where in CA you want to move to, there are some really nice places in CA but there's a price to be had with them. Higher taxes, more govt. restrictions, higher cost of living, and a state that is sinking financially like the Titanic make it an unattractive place to move unless you're...

    Hearing Protection

    Can't beat triad's price from an authorized dealer. They are the best place to go to ensure you're getting new stock and not something old or imported that msa won't stand behind. Plus you'd be supporting a hide dealer.

    Not a whole lot out here unfortunately except for their events. Once it cools off it would be nice to get a group of us together and we can throw a bunch of steel targets out at various distances out in the desert.

    Scope mounting tolerances

    Personally I wouldn't worry about that little of a difference. As long as you are reasonably close to level the errors from wind calls, etc are going to have a higher degree of magnification at those distances. If were were talking degrees, I'd say definitely take a closer look at getting it...

    Suppressors supressor selection time, finally!!

    For the money it would be hard to pass up the TBAC 30BA or CB9 depending on what you can find in stock with your local dealer. For a precision rifle I prefer the direct thread on or the brake attach style mounts that TBAC offers as they lock up 100% solid. I like my QD cans, but I prefer to use...

    Remington 700 AAC-SD barrel break in question

    I'll be most curious how the FGMM does in your rifle, that always seems to do well, the only other ammo that you've shot that is decent is the Hornady match and that stuff can be hit or miss on rifles from what I've tried. With the Remington or PMC I've seen it look like shotgun blasts out of a...

    Can't decide 10.5 vs 11.5 SBR upper

    I just run a YHM flash hider on mine as I run my titanium phantom on the SBR.

    Am I wasting my time?

    Exactly, I rarely need to go the full press of the handle. You can feel as the swaging rod removes the crimp so it's pretty simple as to when you should stop. I get maybe 1-2 cases every couple hundred I load that require me to remove them from the priming station and quickly run back through...
