    Tripod recommendation

    Here is the light weight SLIK 150 tripod with the bipod brace set up for dry firing in the back yard. I pick out birds in some trees 475 yards distant and practice position, hold and trigger squeeze on them. I have to set up high as to look over the fence! The gun is a Rem 700 ACC-sd in a MDT...

    Tripod recommendation

    I was trying to stay within his cost requirements, but you are right, if your are willing to spend more you can get top of the line with a light weight. If I did this for a living anymore, that is the way to go. As for the leveling head, I have a buddy who has one to loan me and I will get to...

    Tripod recommendation

    No, it will be the same. I prefer the fluid head for my application as it provides me more range of movement. Personal preference more than anything. I am not a fan of the ball head and may someday shift to a leveling base with the lighter tripod. Anchor Zero Six is completely right in his...

    Tripod recommendation

    With the lightweight tripod, I will carry a super lightweight bipod to place under the stock to help stabilize my long range shots as it isn't quite as stable as the tripod in the pictures.....but it is 5 to 6 lbs lighter and much easier to hump. Here is a shot of my buddy shooting my MK12...

    Tripod recommendation

    I run a Rem 700 ACC-SD in 308 in a MDT LSS Chassis or a AR15 in the MK12 type configuration on it and it supports them nicely. Granted it is at the edge of the ball head's limitation, but for lightweight you are going to have to "extend" it beyond its rating. If you want stable (but heavy...

    SLIK 150 works well ...light weight stable enough for 10-12lb gun. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You want something more stable, then get a fluid head with a mid size calumet or a manfrotto. Triclawps saddle is cheaper and works well. http://www.triclawps.com/shop/...

    Suppressors Transporting suppressor to different states?

    All good information and likely correct......right up until you hear the snap and ratchet behind your back and your silencer is confiscated for being prohibited........ Like said above, get it in writing, otherwise it is just self justification to make a mistake.

    Suppressors Transporting suppressor to different states?

    Technically yes, But you have seen what some States do and how they ignore federal law. Quite frankly, I recommend against it because, let's say you have an accident are taken to the hospital and they find your can during an inventory or you run across a cop who doesn't understand or care about...

    Yes as long as you do not pass through or take it to a state that prohibits silencer possession. https://www.atf.gov/file/11241/download https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/atf-national-firearms-act-handbook-table-contents/download

    Vintage .22LR pistol?

    I don't want to disappoint you, but you have a fairly common version. The H-D Military was a model name and was NOT used by the military...only the H-D (with no additional designation) was used by the military. Yours was produced from 1946 to 1955 and they made 150,000 of them. Read here: " The...
