    Rifle Scopes Best $400 dollar scope Cabellas Covenant 7 small review.

    just to throw my .02 in on this thread....... I picked one of these up yesterday because I had some bass pro points and this thread as well as a few You Tube reviews made me curious. I’d ordered a crimson Trace 3 series 5-25 for my T1X because I loved the tiny target dot BUT I just finished an...

    Well it isn’t “done done”, I’ll end up with a different bbl at some point and I’m still sitting on a junky bipod I found in my tool box, but damn I love how it feels and shoots. Still tinkering with the ejector spring trying to get just a little more force. 130 rounds through it this morning and...

    Suppressor wrap?

    There is like NO heat on a rimfire can man, maybe on a CF can that's true (I don't have an aluminum CF can so I don't know) but I wrapped my rimfire can with no issues.

    Arghhh. We are getting so close. Good bipod, whenever I decide if I’m going with Harris or splurging on an atlas, Anarchy Outdoors 30moa base will be here in the morning, and then scope. Picked up some 34mm Leupold rings today because I ordered a CT Series 3 5-25. After looking at a bajillion...

    Killer shooting Jack. I can’t wait to get a proper base/scope and see if I can match that. Pretty impressed with this rifle so far for 500 bucks.

    6X5 Thread V5.0 *new 1/1/21*

    So this is legitimately the most ghetto setup rifle I’ve ever owned. I have a KRG Bravo on the way, AO 30MOA base, found an Ares ETR that I’ll pick up this week if its still available, and then grab a Harris or Magpul bipod yo finish it off. BUT, as it sits now, it’s a rock stock T1X, I found a...

    I found a local ares ETR (well 4 hours away, in Texas that’s local) for 750 (4.5-30) and I emailed him to see if it’s still there. If it is I’m going to go grab that one and call it a day. Just did a ghetto setup and bbl break in on my T1x, I’m highly dissapointed in the amount of money I spent...

    Jefe I saw yours 7 minutes too late or I would have bought it hahaha. Most likely (unless I stumble on a deal for a pst2 or an xtr2) I’ll go with the ares BTR. Ive got a Midas BTR on my 10/22 that I accidentally bought drunk shopping. it’s not a bad scope for a rimfire at all, just hate the...

    So I’m a sucker for marketing and reading about the T1x and all of these posts, I picked one up today to add to my rimfire collection. Ordered a KRG Bravo on the way home and a 30moa bade from Anarchy Outdoors. Searching for a bolt handle right now to see what styles I like. I’ll probably just...

    Atlas, Harris, or Magpul bipod for spr rifles

    Can you elaborate how well the 45* mod worked out for you? did you just add a notch? I bought one to tray a few months ago, I am still on the fence with it I like my Harris BR bipods because I like super low prone shots, my preferred rear bag is very small etc. The only complaint I gave with...

    6.5 Creedmoor and RL16. Holy Crap!

    Went and shot to 800 this morning. First round hits on 5, 6, and 800 using ballistic AE with the data I fed it. Wind at 90 1/2 value left to right about 400 yards and on. I held off between 0 and 3 MOA depending how the flags looked at the time. CBTO numbers came in 2.236-2.238. Lands on my gun...
