    So how come voting extensions is not cool with USSC in WI but ok with the USSC in N.C.?

    Justices have geographic areas where they are responsible for monitoring emergent cases and taking them or declining them.

    Rifle Scopes SBR Optic... Elcan or Razor? Others?

    The Elcan at 1x is basically a huge red dot. It’s faster than a Micro. A little more sensitive to head positioning. I’m trying to get a buddy to make me a 1.7 or 1.93” mount and then it’ll be almost perfect.

    Jesus, how do you cut a port big enough to overgassed that combination?

    Night Vision pvs 26 vs pvs 30

    The UNS A2 LR or the PVS-30LW will do something to resolve the complaints.

    6.5 Creedmoor gas length question

    My buddy has a 14.9” 6.5 with rifle length gas. It’s important to have a long gas system for this caliber.

    Night Vision Is there too high spec for a tube?

    I can’t tell 64 from 72 in a monocular. Maybe with better eyes, if you were trying to read a book in the dark.

    Why is the 1/8 AR barrel coming back?

    That’s demonstrably not true though. And in any case in the situations where an 8 twist will stabilize well enough to not keyhole you still have degraded BC. Worst shooting conditions I can expect are -20, 800’ASL and 60% humidity.

    Hello! New to the forums. Finally 'pulling the trigger' on my AR setup.

    You’re going to make your wife carry and shoot a 16” 7.62? That’s cold man.

    Why is the 1/8 AR barrel coming back?

    Apparently you have me confused with someone else. I’ve never used this name or a derivative anywhere else. If I could still buy 40gr here I’d shoot some through a 7 twist to show that it works. You’d think manufacturers would pause to wonder if people would be shooting more M856/brown...

    Why is the 1/8 AR barrel coming back?

    No, it’s a serious question. Why do some people believe that 1/8 has an advantage?

    Why is the 1/8 AR barrel coming back?

    Anything under 50gr is specialized. Anything super light for shooting prairie dogs and groundhogs is specialized. Of course, so are the 69gr plus bullets and any mono metal. Need? Need is a big word. But a proof intermediate barrel weighs the same as a 16” carbine M4 barrel. It slightly...

    Night Vision Steele industry

    L3 also makes thin film tubes. Photonis makes advanced Gen 2 tubes that are similar in most ways to Gen 3 but darker. I would probably get either filmless or photonis. The cost benefit on thin film just isn’t there for me. It’s 80% the price of filmless for 80% of the performance. I could...

    Night Vision Is there too high spec for a tube?

    It’s like a marriage. One spouse caught the other in a lie but it was too much trouble to divorce so wifey had to do things she said she wouldn’t do after college to make hubby happy again.

    Why is the 1/8 AR barrel coming back?

    I have yet to see any data points to support 1/7 being disadvantaged for anything except specialized varmint bullets, and I had a class and meals with literally the guy at what is now PEO Soldier who did the test to confirm 1/7 was fine. The one that’s frustrating me currently is that Proof...

    8 wont do it, plenty of people tried.

    Why is the 1/8 AR barrel coming back?

    I’m not on either and I’m not ScottRyan. Use prices for loaded ammunition. Barnes VorTx 70gr is cheaper than BH 77 SMK. I want to shoot a 70gr TSX or GMX what twist would you use for that?

    Why is the 1/8 AR barrel coming back?

    Monos don’t cost more than match. And some barrels are proprietary or otherwise unavailable in 1/7.

    Low profile gas block clearance.

    Why is the 1/8 AR barrel coming back?

    The Berger calculator is giving me 1.31. And I know people have had issues in the cold. The real problem is the 70gr monometals.
