    Medical / IFAK Pouch

    Just a minor update - still working on the laminated insert, but I did get inspired to stitch together a little kit that is more handy for me than my previous solution. Apologies to any professional gear manufacturers - I/m using a home machine and the sewing work is pretty awful. I'm happy...

    Tikka T1X

    @keenedge @Kisssofdeath Well, I finally got to the range today to try my new IBI 22LR barrel with a stack of SK ammo. And then I had three fails to extract in a row and that's the end of that for the time being. Sigh. I was able to load and extract 22LR ammo just fine without firing it, but...

    Tikka T1X

    Earlier in the thread @Kisssofdeath reported that the 17 HMR bolt worked fine with the 22LR but the opposite was not so much the case. There are differences between the extractors, please see my earlier post on that with the Tikka product information. I took it on faith that the 17 HMR bolt...

    Rifle Scopes Need suggestions for LPVO

    Stick around for a few more rounds on this thread and you're going to quickly learn that @CrabsandFootball has a very black and white view on things. And the rest of us are idiots.

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon 2-10x36!!!! Spr worthy!!!

    Yeah I found that too and added it to my original post above as well for others looking. Overall he seems really pleased and has other nice glass, but it's his first review some I'm looking for a few more data points before jumping into the pool.

    Tikka T1X

    The IBI I received was in fact set up for a right handed action. I had emailed them and they said it would work left so I was a bit disappointed with it when I received it, but I want to see how it performs before I get bent out of shape. If it doesn't work I have complete faith they will make...

    Have mine all built up and just waiting for a pleasant day to get through a few hundred rounds of SK ammo to see what it likes best.

    Tikka T1X

    It will line up with the extractor on the left but my IBI barrel did have a feed ramp machined in for a right handed action. So far it feeds well enough from a mag at home but I haven't taken it to the range yet to see.

    I went with International Barrels since they are Canadian and I've shot with the owner a number of times and I'm happy to support his business.

    Here in Canada the 17 HMR LH landed a couple of months back. My suggestion, as I have done, is to grab one of those and re-barrel with a .22 LR barrel IF you had any intention of doing that at some point anyhow. Otherwise the wait will be until next summer we have been told and we surprisingly...

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon 2-10x36!!!! Spr worthy!!!

    @smattmul I guess I'm just looking for validation that it is in fact at least comparable if not a step up from the very widely loved Bushnell LRHS 3-12, of which I have two. Sadly not illuminated, and the reticle is a little spartan for my tastes as well.

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon 2-10x36!!!! Spr worthy!!!

    Just a friendly bump to see if anyone has time behind one of these? I'm looking to see if this is a worthy upgrade to my non-illuminated Bushnell 3-12 LRHS for an scout rifle/SPR type of platform. Liking the additional detail on the reticle over the LRHS reticle and the addition of illumination...

    Rifle Scopes How Far Do You Shoot With A Red Dot

    I'm thinking of picking up the 6x Aimpoint magnifier (see this thread here for some discussion) to add to my SHTF rifle with an EOTech. Seems to me that being able to have a handy, removable 6x for PID or longer shots that can also be easily removed and popped back on is handy. Yes you lose some...

    Civilian flashbangs

    No flash but some bang here - https://www.airsoft-innovations.com/products/bang-22 Uses RAMSET .22cal Bottleneck cartridges to produce the sound, so it's not going to be as loud as an SBR.

    Tikka T1X

    Well my T1x is back from the gunsmith. He had to heat up the receiver rather significantly to get the barrel out, but the fit is now easy. The IBI barrel does have a little slop to it so I may also shim it with some brass stock.

    Night Vision Anyone tried the Holosun LE321-GR?

    To be honest I haven't really left the basement with my setup, so I can't tell you that, and I can't find anything at the moment that clearly answers that. It was really the easiest, cheapest option for me that had some semblance of reliability associated with it (as opposed to an amazon...

    Night Vision Anyone tried the Holosun LE321-GR?

    Not familiar with the DBAL D2 but it looks like it has a very powerful (600 mW!) LED illuminator, so basically a big ass IR flashlight. My interim solution until I figure out what is worth the upgrade (which is more complicated since I am in Canada and therefore an ITAR leper) is a Perst 4...

    Thanks! I was shooting Hornady 17 HMR 17 gr V-MAX Varmint Express which I recall reading someone else (not sure who or where I read that) had good luck with. In all honesty it was just to occupy me until my 22LR barrel arrived, which it has. Have all three screws out but that barrel is in there...

    Night Vision Anyone tried the Holosun LE321-GR?

    @KitShickers I'm in the market for an IR laser/illum combo and have been looking into the Holosuns as well. I couldn't find a lot on the LE321G beyond a single review on Opticsplanet that seems to indicate the IR Illuminator is weak, same as the LS 321. I think that's basically what you're going...
