    School me on pistol battle belts

    I’ve been using a Safariland ELS setup for the last few years for 3gun. I like that I can re-arrange or remove my gear and holster as needed with their clip system. I started out with a battle belt setup years ago and quickly moved on. For any kind of competition I’m sold on a velcro duty...

    SAKO TRG-22

    I don’t think you can go wrong either way. I like my pre-2013 TRG. The older style trigger can be adjusted to a lower weight, but you can take it too low and cause problems (binds up when working the bolt fast) I adjusted mine too low then increased it to a reliable weight. Its not really a...

    Rifle Scopes Cronus BTR--Razor Gen 2--Toric 4.5-30

    I have two Cronus BTRs. I’m a big fan of the reticle with the floating crosshair. No complaints with the scopes. I’ve looked side by side and shot an identical rifle with a Razor Gen2 and couldn’t tell a difference optically. I do like the locking turret and feel of the razor better but I...

    Movie Theater Bosch, Season 6

    Another great season. This has been one of my favorite shows. I just wish he would put his 1911 mags bullet forward in his mag pouch.

    Rifle Scopes Stupid Diopter Adjustment Question

    I decided to re-check my rifle setup and scope diopter settings today. This is on an Athlon Cronus BRT I set the parallax to infinity and set the rifle up to look out the window at the blue sky. I started with it all the way in and the reticle looks really clear there. It doesn’t start to get...

    Giraud Power Trimmer vs Henderson Precision Powered Trimmer

    I like my Henderson trimmer. It’s fast and consistent. I like that it’s set to trim to the OAL base to neck vs the shoulder. Changing calibers is easy. Swap the cutting head and stop bolt. I like the hard stop with the bolt. Once you set it it’s good for that caliber. No need for a micrometer...

    Rifle Scopes Best rifle scope for 1200 bucks?

    Used Cronus BTR or DMR2 Pro I bought two Cronus’s here in EE and a DMR2 Pro from the last GAP deal. Hard to beat for the money. I’d like to move up to a try alpha caliber scope but these have all the features I need. For a little less the Bushnell LRTS are tough beat. They punch way above...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 5 3.6-18 vs Bushnell DMR 2 Pro 3.5-21, which is better?

    I have a DMR 2 Pro on a 308 AR. i like the reticle and size of the scope, but it’s on the heavy side. I’ve been considering replacing it with a MK5 or ATACR eventually, but right now no complaints on my end. For a dedicated hunting rid I’d lean toward the MK5. Another scope to consider would be...

    Movie Theater Seal Team TV

    I noticed NF ATACRs and a KRG SOTIC in this episode. It’s cheesy network TV but but whoever is in charge of props has good taste. This is a guilty pleasure show for me. Looks like the enclosed fore end too.

    Mine came in today. Awesome little piece of gear. This will be handy! Works great with my Steiner HX15x56 I just got from the EE the other week.

    Rifle Scopes LRTS 3-12x44...a diamond in the rough?!?

    I’ve been using a non-illuminated LRHS 3-12 for years on my MK12ish SPR rifle. It’s such a good scope I can’t see replacing it. I wish I paid what the current deals have been for the LRTS. These scope are a killer value. I have a 4.5-18 LRHS from the GAP deal sitting in my safe for a backup or...

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    Just a few thoughts for the OP. 1. Mile High will send you replacement screw no charge. Ask me how I know lol 2. Try shooting 10 shot groups. I’ve ruined more good 5 shot groups than I can count chasing that 1/4 moa if I do my part thing. A 3/4” 5 round group can turn into a 3/4” 10 round...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Ring Selection Advice for TRG-22 in 6.5CM

    I like the Spuhr direct Mount. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with rings or a one piece mount on the factory rail but I do think there’s a benefit to removing a set of fasteners And going direct.

    Rifle Scopes Atacr 416 vs mk5 3.6-18

    I’ve been struggling with this choice too. My problem is I’m not wild about the reticles in either scope.

    Rifle Scopes Real talk....Can Athlon's top 2 really compare?

    My two Cronus BTRs have been great. I’ve shot them side by side with my dad’s Razor G2 and I can’t see much difference in the glass. I prefer the Cronus floating crosshair reticle. Really tough to beat for the money when you can find them here used for $1100-$1200

    Gunsmithing Armorer's wrench? Removing surefire brake

    Surefire brakes do have some thin 3/4” flats on the front. Most armors wrenches, or a regular wrench should do the trick. I used my magpul armors wrench last time I pulled one. I used a reaction rod to hold the barrel and upper, and hit the wrench with a mallet and the rockset broke with no...
