    Does NV/Thermal Clip-on Need to Be Same Cant as Scope?

    Looking at purchasing a chassis that has NV capability for the future, but most seem to only offer a 0MOA NV bridge option. If my action has a 20MOA cant, will this be a problem? If so, why? If not, why not? Actions like the AIAX chassis offer different incline option (0MOA or 20MOA), but...

    Can you double check my bushing and mandrel sizes?

    I am planning to reload for 6.5CM. This is my first foray into reloading, so bear with me. I reached out to SAC about their Modular Sizing Die and what neck shoulder bushing and decapping expander mandrel they recommended for .002 neck tension. For the decapping expander mandrel they...

    I have this post split into a few parts. 1: Equipment, 2: Process, 3: Bullet-specific loading questions. I’ve done a lot of research online, but have never reloaded before. Part 1: Equipment I am considering going this route for reloading. What do I have on this list I should take...

    Dry Tumbling - Lead exposure? Wet - Neck peening? Ultrasonic instead?

    Getting into reloading and putting together my list. So far, I’ve learned everything is a rabbit hole - including cleaning brass! Dry Tumbling - This is the route I was planning on going, but am concerned about the amount of lead exposure. I have a 1yr old son, so I am very cautious of lead...

    What is the ideal barrel length and twist rate for a 22 barrel? I’ve heard 18”-20”, but not is sounds like some people are running 25” barrels? Also, I’ve heard for fast twist rates such as 1:13 as opposed to 1:16. Vid about a 25” 13 twist barrel Vid about an argument for longer barrel length...

    Curtis Rimfire conversion? Or go with a Vudoo or RimX?

    Curtis: Haven’t heard much of anything about it in the wild. Overall consensus of Curtis actions seems mixed at best, including their CS. However, their rimfire conversion seems incredible. I love the idea that I’d be able to shoot rimfire and centerfire out of the same rig. Would mostly choose...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Jack of all trades, master of none - Which Shotgun?

    Priorities are: 1: Hunting 2: Bug Out - Self/Home Defense 3: 3 Gun (I’m not a gamer - more for fun/training as opposed to being actually competitive) 4: Clays (more for fun/training as opposed to being actually competitive) The biggest factors for me are quality, reliability, simplicity, and...

    Any argument to be made for picking up a rifle in 7.62x39?

    I am trying to limit myself. I think 9mm, 5.56, 308, 6.5CM, and 300NM cover all my bases. Any argument to be made for picking up a rifle in 7.62x39? I’ve been tempted to get rifle chambered in 7.62x39 (AK - either WASR10 or ZPAP M70, Bren 2, or Galil Ace) , but every time I get close to pulling...

    Suppressors First Can(s)? For AR15, AR10, and multi-cal precision rifle.

    Initially, I was looking at getting a TBAC 338 Ultra (maybe SR) as I mostly shoot my bolt gun. However, I thought it might be nice to get one suppressor I can use for 3 platforms. The AR15 will be an LMT, AR10 will likely be an LMT, and the bolt will likely be an MRAD, AXMC, or AXSR. I am a...

    Beginner Questions. MRAD vs. AI? 300NM vs. 300PRC vs. 338LM

    Short Story: (1) Which rifle? MRAD vs. AXMC vs. AXSR. Is there a downside to large firing pins, especially for the larger cartridges? I want to avoid pierced primers. (2) Which Cartridge for out to 2000yds using only factory ammo? 300NM vs. 300PRC vs. any other? What twist rate? What factory...

    Triple C Range Rules: Under 3,000 FPS? Am I missing something?

    I was surprised to see a 3,000fps limit at Triple C‘s website (https://www.triplecrange.com/range-rules). That eliminates a lot of cartridges from shooting. Even 5.56. Seems crazy to me, am I missing something? I was looking at getting into ELR and trying to decide on a cartridge choice, but...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns G19 MOS with Holosun RDS. Which BUIS to run? Blacked-Out Sights or 3 Dot Sights?

    Would it be better to run (1) Completely blacked out (Ameriglo Suppressor Height GL-506) (2) Blacked out with nights sights (Trijicon Bright and Tough Suppressor Height Sights) (3) White 3 dot with night sights (Trijicon Bright and Tough Supressor Height Sights with white dots and night...

    Can you guys tell me your step-by-step guide for using the Kestrel? I would also really like any info you have found from reliable sources (Kestrel/AB videos, Everyday Sniper podcasts I should listen to (including episode #), etc.). Maybe it would look something like this? Setting it up...

    PRS Talk Beginner here: Can I get DOPE on my rifle, put that in my Kestrel, and roll with that for the life of the barrel?

    I shoot factory Hornady 108gr ELDM 6mm creedmoor. Is the velocity, etc., going to be changing much throughout the life of the barrel where I need to change my dope? Do I need to find a new MV (or something?) every “X” number of rounds? I am getting into PRS club matches and I don’t want to be...

    Do I need to get a new bolt for each barrel? (beginner question)

    Recently purchased my first AR-15. With you guys’ advice I finally bit the bullet and got an LMT-CQB. If I buy another barrel for it is it best to get a bolt to go with the barrel? I heard with an AR-15 the barrel and bolt mate together?

    What do you hope will be revealed at SHOT Show? Or 2020 in general.

    Most of mine are probably pipe dreams, but here’s my wish list: 1. Vortex releases a 1-8 LPVO to compete with the ATACR 1-8. 2. Vortex releases a Razor Gen III line that has an optional built-in HUD like the REVIC scopes and links to Kestrel/AB. 3. Accuracy International releases .223...
