    Suppressed 9mm

    I bought a Dead Air Mask last year. 6 months later I bought a TBAC Ultra 9. I'm hooked and I want to suppress everything. What platform should I consider for shooting suppressed 9mm? I'm leaning towards a PCC. No SBRs. It will mostly be used as a range toy, but don't take that to mean I'm...

    B14R Heavy

    I'm tired of fighting my gear. I have a CZ 455 with the factory American barrel which I had cut to 16.5". It's fine for hunting, but the balance point is unacceptable for PRS. I'm thinking about getting the B14R Heavy, but I'm skeptical it's going to balance without external weights. The other...

    LRF w/ballistics

    Looking for an LRF with onboard ballistics. I will eventually get a Kestrel 5700 Elite so I'm leaning towards a compatible unit. https://kestrelballistics.com/laser-rangefinders?product_list_order=price Curious to know if the onboard ballistics of the LRFs are worth a damn until I get the...

    CZ 455 stock/chassis suggestions

    I got back into shooting and found that my CZ 455 has been discontinued for a number of years and thus my options for aftermarket stocks/chassis have also deteriorated. The synthetic stock would be difficult to pillar bed and the barrel is not free floating so something needs to be done. The...

    Help with matching sets

    I used to be more involved on this forum around 2011. I purchased a Mega Arms billet lower 4-5 years ago thinking that I would eventually get the MKM extended rifle length upper to match. Now I'm starting to get interested again and I see that Mega Arms has been bought out and my beloved upper...

    455 Question

    This might belong in the Suppressor subforum, but I'll try here first. I can't make up my mind between buying a factory threaded CZ 455 (#02114) or the non-threaded (#02113). It makes more sense, economically, to buy the threaded 455 rather than pay ~$80 for a gunsmith to do it later. Factory...

    Action Discussion: T3 vs TRG

    First, lets keep this conversation on the topic of the actions only. I've seen several TRGs and T3s floating around with aftermarket barrels which distorts the discussion about which is more accurate. Out of the box TRG > T3. I want to know what makes the TRG action so great and if the T3 is...

    455 Suggestions

    This probably belongs in the Optics section, but I wanted to single out responses from the rimfire guys. I'm in the market for a CZ 455 (sku: 021113). The gun will be used for hunting small game at 100 yards or less. I want it to be a lighweight, handy rifle I can use for multipositional...

    Mega AR15 MKM

    Is there anyone here who has one. Rainier and a few other places have them for sale, but Mega has yet to list it on their website. I want to know the inner diameter (to fit a suppressor) of the handguard and if the factory ejection port cover can be replaced. Eventually, I will turn it into a...

    LPK Help

    I'm in the middle of building my first AR I've ever owned. It will be used for hunting coyotes and some precision work out to 400m. I just need help identifying which company makes a quality kit as far as pins, detents and springs are concerned. The FCG will be upgraded to a Timney with KNS...

    Mega Arms

    Well today I received an AR-15 billet set. I held the upper and lower together in my hands and could see daylight coming through the gap. I'm wondering if this is normal or should I send it back? I thought that they would mate together perfectly being that it is a matching set. Someone set me...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 3-12

    I am looking for a mid power scope to straddle my .308 5R and would like to spend 1k or so. Any money I save will be used for reloading equipment. I'm going to college, but I don't want to give up hunting/shooting. I've had my 5R for 2+ years and have yet to settle on a quality scope...

    Sticky Cases

    I run a Forster Co-Ax and Redding .308 Winchester dies. My problem is that the reloading process is not operating as smoothly as I think it should be. Below is a link to a video of what I'm experiencing. Hopefully someone can tell me if this is normal or not so that I will not damage my press or...

    Scheels Powder Measure

    Scheels has an electronic powder measure ($250) which is very similar to the RCBS Chargemaster ($350). I am looking for opinions from anyone who has experience with these. This will be used to reload for my .308 and a couple other calibers (not belonging to me) such as 204, 223, and 243. I would...

    Plated vs. Cast

    With the scarcity of .22 ammo, I have been forced to scrounge for whatever is available. I have contacted a hole-in-the-wall dealer who has 3 bricks of Winchester Wildcat. My main concern is what problems I may face due to this ammo being a lead cast bullet. I would greatly appreciate some...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA vs. Vortex

    Hi all. I'm looking for a FFP scope in the $1000 range to sit on top of my 5R. I will be shooting out to 600 yards for now. I am considering the SS HD 5-20x50 and the PST 6-24x50. Both scopes receive fantastic reviews on this website and elsewhere pertaining to build quality. My main concern is...

    Help choosing a .22

    I'm having trouble choosing a .22. I will use this rifle for hunting so it needs to hold 1 MOA @ 100 yards out of the box. I would like to only spend $400 on the rifle. Bolt actions only, preferably those with pre-drilled receivers for scope bases.

    Single Stage Press Opinions

    I am very new to this long range stuff and could use some advice on selecting a high quality single stage press. I will be picking up a .308 Reminton 700 5R on 12/10/11. I will eventually be working myself up to shoot out to 600 yards. The rifle is going to be used for long range hunting. My...
