    High quality soft bag?

    I've got a whole bunch of cases: -Voodoo drag bag (garbage) -Saviour Discrete case (decent so far, minimal use) -AG Precision rifle case 52" -AG M2010 case -Triad Tactical 42" Precision Rifle Carry case -Elite Survival Systems 33" Discrete Rifle case The Voodoo is garbage, started falling...

    School me on 223 AICS mags

    I ran the old polymer MDT .223 mags in my Nucleus (in an ACC then ACC Elite) for thousands of rounds, they ran great but eventually they do wear out. I've been using the metal mags now for years and they run great, much smoother than the old polys. I've got a few of the new polys as well (12...

    6mm vs 6.5mm, not quite beating a dead horse.

    Mostly as a precaution. I've probably been through 6 or so 6 Creed barrels at this point and I keep running them for practice once I've pulled them from match use (at 2k rounds) and they still shoot fine to 2500 but I'd rather not run the risk of getting one that goes prematurely mid-match. I...

    6mm vs 6.5mm, not quite beating a dead horse.

    Honestly, I'd just skip the .260, it is essentially a dead cartridge, never mind the potential issues with OAL if running heavies. Between 6.5 Creed and 6 GT (or Creed, they really aren't all that different) I honestly just think it's a question of what is more important for you, slightly...

    LRF Binos w/Reticle

    There's the Steiner M830R LRF binos. They have a mil reticle and a decent rangefinder, no ballistics, no angle compensation. MSRP is $3k or so but you can find them used for way cheaper since they're an older design and the laser is a bit anemic compared to contemporary bino LRFs (can still...

    Night Vision DNT Hydra HS635

    In the 4MR vid at one point he has it in front of a 6-36 G3 Razor but doesn't ever really mention use with a larger mag scope.

    Night Vision DNT Hydra HS635

    I haven't seen anywhere what max usable mag is on the day optic (when used as a clip-on)?

    Is N150 a throat torcher??

    I haven't run N150 for 6.5 but have been running it in my current .223 barrel (26" HH with a .223 chamber). Was running 24.7gr with 75gr BTHPs seated at AR mag length (for commonality with my gas guns) in shitty FC brass for a few k rounds, gave me 2950ish. Recently stepped down to 23.9 because...

    Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

    My favourite rifle these days is my 18" 6.5 creed. Chassis has a folding stock so nice and compact I mostly shoot handloads in it but my 140gr ELDM load is pretty much the same as the factory 140gr ELDM ammo I've run in it, goes about 2600fps. For your application with probably less time to...

    Suppressor with a brake on it, does it help or not?

    I'm pretty sure he understands the graph, given that his company did the research and published it... also, I've heard you get more recoil reduction if you use a crush washer ;)

    Alternative choice to push-button sling loops on bolt guns?

    Couldn't you just design in an mlok slot up front (most chassis already have em) and one on either side of the rear of the stock so that guys could just put m-lok hooks to run HK clips or para-clips? I've run around plenty with a heavy rifle on my back with slings held on by qd sockets and never...

    Best offset mount and red dot combo for AR?

    For rifles that have diving boards (cause I might run my WMLRF on them) I run Arisaka offsets with an Aimpoint Acro. If the rifle isn't setup for a WMLRF then I run an Acro at 12:00 since it's easier to get behind under nods. As a few others have said, having an enclosed red dot is nice if/when...

    Vortex 2-10 PST vs 1-10 Razor

    I went over the same exercise as you, trying to figure out what was better on. 20" SPR-ish 5.56. Having both scopes, I tried them both (with an offset Acro with the PST G2 2-10) and although I settled on the 2-10, I actually decided to eventually get another LHT 4.5-22 to replace it. In my...

    Zero distance applicability

    I shoot red dots on carbines from 0-200 regularly, sometimes 300 (all 12" targets) although more often than not I'll have a 6x magnifier on if I'm shooting to 300. With an Eotech EXPS 3-2 (so double dot reticle) I routinely shoot out to 500 using a 6x magnifier.

    7PRC vs 7PRCW

    Am I wrong in thinking a 7-6.5PRC would be essentially the same as a 7SAUM?

    How good are Custom Rifle Barrels?

    I've yet to try them but I've had plenty of Hawk Hills and they were always hammers

    Rifle Scopes Dilemma - WMLRF on older scope vs new Scope & and HHLRF

    Figure out what your primary use case is and go from there. A WMLRF is useless for PRS but great for certain kinds of field matches (albeit as an ancillary, not primary, means of ranging). If it were me, I'd upgrade your rifle optic first, even the HDMR2 was a big step up from the HDMR, both...

    11 shots for 1.2 MOA at 600 yards with my M14

    Great shooting! What're the specs on the first M14 in your post (vintage sniper)?

    Dmr/ precision ar type trigger

    Personal preference and all but I like Geissele SSA-Es on gas guns and TT 2-stage Specials on bolt guns.

    Magpul - 2025 New Maztech X4-FCS & X4-LRF
