    Ragnarok Sniper Challenge?

    Did anyone shoot the Ragnarok Sniper Challenge in 2022? Looks to be a "Mini-Mammoth" in Minnesota. I'm interested in doing a field match of the like with some guys of mine and wondered if someone had feedback on this event.

    Thermal Science Question

    So, this is gonna be a really dumb thread and it will serve no real purpose other than satisfying my curiosity. I had a thought this morning while sitting on the shitter: could you feasibly detect if someone was carrying a concealed handgun from afar with a thermal device? My thought process...

    Are My Expectations Too High?

    Disclaimer: Yes, I'm a decent shot. I've shot well under 1MOA with my bolt gun from the prone. Yes, this was my first AR build, but I'm pretty competent and handy so I feel like I assembled it to the best of my abilities. Context: Put together my first AR this past year. 14.5" Criterion CORE...

    CLE Barrel: Recon vs Tactical

    Does anyone know the differences between the Compass Lake Engineering Recon contour and Tactical contour. I figure the 16" Recon weighs about 34 oz or so, but I can't make up my mind if the Tactical contour looks lighter or heavier based on their pictures. There were no weights or contour specs...

    Gunsmithing Stiller DBM Overlength Magazine Release

    I posted this in the bolt-action section a few days ago and got nothing, so I thought this would be a better place to ask. Does anyone have a lead on where I could get an overlength mag release lever for a Stiller DBM that will make the magazine sit higher? Maybe a modification or a fix that I...

    Left-Hand Gain Twist

    I listened to one of the podcasts today (Episode 171, I think) and a couple questions popped up in my head about LH-GT barrels. What benefit is provided by gain twist if you are already are adequately stabilizing your preferred bullet and have no need to twist anything faster? I know Frank...

    Suppressors Couple of Suppressor Questions (SilencerTech, Witt Machine, etc.)

    1. Does anyone have any experience with SilencerTech suppressors? They don't have a website, and while I have some information on them, I don't have any prices on them. If anyone knows what their models cost, that would be super helpful. 2. What are people's opinions on Witt Machine...

    Range Report Berger 135 gr Classic Hunter

    Anyone used these or have opinions on them? They have a pretty good BC, hybrid ogive, in that mid 130's class I am attracted to for some reason. How's their performance on game? The only downside I can see right now is being $.50 apiece...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Parallax Slop?

    I have a Steiner T5Xi 3-15x50 SCR that I bought used on the hide about a year ago. My parallax dial, which turns quite smoothly, seems to have a lot of play in it on the internals. When I dial the parallax from near to far, I was able to tune out all parallax (no reticle movement) at a little...
