    Huber 2-stage vs. Bix'n Andy for Rem. 700

    You may already know this, but it's more than just pull weight. You can adjust pull weight for each stage independently, change the length of pull of the first stage, and of course change the sear engagement. You can get it just right, if you're so inclined. With swappable shoes and sears...

    Huber 2-stage vs. Bix'n Andy for Rem. 700

    I haven't handled a Huber, but the B'n'A Two-Stage Tacsport is a top notch trigger. I liked it much more than the Timney CE Two-Stage, which simply wasn't as crisp and had a touch of creep that couldn't be eliminated. The trigger is extremely adjustable, which was nice if you're a tinkerer...

    ARC M10 Scope Rings

    They're all I buy now. So much easier to install, work great and look great.

    Has anyone tried Walker's Silencer Electronic Ear Plugs

    I have the new OTTOs and have shot rifles with muzzle brakes under a low tin roof with no problems with the foam tips. Can’t recommend those enough. They obviously are more expensive than the Walkers, but way less expensive than most high end electronic plugs. The only comparable item I’m...

    Is there a brand of brake or a brake design I want to stay away from?

    What's the profile of the barrel, and what cartridge will it be launching? If you're shooting a straight profile CF barrel with a 6.5 creedmoor or similarly mild round, I wouldn't be worried about barrel whip. Light sendero profile with a .300 Win Mag, you may need to think about it a little...

    OTTO NoizeBarrier earpro same as new Etymotic Elites....

    100% guessing, but considering the GSPs sell for $300 and the Otto's are $360, hard to see Ety selling the GSP Elite for less than $350.

    Rifle Scopes Scope leveling wedge

    I have the Arisaka and while it takes a little finagling to work around the turrets sometimes, I've always gotten it to work. Very handy little device, assuming your reticle is level.

    AI mag - disappointed

    My Bighorn TL-3 in an MPA chassis worked great with ARC mags from the get go. For what it's worth.

    Which Kestrel meter for beginner

    I haven't personally used one, but check out the Weatherflow unit. Does everything the Kestrel 5500 does (wind, atmosphere, compass) for less than a third of the price, except that you have to run it off your phone instead of on the unit itself - which is arguably a plus since a phone display...

    OTTO NoizeBarrier earpro same as new Etymotic Elites....

    Thanks for sharing. The comment on foam actually makes sense to me and matches up with my limited experience with custom molds. The molds fit great and are comfortable, but as they are not expanding to fill your ear like the foam, it makes sense that they would not seal quite as well as a good...

    Noob bipod help

    The Harris deploys faster, which for field use is something to consider. The Atlas does have a lot of nice features but if you just want a basic bipod that you can use quickly, the Harris has you covered. I would add the Pod-Loc or similar upgrade to be able to loosen and tighten cant easily...

    RRS Anvil Ball Head ?

    @MPHReallyRightStuff quick question from looking at the photo of the Anvil on your site. If I mount this on a standard 3/8" threaded mount, is there a set screw to keep it from rotating? It looks like there might be in the picture. In my limited experience with tripods, that 4 foot long lever...

    Rifle Scopes Scope wrap for AMG

    I have GunSkins on a shotgun of mine, and my buddy has used them on a number of rifles and scopes. They're not difficult to install, though some things are obviously more tedious than others (think things with lots of little holes, like Keymod rails, or with weird shapes), and not difficult to...

    OTTO NoizeBarrier earpro same as new Etymotic Elites....

    I thought I read that the batteries automatically stop charging when full to prevent that issue, but I don't see that on their website and I don't have my manual handy. FWIW, the case supposedly holds a charge for 30 days, but I charged my case just over 30 days ago and have charged the...

    Bix’n Andy’s Trigger

    I can't speak to reliability, but as someone who has had both triggers, the Bix was much more adjustable and had zero creep. Never could get the creep out of my CE, even after talking through it with a Timney tech.

    Bipod mounted on Spigot vs under the handguard

    On my MPA, the spigot was only like a $30 add. Moving the bipod forward and moving the apex of the bipod higher definitely made it more stable - well worth the $30. It also meant I didn't have to have a picatinny rail on the foreend, which can get in the way sometimes when trying to slide the...

    Which 2-stage Remington trigger?

    Great to know, thanks!

    Which 2-stage Remington trigger?

    The regular Tacsport is fully enclosed. Judging from this post from Bullet Central (link here), pull weight will be adjustable down to 3 oz (as opposed to 10 oz on the regular Tacsport) and will be able to change trigger shoes (don't believe that's possible on the regular Tacsport but could be...

    Bipod mounted on Spigot vs under the handguard

    It's not just moving the bipod further forward, it also positions the apex of the bipod closer to the bore. Both of those things make the whole arrangement more stable.

    Tripod comparison data request

    If the top of the Manfrotto column or apex where the mounting screw is is wide enough, you can use the one on the RRS. The Hog Saddle tripod was just too narrow.
