I'm looking for a nice spotting scope for long range shooting (not hunting, weight/size doesn't matter). I've been using a $100 Bushnell for 10 years and I'd like to replace it with something quality. I was looking at the Kowa TSN-883 after watching this comparison video: I see they're going...

These are pics of my AAC SDN6 with probably 2k-3k rounds of 55gr .223 out of an 11.5" AR. Does this baffle wear look normal? I've never looked at them before to be honest.

I have an AAC SDN6 that I plan to send to Ecco Machine to have the 51t mount replaced with a better mount (TBD) for my 24" .308 Weatherby Vanguard S2 with 1 in 10" twist. I'll need to have the Weatherby threaded, which got me thinking... Should I cut the barrel at the same time? The SDN6...

I plan to send my AAC SDN6 to Ecco Machine to have the 51t mounting system removed, as it's increasing my group sizes. Which bravo pattern mount do you recommend, direct thread or one of the below? I want something with a consistent POI/precision. I plan to run it on my 308 Weatherby Vanguard...

Hey guys, I've got a T. Rex Arms AC1 medium sapi plate carrier on the way and I'm looking for quality level 3+ or level 4 plates. I've been looking at the Hesco 3810s, which are 4 lbs and $625 each in a sapi medium. Are there any other sapi medium level 3+ or level 4 plates you think are...

Hey guys, I'm looking for set of high magnification binoculars for spotting hits on a tripod. I currently have a set of Maven C.1 10x42s that I like for general use and a cheap 18-36x Bushnell spotting scope I'd like to replace for long distance spotting. I like the idea of investing in a set...

Hey guys, I picked a new .38 Smith and Wesson 442 recently and took it to the range yesterday for the third time. When I was cleaning the cylinders and barrel with Hoppes this morning, large metal shavings started coming out of the barrel. After further inspection I also noticed a new gouge in...

Last year, I bought a Large Blue Force Gear Plateminus v2 plate carrier for $175 on closeout and I ordered some AR500 Level III+ Lightweight 10" x 12" ALSC Multi-Curve plates with trauma pads on Black Friday for $200. Unfortunately, after 10 weeks of waiting for the plates to come in, I found...

Hey guys, I just got a new Tikka T3X CTR 6.5 CM 24" and dropped it in a Bravo KRG. I have a class coming up in a month shooting out to 1400 yards. My local range is 850 yards and sheltered from the wind so I probably won't be able to compare the two loads head to head in any significant wind at...

I've got a new Tikka T3X CTR and a Bravo KRG on the way and I have a question about scope/chassis setup. In the past when I've mounted a scope, I've had to work within the confines of the rifle/stock (ex. moving the scope forward because my LOP wasn't adjustable or getting low rings because my...

I have an Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29 scope that I'll be putting on a new Tikka T3X CTR in 6.5 creedmoor. The scope has 32 mils of elevation adjustment. I understand that you can add cant under your scope up to a little less than half your total scope elevation range, giving you almost the full...

My local range is 850 yards, but I need to bring my own steel targets and stands. I'd like to shoot out to 850 yards with .223, .308, and 6.5 creedmoor (and beyond if I find some land). What type of steel target stand would you recommend to balance the ease of transporting the stand to the...

A few years ago, I bought a .308 Weatherby Vanguard S2 and a 12x SWFA SS to get into long range shooting. I've since upgraded the glass on it to an Athlon Cronus BTR, but I haven't shot it much with the new glass, as I've been more occupied with shooting my AR. My local range is 850 yards, but...

I just ordered a 4.5-29x56 Athlon Cronus BTR for my .308 Weatherby Vanguard S2, but I can't seem to find a 34mm scope mount for the Vanguard. I did notice that picatinny rails were available though. Would you all recommend that I get a picatinny rail and a separate 34mm scope mount? If so, any...
