I’m relatively new to tripod shooting. I compete in local matches and hunt, but just being honest that it’s only been a year since getting my first “good” shooting tripod set-up. I didn’t F up and got a RRS anvil 30 head. No complaints there. Where I might have F-d is going with a Leofoto...

I normally run Redding FL bushing dies when sizing brass, but recently built a 300 wsm and a buddy had an RCBS FL die he didn’t need and gave it to me. I pulled the expander ball and decapping pin from it and just bump the shoulder 0.002”, then finish with an expander mandrel for proper neck...

Not a super important question, but I have a hard sided rifle case with foam padding in it like just about all hard sided cases. I’m going to make the cuts in the foam for my rifle, can, mags, etc, and my thinking is to cut the rifle portion so the scope sits up when using the middle handle. I...

I’m in the Kansas City area for the next few days and curious if there are any places in the vicinity that may have some large rifle magnum primers in stock? I really don’t need much of anything else, but I would drive just about anywhere within the area to snag some LRM primers. Long shot, I...

I’m totally new to semi auto rifle builds so I have a few basic questions. When I say new to them I mean totally green. I own some semi 22lr’s and shotguns, but haven’t played around with very many semi auto rifles. Not in any rush, but I’m thinking about a new build/purchase. I have plenty of...

Hey Gang, Family of 4 and we are in the market for a second tv. This new one will be used as the main tv upstairs and the current one will go downstairs for the kiddos. We aren’t gamers, and we don’t spend a ton of time watching tv. Mostly stream shows and movies, and some sports. Budget is in...

Some background: I’m largely a hunter but I do some local matches and just generally like to shoot at the range when I’m not hunting. I’m currently running a Promaster xc 525c tripod with a Sirui VA-5 fluid head. To be honest, it was great for just glassing, but it’s terrible as a...

Finally got my Gen 1 TBAC U7 in hand after a 13 month wait. Went to the range today and my 6.5 and 300 wsm wouldn’t read anything with my MS sporter. No surprise, so I’m stuck buying a new bayonet for $175 or buying a mounting system at a similar price point. Since both rifles are in XLR...

Caveat, yes I know a dedicated $8k thermal scope is the way to go for serious night hunting, but I’m a very occasional night hunter and not in the market to go full send on a dedicated night hunting set up for 6 or so night hunts a year. Plus my buddy that I coyote hunt with has a NV on his AR...

Currently running a Harris, but in the market for a solid bipod mainly for hunting. Lightweight is a preference since I hike a lot while hunting. I was thinking of just running a tripod, but I would guess I bring my tripod/Spotter on about 50% of my hunts. I keep eyeing the Spartan bipods like...

Sold. Thanks.

Just decided to buy a new scope, and swapping scopes from a 30mm to 34mm. Running seekins low rings currently, but they aren’t in stock in 34mm. I like Seekins a lot, and price is fairly reasonable. Anything in stock these days I should consider that are lightweight and in the same price range...

Bought a Gen 1 ultra 7 and went with direct thread option over cb. I have two guns I plan to use it with, a hunting rifle in 300 wsm with a benchmark 24” 2b barrel and a light varmint barrel on a 6.5 competition rifle. The can I bought is threaded 5/8x24, and where my barrel is threaded now it...

Bought two boxes (25 per box) of new Nosler brass. 22 are never fired and 28 have been fired once in a SAAMI spec Tikka build. These are extremely consistent in weight, really nice brass, but not the same as the other brass I’m currently using. 6 pieces are primed with CCI 250 magnum primers...

Just got this Tikka T3 back from the smith a few weeks ago and struggling a little to find a load. It’s a stock T3 with the factory stock opened up a bit for a 2b benchmark barrel and bedded, 1-9.5 twist, 24”, plus brake. Intend it to be a hunting rifle. I have Nosler and Norma brass. I found a...

Won’t be in my hands for a long time, but ordered a TBAC ultra 7. Going to use it on a few rifles, some chassis PRS type rifles but also with some hunting rifles. I know some have just bought the V3 bayonet and it works with a can. My question is instead of spending $180 on the V3 bayonet, is...

Maybe an obvious answer to some, but I’ve never owned a suppressor. Just put an order in for a TBAC ultra 7. Going to use it on my 300 wsm hunting rifle and a 6.5 for target/local comps. I shoot both a lot, but I rarely shoot more than 40 rounds in a day. Our local comps are smaller than say any...

I have a 2800.com on the way. Didn’t really see a huge need for it, but a buddy needed a new rangefinder and offered to buy my old one, so I decided to upgrade to the 2800. While I do own a kestrel, it’s not the 5700 so I was planning on trying the Leica app. I manually input some data into my...

I had a Tikka t3x in .338 win rebarrelled by a smith with a benchmark 2b and chambered it to 300 wsm. I shot a box of Hornady precision 200 gr ELDX through it and measured 0.8” groups moving at an average of 2750 FPS. Today I had a chance to test my first round of handloads. I have 200 gr eldx...
