    SAKO 90- in stock

    In their defense, their ring mount is pretty discrete and minimalist. So I get not having the Pic across the top, in terms of what you want for a wood and blued aesthetic.

    Match grade threaded 10/22 barrel

    There are SOOOOO many great choices, you are overthinking this. Ultimately, I went with Kidd as I could get great accuracy and light weight, and threaded. But this thread is full of other good suggestions. 10/22 accuracy has been a solved problem for a while.

    223 80g ELDM 28"

    Anyone have any luck with CFE 223? Pretty common here locally.

    Best Semi auto 22 pistol as Supressor host?

    This is one of the reasons the "super short" MKIVs are pretty popular, because 3" basically guarantees everything is subsonic. But a MKIV is designed to chew through the cheapest, dirtiest, 22 ammo you can find, and shoot it reasonably accurately. For folks looking for other hosts, the Cadillac...

    Best Semi auto 22 pistol as Supressor host?

    You just need a lighter mainspring, or to break it in. MkIVs are usually tuned for bulk High Velocity stuff. Mine screams on SV, but I run a 1 lb lower mainspring since I don't shoot the HV stuff in it very often.

    Tikka T1X

    I also tried FGMM (30 rds @ 100 yards), which grouped slightly better overall, same price locally ($8/50), but had a higher overall ES. Still a better option than CCI SV most of the time, depending on your use case. For comparison CCI SV was ~4 inches, but there was a bit of wind. Still, group...

    Tikka T1X

    You guys and your half MOA nonsense. I just shot 30 rounds (ETA @100 yards) of Eley Target today at the range, from a bench, good conditions. This was my group. I was very pleased to have found .22 ammo that cost less than $10 a box that was capable of shooting at around 2 inches with no wind.

    Bang for your buck ammo suggestions

    I have the same issue, and can't find the higher end stuff locally even if I wanted it (Alaska). I've shot CCI SV almost exclusively through my Tikka T1X, but it does seem lacking out towards 200, and now that I have a Xero, I'd noticed some pretty crazy ES while shooting it (70 - 80 across just...

    Leupold CDS Dial for CCI Standard?

    Good lord, the haters in this place. I have a CDS and I love it, for .308 168 FGMM. It works great. All it is dial markings for dope for that cartridge. You don't have to use it, you can just use the actual MOA instead, since the turret is marked with both. I have it on a rifle that I mostly...

    L3i New "Stinger" Barreled action

    I'm looking forward to Lowlight's review of this!!! I wish more manufacturers would start a launch with a SME comparing among known knowns, in this case Bergara, Vudoo, RimX. But so exciting to see more competition here. Would also love to see a Tikka T1X competitor, i.e. build it around T3x...

    L3i New "Stinger" Barreled action

    I bought one. It was 90% there, but controlled round feed, which didn't really work and the round needed to travel ~1.5 inches, the ejector was too small and punched a hole in the rim (thus failing to extract), etc, etc. I still have it. I'm not going to lie, having a Rem700 feed from Glock...

    L3i New "Stinger" Barreled action

    My understanding is that the B14R is a carbon sleeve, not an epoxied carbon wrap? And carbon seems like a gimmick in a .22 where rigidity and/or heat characteristics don't seem like a concern. If you think you need carbon, you are probably looking at Proof/Bartlein and the associated $500+ jump...

    L3i New "Stinger" Barreled action

    Sporter profile plus threaded. You'll sell plenty of those as well.

    Shot show 2024

    Pretty crazy that all Shotshow gets us is some new stocks and a new, expensive, press. Oh, at new PSA guns. Is PSA the only place trying to make new stuff?

    I hope these sell well for LabRadar. But knowing their app is likely to be garbage forever... And the battery life will probably be terrible... And I know own a Garmin...

    Anyone make it to Voodoo? They had been teasing some other calibers recently, wonder if they are ready.

    No love for Uintah Precision?

    I dropped $1000 on a Bolt 9mm THAT NEVER FED PROPERLY FROM MAGAZINES. It was really close to working, but the ejector was too small, and controlled feed didn't work well. So I get it, this hobby is sometimes just flushing cash down the drain. I don't understand with the price of ammo steadily...

    New .223 rifle

    Tikka over Ruger American. I had the Ranch, wanted to love it, it was just such a POS compared to a Tikka. Maybe the Gen 2 adds the $100 in polishing it needs to be a better firearm, but I don't know that I'll ever buy another one.

    No love for Uintah Precision?

    I think they haven't yet embraced some of the more niche market segments that they are perfect for - 300 Blk, 8.6 Blk, etc, etc. I think for most shooters, bolt gun with AR Ergos sounds fun, until you realize that you own 5+ ARs, and do you really want to drop 1k for a .75 MOA upper that has...

    KRG Echo Chassis

    This isn't a flop, we're just not their target market. It is, hopefully, a bulletproof hunting stock for a platform they had neglected up until now. Maybe we'll see this inletted for the Sako S20, or S75/86/90? Or Howa short actions, etc, etc. I'd love to see KRG just dominate the rest of the...
