Well, after bragging on my Burris XTR Pro about it being problem free (albeit that I didn't exactly have a ton of rounds through it), it will now not dial back to zero .:LOL: I have no clue what is going on, but I took the dials off and the only thing that appeared off was that my little zero...

My AT-X in the back, my buddy's SMR in the front. He left his rifle with me for a few months to do some load development on. I've read a lot of fantastic optics comparisons on this site by guys with a lot of experience...I'm not that guy, and this isn't that high quality review, so if you're...

Just got ahead of the storms today to boresight, zero, and do an initial break-in on my new trainer. I shot 2 - cleaned, 3 - cleaned, and then 5, 5, and 5 with a cleaning between each. The patches are coming out without much, so I'd say the break-in is complete as well. Managed a .4 for...

Yet again, one of us "poors" is looking for advice. I'd appreciate any help if I can get it too. Background: My use is for informal paper punching at 100 (about 10% of the time), and steel targets out to 900 at max, usually 750 and in (the other 90% of the time). I do not need extreme...

I figured that there were a few experts among the 'Hide that may have some experience with this. My wife and I are building a Veterinary clinic out here off of one of the corners of the ranch. We are in the process of wiring the building now, so if a wired system would benefit us best I can...

Gents, I am at a loss here. My final answer to this problem is that I just ordered a Brux barrel, and will get it chambered in 6.5x47 and spun on by Matt Stewart of Stewart Rifles. However, that doesn't guarantee that my problem will go away, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone else (I'm...

I'm sure that some if you have to deal with this too. This summer I've had three different packs of dogs on the ranch. Usually there are just 2-3 dogs each time. I get them on my game cameras at least twice per week, often three times. Ive had up to five at a time on camera though. I've...

Not going to link a Fox News story, but Gov. Stitt just signed a bill banning critical race theory BS from being taught in public schools. That's four great bills in the past couple of weeks (2A sanctuary state, can run over rioters threatening you [extremely condensed], churches can't be...

I'm assuming that there is a 10-word or less correct answer to this question: My 18 inch Predator barrel that I ordered New Years came in, and like a good little monkey I raced to the shop and started slapping things together. Lo and behold, the supplied proprietary 1.477" gas manifold that...

The owner of this one never showed on any of my trail cameras. I suspect that he moved in after the season while he was looking for forage. Found the shed as I was starting the ground work for a new food plot this week. Unfortunately something has had at it for a bit. 9 points on this side...

Maybe somebody has some insight as to why I'm having issues getting CCI 250s to ignite in my relatively new rifle. I do have many years of reloading experience...but that doesn't mean I'm exempt from screwing something up. Fortunately I've had zero issues with Fed 215s so far, but I had to...

This wasn't designed to be a 30 minute feature, but rather a super quick overview of the hogs I shot after loading a box of Barnes 120gr TAC-X for my Grendel. I was pleasantly surprised with the results I had on large hogs at modest velocities.

I recently scored an excellent condition S&W 34-1 (22LR) in nickel that I thought would be perfect to have for one of the girls. I actually already own another one of the exact same revolver, so now I have one to pass down to each of them. I traded out the checkered magna style grips for...

After 35 days of being without it, my replacement Thermion came in. I've mounted it, and checked the unit over after letting it charge overnight. So far, the internal battery icon is there (connection issue was why I had to send it back). I'll put a few rounds through it tonight and zero it...

I thought I'd share this if some of you haven't seen it already.

This dude just interrupted my supper. He was strolling through some calves, and now he's a permanent resident of my spring calving pasture. Of interesting note. He measured 43" (about 230lbs), and I got a full pass through at about 60 yards with a 64gr .223 Speer Gold Dot. The bullet entered...

Not bashing, just informing. Sellmark has had my Thermion XP50 for a month now. I've had several discussions with them on the phone now...their CS reps are very polite and professional. Still no replacement for my dead on arrival thermal however. At one point two weeks ago I thought that...

Looking for input from people with more knowledge than mine. I thought an 18" rifle gas barrel in .308 should have somewhere in the neighborhood of a .096" gas port? I have a short stroking issue and while I lack the proper gauges, I can't get a piece of .078" hot wire through the gas port on...

I usually post my hog shooting stuff in the thermal section, but these were killed during the morning hours. Don't see many hogs here during daylight, but these pigs were without a mature adult and didn't know better. I've killed off all the adults with thermal hunting, so I expect to see some...

Got my large frame AR together, and have a single shot with about 12 rounds through it. However it shot 1.5 MOA with ZQ1 ball, so I'm at least happy about one thing. The thing isn't even unlocking. It manually cycles just fine. Lubed the crap out of it. Checked the gas ports and everything...
