    Suppressed Subsonic 300 Blackout

    I toyed with this for several years, had everything from 8" to 16" barreled ARs, some with pistol gas, some with no gas and side charge bolt. In the end, I wanted smallest package and quietest shot, so ended up settling on a breach-load single-shot H&R handi in 300BLK. It is single shot, the...

    M1a SOCOM

    If you want an M1 to have an M1, go for it. I got bit by that bug years ago and got over it quick. They are cool to own, occasionally fun to shoot, but AR10 is so much better from every perspective - other than sheer coolness. I had a hard time getting mine scoped, only to figure out it was...

    Am confused: are the circled areas the "suspect" areas of this image?

    As a fellow diver, that is cool as hell.

    Best offset mount and red dot combo for AR?

    What's the primary optic, what will you be using the offset to shoot at, have you ever run an offset before: so many questions. My ARs with backup red dots sit on top, I much prefer lifting my head a bit over tilting the gun, changing my firing position, and learning a whole new trick. Add to...

    300WM ammo recommendations

    I don’t hunt long range so group size is less Important than dead. That said, I don’t waste hunting bullets on range pursuits. My 300 of choice loves 175 SMKs at about 3100 FPS, if I am shooting for precision hits at range, that is my go-to. But that means exactly nothing to you; since yours...

    300WM ammo recommendations

    Favorite caliber for rifle, good choice. What are you shooting at? Mine are used primarily for hunting and are fed a steady diet of 180-gr TSX and TTSX. That said, when the task is range work, they get 208 Amax and 175 sierra matchking hand loads. Since you have the caliber, now you need to pick...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I did a can last week, individual, from cert to stamp in email: 36 hours. In a word: glorious!

    Gunsmithing Tubb's final finish lapping bullets; lets hear it.

    My $0.02: don't expect miracles from this. I ran it once long ago and it did indeed make tha barrel easier to clean, but it didn't tighten up groups any. That was a factory 300WM. It basically turned a 25-rounds-down-the-pipe bolt gun into a 200-rounds-down-the-pipe bolt gun - but easier to...

    Kahles vz ZCO

    Kahles fucked a lot of customers over many years ago. Speaking for myself only (as one of the customers they fucked over), there was one and only one Kahles person that tried to make it right - and it was Jeff - who is now at ZCO. I own a few ZCO's due to quality and reliability; they make...

    That is the part you take issue with? Interesting.

    Best 5.56 bullet for Coyotes

    Either you are doing it very wrong or I am a coyote killing god (assuming the former, but the latter is fun too.) I have found them to be quite fragile to a decent hit with a decent bullet. I favor small bullet moving very fast that exploded on impact. My least success has been with a large...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles or ZCO upgrade

    Kahles screwed a whole buncha shooters years ago with the gen1 K624i - some of us still hold a grudge. If you buy a Kahles and they can get out of making good on it, history says they will. And, for reference, the guy that tried to do right by me when I had an issue - he is at ZCO now…

    Thermal clip on for nx8 4-32

    I run a Steiner C35 in front of several optics and there is indeed a degradation as magnification increases. That said, target identification and point of aim are very different things. I tend to ID at low mag, then can zoom in for taking the shot if needed. For my situations, the Steiner...
