    Eberlestock Pack

    Re: Eberlestock Pack I have never had to try the bin. I have had some questioning looks. I travel enough that I have my TSA routine down pat, however the Operator caused me to spend some extra time at a check point this week. I had the laptop and the Ipad in the scabbard. I took the...

    Eberlestock Pack

    Re: Eberlestock Pack Received my Operator Monday from Ceylon. It made both the pns-atl and atl-iah legs in the overhead bin yesterday as an experiment. It could definitely be overloaded if you tried. Had a laptop and IPad in scabbard.

    6.5x47 Users, anyone experience misfires?

    Re: 6.5x47 Users, anyone experience misfires? Over 4000 rounds split between two custom rifles (a Rem 700 action and a Surgeon action) with NO misfires. All Lapua brass (many times reloaded). Probably equal amounts of CCI and Federal primers. As an aside, numerous Coyotes have met their...

    Eberlestock Phantom vs Operator

    Re: Eberlestock Phantom vs Operator 25% day trips to range or one day shoots. The pack is the range bag, lunch bag and extra clothes bag. 45% weekend hunting trips away from home. I like to have everything in one pack but I can take stuff out when I head to the blind or during stalk. The...

    Eberlestock Phantom vs Operator

    I am trying to decide between the two. I have used the Phantom and it is good for 70% of what I do. The Operator would cover the remaining 30%. Is the extra bulk of the Operator going to cause me grief when I don't need the capacity? Anyone with experience with both?

    Legality of Suppressors

    Re: Legality of Suppressors He would have to be buying from a dealer or licensed person to be denied. Why the laws read they way they do with regards to dealers versus private individuals and sales of handguns, long guns and "NFA" items is albeit wierd but law. Short of a state restriction...

    6.5x47 Speed Estimation

    Re: 6.5x47 Speed Estimation Josh, What bullet did you originally chamber for? Jammed at 2.590" has that 123 set way back in the case doesn't it?

    looking to replicate a load

    Re: looking to replicate a load I have had a very similar experience with Hornady. I have a 308 that shoots the Hornady Match 168 HPBT into very small groups. I would never have known that except I shot a small comp where that ammo was provided. Anyway, I had to duplicate it. I pulled a...

    Cold barrel POI shift issue - UPDATE 12/26/09

    Re: Cold barrel POI shift - is this normal? WTF? From the evidence in your third paragraph above, I would say that the issue has to be in a location that is extremely heat sensitive. That would mean a very end of bolt or beginning of chamber area. IT is hard to believe a loose barrel nut...

    What size neck bushing for .308 Lapua brass?

    Re: What size neck bushing for .308 Lapua brass? 336 works just fine for me. I have previously used a 335 but see no difference on new or very used Lapua brass.

    Short is Smart - SHR Test Build 18" 260

    Re: Short is Smart - SHR Test Build 18" 260 I'll bet your right Jason. The missing Omni belt was what was throwing me off and it is an option on that pack. Although the straps still look a little different.

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Optics 5.5-25x56 Menace Review

    Re: Falcon Optics 5.5-25x56 Menace Review I think anyone considering this scope should only look at it for what it is. It ain't no Nightforce or other high end optic. Comparing it to one is not realistic (I am not suggesting Kevin did). The question is where does this scope stand at one...
