    Back to the drawing board?

    For those of you that run suppressed gas guns, have you had a tuned load for your rifle perform horribly once you mounted a can? I did load workup in 2020 for my .308 shooting a 155 scenar at 2726fps out of a 16” bbl, and it held pretty much 1 moa at 100. I had it doped out to 700, due to scope...

    Shooting after concussion

    So, skipping the story telling part, for those of you that have gone through post concussive syndrome, how long after symptoms subsided did you resume centerfire rifle shooting? Anyone in the medical field of expertise have some insight to share?

    Raptor SD Charging Handle

    Been trying to source a raptor sd charging handle for an ar-10 since may of last year. At this point I don’t even care about color options. Does anyone have a lead on this item? Radian has been on backorder for a year. 🤷‍♂️

    left hand gas-buster?

    Does anyone make a pri gasbuster style charging handle for left handed shooters? More specifically for the lr-308 platform? Waiting on a can to get bailed out of jail and want to get a head start on mitigating gas blowback. I made a gasket for one of my ar-15 charging handles but never got...

    Scale options under $300

    Are there any decent digital scales under $300 that have a .02gr ish resolution? Don’t really need a dispenser combo unit, and can’t really justify an AND or Sartorius at the moment.

    Jard drop-in Set Trigger

    https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/jard-ar-set-trigger/ Personally, I prefer my geissele 2-stage ssa triggers in my gas guns, can’t see much merit in a set trigger in a semi-auto platform. But they are saying its 13oz for the set break, and 4.5lbs without. What do you guys think about this?

    Rainguards for Sig Kilo 3000

    So yeah, the sig kilo 3000 comes with no lens caps, no rainguards, and some funky open sided case. Verified that vortex viper hd 10x42 lens caps will work, but the rainguard is too tight to slip over the eyepieces on the kilo. I put my calipers on them and got around 1.865” or 47.39mm...

    Rubbing alcohol shortage

    I haven’t seen rubbing alcohol on store shelves since February. Do any of you have suggestions for a substitute for cleaning sizing lube residue off cases? I guess I could throw prepped brass into the tumbler a second time, but I’m a creature of habit and it would throw off my routine.

    tipton vs bore tech cleaning rods

    Had a tipton cleaning rod years back, it did what it was supposed to. Looking to get a new rod for my rimfire barrel, and these are the two candidates. Being that the tipton is like $25, I’m wondering if its made in China. The bore tech is closer to $60, and is a coated steel rod while the...

    dumb question on magnetospeed

    Could I run a magnetospeed at 3:00 or 9:00 on my rifle? I have a bipod mounted underneath, its a 15” handguard with a 16” barrel so the strappy thing is out. I could shoot off a tripod and mount it at 6:00, but then I’d have to pull the bipod off.

    Secureit Rifle Lockers

    Anyone using secureit products for rifle storage? In the market for a storage cabinet/locker/safe, but not trying to buy a 350lb vault to stick in an apartment. I’m kind of leery about electronic locks, and I don’t really need bank vault type security. More for keeping kids and maintenance guys...

    ‘smart’ spotting scope?

    Readind a thread about tripod setups earlier, seen a lot of cool configurations with kestrels, lrf’s, binos, tablets, and spotters mounted on tables and rails got me wondering. Is anyone making a spotter with an integrated lrf yet? Seems like a good idea to have a rangefinding spotter that can...

    Lee handheld

    Anyone ever resize rifle brass with one of those lee handheld presses before? I know they were pretty much for straight walled pistol stuff, I don’t really have the room currently to set up all of my reloading stuff here so was curious if this was viable or not. Thinking about doing .308...
