Can you guys help me out with my options. I have ashore barrel AR15 with an Acog 4x32 and a 20 inch heavy barrel with a schmidt and bender 4 x 16 x 50 for longer shooting. I also have a AI/AW 7.62 with a schmidt and bender 5 x 25 x 56. I would like to have night vision and thermal capability...

I have a custom Volkmann 1911 with High Heine sights that are fitted into a dovetail. I have a Sig P226 Tactical that is identical. Both gins have high sights to clear the suppressors. I am considering adding a Leupold RMR (RM07) dual illuminated adjustable dot to both. It is more common to...

What holsters (belt preferably) will work well with a new HK USP45 tactical that I have coming I only have used Milt Sparks with my pistols up to a full 1911 size. I am not sure how well this is going to carry on a belt as it is a lot bigger. What are you guys using?

Looking for input from anyone using these suppressors for a 45 ACP. Which do you like better in construction and sound and do you see much point of impact change with them? I have narrowed down my search to these two cans for a H&K USP tactical and possibly for a Volkman I am having built.

I am looking to set up a new 9mm or 45 pistol with suppressor. Which caliber and which pistol and which suppressor will work best? I am looking at a Glock generation 4 Model 19 but then will have to buy a longer barrel and have it threaded and decide on the suppressor. Is there a way to order...

Can you guys give me some advice on adding night vision capability to my rifle. I shoot and AIAW 308 suppressed with a S&B 5x25x56. I would like to add night vision to it but don't want to give up my S&B. I love the scope. Is there any way I can add some kind of NV optics in front of my...

How do you shooters that wear bifocals set up your glasses. My normal glasses for shotguns and scoped rifles have a lower bifocal. If I shoot my pistols I have to raise my head to get the front sight in focus then can barely see the target due to it being blurry. My one friend has inverted his...

I am ordering a new 45 and have no experience with coatings such as Rockote, NP3 and Ion Bond. My very old 45 was all stainless (Detonics Scoremaster) and shot well but was not smooth due to galling of the metal. I like stainless for no corrosion or rust but the do not seem as smooth as carbon...

I started shooting a Detonics Scoremaster in the 80's, then upgraded to a Kimber Super Match in the late 90's. It has always worked great but I hear that a Volkmann 45 is the cream of the crop and much nicer and would like to build another 45 that incorporates all of the best improvements with...

I just received my new Kestral w/ Atrag. Have never used a Kestral and for sure not with a ballistic program. For you that use this gear, I am reading that every time you place the batteries and start it up you need to calibrate it by turning it multiple times slowly for orientation. Do you...

What makes of safes are you guys using? I have read that Sportsman Steel. Ft Knox, Halls are top safes. What else? I need room enough for 8 rifles w/ large scopes, 6 extra rifles, 8 shotguns, and 25 pistols, and jewelry and camera and optics stuff. Will a 72"H x 51" W x 27"D hold all that...

I have been reading posts and searching the net for months regarding shooting mats and soft cases and drag bags, backpacks and LBE gear. How do the shooting mats of Eagle, Tab Pollack, London Bridge compare? What is the best value and of good quality. I only want to buy this once. How are...

I now shoot only 308 using factory Black Hills and Fiocchi and am considering reloading to duplicate my Black HIlls 175 gr BTHP Match loads. I used to use an RCBS for years for all my rifle and pistol but no longer have the equipment. I do not want to spend hours reloading like before and am...

I am deciding which suppressor I want to add to my new AI 308 that has a 19 inch fluted barrel and am leaning towards the Shark. I will need to have the barrel threaded. Mile High Shooting has suggested that I can send the rifle to VIrginia to have the barrel threaded. Should I wait to take...

I would like some advice on what I may need to consider (variables and procedures) to develop my new ballistic tables for a new AIAW 308 with a 20 inch barrel with a S&B 5x25. I do not handload. I have started shooting it with Black Hills 175 gr BTHP moly's. I have a 200 yd zero and use my i...

How many of you are using a hand held wind meter such as a kestrel and then inputting the data into your iphone for your ballistic program or are you just estimating wind speed and crosswind component for the first shot then correcting after? Thanks Gary

I have been reading about the LWRC which is piston and seems to be built well. I also like what I have been reading about LMT which is gas driven. The Knight Armament I hear is nice also but maybe not worth what they want for it. I also read good things about Noveske with them using a lower from...

I have been trying to mount my new S&B 5x25x56 on my flat top Predator AR and am having trouble with the scope mount. I first tried an AI one piece mount with 34mm rings and 28 MOA built into it. The scope did not sit on the rings. The middle of the scope (turret area) bottoms out on the mount...

Has anyone seen any of the custom rifles built by Van Dyke? I would like to build a new bolt action 308 or 338 and was considering GAP but am concerned with the extended wait time. I recently heard of rifles by Van Dyke which am told are of equal build quality and accuracy. Anyone have any...

I am mounting a new scope on my AR flat top receiver and need some advice. It is a S&B 5x25x56 with an AI one piece mount with 24MOA built into it. There are no markings on the mount as to front or back. I am assuming that the torq heads go to the right and that the one lug that is on the...
