I was wondering if anyone knows of a manufacturer that makes quality suppressors that slide onto the barrel before attaching to the threaded end of the barrel? The overall length reduction and moving the balance point back would be beneficial features. I know that SAKO show these type of...

Re: What is best Supressor for 338??? I have been using Quicksilver's Titan-338 Titanium alloy can on a .338 LM, it is a threaded mount, very accurate and easy on your ears. The only downside it is large, 12" x 1.9", someone on this site gave me a chuckle a while back with his comment on...

Re: Optics comparison Schmidt & Bender vs. U.S. Optics Thanks for all of the information, I already have the S&B 4-16x50 Varmint, it is by far the best scope I own, but I have not used the USO scope for a comparison. It looks like I will add another S&B to the group.

I am getting ready to make a decision on a scope for new GAP .308 custom build and want to get the thoughts of SH viewers who have had a chance to use both brands and give their opinion on which scope has the clearest glass between the 5-25 x 56 Police Marksman II LP and the SN-3 5-25X T-PAL...

Re: Problems with Kestrel 4500NV w/Bluetooth If you will notice that even with the unit turned to the off mode, it is still recording data, look at your graph screens the next time you turn it on and you will see that there is a history being recorded. So as long as you have batteries in the...

Re: Problems with Kestrel 4500NV w/Bluetooth I hope this is correct, I too spoke to Ben Nielson a couple of days prior to starting this post, received an RA number to return my unit. At that time N-K didn't have a fix, but he assured me that engineering would get right on it. Unfortunately...

Re: Problems with Kestrel 4500NV w/Bluetooth I am interested in anything you hear, so far this is my second 4500NV w/bluetooth, both units would freeze at random times on mine. One thing that is obvious with both of mine, it happens much more often in cold weather. Another thing that...

I don't know if this subject has been covered already, too many posts on Kestrels to weed through. My Kestrel operates fine for a period of time, but every so often it freezes and the control buttons have no effect on the operation until the battery door is opened and closed, a hard reset...

I am thinking about changing to Hodgdon's H1000 extreme powder for my 338. The two bullets that I use are 300 SMKs and Bore-Tech's 245 high BC banded brass bullets. Does anyone have experience with this powder? I am mainly interested if MV remains relatively the same over a wide temp range.

Re: Mount for TRG-22: Near Alpha, Sphur, Sako 3 ring? NEAR rail and Alphamount are rock solid and an excellent value. Have both the TRG-22 with a NEAR rail and Nightforce rings (relatively light recoil) and the TRG-42 with 45MOA NEAR rail and NEAR Alphamount (heavy recoil), setup on both...

Re: Form 4 wait time Sent in my complete form 4 on 4/27/10 picked up my hardware on 8/3/10, my dealer told me it would take 90-120 days, he was correct.

Re: Polymer tip .223 and FTF issues Been using 55g V-Max in my Stag AR-15 M4 without any feed problems, just make sure the bullets are seated enough that they don't hang in the mag.

Re: How much felt recoil do muzzlebrakes suppress? Thanks to all that replied, as always I have learned from fellow shooters. I thought I would see that it wasn't good move to let off a round in this caliber without a brake, but like most anything, it is better to ask those who know more...

Re: How much felt recoil do muzzlebrakes suppress? That what I was thinking, it doesn't feel great with a brake. Thanks for the feedback.

The reason for my question is that F-class competitions don't permit muzzle-brakes and I want to try my new TRG-42/338 LM out at the 1000yd mark. The military base range in my area is only available during sanctioned matches. The recoil is pretty stout with the muzzle-brake using 300 gr. SMK...
