    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I rethreaded my 30P-1 from 5/8 to 3/4 just to fit my DTA. Not ideal for most people with multiple rifles, but I didn't plan to use that suppressor on any other rifle. I like my DTA that much.

    Rifle Scopes Cat Tails

    I wouldn't beat on my high priced equipment unnecessarily regardless of how robust it is. You're just asking for trouble to happen at the worst moment.

    Rifle Scopes Help on S&B Scope Differences

    I find the MTC turrets frustrating due to the difficulty in hitting 0.1 Mil past the full Mil mark. Love the DT turrets with a zero stop.

    Suppressors TBAC Customer Service - above and beyond?

    I was so impressed with my 30P-1, which was my first suppressor, I decided to order 2 more of their cans in other calibers. I had some questions and wanted to request no taper on a 22L-1 to match the profile of a Pac-Lite barrel. Not only did they get back to me quickly to answer my questions...

    Rifle Scopes Hensoldt 3.5-26x56

    I was really looking forward to getting this scope until I read about the price. I think whoever buys it must have their junk slapped square into a bowl of nuts. In other words, they're F'n nuts.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I had TBAC make my 30P-1 with 3/4-24 threads. Shoots great on my 6.5 Creedmoor conversion for my SRS. TBAC is very accommodating with customer requests in my experience.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Th Magazines: I took a metal file and gently rounded the edges of the lips anyplace that contact with the cartridge is made while either loading or unloading the magazine. This basically fast forwarded the break-in process. Helped a lot to make...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread Do I need to be concerned with a bushing that moves? I got a new Creedmoor conversion from DTA and noticed after 20 rounds that the bushing was sticking out beyond the bolt face slightly. I don't remember seeing it sticking out when I...

    Suppressors DTSS compared to TBAC

    Curious if anyone has had the opportunity to compare a DTA suppressor to a Thunder Beast. I am wondering if there are significant differences in terms of baffle design / construction / accuracy / first round shift. I have not heard too much about the DTA cans other than an occasional praise...

    Rifle Scopes S&B PMII Gen II recticle breakdown

    Re: S&B PMII Gen II recticle breakdown One important differance to me between the 2 reticles is that the Gen II center has a roughly 0.2 MIL space prior to the first 1/2 MIL hash. Dial up 0.3 MIL from your dope to use the top of the center cross like a pistol's front site. This lets you see a...

    Rifle Scopes Hensoldt and S&B

    Re: Hensoldt and S&B I prefer the S&B turrets over the Henny. Hensoldt uses a tooth and groove design on their turret caps which may prevent the hashes on the turret from indexing perfectly with the referance mark on the scope body. The inside of S&B turret caps are smooth allowing the user...

    Rifle Scopes Henny 4x16 question...me or it?

    Re: Henny 4x16 question...me or it? Mine had the fish eye effect. Very profound at low mag and alleviated at higher magnification. I found it very distracting. I have used S&B, USO, and Premier also. None of them had this extreme distortion. Don't know if it is a function of the huge eye box...

    Rifle Scopes Tunnel vision in scopes?

    Re: Tunnel vision in scopes? I was thinking about how to calculate amount of tunneling and came up with: High Magnification / Low Mag. = Zoom Factor Zoom Factor * Low FOV = X X - High FOV = Amount of Tunnel Amount of Tunnel + Low Magnification is where tunneling would end. How is my math...

    Rifle Scopes S&B locking turret problem

    Re: S&B locking turret problem Yes, it is not the idea I have a concern with but the design. It seems like a very nice feature to have on the windage turret especially since most people dial elevation and hold for wind. I tried ordering a US Optics with Horus reticle Jan. 2009 but almost...

    Rifle Scopes S&B locking turret problem

    Anyone else concerned about the new locking turrets S&B is using on their new 5-25 and 3-20? I may order a 3-20 but can't get over the carelessly designed ergonomics of the new turrets. Seems like you would be engaging the lock everytime you wanted to turn the turret. I think they should have...

    Re: are choate stocks good They are uglier than sin, aren't they? I hate to say it but that alone kept me from trying one. Glad to see it isn't the only negative.
