    Lightening up a howa mini

    Just thinking, not necessarily doing. My go-to hunter is a howa mini 6.5Grendel in a boyds laminate tactical/varmint stock. All dressed up she weighs 10lbs loaded and I'm wondering is there much I could actually shave off of it? My brother in law wants to do some deep country hunts this year...

    Anyone try a 6br in a sako trg?

    I'm curious how they fed from the stock trg mags. My winchester m70 in 6br fed fine from aics mags, but the action was cut too sloppy for the mags and all feeding issues I ever had was because the whole mag pitched forward, not from the cartridge.

    Better valve clip on for 3k: nv vs thermal

    I originally had intended to snag either a steiner c35 or swarovski tm35, both of which are msrp 5k but deals place them sub 3k. For 100-300 yards, at the 3k price point, what would offer the best image clarity? A clip on NV like AGM or one of the thermals above? As listed in my other thread...

    Best budget options for NV/thermal clip-on, mid range.

    Live in a rural area and deal with predation of my flock. Last year it was fox with a den not far from the house. I ran a 22lr with a sightmark wraith. It worked ok for the short range (under 100 yards) but this year I have a lot of coyote droppings up close to the house and can hear their calls...

    Steiner P4Xi or PA 3x micro prism?

    While it might sound like an odd comparison, I am trying to get a rifle set up for a run-n-gun match in NC. I'm not an AR guy so I threw one together from parts because this rifle is rarely going to get used. As such it has a fat ass 16" bull barrel that a buddy gave me and she's a thick girl...

    Active retention holster for G17L

    I am planning on a run and gun this fall and I will be shooting my 17L, its the only full size that I own. However, the event recommends that holsters have active retention. Does anyone know of anyone making a retention holster for the 17L? Safariland makes one in a GLS but that looks like it...

    Which bullpup for 2 gun?

    Before you say none, please hear me out. I've been a bolt gun guy my whole life and I've wanted a steyr aug since I've been a kid but I don't shoot enough semi-auto to care enough about buying one. Now my wife would like to do some 2gun run and gun matches. We aren't going to be competitive...

    tactical games typical stage round count.

    I just learned about the tactical games series and I would like to go either at the end of this year or next year. The rules are pretty vague about round count, only stating that 5 mags per gun are required. Are mags loaded to maximum capacity or are there typical stage round limits like IDPA...

    Spuhr question for sako trg

    Question: What is the screw for on the underside of the TRG spuhr mount? And does it have to be adjusted? Is the 45in/lbs enough to keep the spuhr held in place on the 17mm sako dovetail?

    Zeiss LRP S3 or Leica PRS? (For PRS)

    Foggy matches are obscuring steel after they get the paint beat off of them. Its time for an upgrade and my two highest priorities are clarity/contrast of the image and accurate turret tracking. I have known a few bird watchers that swear by Zeiss and Leica for optical clarity so I have been...

    Part fabrication for TRG 22

    My trg-22 came used with the factory stock and a KRG folder attached. Sadly, the factory stock is missing the connector that attaches it to the rail. Seen in this photo from another thread and by part number S5740265. I have reached out to Beretta and they told me that the trg 22 was a legacy...

    Crye alternatives? (In green)

    Paramedic getting paired with a tac team and in need of OD green combat shirt and pants. My agency can provide 5.11 stryke pants in their TDU green, but I would like to find an alternative with the g3 style knee pads. Plus 5.11 doesn't offer a matched color combat shirt. We are allowed to buy...

    At the $400 level, is the MRO all bad?

    I spent some time doing some non-firing breaching exercises a few weeks ago and one of the rifles had an MRO on it. I was super impressed by how the optic just fell into place as I was bringing it to ready. It just so happened that the buttons on my Vrotex sparc died right after I got home and...

    Quick turn around time for a barrel removal?

    Been trying to get the current (aftermarket) barrel off of my TRG 22 and its simply laughing at me. Getting pissed and getting ready to pay to have it removed, does anyone have any recommendations for a shop that would take it off and send it back in a decent amount of time? I'm in upstate NY...

    Chest Rig for short 7.62 mags

    Just curious is anyone out there has tried running a chest rig when using shorter 7.62 mags like AIAW or Sako TRG mags. I really am interested in some of the options out there like the velocity systems mayflower, but they are built for a longer M1a 20 rounder. My little TRG can't even begin to...

    Differences in action wrench brand?

    Looking for a TRG22 action wrench and I see that I have three options: PT&G, bugholes, and KRG Price spans a pretty big range, would there really be any difference in going with the more reasonable PT&G wrench?

    Should I rebore a barrel or scrap it?

    Setting my TRG22 up with the KRG nut system and replacing the existing aftermarket 6.5CM barrel with a sotic 6.5CM. I think my current barrel is close to a heavy palma contour. By switching to the KRG barrel, I will still have the existing shouldered 6.5CM barrel and I started thinking... how...

    6.5 CM 123SMK at 3000fps, chrono error?

    I loaded up some 123gr SMKs over 39.0 grains of IMR4895 today and chrono'd them at 3019fps out of my trg 22 with a 24" barrel. Hodgdon's data states 2896fps from a max load of 39.2 grains of 4895. Could my loads really be going that fast vs the published data? Chrono is a basic competition...

    Linear comp/device with most dB reduction at the shooter

    I am looking at the witt machine SME, but they seem to be perpetually out of stock for 6.5, and it got me to wondering: What linear comp/blast device/whatever you want to call them has the most dB reduction at the shooter? I am debating on either waiting for the SME to come back into stock or...

    IR illumination for the woods

    I am running a sightmark wraith 2x on top of a savage mk II which I have been using for predator control. All of my shooting is done less than 75 yards (most of it between 20-40 yards). I am shooting from a field into a hedgerow that is a known hot spot for furry terrorists. The stock IR...
