    New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me

    The center gate at our property is named Don't Shoot because I decided to bring out a 556 with Barnes bullets as we had seen a bunch of pigs and no bucks. My buddy objected. I did it anyway. I promptly saw the best buck I've ever seen on our property 187 yards away while holding a 14.5" 556 with...

    Rifle Scopes Atacr gen 2

    OK, that is about what I thought - so my FOV goes from ~7' to ~8.5' at 18X @ 100 yards? Not insignificant, but I don't know if it is enough to unleash a revolutionary generation of scopes outside of some very specific niches

    Rifle Scopes Atacr gen 2

    Big fan of the ATACR 4-16 as well as my VX6 HD 3-18, different weights and applications. What real gains do we expect to see once the patent expires? Greater FOV at magnification?

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    🤷‍♀️ If it was a 6.5 Grendel, I'd take it off your hands. Break it in and see, you might be pleasantly surprised and if not, it is a hunting rig or saleable.

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    I'd be surprised if you don't have a functional final result. I don't regularly fire 30 round strings but at the end of the day my question would be more along the lines of - if the Noveske can't, would the others be able to without a significant increase in weight? Does the accuracy degradation...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    My Noveske barrels from late 2023 look like they were cut by sharks with friggin laser beams on their heads. Consistent .6 MOA 5 shot groups with factory Hornady. I've struggled to get a relatively quick 10 shot string to hold 1" re: when they heat up, but this isn't fluted, plain old round 20"...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    I don't have the DDFs specifically, but within our family we have multiple Noveske barrels in 556 and 6.5 Grendel and they're all capable of sub MOA with factory ammo, and the 6.5 Grendels specifically can consistently shoot .6 MOA with Hornady Custom SST and/or Black ELD-M. I'd be tempted by...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    I fully understand the range of “clean it fully between rounds for the first 20 rounds” and “what’s cleaning?” Early on, me personally, I say a little cleanliness is next to can’t hurt. I’ve come to be a believer in the Montana Bore Conditioner. I always shoot suppressed, seems to stay...

    Louisiana is #1 + Shout out to Go Long Charters

    Had a perfect tuna trip yesterday - we went out of Venice, LA, with Go Long Charters (https://www.golongcharters.com/) - beautiful 42' Freeman catamaran with quad 300's, ran 280 miles total, 140 miles to their secret hunting grounds - hooked 10 sea pigs, AKA yellowfin tuna, landed 8, one I...

    Night Vision Sig ECHO CV25 LWIR 640x512 Thermal Clip-On

    If the SIG is actually selling for $4500 - there are less expensive 640 options with LRF :unsure: https://www.opticsplanet.com/athlon-optics-cronus-ats-pro-35cl-640-6-4x-clip-on-thermal.html I'm not much of an influencer, and as noted Athlon has given me a loaner for a write up, but I believe...
