Has anyone used 100 Concepts scope caps?

For those of you that's used them, how did you like them?

I like the idea of them but I'm wondering if they would be a total pain to use with a scabbard like they have in an eberlestock pack? Also, would they be a nightmare to use with the neoprene scope protectors?

Totally seems like it would be, I'm kind of hoping you guys tell me it's fine lol.

Suppressors Abel Company - new offerings - Suppressors!

Hey Everyone,

We'd like to formally announce a new offering from Abel Co to the members of SnipersHide! The Biscuit and Biscuit-S suppressors - our first 2 models (with plenty more to come down the line). For those that don’t know us, we designed and manufacture the Abel Table, a modular tac table that can be used for a multitude of different tasks.


Abel Company was created to provide quality products and resources that support American citizens, our military and our law enforcement. The owners of Abel Co. come from a long background of Aerospace & Defense manufacturing and fabrication - experience and knowledge that we take into Abel Company. Our goal is to grow Abel into a defense solutions company that provides goods and knowledge to our customers.


Our Suppressor - The Biscuit/Biscuit-S

Our concept, that we took to development, is to make a suppressor that functions well on every platform and mostly caters to individuals who want one suppressor for ALL of their firearms We have done extensive testing on our end to hit several key criteria prior to approving release to market.


The key criteria we achieved is as follows:
1. Suppress sound (obviously) to levels under/near 140 Db at the shooter's ear per MIL-STD-1474. This criteria was achieved; different platforms yield different results, but overall this was achieved. We use the B&K Impulse Noise Evaluation System (PULSE) for all in-house testing and we partnered with PewScience to provide 3rd party testing.
2. Create a suppressor that does not add significant length or weight to the firearm. This was a mandatory design characteristic for us as a result of meeting with active LE/MIL personnel that made their concerns known. This suppressor must be at home on a precision bolt gun and in a CQC environment.
3. Minimize the back pressure felt/experienced by the shooter and the host weapon system. This is especially important as we are marketing this suppressor as a do-all suppressor and it musty perform reliably on gas-sensitive systems.
4. Minimal to non-existent POI shift and predictable repeatability.
5. Affordability. It is important to us that we manufacture and sell suppressors that are affordable to the consumer.

The Biscuit was designed as a "Jack of all trades” suppressor. It is 1.80”-1.85” in diameter, fully-welded 17-4 stainless (heat-treated to the H900 condition) and features an industry standard 1.375x24 threaded mounting end. The Biscuit weighs in at 15.9 ozs, is 5.5” long and is rated as a hard use suppressor. The end cap is welded but can be ordered in .223 or .30 exit diameters. It can be used on anything from SBRs to magnum bolt guns. We have tested and rated it up to 300PRC.

While this was not designed to be a specific bolt gun only can, it has proven to be excel when testing POA/POI shifts (I personally shot a 10 shot group where every other round was attached vs off and it was under 1 inch).

The MSRP for the biscuit is $790 and the S is $700. We will be offering an introductory discount for Hide members so please PM me for the code. Please ask us any questions you have in this thread and we will be happy to answer them.

Suppressors TBAC Magnus RR-K vs Area419 Maverick vs Without Warning CHAD

I'll keep this a little short and maybe add to it later since family and kids take up 99.99% of my time 😬

Edit: big update at this post: https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...vs-without-warning-chad.7229804/post-11745665

Edit 2: follow up after 3 days of shooting. https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...vs-without-warning-chad.7229804/post-11747490

For background, I've owned by Maverick from nearly the point it was released. I've used it enough through several PRS seasons that I'm quite familiar with it. I've sent it back to Area419 for several cleanings and a separated baffle stack (that occured during a 2 day match). They have always taken care of it, no issues. It is an EXCELLENT performing suppressor for its intended use. I run it in the shortest configuration. It has certainly helped with the longevity of my shooting sessions when doing PRS specific repetitions.

I recently picked up the Magnus RR-K and Without Warning CHAD (to shoot in suppressor unfriendly states and countries).

After putting a few rounds through all 3, I'll share my initial thoughts:

The Magnus RR-K certainly has a more suppressor feel vs the Maverick. The Maverick, to me, feels more like a brake with the signature 'snap' when you shoot it. It rarely leaves the target by much and remains easy to drive. I've always appreciated that I don't have a headache after 2 days of constant shooting or with heavy training regiments. When comparing the two suppressors, you can notice the opening of the last aperture on the Magnus RR-K is the same as the bore diameter and the Maverick is a little larger. This was at quick glance. So, I think this may slightly drive how they perform differently.

The Magnus RR-K has a slight push with a small off-target drive. Now, this could simply be something that I need to train better for or that I simply haven't shot the suppressor enough to anticipate and understand the feel of it. It is something I will be working on. It is not loud when compared to the Maverick (outside the shooter's perspective). In that sense, it is definitely quieter IMHO. From the shooter's perspective, I liked the overall sound and tone of the Magnus RR-K vs the Maverick.

The CHAD is quite a brake. I've used the Sidewinder, Hellfire Match, APA, and ACE in the past. I have mostly removed myself from shooting brakes simply due to the fact that I get really bad headaches after long sessions of shooting. And quite honestly, it's one of the main reasons I've stopped shooting Open guns in USPSA. (Decades in the Army finally caught up). So the reason for this purchase was to simply use the CHAD when I travel to locations that don't allow me to use suppressors. The problems that I've had with other brakes is the concussion felt at the shooter. Previous brakes were HORRIBLE. The CHAD does not have that same concussion effect that I've experienced in the past. However, the sound signature from outside the shooter is certainly there. When shooting the CHAD, I noticed what can be described best as a gust of wind flying "around me" vs "at me." The CHAD performs as intended and advertised, and likely the best brake I've ever shot. It literally does not move off target. After shooting targets at 525 and 585 yards with build and break drills on a wobbly ladder and single bag, the performance of the CHAD is quite apparent and a positive one. The price tag, however, is hard to swallow. So, I get it...

So what will I use going forward?

At this point I will likely be trying my next 2 day match with the Magnus RR-K, with the Maverick sitting on my backup rifle that I usually bring. I was happy with the Magnus RR-K and it's initial performance. The CHAD will be put away and likely only be used when I'm forced to shoot a brake. It is a stellar performing brake, but brakes still remain a contentious issue for my brain, ears, and sinuses.

Hope this helps people. My 2 cents...

SOLD *SOLD!* FNH SPR A5M XP 20” .308WIN - $2250!

*SOLD!*

This is an amazing condition FNH SPR A5M XP rifle:

-Accurized M70-pattern action (uses pre-MOA trigger)
-McMillan A5 Adjustable stock
-20” .308WIN 1:10 twist, straight-fluted, heavy barrel with chrome-lined bore (factory guaranteed to shoot 1/2MOA for 10,000 rounds)
-threaded 5/8-24 w/ thread protector
-FN TBM bottom metal
-Seven *very* hard to find 10rnd magazines
-Three 5rnd magazines
-Factory manual
-Factory test target (3-shot, 0.52” group at 100y with FGMM 168gr)
-Logbook going back to factory test shots

This rifle is absolutely amazing and no longer in production. The logbook shows 403 shots fired, and I put another 40 through it that I failed to log a few years ago, for a total of 443 rounds fired. It’s accurate, smooth, and ready to shoot! It does have one area where some of the texturing on the forearm was worn off by a prior owner (pictured), but aside from that it’s in phenomenal condition and would make an excellent addition to your safe.

*NO, I will not sell the mags separate unless the buyer of the rifle does not want them!*

I’m asking $2550 $2500 $2400 $2300 $2250 shipped and insured for the entire package from me as a private individual to your FFL. Add another $50 if I need to ship from an FFL, or subtract $100 for local Indiana sales (near Tippecanoe County). I’ll consider reasonable offers, but I’m not desperate for a quick sale so please save those lowballs offers for someone else. ;). The 10rnd mags go for ~$65-70/ea or so, and the 5rnd usually go for ~$50. The TBM comes with one 5rnd and one 10rnd, so I have an additional ~$490 in mags here, setting you up for life on mags!

No trades please, I’m making some big changes due to health stuff and have a specific path forward from here that’s too complicated to get involved with trades.

Payment to be made via USPS MO or Zelle. I’ll also accept a personal check if you’re OK waiting for it to clear before I ship. No PayPal, no Venmo. I realize this is an expensive item, so I’m absolutely happy to call and speak with you directly. My feedback is extensive both here and elsewhere, but whatever I can to do help you be confident in your purchase, I’ll try my best to do. *To help cut out scammers, YOU MUST PM ME FIRST! Again for those in the back, YOU MUST PM ME FIRST!* Any questions, just ask me. Thanks!

New Season, new start to the podcast,

I was damaging controlling why the Live Stream feeds were crashing on Facebook and X and I missed a bunch of episodes. Now we are ready to return with the weekly show. We'll have new guests coming up really soon.

Welcome to the Everyday Sniper Podcast, yes the music got overwritten so I wasn't about to play it. I thought I had this sorted out but apparently I missed something. Damn Updates !

In this episode I want to catch you up as to why I missed a few episode over the last month or so. I was actually damage controlling the video for simulcasting to other places. I can send this Sniper's Hide and TheHide.TV easy enough, but the signal was crashing.

In this episode I talk,

Going Live with Training & Firearms

Western Hunter Ultimate Challenge Match

Future Interviews on the way.

Gear reviews, We have the Eotech Vudu 3-9x here along with a host of other products to talk about.

6mm Arc Project !

Thanks for the patience of me getting my shit together. It was a process and I had to follow the process to try and keep things stable. I feel I am stable now, other than potential conflicts with my home internet.

Head over to Hide TV for more videos, articles, contests, etc.

Bipod on shooting mat?

Hello,
I was watching a video on YouTube and there were several prone shooters, shooting 1000 yards, that were using what appeared to be a padded shooting mat and their bipod was setup in the mat. Very new precision shooter here and to me that seemed less stable than using the ground. They looked to cant to me as the bipod wobbled on padding. What is best placement of the bipod when using a padded mat?

Thank you,
Dep

l thingsTrump admin actions?


this could go in the Ukraine thread but it goes to my more gen ? i know it is early in the trump admin,that there are many huge probs he inherited,i know he is getting insane push back from the left. i still have a concern about several things,this being 1. Putin has said no temp cease fires only some final result on acceptable terms to him. that makes sense in context here.
IMHO any aid to Ukraine at all should be stopped now and forever. resuming mil and intel aid seems like a red flag waved at Russia. can't see how this aids a peace deal. we should stop all aid and offer to broker a deal-nothing else.
of course all "aid" should be stopped going everywhere. we are way more than broke. we need funding here,which is a separate discussion. RFK backing off on MMR vaccine is another ? i have.
grabbing a few thousand illegals is under achievement i think. i have lost a lot of confidence in many of his chosen helpers.
it just appears that many campaign commitments to action have gotten sluggish.
is this being unrealistic and hoping to see too much sooner than possible? yea,i know my concerns are of no importance to the rulers.

Accessories [WTS] 5 New Suppressors at a great deal (Open to Offers)

I have 5 new suppressors that want to I move. All are brand new and i will cover shipping. I can easily transfer it to your local SOT dealer so you can finish paper work.

4 Facts that De-bunk the Trump-Russia Narrative

The Dems, Marxists, and Never-Trumpers are on this boat claiming Trump is doing Putin’s bidding. It’s almost hilarious when you consider these brutal harsh facts about Trump’s actual conduct towards Putin and Russia:


1. Trump unleashing of US energy dominance and cheap pricing to fuel the US economy. This wasn’t done to hurt anyone else, just help the US. As a result, it sent the WTI into 1/4th of what it needs to be for Russian GDP growth. This was probably the most damaging thing Trump did in his first 4 years to Russia’s oil/NG-dependent economy.

2. Battle of Khasham, Feb 2018, Syria. Putin sent a Russian Wagner-led armored battle group with 2 armored battalions, artillery support, air support, and engineers to attack a tiny group of US SOF personnel at the Conoco plant near Khasham, which was across the river and well-past Russia’s line of demarcation agreed upon by the US and Russia. Trump WH responded by authorized total gloves-off annihilation of the Russian forces over a 6hr period through the night, resulting in scores of Russian Wagner mercy KIA, and scores of Syrians killed. No US President has ever taken the gloves off of US forces in any potential conflict between Russians and US personnel.

3. Just in case Putin didn’t get the message, Trump signed off on massive foreign military sales to Ukraine that they paid for, including huge shipments of Javelin Anti-Tank Guided Missiles and CLUs, as well as patrol boats and associated weapons. The Javelin ATGMs sent by Trump were crucial in stopping Putin’s armored columns later in 2022. No other US President authorized weapons sales to Ukraine, and in fact, several worked hard to stop European allies from sending weapons even when they wanted to. Example: Obama and David Cameron in Sep., 2014.

4. Trump shut down German involvement with Putin’s Nordtream 2, threatening enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act in 2019. This hurt Russia’s energy industry and helped to prevent Europe from being even further-beholden to Russian oil/NG exports than they already were.


US energy focus, Khasham, Javelins to Ukraine, and Nordstream 2 shut down. All some of the most effective counter-Russian foreign policy moves from a US President in history. It’s weird that no corporate US media covers any of these facts.

Which suppressor? Magnus or Flow 7.62

Hide,

I have a handful of ARs, but looking for which of my two suppressors to put on a .300 Blackout 8.5 inch. I have a TBAC Magnus I run on my bolt guns, and a Huxwrx Flow 7.62 TI that I run on my ARs. However, I have an 8.5 inch AR pistol with a brace/JP captured buffer and adjustable gas block and I’m not sure what to run. It seems the hux may not perform as well with subsonics, so I’m wondering whether I should throw the Magnus on and adjust the gas down.

I could experiment a bit, but figured I’d come to folks with more experience. Rig has a 1x red dot and would just be mostly plinking and some transition drills.

Thanks in advance.

Optics ** SOLD** Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 3-15x44 EBR-2D $500

Gen 2 PST 3-15x44 with the EBR-2D reticle(which was only available for a limited time through certain vendors I believe). Mounted on a 18” AR for midrange work and has been great in that role. Im turning this upper into a designated thermal upper so im looking to recoup some funds. Its in a Warne 20moa mount and would like to sell it together for $500 shipped but will split if I have too. Glass is clean and the only marks on the scope are on the battery cap and elevation turret from using a coin to remove the caps. Feel free to message me for more details.

Optics Revic Acura 5-25x50 and Meopta Optika LR 10x42

Scopes in my safe are stacking up again and, as I go through and publish my reviews, some of them should really find a new home where they actually see some use.

This time around, it is the Revic Acura 5-25x50. As I mentioned previously, I like the scope a lot, but it is in MOA, which is not my cup of tea. Aside from the whole MOA business, it is a very good long range hunting/precision scope leaning a little more toward the MOA side of things.

Looking at the scope carefully, I see a couple of minor scratches that mostly came from bumping into other scope in the safe (I assume). I also see relatively faint ring marks (I tried to take a picture).

$1175 shipped within CONUS.

The next casualty of safe overcrowding is Meopta Optika LR 10x42 LRF binocular.

Optically and mechanically, it is in excellent condition. I see slight discoloration on the rubber eyepiece on one side. Beyond that, I do not see any evidence of me using for a couple of years.

I lost the cover for the threaded hole that is commonly used for tripod adapters, so I have the Vortex Pro binocular adapter stud in there to avoid leaving the threads exposed (this thing https://alnk.to/6IGzVeW).

$675 shipped within CONUS.
