New Member from CO

Hey guys! I became a member about 6 months ago but life got busy and haven't been on since but figured since I am finally back around to it I would introduce myself. I've been shooting almost my entire life and recently have been trying to get more and more into ,long range and prs shooting, maybe looking into checking some local comps out in the future. I am mostly here to look through the classifieds and just learn more about everything and improve my shooting as a whole.

Nice to meet you all!

New member from CO

Hey everyone,

Just joined the Hide and wanted to introduce myself. I’m new to the forum, but I’ve been interested in precision and long-range shooting. I’m here to learn from the experienced shooters in this community, everything from rifle setup and ballistics to wind reading and real world shooting tips. I’m also looking forward to checking out the classifieds section to see what gear is out there and maybe snag a few good deals along the way. Appreciate the chance to be here, and I’m looking forward to contributing where I can and soaking up as much knowledge as possible. Thanks!

State Forums?

Sure, there is a "New Member Introduction" forum and a few post where they live, but why no "Shooters by State" forum with 50 sub-forums, one for all 50 states (or 57 for the Obama supporters)?

I'm sure this has been asked ad nauseam, but couldn't find anything during a search, so thought I would ask.

You have some ' Member Meet Up' flair, but would be nice to have a place where shooters in the same state could discuss ranges, competitions, find spotters/partners in crime (no homo), carpool to matches 2 states away, where the dive bars with hot chicks are, etc, etc.

223 Wylde vs 223 Rem Match chamber?

Never had any problems with 50 gr vmax to 88 gr elds in the two 223 Wylde 1:7 rifles I've owned. A bit over 1/2 moa and accurate out past 1100 yards. Thinking about a new SA build and am trying to decide. I'm told the main difference is the amount of freebore; the 223 Wylde has 0.0621 and the 223 Rem Match has 0.090. Not sure if the 223 rem match would shoot 75 gr Hndy OTM well (which I have a fair supply of). Planning on a 24" bull with a 1:7 twist.
Thoughts?

Precision Rifle Gear Budget Tripod review.

I wanted to do a quick review on a budget tripod option I’ve been playing with. I picked up this Fanue ST65 tripod for around $250 on Amazon. Of course it’s made in China. Then again so is the device you’re likely reading this on. Along with half the items in your home. This company at least, seems to actually care about the products they are making and doing it with an eye towards the use case and with the end user in mind unlike many of the cheaper options. We are seeing this more and more from some of the manufacturers out of China. There are a few other versions of this one available as well.
This model weighs about 5lbs, has 31.75mm carbon main tubes and will handle 44lbs. The arca head is sturdy. It doesn’t blink at my 20lb rifle. I did add a touch of grease to the arca screw lock as it was dry. Throw lever on the ball is large and easy to manipulate when the rifle is mounted. Build quality seems extremely good for the price and so far has done everything I’ve asked of it. Granted I don’t shoot PRS on a regular basis and, while I can afford it, I can’t justify dumping a small fortune into a RRS or similar tripod. Most “armchair operators” like me will have a hard time justifying $1000 for a tripod. I’ve messed around with friends high end gear and this bargain of a tool gets most of the job done at a fraction of the price. Would I take it “to war”? Not likely. Will it last as long as a RRS? Not likely. But again, it’s a matter of use case. The only battle this will ever see is getting knocked around at my shooting club or the occasional local match. I believe in buy once, cry once. But even that has its limits for those of us with mortgages and kids in school. Sometimes you just need a piece of gear that gets the job done at a decent price.
A month in and so far I can’t find a fault. I’m sure if it has one it will turn out to be the twist lock mechanisms on the leg extensions. I’d assume at this price they’ll be plastic. But so far they lock positively and do not slip. The head is well machined. The anodizing is well done. And the locking lever for the ball head is simple and strong. So far. Time will tell how it holds up as a shooting platform but for now it’s sturdy, wobble free, and locks up tight as a drum. As an optics platform it feels like a fantastic option. If it craps the bed, I’ll follow up.

Mdt precision bottom metal fitment question

Seeing if anyone can confirm an issue I am having with a mdt precision bottom metal I am using for a build.

I bought a manners pro hunter with m5 mini chassis. I received this mdt bottom metal and tried to mount the action. The bottom metal doesn’t fully contact the manners mini chassis. The bottom metal “lip” is contacting the bottom of the stock (circled in red).

I sent both the bottom metal and stock to
Manners and they had it for a cpl weeks trying to determine if they could make it work. They even contacted mdt. In the end I decided to have them ship it back and ordered Hawkins bottom metal.

Does anyone have mdt bottom metal they can confirm has this same lip? I sent the photos to mdt and they said it’s normal, but it doesn’t look right. It has a weird step up that doesn’t flow from front to back. Any photos to compare would be great! I have seen others use this same combo which is making me question the one I have.

Suppressors Abel Theorem S (braked) vs TBAC Magnus RR-K vs Maverick (short)

Ok, I finally got to go shoot these things side by side more thoroughly.

Let me preface that all these cans are bought with my money. I have no connection to either 3 companies. I'm a can whore and I like to collect them all.

First: They are all great cans! You honestly would be hard pressed to go wrong purchasing any of these products. Obviously the Abel is newer and the Maverick is older. I anticipate as many more shooters shoot braked suppressors, the industry will respond with better performing products in the years to come. I am looking forward to it.

I have ran the Maverick for many PRS seasons (4-5?) and consider it a gold standard for braked support performance in the current LR shooting sports. No, it does not make things quiet. But it does make things manageable and pleasant to the shooter. Getting blasted by a brake for 2 days sucks.

I enjoy the Magnus. However, I find it way more effective on larger caliber (aka magnum) rounds than 6 mm, 25, 6.5, etc... It just does not do it for me in terms of reading a target after the shot. Is it impossible? No. Is it shooter error? Maybe. I am pretty comfortable behind a rifle. With that said, I'm sure there are BETTER shooters out there that are evaluating the very same thing.

Last, the Abel. I honestly wasn't going into it thinking I was going to be impressed. In my head, I thought "oh, another TBAC-like can." I was wrong. The Theorem S-braked is stellar! Like, it works...

I shot a 13 lbs rifle in 6.5 (my PRS Sportsman setup) and the braked performance AND suppression were quite pleasant. I wanted to shoot a lighter rifle as I know shooting my standard Open configuration (22 lbs) wouldn't really show the performance/weakness to me. Having shot the Maverick for so long, the braked Theorem S really surprised me. I will continue to use this through the remainder of the matches this season and, potentially, into the PRS Finale.

All shots were either in modified prone or off a standing barricade with no rear support (tripod).

Take it for what it's worth, this was just an in-my-pants-feeling review. ;-)

Suppressor Problem, Dead Air - Advice requested

I bought a Dead Air nomad TI XC to put on a new Seekins Precision Havak in 6.8 Western. Before getting through a box of ammo, the bolt lift on an expected round became impossibly heavy. I went back-and-forth with Seekins on this, including sending the rifle back to them twice. One thing that was noticed, was a heavy carbon ring inside the chamber. But I was hesitant to believe that this brand new suppressor was the problem, but ultimately stuck my AB Raptor find the rifle and the problem disappeared.

Then today, I mounted the Dead Air on my Tikka TX3 in .308 Winchester and the exact same problem occurred, even though the 308 obviously has far less pressure. I have shot the Tikka they ton, always suppressed, and used the same ammo today that I've always used.

I can't come up with any other explanation than it is the fault of the suppressor. Somehow it must be causing too much back pressure and pushing back into the chamber.

Does anyone else have any other thoughts on what it could be and why?
I spoke with Dead Air today and their initial response was that this was not something they are seeing.
