    Craddock RTR

    Well, my range trip was forced short and practical due to work and upcoming hog hunt - BUT - the 13.9" Craddock Pangris barrels ran 100% and accuracy looks very promising - one rifle had a 3.5X ACOG and the other a thermal scope so nothing worth photographing or writing home about quite yet...

    Considering a 13.9” upper to go with my 18” 6.5 Grendel.. thoughts?

    For better or worse, to some degree I am, but one more is as far as I'll let it go. I'm guessing there are other 2.1"+ options, I haven't researched them as of yet

    Considering a 13.9” upper to go with my 18” 6.5 Grendel.. thoughts?

    I'm considering HUB'ing a Thunderbeast Ultra 5 or Dominus K to a Keymo QD... my last conversation with them led me to believe there was space in the can to allow it

    I have 12.5" and 20" because I can. My sons have 13.9" only, P&W to 16+ with a mount. The 20" is easier to hit with past 600 - but - on pigs from 0-200 it doesn't matter much other than we use 100 gr ELDX in the 12.5 & 13.9, and I use 123 SST in the 20". I dunno if you could HUB adapt to use...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    Truth be told, I barely use the apps. I am really looking forward to putting the Athlon side by side.

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    If I'd known the factory clip was a pack of lies - and known that there was going to be a stash of the Gen 1's released that still carried full factory warranty - I would have gone that direction. I believe I'm going to be able to get my hands on the new Athlon Cronus CL35 for some T&E, which...

    Yep. Imagine making the Gen 2 as good or better in every way but 1...

    Craddock RTR

    I have 4 RTR barrels that have landed - two 18" .750" Grendels and and two 13.9" skinny .625" Grendel Pangris barrels - I will have some range reports soon.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    I regret to say I concur the 300 BLK only beats the Grendel in reliability. Under 100 yards, the 300 BLK is o-tay but if I could go back in time and talk to myself, I'd say DON'T DO IT unless you're doing apartment building style CQB.

    Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt - Updated 9/30 with third hunt

    So, have been using this Steiner for several more trips. 1) The resolution in front of a VX-6 or Vortex Razor continues to impress. I'm using this with a son or friend next to a NOX 35 and purely considering detection/resolution - its a coin toss. 2) I'm still mad* at Steiner for lying to me...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Clean it, give it a hundred rounds or so to speed up, try another chrono. I'm super happy with the grendel between 12.5 - 20" If I could only have one it would be 14-18".... I think a Grendel, a solid optic, a tripod and this...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    I bet the Trijicon 1-8 Credo would be a great fit as well, or a 2-10/2-12 would probably improve eyebox with a RMR somewhere if 1X matters on that one. Any of that ammo you've been testing coming to market anytime soon?

    When clipping onto a rail, we don't see more than 1 MOA of shift and typically less than that.
