    Has anyone here quit or "quit" tobacco?

    Quit drinking 2 1/2 months ago. Quit dipping (actually Zyn pouches) yesterday. Next month I unfuck my diet. Month after that it's back to the gym. I'm running out of vices, but I still smoke a cigar every other night. I'd have stayed on the Zyn, but $50 a week was pissing me off.

    Weird Accuracy Issues with AR Build

    My Valk had a Bartlein barrel from Craddock. He was deeply involved in trying to figure it out. Never did. He made me a Bartlien for my 6 ARC, and it's the most accurate AR I've ever owned. Love that guy.

    Weird Accuracy Issues with AR Build

    Hmpf. It's odd that the bolt was the problem. If you ever figure out how it was affecting accuracy/POI, let us know. I had a Valk that I chased for a couple years. Never did figure it out. Rebarreled to 6ARC (everything else the same) and it's perfect.

    6 ARC powder consensus for heavies in AR

    I suck at reading brass for pressure signs. I'm running Lever with 108's. I've settled on 24.1g as definitely safe. I'm guessing too safe. Accuracy is superb, but it's slow out of my 22" Bartlein at 2460fps. What charge weights are you guys running with Lever and heavies?

    Rifle Scopes Keep or Ditch- Steiner T5XI

    I have three of the T5's as well as several NF's, Schmidts, Minox, Vortex etc. I've never missed a shot due to the Steiners, but I do enjoy looking through the better glass more. If I were going to upgrade, I take the earlier poster's advice and look for a used NF.

    Former endeavors that used to give joy and are fleeting now...

    I was a hobbiest woodworker for years. Just passionate about it. Went pro in 2001. The business has grown hugely since then, and I'm now sick to death of sawdust. My poor wife has to beg me to build something now. Fly fishing was a passion about that same time. There was one year that I...

    Help me Configure a JP SCI-20.

    Brake or can? I have a JP 20" running their tank brake and a 14.5" (with pinned Thunderbeast flash hider) that I run with a 5" can. Neither is as handy as a true 16" on a Vtac wall, but both are acceptable. I like suppressors, and everyone else at matches hates the tank brake. I like and...

    LPVO + Dot question

    I run RMR's at 12:00 on top of a NF NX8 and a Vortex 1-10. Love it, love it, love it. I personally didn't care for the angled mounts. They sit up way high so I have a chance of seeing them through my PVS-14. I did some "up" drills comparing the LPVO's vs the red dots, and the dots were...

    How old is “old enough” for kids to shoot Real Rifles

    My son is 11. He started 2-3 years ago. He's now shooting .22 matches with me and regularly beats a handful of grown men. I paid him the ultimate compliment a couple of matches ago and asked him for a wind call. He was right on. I started him on a Savage Cricket with a red dot so all he had...

    Aww, where'd he go? I'm dying for another dose of his snipery wisdom.

    Super cool. I love my 40X and have always wanted an Anschutz. Shoot those bad boys!

    40x chassis

    Both will be fine. Pick whichever one fits you better. Mine lived in an AICS for years before I moved it to something lighter for my son.

    Brake or no brake on 10.5" 6mm arc?

    Oofa. That's going to suck for you and everyone around you. I built an 11.5" in .223. Tried to get a zero on a rainy day at the indoor range. Quit after 2 rounds.

    Cartridges that work well super AND subsonic

    I've been contemplating the same thing. Haven't done anything yet, but in casual conversation with my circle of nerds I'm going to give good old .308 a look.

    anyone out there doing tenkara style fly fishing?

    Don’t know why I’d limit myself to a glorified cane pole. Perhaps in very small water it would be ok, but I don’t see the point. I hooked a 14” cut bow in a stream I could step over several years ago. It was a shockingly big fish for such a narrow run. I suppose I could have horsed it in with no...

    New build caliber? : 22-250Ackley or 223 Ackley

    Just built my first .223AI. I just love the way it shoots. I'm parroting internet lore now, so I may be full of crap. My impression, and one of the main reasons I chose .223AI is barrel life. My friends who shoot them are reporting barrel life comparable to regular .223 i.e., 3k-4k rounds...
