    My Experience W/ Patriot Valley Arms

    ^^^^This.... PVA has always been a good vendor and I suspect that if you had been patient and asked nicely you would have gotten a much different reaction. I think any reasonable person could understand how you could have been confused, but their website doesn't say it comes with the ballhead...

    Precision Rifle Gear Tripod: Field Optics VS RRS

    I don't put a whole lot of stock in weight ratings when comparing company A to company B... I don't think there is an industry testing standard. each company seems to be a little different... generally speaking it seems leg diameter and the ball head size generally plays the biggest part I...

    Hunting & Fishing 30-06 Hunting Build

    I have a Tikka 30-06 that shoots just sub-moa with Hornady ELD-X factory loads... been happy with it so far... hard to ask for more from a factory gun.

    Precision Rifle Gear How can I upgrade this Manfrotto Tripod?

    Maybe Contact Manfrotto and ask if they have an apex/base that will fit those legs, but that doesn't have a center column? Or maybe just cut that thing down? Manfrotto doesn't strike me as the type of company that will have a solution for those legs... but I could be wrong. I know you said you...

    Proof Research Barrel/ Action Question

    Pretty much every aftermarket action is based on the "Rem 700 platform"... do you have to use an actual Remington 700 Action, or can you use any brand based on that platform? That's a big difference. If you can use any Rem 700 Platform Action, I would purchase a Proof Pre-fit barrel (They make...

    Can someone smarter than me with vaccines come on in and debunk my random theory

    OP, I’m going to take a crack at addressing some of the questions you raised in your first response… but I’m only going to engage in respectful discourse. People are way too emotional on both sides of this debate, I’m just trying to give you an opposing viewpoint. I’m not going to try to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Trigger

    I use a factory Glock "-" connector and just the trigger & trigger bar kit for Gen 5 glocks. For Gen 3/4 Glocks, i use the "Action Enhancement Kit" for Gen 3/4. That one includes the nicer safety plunger... that you don't need on Gen 5 blocks b/c Glock updated their design.

    New Action Questions

    really happy with Zermatt / Bighorn actions, especially if you want to do pre-fits. Barrels are easy to find, actions are great, hard to go wrong

    Rifle Scopes **Updated** Lightweight hunting scope

    This is the scope I went with... haven't hunted with it yet, but did get a chance to mount and zero... so far it is exceeding expectations.

    Rifle Scopes The Vortex blues.

    Back on OP's subject. I think it's pretty much universally agreed that the Razors are higher quality and more reliable... it's also why they are more expensive. Same with NF, etc... all more expensive than Vortex's lower end stuff. There are a lot of posts about people sending Vipers and such...

    Rifle suggestions

    6.5CM - No question. 6.5PRC is expensive, has more recoil, and components to reload are much harder to get right now. If you can, I would skip the entire production rifle thing. If you get into this, you will quickly want to upgrade. You'll save money in the long haul just getting what you...

    Best host for Rugged Obsidian 9?

    No experience with the APX. I can verify that a Glock 19 Gen 5 + Obsidian 9 works great.

    HOA Help

    1.) She probably has no standing to sue to begin with... so getting lawyers involved isn't going to help. Will just cost her money 2.) It all depends on the by-laws... but the HOA can probably do what they want. It doesn't matter if they have been cutting it... all that matters is what they are...
