    Lapua 223 brass question

    My 75gr ELDm loaded rounds measured 0.250in and I use a 0.248in bushing. This lot of Lapua is from circa early 2018

    What's your pick for Kestrel Rangefinder pairing - Leica 2800 vs Sig Sauer 2400 BDX

    Based on our PDog hunt this year I'd recommend the Terrapin if you can swing it. BT Connectivity was rock solid and the glass is pretty decent. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/kestrel-5700-elite-kestrel-hud-terrapin-x.7001229/#post-8624693

    Tikka 223 77 smk loads?

    Which manderl did you get? I'm too cheap for carbide, however, I've found the 21st Century Black Nitride ones to be be super slick. http://www.xxicsi.com/arbors-and-mandrels.html

    Tikka 223 77 smk loads?

    Overall a pretty good selection of components. Looking at your data and group photo 23.5gr would be my load choice going forward. Another seating depth to potentially explore might be slightly under typical AR mag length around 2.248in. Although your groups look quite good already. As for...

    Swaro SLC 15x56 competitor

    I went down a similar road earlier this year debating between Meopta or Swaro. I had decided on the Meopta 12x50's as a compromise between 15x and 10x and I could afford them. I ordered the 12x50's but at that time there were not any available due to COVID. After talking with Doug I decided...

    223 Build load development

    I'm just received my second .223Rem Criterion Remage from James last week. It's a 1 in 8" Wylde chambered barrel. For it's predecessor I had found multiple loads that worked. Looks like you want to shoot heavies. I see 8208XBR in your inventory, do you have any Lapua or LC brass and 77gr...

    Bino’s for range and hunting

    15x is too much without a tripod, 12x may also be too much for handheld, but 10x is usually quite solid handheld. If there is any chance you can save up and increase that budget to ~$1600 you could snag a pair of Swaro SLC 10x42's. I ended up there after looking VERY hard at the Meopta 12x50's...

    Arcteryx Beta AR jacket

    Are you sure? I'm not seeing anything on their website about US sales only. Even though, I'm sure there is also a Canadian distributor for LEAF. Where there is a will there's a way...

    Arcteryx Beta AR jacket

    The Law Enforcement Armed Forces line from Arc'teryx is where you want to spend your money. The place I have found to buy LEAF items is from US Elite Gear as they are the biggest US distributor and routinely have older models on closeout in addition to running entire line sales in Nov/Dec and...

    Throwing together a R700.

    Also grab a headspace gauge and the barrel nut wrench. If you don't have something solid like a vise to hold the action you should look at NSS action wrench as well for $60. http://northlandshooterssupply.com/tools/nss-tools/

    Binoculars / Cell phone filming

    I have a phoneskope case for my iPhone and their adapter for my Swaro 10x42 binos. So far not too bad, but I still have room for improvement.

    Suppressors Dead air sandman L accuracy issue

    Good info. I'd follow up and check everything with an alignment rod at this point. The Sandman-L is a longish can and between the barrel, muzzle break, Keymo mount in the Sandman something may be slightly askew and you're possibly getting more of a kiss/glance rather than a full on strike. I...

    Suppressors Dead air sandman L accuracy issue

    Going to need some additional info: Factory threaded barrel or local gunsmith. You will need to verify that the threads are concentric to the bore. Did you remove the bolt and look down the barrel before shooting to visually inspect alignment by chance? Which Keymo mount are you using, Dead...

    Remage prefit barrel question

    The hardest part of this project is going to be pulling the original Remington barrel. Your stock may need to have a slight amount removed for the barrel nut. I would absolutely recommend getting the NSS barrel nut and recoil lug as well. I've use them on both of my Remage builds and they are...

    Scope mount for semi-precision AR10

    I have a 34mm Badger 20MOA cant unimount that I also ordered the 30mm ring inserts for. I picked up through GAP almost 10years ago and it has been rock solid and bomb proof. https://www.badgerordnance.com/unimounts.html If you want to do a RDS off the scope look at their Condition One...

    Throwing together a R700.

    For what it's worth I've built two Remage rifles off of bone stock Rem700 actions using Criterion barrels with NSS barrel nuts and recoil lugs, then throwing the barreled actions into a KRG Bravo chassis. Both rifles have been sub MOA. I'll likely do a third one the same exact way without...

    6.5 4s neck clearance

    What Starline brass are you running? I use their brass for .223Rem and .308Win, but don't see a SAUM case listed on their site?

    How much is the “Popular Vote” skewed by non-voters?

    If you want to do a deeper dive into the 2016 results down to the county level here is a great tool: https://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/ HilidaBeast only won the popular vote by ~1.3 million votes. Looking at this data there are around 152 million registered voters...
