    Movie Theater Sony 65” OLED vs Lg 75” QNED?

    The views are awesome! This is the small town of John Day Oregon. Have to drive 3hrs to the nearest Costco, Walmart, etc. But amazing place for those who don’t like bigger towns. Not to mention you can get a 3600 sq ft house with these views for half of what a 2000 sq ft home would cost in most...

    Movie Theater Sony 65” OLED vs Lg 75” QNED?

    Outer edge of the blue tape is the 65” rectangle and the other two would be the 75”. Kind of leaning QNED for the supposed brighter screen and ability to handle ambient light, but I’m still on the fence. Both are more than enough size to work. Especially since we’re more of a casual tv watching...

    Movie Theater Sony 65” OLED vs Lg 75” QNED?

    Hey Gang, Family of 4 and we are in the market for a second tv. This new one will be used as the main tv upstairs and the current one will go downstairs for the kiddos. We aren’t gamers, and we don’t spend a ton of time watching tv. Mostly stream shows and movies, and some sports. Budget is in...

    Magneto sporter mount mk vs wiser

    I haven’t used it a ton but I do like the MK system. I’ll say this though, it didn’t register shots with the sporter bayonet. I had to cut about a 1/2” off the plastic of the bayonet for it to work with the mount and a can. Not an issue with a V3 bayonet. Also, when I mount it to the rear of my...

    300WSM Load

    With a 22” barrel using H4831sc I’m getting 2820 fps with 212 eld-x. That’s with a can. It was 2780 without the can. You should be able to get in the 2800 fps range using 200’s and a 20” barrel. I wanted to test some other powders but it’s shooting so well and other powders are hard to come by...

    RRS Anvil 30 for glassing and shooting?

    Geez, almost the price of the head, and essentially doubles the weight of the set up. I’ll have to see how much I dislike the pan feature with just the head before I spring for that adapter.

    RRS Anvil 30 for glassing and shooting?

    I can’t seem to find any specific “panning” adapter. There’s the TFCT adapters, but I think those are for RRS specific tripods. Can’t seem to find anything specific to a panning feature, can you elaborate? Seems as though it’s not perfect for glassing, but I’ll have to live with that. I glass...

    RRS Anvil 30 for glassing and shooting?

    The Sirui head is really meant for glassing with optics mounted on an Arca plate. You slide in the plates from the ends. They didn’t make it wide enough to just set an arca rail or plate on top and lock. It was always designed as a slide through. Not a big deal when swapping binos/spotter...

    RRS Anvil 30 for glassing and shooting?

    Some background: I’m largely a hunter but I do some local matches and just generally like to shoot at the range when I’m not hunting. I’m currently running a Promaster xc 525c tripod with a Sirui VA-5 fluid head. To be honest, it was great for just glassing, but it’s terrible as a...

    Suppressors First suppressor. Getting hard/sticky bolt lift

    Pics of swipe marks on the tight cases. Can’t feel it with a fingernail, but it’s a slight polish on the brass.

    Suppressors First suppressor. Getting hard/sticky bolt lift

    Well, had some time to test some 65 gr loads, so .5 gr below what I was shooting. Still shooting amazing, but continued to have slight sticky bolt lift. Also shot some 65.5 gr loads and many cases had no sticky lift. Weird. It happens maybe 30% of the time. I also cleaned the chamber/throat area...

    Suppressors First suppressor. Getting hard/sticky bolt lift

    So the vast majority of these issues you’ve seen are caused from carbon build up in the chamber/throat area? In theory I shouldn’t have sticky bolt lift using the same loads that shoot fine with no can vs with? I haven’t cleaned this rifle in a while, so I’ll give that a shot! I will say that...

    Suppressors First suppressor. Getting hard/sticky bolt lift

    When I did the seating depth tests for the 65.5 gr load unsuppressed, I found it was best at 0.09 off. So that’s not anywhere near the lands to give me cause for concern it’s higher pressure from that. I can’t recall if this batch of reloads used a fresh can of powder from a different lot. But I...

    Suppressors First suppressor. Getting hard/sticky bolt lift

    Older thread but I just experienced the same symptoms. Shooting a 300 wsm, 212 eld x, Norma 2x fired brass, and 65.5 gr of H4831sc. Tikka action with a 22” benchmark barrel. I just got my TBAC U7 about a month ago and prior to the can it was moving 2780 fps. Now I’m getting 2820 and in my case...

    Suppressors Suppressor cover for limiting mirage

    I have an Armageddon gear cover for my U7. It works, but it does tend to slip down a little. I think the PU one is likely a very good one and I’ll probably order one down the road. I have a rear bag from PU that is awesome and I’ll probably order another larger rear bag when I pull the trigger...

    Portable hand saw

    My silky gomboy was awesome for cutting trails in the alders hunting Alaska. Pretty impressive speed cutting. Also use it to get firewood for my tipi tent titanium stove set up. I’m a fan.

    Magneto sporter mount mk vs wiser

    Well, I didn’t wait long and decided to buy yours anyway so once it gets here I should be set. I do always appreciate USA made products and small business’, so thank you.

    Magneto sporter mount mk vs wiser

    Finally got my Gen 1 TBAC U7 in hand after a 13 month wait. Went to the range today and my 6.5 and 300 wsm wouldn’t read anything with my MS sporter. No surprise, so I’m stuck buying a new bayonet for $175 or buying a mounting system at a similar price point. Since both rifles are in XLR...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Generally how long does it take for the stamp to get to the LGS? I just found out my first F4 was approved the 15th. Exactly a year and 3 days after my check was cashed in 2021. The LGS hasn’t seen it yet and I’m itching to get it.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Bought a demo Gen 1 TBAC U7 last year around this time. Just an individual one, no trust. Check wasn’t cashed until July 12, 2021 by the atf. I was really hoping to have it in hand by my bday in June, but seems as though it’s crept back to 12-13 mos. I’ll update when approved. I’m at the 10 mos...
