    Elftmann Savage Trigger

    As mentioned, it is smoother and less to no more creep. I also don’t hear springs creaking as I was engaging the trigger like how it was the accutrigger. No slam fires or hang up at 1 lbs 7 oz.

    Elftmann Savage Trigger

    Update: I sent the trigger back to Elf and got a call about a week later from the owner. He said the plunger was rough and needed a good polish. He also put a new spring in that allowed it to safely be adjusted below 1 lbs. I couldn’t get mine to go below 2.5 lbs, but wanted it set around...

    Elftmann Savage Trigger

    I was reminded about this trigger from this thread and decided to try one. Bought it online from Primal Arms and got it today. Easy to install, but getting it to break at under 2.5 lbs without the set screw falling out is impossible. I cleaned the spring and gave it a light soak in lighter...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    So many words, so few points that actually contribute to a meaningful discussion of the results. At this point you and a few others have hashed to death the topic of who trusts Form, who trusts Ilya, who shows their face, who doesn’t, whose a shill…..fuck off already with these frivolous...

    Recorder for Spotter

    I have no issues with my Swaro ATS 65mm, iPhone, and Novagrade double gripper. Screen shot of a video I was recording a few weeks ago. This is at 800 yds. There was a decent mirage when you watch the video, which is why the snapshot below is a little blurry. I guess there a million ways to do...

    Red spotlight for coyote hunting recommendations

    Caveat, yes I know a dedicated $8k thermal scope is the way to go for serious night hunting, but I’m a very occasional night hunter and not in the market to go full send on a dedicated night hunting set up for 6 or so night hunts a year. Plus my buddy that I coyote hunt with has a NV on his AR...

    Swarovski STR-80 Cover

    Creedmoor sports used to make a cover per your specs. I had one made for a Leica spotter several years ago and it was great, bonus points that it didn’t break the bank. Not sure if they still do, but worth a look.

    Nosler New Suppressors

    Just using my 1st and 2nd amendments rights brother! It’s what makes America not like China! For the record I have zero affiliation with Nosler. I have a TBAC in jail and usually use Hornady bullets, even though I have the opportunity to purchase Nosler at a discount. Full disclosure. All the...

    Nosler New Suppressors

    We totally get how looks play a factor in the gun world. Kind of like how when I look at any of the Arken offerings and think, man, those look like fucked up cheap Chinese garbage bullshit.

    The LRHS 3-12x44 Ahead of the Market.

    Just chiming in to also grieve the loss of the LRTS. I have the 4.5-18 and it’s on my main hunting rifle. I do prefer having 18x over 12x, but I wouldn’t be overly upset if they just brought the 3-12 back. Overall both model LRTS’ fit my needs perfectly as a hunting scope. Agree with others...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    Oh I knew it wasn’t going to be well received and likely get few, if any, meaningful responses. Based on some of the responses in this thread, it’s very apparent why Frank decided to quit posting the results of his scope tests. I get that dropping a scope that’s attached to a rifle adds multiple...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    Getting back on topic regarding drop tests, I took my hunting rifle to the range over the weekend. Shot a 3 round group at 100, then decided to drop test it a total of 4 times, two on the left side and two on the right side and test it at 100 yds again. Note: I completely dissembled the rifle a...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    Look at it this way, at the end of the day every damn review of a scope on this site or any other site is one sample from some keyboard warrior with or without ulterior motives. I don’t give a shit who you are but when it comes to spending $1500 on a scope it’s your money so buy what speaks to...

    Vortex lht 4.5-22 durability test

    I will chime with this, I actually spoke with Form a few years ago over the phone. This was about 5 years ago when I was first getting into shooting longer ranges and trying to learn Mils, dialing, PRS games, etc. He was gracious enough to spend a solid 2-3 hrs on the phone with me and talked me...

    Soon - Elite Tactical 3

    What happened to cause you to send it in for warranty? I bought one of the first batches back in August when they first came out. Haven’t had a chance to use it much, but the few times I have it seemed to be a solid scope. I replaced a 5-20 HD SWFA with the DMR3 after having good luck with a few...

    Anyone ever go the Form 1 suppressor route?

    I tried checking out the form1 page but it’s not working on my phone. I’ll grab my pc and try and register. Thanks for the tips in this thread. Very helpful. Going to be researching a lightweight 6.5 and 30 cal can. I should have a TBAC U7 Gen 1 out of jail around Feb 2022, but I have access to...

    Hunting bipod recommendations

    Currently running a Harris, but in the market for a solid bipod mainly for hunting. Lightweight is a preference since I hike a lot while hunting. I was thinking of just running a tripod, but I would guess I bring my tripod/Spotter on about 50% of my hunts. I keep eyeing the Spartan bipods like...

    Best powders for 300 WSM?

    Hate to say it, but I would stick to 200-215 projectiles in the 300 WSM. I just feel like velocity starts to nose dive beyond those weights and you won’t really gain much benefit going that heavy. BC and KE is negated when velocity drops that much. You want to shoot 220-240 gr bullets, move to a...

    New from Hawaii

    They were introduced a long time ago. There were no native game mammals on the islands until European introductions. Mostly feral hogs, mouflon sheep, feral goats, axis deer, Blacktail deer on Kauai, and maybe some fallow deer, but the fallows may have been wiped out at this point.

    New from Hawaii

    Kokohead was the only public range I recall on Oahu, and it was pretty basic. Think it was at most a 300 yd range, but memory is fuzzy. HI gun laws some of the most restrictive in the US, and during my time there I focused more on archery hunting and spearfishing. Left most of my guns at my...
