    Need opinions on RRS 22iC Compact - Now a what RRS tripod thread

    I’m still getting used to the anvil as well. I do like that it is easier to loosen than the traditional video bowel. It annoys me to have to break my hold on the tripod to reach under the platform and adjust the vertical piece giving tension to the bowel to keep it in place. I think the trick...

    Need opinions on RRS 22iC Compact - Now a what RRS tripod thread

    My other hobby is photography so I have a goofy amount of tripods. 5 at last count, 3x RRS and 2x Leofoto. One of the Leofoto is their rip off of the 22i. I set up 2 of the RRS with the ANVIL head. One TFC-33 and one TVC-33. The TVC is setup so I can change out the apex that holds the ANVIL...

    Precision Rifle Gear Tango Innovations FIRE4000 WMLRF Initial Impressions

    I’m really looking forward to this. I missed the pre-order by about a week sadly. Signed up for the back in stock notifications and still check the page every day. Thank you for the review, I want one even more now.

    Tripod Suggestions

    My exact history as well. If an RRS is good for my 5k Nikon body and a 10k lens, then it’s perfect for a precision rifle and high end optic.

    Scope height mythe

    I used ultra-low rings on bolt guns for years. Was always told the same crap. Then got into the AR world and watch the sight height progress on those. I have some 1.93 mounts up to the unity tactical 2.26 for using with NODs. There has been zero change in accuracy on the rifles that I've...

    Shot Show 2025 Rumours

    I think the original intent was to be able to use the Kestrel without a phone, either so you don't carry both or when there is no service. I totally agree that the cost of the kestrel is insane in this day and age with the technology that is out there now. They haven't really given us anything...

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    If either company can work with AB to get this data automatically sent to AB Quantum it would be fantastic.

    Nightforce | Shot Show 2025

    Never understood the people that said NF glass quality was subpar. As someone else said earlier, the top tier scopes are all going to be great. Pick your poison and go for it. I will also agree the rotating ocular is annoying on the ATACR line.

    ARCA rail question

    I would just find a used Harris and add the ARCA mount from RRS or Area419 and be done with it. Better than a UTG but not as good as some others that will be far more expensive.

    nvm

    Nothing to see here. Just the shooting community being its closed minded self. You didn't want to grow the sport anyway. Far be it for someone to ask for help.

    Weapons mounted LRF W/ballistics

    If the Vortex used AB I would already have one. Everything else I use is in the AB ecosystem. Why I'm hopeful specifically for the Tango Fire. If you aren't using AB already, the Vortex should be fairly good for you. I've read some negatives about them but overall they seem like a good product.

    Rifle Scopes DNT 7-35x56 FFP Riflescopes

    For the price point, the DNT is pretty damn nice. It's not going to be comparable to a 2k+ optic, but for 600 bucks? I like it well enough on a .22

    Weapons mounted LRF W/ballistics

    Where are you seeing the Mars-Mc for just a little more than the Impact 4000? The vortex is like 2k, the Mc is pushing 7k. I'm personally waiting on the Tango Fire 4000 and the, probably vaporware, Magpul before I pull the trigger on a WMLRF.

    Thread Protectors or affordable muzzle device recommendation?

    Every rifle or pistol I own with a threaded barrel either has a thread protector or muzzle device/suppressor mount installed.

    Vectronix Customer Support

    Philip reached out to me in response to the email I sent to the [email protected] address that Area 419 gave me. I was able to fix my binoculars after talking with him. My particular issue was the left eye cup was at an odd angle, not flat like the right eye cup. Spinning it did not...

    AB Quantum Update 3.2! WEZ + Kestrels + CDF!

    Just got the update on my iPhone and it found the Kestrel with no problem. Not only that, it pushed my rifle profiles TO the Kestrel. Thank you AB for keeping me from having to re-create everything with Kestrel LINK! WEZ looks fascinating. Cannot wait to get out to the range to get some real...

    AB Quantum Update 3.2! WEZ + Kestrels + CDF!

    My app hasn't been updated yet on an iPhone 16 Pro Max or iPad mini. Until the update gets pushed out, I wouldn't expect it to see the Kestrel. I'm expecting/hoping that all of the 5700 series will work.
