    Which .30 cal have best ballistic?

    I'd assume right now the best combo you'd get for a commercially available .30 cal would be .300NM, 1:8 twist with either the 198 Flatline, or the 230 SMK... depending how much you want to spend per bullet. For "wild-cat" loads (not a true wild-cat as it's a CIP spec'ed cartridge, just not...

    AXMC Mag pouch?

    Some of you might recall me inquiring on AI AE MkI mag pouches recently... I ended up improvising and using grenade pouches to hold two mags each; worked fairly well. Now I'm on the hunt for pouches that will work with the AXMC, .300 and .338 mags. These are pretty large mags compared to...

    Rifle Scopes Is it broke?

    Right off the vortex page for that scope- parallax only dials down to 50 yards. So no, it is not broken. That is the designed near limit. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-viper-hs-t-4-16x44-riflescope-with-vmr-1-moa-reticle Scroll down to "Parallax setting- 50y to infinity"

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 4.5-30x50 XRSII

    That's not always true. Around Christmas I picked up a DMRii for a fair bit less than it would have been purchased direct with mil-discount. But that was during an additional sale period. It seems to be about on par with standard expericity pricing.

    3M Peltor TEP-100 Rechargeables Vs. Etymotic GSP (EB)-15

    Just emailed Otto about mil discount on their version! Hopefully its worth while1

    Suppressors .224 Valkyrie Suppressor- Issues?

    .223 rem and .224 Valkyrie literally shoot the exact same bullets (assuming proper twist). You're gtg.

    Dont update Kestrel 5700 to firmware 1.17!!!!

    I’m also on build 121 now- the build that fixed my issue. I’d still suggest updating the app. Even if it doesn’t solve the problem, there was clearly some kind of glitch in the older app- who knows what could activate it, then you’re frustrated with two problems.

    VECTRONIX IS BACK in the US!

    EuroOptics are great people. And for individuals like yourself, who, after being informed of the pit-falls, still desire to buy the product, I'm glad Euro is there to assist. Personally, I doubt that I'd carry Vectronix products myself if I owned a store... Because their shit customer service...

    Dont update Kestrel 5700 to firmware 1.17!!!!

    Just downloaded the update, and it seems to have fixed my problems as well.

    Dont update Kestrel 5700 to firmware 1.17!!!!

    Heard back from Andrew at Kestrel- apparently there’s an issue with the app and the latest version of iOS. He said it should be fixed in the next couple days. This is the cause they are attributing my issue to. However, he said what I'm experiancing mirrors what others are having troubles...

    Dont update Kestrel 5700 to firmware 1.17!!!!

    I seem to have gotten a similar bug when I upgraded my Sportsman to Elite. It's showing that I have firmware 1.15, but I'm experiencing, what appears to be, the same problem you guys are. I'm able to create a new gun profile, but it will default to 0.475 G7 BC every time. Try to change it and...

    Leofoto tripods

    I have the RRS TA-3 in mine, but I'm using the bowl that came with the tripod. If you use the bowl that comes installed on the TA-3, it won't latch on the lock mechanism; you'll only have the clamping action to secure it. Good way to lose a $300 item IMO. Now, RRS advertises the TA-3 as...

    Waterproof warm jacket/pant

    The WT hard shell is $330 less than the Alpha Gen 2 at retail pricing, so I would presume, it would always be less than the Arc. This seems to be the case with just about all of their tactical line offerings compared to roughly equivalent Arc LEAF products. That said, you believe it's at least...

    Atlas bipods; CAL or 5-H

    I've been running a standard V8 on my AXMC, which I do use for PRS matches. What's everyone's take on the new Atlas CAL, vs the 5-H on heavy chassis guns like the AXMC in PRS matches? I've been trying to figure out if the 5-H would be a good match, for about a year now. I keep coming back to...

    Waterproof warm jacket/pant

    Allow me to jump in on this and inquire a bit. So I can get mil discounts on Outdoor Research, Wild Things, and Arc’Teryx. I'm not going to list specific pricing, but I'll break it down by the jackets (I'll be getting the matching model pants) I'm looking at and how they price out compared to...

    A&D FX120i labscale reloading upgrade with V2 auto trickler review.

    I don't think the weight is "necessary" per-say. Area 419 will supposedly have their pan available this week last I heard and it's about half the weight. However, I don't think their handle is as long as the PVA unit. This is likely where the weight comes into play. The PVA handle is fairly...

    Leofoto tripods

    I can now confirm, that no, the TA-3 will not work on the LN-324C. As a matter of fact, it only "sort of" works on the LN-364C. If you're fine using only the clamp to retain the TA-3, then you can use it as is. BUT, it WILL NOT engage the lock mechanism in the tripod. To do that, you must...

    Leofoto tripods

    Now having both the 364C and 324C in hand, I think I can better comment in regards to this. I'll make a separate post soon covering these tripods, but for right now, with this thread, I'll give a quick impressions... I'm 6'3", and IMO, the 364C has more height capacity than needed. It's not...

    AMP annealer , now self calibrating !

    Man, I sure hope you're mistaken. I just bought mine a month ago. I'd be pretty disappointed if they charged for the update.
