    Craddock RTR

    Well, my range trip was forced short and practical due to work and upcoming hog hunt - BUT - the 13.9" Craddock Pangris barrels ran 100% and accuracy looks very promising - one rifle had a 3.5X ACOG and the other a thermal scope so nothing worth photographing or writing home about quite yet...

    Considering a 13.9” upper to go with my 18” 6.5 Grendel.. thoughts?

    For better or worse, to some degree I am, but one more is as far as I'll let it go. I'm guessing there are other 2.1"+ options, I haven't researched them as of yet

    Considering a 13.9” upper to go with my 18” 6.5 Grendel.. thoughts?

    I'm considering HUB'ing a Thunderbeast Ultra 5 or Dominus K to a Keymo QD... my last conversation with them led me to believe there was space in the can to allow it

    Considering a 13.9” upper to go with my 18” 6.5 Grendel.. thoughts?

    I have 12.5" and 20" because I can. My sons have 13.9" only, P&W to 16+ with a mount. The 20" is easier to hit with past 600 - but - on pigs from 0-200 it doesn't matter much other than we use 100 gr ELDX in the 12.5 & 13.9, and I use 123 SST in the 20". I dunno if you could HUB adapt to use...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    Truth be told, I barely use the apps. I am really looking forward to putting the Athlon side by side.

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    If I'd known the factory clip was a pack of lies - and known that there was going to be a stash of the Gen 1's released that still carried full factory warranty - I would have gone that direction. I believe I'm going to be able to get my hands on the new Athlon Cronus CL35 for some T&E, which...

    Craddock RTR

    I have 4 RTR barrels that have landed - two 18" .750" Grendels and and two 13.9" skinny .625" Grendel Pangris barrels - I will have some range reports soon.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    I regret to say I concur the 300 BLK only beats the Grendel in reliability. Under 100 yards, the 300 BLK is o-tay but if I could go back in time and talk to myself, I'd say DON'T DO IT unless you're doing apartment building style CQB.

    Steiner C35 Gen 2 - Initial range trips and first hunt - Updated 9/30 with third hunt

    So, have been using this Steiner for several more trips. 1) The resolution in front of a VX-6 or Vortex Razor continues to impress. I'm using this with a son or friend next to a NOX 35 and purely considering detection/resolution - its a coin toss. 2) I'm still mad* at Steiner for lying to me...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Clean it, give it a hundred rounds or so to speed up, try another chrono. I'm super happy with the grendel between 12.5 - 20" If I could only have one it would be 14-18".... I think a Grendel, a solid optic, a tripod and this...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    I bet the Trijicon 1-8 Credo would be a great fit as well, or a 2-10/2-12 would probably improve eyebox with a RMR somewhere if 1X matters on that one. Any of that ammo you've been testing coming to market anytime soon?

    When clipping onto a rail, we don't see more than 1 MOA of shift and typically less than that.

    Point of diminishing returns for a 2-12 ish scope

    Bought it, have shot it a few times, love it thus far. Have two identical rifles, one with this and the other with an ATACR 4-16 and the ATACR is as much better as it is heavier. The Trijicon is everything a boy needs to whack pigs out to 400+...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    I'm intrigued on one hand, and concerned due to the low hanging side 18650's it wouldn't work with the 45 degree throw over a typical rail on a 50mm objective. With that said, I would LOVE to be wrong, that would be a real game changer for me. I'm not mad at my NOX at all, but if I could leave...

    noveske switchblock

    I love my switchblocks in 556 and 308. I had a Superlative fail and turn the gun into a single shot. I've never had a problem with any of my switchblocks and I have thousands of rounds on some of them. I've mainly used the 308 with an AAC Ranger 7.

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    Competition is one thing and I agree if that is what you're doing, you may need purpose built/custom built/better than. On the other hand, I've taken many 2-5 day rifle classes and most of the rifle/shooter combo's can't hold 3 MOA + it would be a rare shooter who brought an X Arc, Grendel...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    Sounds like at worst its as good, and you bought at least 27% more cool factor than a non DDF... :geek:
