    Suppressors Received my Thunderbeast 22L -- very high praise following

    I've tried semi-auto rifles, and semi-auto pistols, and everything is .... well, quiet. All ammo I tried was hearing safe, even stingers, but they were a bit sharp. The CCI target was about 890fps, and the Remington Subsonic was about 820fps. The actual sound differences were insignificant...

    Suppressors Adding a trustee to my trust

    I'm to the point now I want to add a trustee to my trust. My lawyer gave me three forms for the first three people to be added, but in the forms, it states the person will become a trustee once the ATF is made aware of the change. Do we have to submit a change to the trust to the ATF? Do we...

    Benchrest rest

    That's great feedback. I'll pass that along.

    Benchrest rest

    It was built for .22s, not for center fire. Actually, it tracks quite well. One quarter twist of the windage knob moves the reticle just under a half inch. I'm not sure he would want to break into just front rests-- there are other issues involved in the design.

    Benchrest rest

    Yes, it has large knobs for both elevation and windage.

    Benchrest rest

    My neighbor couldn't see paying the $$$ for a benchrest rest, so he made this one. What do you think? He's thinking of offering these for sale for $500. I told him he needed to offer them in football colors, but he's not too keen on those.

    Sako, feel the burn...

    Which of the stock choices did you select for something that will work with the TRG?

    Adjustable cheek spacer for TRG?

    Nothing but the highest regard for the work by Terje. Got one, and butplate spacers, and never looked back.

    Any regrets going custom?

    . I actually have a few questions out to the seller of the one listed in the for sale section. :-)

    Any regrets going custom?

    Ok, I'm not new to the shooting game. I am new to the prospect of getting a possibly custom rifle. I want a .223, and therein lies the problem. If Sako made a TRG in .223 or AI made a .223, then I would have a direction. But I haven't seen a higher-end factory rifle in .223. I realize I...

    Any regrets going custom?

    The issue here is a dearth of .223 bolt rifles available. I had a Blaser Tactical II, and I could have gotten a barrel and bolt for that ~$1800!), but the base rifle was chambered in .338lm, and I had nowhere to shoot. So I sold it. I have a SCAR 16, but want a bolt for precision work.

    Any regrets going custom?

    I read many threads about how people are just plain giddy about a custom rifle they've had built. But my question is-- has anyone here ever gotten a custom rifle, and then said, "meh."? (i.e., thought the extra $$ for the custom build didn't justify the costs). I now have the opportunity to...

    Suppressors Question for current owners - regrets?

    Re: Question for current owners - regrets? My first can was a Gemtech G5. It's been a great can, but my biggest regret was getting a .223 specific can, instead of a .30 can. I've rectified the error of my ways by ordering a TBAC 30BA and a Templar archangel.

    Suppressors Ultrasonic sinks

    Re: Ultrasonic sinks So the question now is are the TI suppressors safe for US cleaning? I would think if they are safe for the dip, then they are safe for US cleaning as well. However, I could be wrong. Anyone have any direct experience?

    Suppressors Ultrasonic sinks

    I'm thinking of getting an ultrasonic sink to clean my suppressors-- anyone have a preference? For the few times I would use it during the year, I was considering a Harbor Freight unit. Any experiences?

    Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious Hey Matt-- may want to delete the first second and third sentence. Political things are a huge no-no on the hide.

    Suppressors QD vs Thread On

    Re: QD vs Thread On I was going to go with a 30P-1, but I have two rifles: a Sako TRG 22 (M18-1 threads), and a Remington 40XC (5/8x24 threads). The better option for me was the 30BA.

    Suppressors Hunting with a suppresser

    Re: Hunting with a suppresser Not to belabor a point, but I'f the primary purpose of a silencer is to make a rifle more accurate, then why are the bench rest shooters not using them? Or the rail gun shooters? After all, they are the ones in pursuit of the ultra-tiny groups, ad-nauseum.

    Maggie’s why is it that shooting prone attracts retards?

    Re: why is it that shooting prone attracts retards? I had an Anschutz 1917 .22lr at the range: "What's that?". *spits tobacco* "It's an Anschutz .22 caliber rifle." "Bet it can shoot real far....". *spits*
