    Gen 3 BRN-180

    Yes, I did a search, no results. Does anyone have a gen3 yet? Compared to gen 2, is it worth the swap? I shoot lefty often so the left side charging handle isn't necessarily a good thing. The sealed upper is, and they are hella maneuverable due to light weight up front and very light weight...

    Serious question, no flame war needed or wanted

    So, a friend is talking to what I have been told is a serious outfit about buying a custom gasser topped with... wait for it... a Valdata scope. I've been around a while, I bought the first gen SH 3-18 (and it failed), and have owned at least 10 IORs (none any longer) so I am not a newcomer...

    First time prairie dog hunting

    As the topic says, first time. I've read a bit, but it tends to come from either the centerfire crowd or the air rifle crowd - am more interested in those that hunt and put less emphasis on the specific tool. My plan is a few workhorse ARs in 556 and a 22 air rifle and a 243AI for long, long...

    Best solutions for clip-on thermal on a traditional stock?

    Setup is a R700 300WM in a McMillan HTG running a ZCO 4-20 in a Spurh mount. I want to put a Steiner C35 in front of the day optic, but haven't done this particular thing before. If the best solution is "dump the McMillan, go to a chassis" then it is what it is; however, I'd like an...

    Optics WTS FLIR Breach - sold pending funds

    Purchased new from TNVC about 10 months ago, has been in the field a few times, 3-5 hours on the unit. I am including a dovetail pic mount (in the picture), all original cables and documentation, original box, and a FLIR 5-button remote. The remote is great, bluetooth paired to the device...

    AI bipod

    In reading through old posts, it seems there is no way to improve the AI bipod, is that accurate? Mine moves laterally a bit more than I would like, but I see no way to lock that down. I have several Atlas bipods and they feel much more solid up front. That said, I like the AI deployment and...

    AI-AWM viper skin (v2) with AI reat butt spike

    Has anyone cut their viper skins to fit around a factory butt spike? If so, do you have pictures? I contacted the maker, they said it can be done, but they have no process or pictures. I can do it (and photograph it) but figured I'd ask the community first, no need to reinvent the...

    SWFA photo contest

    The list of finalists is out, I'd appreciate a vote for the jackal taken in South africa (off-hand, 250 yards, full run, high wind, doped on the reticle, 300WM to the grape), but vote for what you think deserves the win. Contest Entries

    Gunsmithing Tikka barrel work?

    Having just posted how great Aaron Roberts at Roberts' Precision is, my singular gripe is that I need a Tikka T3 barrel threaded and he doesn't do Tikka work. Any recommendations from those who have had good experiences with a smith doing work on a Tikka?

    Gunsmithing Wilson TTU trigger

    A little over a year ago, I posted here that I had an AR5 lower with a Wilson TTU trigger group that "bump fired": one trigger pull, 2 rounds fired. The upper on the rifle was a 6.8 SPC2 firing higher-pressure "tactical" loads. Shortly thereafter, for entirely other reasons, I sold the 6.8...

    New pecker, new paint

    I hate rebarreling - especially if the gun is a shooter before. I am the proud owner of a very rare lefty 40X in 308 (original barrel stamped "7.62 NATO"), it has been a shooter since I got it, but barrels are - for non-safe queen rifles - meant to be replaced. The time came for the original...

    Gunsmithing Anyone have much experience with pistol-cal ARs?

    I know, I know, "why run a pistol caliber in a rifle", let us forgo that conversation and focus on the actual implementation of the thing. I have a 40-cal 11" AR upper up and running, but notice that parts that have never failed before are failing now. Last time out, my bolt stop got sheered...

    Gunsmithing DRM Precision Weapons barrels

    Anybody heard of them or use them? I need a threaded Beretta 96 barrel and this is one of the only games in town; however, they don't answer email and their phone says the mailbox is full, won't take new messages. I placed an order with them, card hasn't been charged, order hasn't been...

    Suppressors Suppressed 300WM

    I've been shooting suppressed for many years, mostly 308 or 223-based rounds. Today, I shot a 24-inch barrel 300WM with a can for the first time ever and holy hell, does it ever make a difference. Recoil diminished dramatically (it's a 9 pound gun with scope), concussion was dramatically...

    1 pull, 2 rounds, thoughts?

    Gun: mil spec AR15 lower Wilson TTU trigger group ARPerformance 6.8 upper and BCG Nosler 100-gr Accubond Firing suppressed from the bench. Loaded 1 round into the magazine and fired (new scope on the rifle, one round after bore sighting to zero.) I made the dope change, loaded 3 rounds, and...

    Butler Creek covers

    Is it just me, or have their covers gone to shit lately? I've broken more covers in the past 6 months than in the previous 10 years, without any real change in the way I handle or use. Maybe it's me. Figured I'd ask. It wouldn't be the first time I am the exception rather than the rule.
