    Noveske DDF Barrels

    Looks like Noveske just dropped their DDF barrel line: https://noveske.com/product-category/ddf/ These look pretty interesting. I'm curious to hear people's reports on them when they start to get in the hands of some SH'ers. Maybe @padom or @Bigjake83 can test some for us...

    Member Link Up Anchorage AK

    Anybody here in Anchorage? My wife and I are considering a move to Anchorage. She's potentially got a great job opportunity there, and she has lots of family ties to AK.

    Question for the accurized AR-15 crowd...

    I have a Falkor Caitlyn that I won at an SHC event many years ago. Some of you here have probably shot this exact rifle. To mix things up from bolt guns, I decided to make this rifle an "SPR". Today at the range I shot some IMI Razorcore 77 and Blackhills 75 match HP ammo. I shot a lot more IMI...

    Throwing N570

    What is everyone using to throw N570? I just purchased some N570 for my .300NM, first time using this specific powder. Doesn't work well at all with my Autotrickler V2 + IP trickler setup. The IP trickler works well enough, bridges occasionally but easy to overcome. The autothrow bridges up...

    M1 Garands

    Okay, not "snipery", but... How do people feel about M1 Garands? Just got my US citizenship, and thinking about getting an M1 Garand from the CMP. Is the CMP the place to go for this? Any recommendations or tips in regards to M1 Garands in general?

    Anybody here work with appliances or geek out on gas cooktops? My old Dacor just shit the bed yesterday. Looking at getting a new 36" gas cooktop. Budget is around $2k, could stretch it a little more if needed. But if I can get a quality cooktop and save money, I'm all for it. Curious what...

    Accessories Any Scuba Divers?

    I got into scuba years ago, but it never became a primary interest and other hobbies have taken over. I also now live in the desert, so not conveniently located for aquatic activities. I have some very lightly used equipment, that could use a good home! All items for sale only have a handful of...

    Any Google Sheets Experts Here?

    I'm currently working on a Google Sheets document to keep track of my rifle barrel round counts. What I'm trying to figure out, is how to create a formula that keeps track of round count for each barrel after the previous time it was cleaned. I'm guessing it's going to be a formula involving...

    20 Rd mags - what are people using?

    I have a bunch of 30 round mags for my KAC SR-15, but looking to get some 20 rounders for prone shooting and steel Safari matches. #1 priority is reliability. From my cursory research people loved the OKAY industry mags, which have recently gone out of business. I've heard the first gen magpuls...

    AR22 for .22 PRS/NRL type matches?

    Who here is using a AR22 style rifle for these kinds of competitions? I may dip my toes into the precision .22lr world in the near future, but don't have the funds to build a dedicated Rim-X/Vudoo build (unless I sell one of my center-fire rifles to fund). I'm debating about assembling a...

    I'm seriously looking at shooting the CD Team Safari match for the first time this year, and need some optics advice.
