Here are the specific battery requirements: 18.5v li-ion 4300mah I know where to source the connector for the headlamp & I can wire and solder very well. I do a lot...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Match Pro ED 3-18 & other budget scopes

    I have been interested in picking one up to try out. For the money vs features it looks pretty good, but I can’t find any real world reviews from people who own them. Curious how they stack up against the 5-30 variant, or similarly (to slightly more expensive) priced scopes such as the Athlon...

    Accessories Really bad ass mountain bike willing to trade for specific firearms and related *XC large frame"

    First off I am only listing this here because I would be interested in some firearms / scope trades.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Match Pro ED 3-18 end user’s experience

    I have read the existing threads I can find on this 3-18, they seem to peeter out sometime last year. Who out there has some time behind one? How are they doing as far as tracking, reliability, etc? The form factor is what I am looking for and I have always been a big DMR fan but damn the DMR3...

    I was really into the precision rimfire game my whole life but the last 3 ish years my life has gone a little sideways (all in good ways) & left little to no time for this lifelong passion. But I am back! I want to build something new and get back into the mix. I am curious who are the major...

    Hunting & Fishing Mossberg 500 Turkey/Deer combo experience / opinions

    Looking to get some feedback from firsthand users on the 500 Turkey/Deer combo. I have never owned a 500, but I have a lot of time behind the M590 while in the Marine Corps. I love the 590 platform but the only Mossberg shotgun that I have personally owned is the 930 JM Pro which was great. But...

    rimfire suppressor for precision rifle

    I am fully aware and have been preaching for years that suppressors do not belong on a precision rimfire if your chasing the razors edge of accuracy. I know that adding weight to a rimfire barrel is a big roll of the dice as far as accuracy, especially an ever changing weight. However with that...

    Extremely light but hyper accurate 22lr rifle

    I have moved away from most all precision centerfire and rimfire rifle stuff lately. I sold everything but my last V-22 to fund a house build and completely get out of debt. My goal in my new life is going to be more hunting, fishing, and outdoor activities. I will be building an accurate but...

    I am in need of a LRF for archery (one that has software specifically designed for short range and very accurate angle compensation), so far the Bushnell Broadhead has excellent reviews for both angle compensation accuracy and consistency.

    0.5 MOA guarantee…

    https://fiercearms.com/carbon-razor/ It is only for 3 rounds at 50 yards, but that is still a bold move cotton. I am interested to see how this plays out. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of CF wrapped barrels that can compete with all steel in the precision rimfire world. Who knows they could be...
