    What is the story of Unfilmed L3 versus Elbit in White Phosphor today?

    I am thinking mostly of recoil resistance in high spec tubes in a dedicated scope or in a PVS-14. I am actually looking at an M-27 MUNS with an older spec Green tube but, a PVS-14 might work in my situation and give me some versatility. TIA, Sid

    Bergara B14 HMR or something else?

    I am debating a Bergara B14 HMR in 6.5CM for longer range target work and shooting feral hogs out to ~200 yards. Is there a better rifle for similar money? What sort of accuracy am I looking at for farther shots at 400 yards or more? Regarding the feral hogs, I get good results with a 16"...

    375 Cheytac rifles today? Or something else.

    I am wondering about the new Sako TRG 62 and similar rifles in 375 Cheytac versus something potentially in the 338 class like the 338 Norma or that new Swiss round. I run a 300WM now so, my next option is something larger for >1,000 yards that won't kick like a mule every time I shoot it. I...

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon ACOG/VCOG cantilever mount questions

    I am running a Trijicon thermal IR Hunter Mark3-60mm which is good on a semi-auto but, on my short action bolt action rifle has to be set too far forward in order to cycle the bolt. After speaking with Trijicon, I was recommended the Trijicon AC12043 mount which will fit my thermal after...

    What is the state of LMT MWS-H complete uppers these days?

    I want to add a complete MWS-H upper, most likely in 6.5CM. Things seem to have stabilized for supply chains and related costs due to better availability as well so, I'm entering the market again. Inflation still bites but, there is nothing I can do about that! What are my better options...

    Bergara B-14R in 22WMR vs. 17HMR?

    With a basically stock rifle, what sort of accuracy should I expect from the B-14R in 22WMR vs. 17HMR? I hear lots of negative feedback on 22WMR rifles and praise for the 17HRM versions. I have a little preference for a 22WMR but, not if it has terrible groups with normal ammunition in the...

    Who makes the better INTEGRAL 22WMR rifles today?

    In the past, there was a company in TN that made a rifle I think called the Ticho, and another in Texas that I believe was SAS or something similar. Then there are all the other shops and can makers that have or had integral options like Elite Iron and similar shops. Today, I am thinking a CZ...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Better "Anti-Social" shotguns today? Beretta, Benelli, other?

    I have short CQB-friendly Pump-actions covered for contact distance encounters. Today, I really need to investigate the current crop of premium semi-auto combat shotguns. I hear a lot of 'Mall Ninjas" talk about the Benelli M-4 but I wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze. I'm initially...

    Who makes good 357 Soccom upper these days?

    Are 375 Soccom uppers available today or just barrels? I'm not currently a "gun plumber" so, buying tools and a raw barrel isn't super exciting. I'm looking for a bit more velocity than I can get with a 458 Soccom while still keeping good bullet weight and frontal area. TIA, Sid

    STAG 10 6.5CM upper on a LMT MARS-H? Or, something better?

    Brownells STAG 10 CREEDMOOR LR UPPER listing looks pretty good but, is it a good match for an LMT MARS-H at $650 plus BCG/CH? What other uppers should I consider? I am only interested in complete uppers so, no "roll your own builds" are under consideration. I would like to keep it under $1500...

    Precision Rifle Gear Current bipod options available now?

    What are the better bipod options available today, not next year, not post-COVID, etc.? I have a friend wanting a bipod for a rather generic Savage bolt action 300WM who wants to try some longer range stuff off a bipod. I don't think a $500 option is remotely in the realm of reason for him...

    L3Harris CNVD-LR (PVS-24LR/M2124LR)?

    I am basically on a Feral Hog Jihad with a Feral Dog problem among cows with newborn calves. TARGET IDENTIFICATION is paramount. I am in East Texas so, humidity and light pollution are tangible issues. My primary pasture has a 200 yard tree line and the other is ~400 yards. I'm running an...

    Griffin Armament Resistance 22M?

    Who uses one of these suppressors on a rimfire? How does it compare to other popular options? At 4.75" in length, it is on the short side but, 1.375" OD gives it a lot of volume. I have mixed feelings on using a 'wipe' and wonder if the larger volume in this can increases FRP ("first round...

    22WMR suppressed? Which one?

    I'm thinking about a Suppressed Weapon Systems, near Houston, CZ 457. What suppressed 22WMR's are recommended for predator elimination (not ammunition)? I'm thinking an Integral for a lower profile is the better way to to. Tikka doesn't offer the T1X in 22WMR and I'm not interested in BMags...

    White Oak SPR Upper .223/5.56, 18" Barrel, ALG Handguard, 1-8 Twist? Something else?

    How does this upper shoot with common target and defense loads ($15 give or take a few bucks per box, no entry level blaster ammo)? Right now I'm shooting Gold Dot 64gr loads for general use FWIW. Will this barrel stabilize 77gr target loads (my friend uses DCM/CMP competition loads) and I...

    .17 or .20 thoughts for a flat shooting critter killer

    I have considered the small caliber options off and on for a long time but, never had a real need or enough desire to put my money down on one so, no 20TAC or similar rifles are hiding in my gun safe. :) I am wanting something that won't fly forever if it hits a tree branch or blows through a...

    Gunsmithing SSG-3000/STR-200 barrel importation?

    I'm looking for a 6.5x55 barrel for my US built SSG-3000. I have read in broken English/Norwegian translations that both share a common barrel. Has anyone managed to import a barrel for this rifle? Or, have I missed a domestic manufacturer? I'm not really interested in sacrificing an...

    Discreet backpacks for an SBR in urban environments?

    I'm looking at the Noveske backpack, the Eberlestock Cherry Bomb and, similar items from 5.11. What works for you and why? Specifically, I'm looking for something non-tactical that can hold an Uzi SMG (full-size or mini), M-16, and MP-5's. I want quality construction that won't...
