    Night Vision What are your thoughts on the CNVD PVS-24?

    I use my PVS-24 mostly for coyote hunting. I find it ideal for that use with one hunter using thermal and one NV. I have used it with a 3-12x56 Hensoldt and a TA-11 3.5X Acog with my 5.56 AR rifles. I also use it with a TA-11 Acog on a modified Ruger 10/22 with a Kidd barrel and Bravo stock. It...

    LMT 6.5 MWS range report (12/01/24 update)

    Nice shooting Matt. I agree, shooting gas guns is a fun challenge.

    LMT .308 MWS

    Natural light or strobes? Nice shooting and nice photo! I need to get out my 16" chrome lined and do some load development. It shot just under an inch at 100 yards with Hornady 178 BTHPs and one trial charge weight. It feels like it could be a hammer, especially for such a hard wearing barrel.

    Best barrel length for 308 out to 400 yards?

    No problem, I would just get a quality 16" medium weight barrel for your described use.

    Best barrel length for 308 out to 400 yards?

    If you want to put a longer barrel on your AR10, I would consider a Proof Carbon barrel to keep it less front heavy. I have a Proof Carbon 22" 6.5CM on another AR10, it's pretty nicely balanced with the carbon barrel.

    Best barrel length for 308 out to 400 yards?

    I have a LMT 308 with a 16 inch and 18 inch barrels. Out to 400 max, I would probably go 16 inch unless you are shooting smaller critters out at that range. As long as you have the gas optimized, the mid-length isn't significantly worse than the rifle length to manage.

    Reloading precision .223 for the first time. Help if you can...

    Starline 5.56 brass is incredible brass for the money. I like it better than LC. Their 300 BLK, 308 WIN, and 6.5CM brass has also been excellent. Mandrel neck sizing has helped my reloading consistency. I have some powder preferences but if you have been reloading you probably already have...

    Air Gun Picture Thread

    Leshiy Classic 350 is a killer hunting machine! Easy to throw in the pack for even those thin air mountain hunts. Ground squirrels and marmots beware!

    Powder for super short 300blk

    N120 works great with my 200gr Makers and 200gr SGKs and has cycled my DD PDWs without fail.

    What the fuck, LMT?

    This is the purpose of those marks on your upper and lower. It allows for a custom fit between lower and upper. What some people complain about these days is hilarious.

    Night Vision IR illuminator for KN253

    I like the Kiji 3 degree myself. It comes with a diffusor cap for a 10 degree throw that is mainly useful for up close work with a laser and helmet mounted NV. For use with a clip-on, I leave the cap flipped to the side in 3 degree mode. It is very bright, compact, and light.

    Leupold Spotter Opinions??

    I have not used a 80mm. I have a 60 and enjoy the compact nature of that scope. Most of the time I have it at around 20 power anyway.

    LMT DMR stock, it's nice for a precision rig.

    What's the best performing 223 AR load/bullet if you had to choose one?

    N133 and the 53 Vmax is a match made in heaven. And yes this load shoots great in my 1:7 barrels. N140 is fantastic with the 77 SMK/TMK.

    LMT .308 MWS

    I have not shot my 6.5CM CIP SS barrel yet. I did get out today for the first time with the 16” 308 chrome lined CIP barrel that was on sale for $399. Tried a generic load with Varget and Hornady 178 BTHP. First 5 shot group (scope not yet zeroed): A couple three shot groups: I was...
