    Diligent defense enticer S Ti ?

    I ordered my Enticer S-ti from my dealer on Feb 1 and it just came in yesterday with his Enticer S. It's pretty slick unfinished and very light. I'm certifying this one individual. ** About a week after I asked my dealer to order on the website then showed 8 weeks lead time due to increased...

    Looking for a new rifle, CA Ridgeline, Ridgeline FFT, or Bergara Ridge Carbon

    I have a few of your options, or similar. I have a T3x 6.5cm lite that I got for $700, sent to LRI and got it chopped, threaded, and fluted for around $500 (would be much cheaper without fluting), got a stockys VG for right at $400. That’s $1,600. It’s definitely my favorite gun, no doubt. I...

    Tikka trigger.. how light is too light?

    No doubt about it. The bolt was stuck and it through my sequence off. For some reason I grabbed the mag when I couldn’t get it loose. Do things differently and there’s a chance you do something wrong. But I also think both things can be true. To tap the trigger with an empty plastic mag and...

    Tikka trigger.. how light is too light?

    I have someone sending me a factory tikka spring as I had a very scary situation with a light aftermarket spring. Haven’t gauged it my guess is it’s at 1.25-1.5. It’s fun at the range but I barely tapped mine with a mag sticking out of the side of my hand while unloading and fired it into the...

    Is the Expen$$$ive Turkey ammo worth it?

    First turkey gun I’ve owned, sighting in the red dot. #9.5 TSS, 1-5/8 oz, 28 gauge, 40 yds. Needs to be cleaned I think but a good start.

    Chopping a 6.5 creedmoor

    I chopped my Tikka stainless and fluted it (against the recommendation of some on here) and looks great and shoots the exact same as before. 17” barrel, I haven’t crono’d it but the dope I gathered put it right at 2500 fps with 140 eldm which puts me out past 550 yds effective. That was...

    Suppressor wait times

    I just had a friend get one at less than 30 days on Monday and had one approved today, certified 10 days ago. Unbelievable.

    I also have the Garmin Epix. It tracks sleep, heart rate, o2, transmits HR to my bike computer, tracks my runs annd bike rides etc. the ecosystem is awesome. I used in the mountains/hills of Virginia last year in the woods and it never lost signal. It’s been great. The face gives me...

    Suppressor covers - who's and why

    I just sent back a Cole Tac after seeing how bulky it was and ordered Can Chaps. In my opinion, way better product. Much thinner profile and sticky, can’t barely move it. I ordered it to fit my Raptor 8 and will also be near perfect on my Diligent defense. I like shooting the Raptor with the...

    Has anyone pursued a private pilots license for the purpose of hunting ?

    I just found this as I'm looking into getting my license in the near future. I'm still weighing the usefulness of it. It's not specifically for hunting but it would certainly be used to get me to some of the 4 or 5 trips I take a year and everything is out of state for me. I spoke to 3...
