9mm Bear defense pistol ammo?
Pretty sure anything approved by the FBI would do the trick. Barrier blind with 12”- I think 18” of penetration. -

2011's stacattos and others
Pretty sure I got an email from nw armory in the last couple weeks saying they had some in stock. Might be worth stopping by or calling. -

Swfa 3-15 milquad or Optika6 as a Nrl22 base class scope
I’ve only shot a few nrl 22 matches but I have a swfa 3-15 on a tikka T1x that I use when I do. It’s a pretty sweet little set up. I did put a 20 moa rail on it so I’d have some extra elevation available. I’ve shot steel out to 200 meters (local range has some steel set at meters) quite a bit... -

Concealed carry belt
Another vote for tenicor zero. I’ve tried several others for aiwb and the zero is my favorite so far. I don’t love a super rigid belt, I’d rather have a touch of slack so it can kind of find its happy place as I move/sit/kneel etc. -

RokStok
I have shot with Phillip, I think he calls it building the bridge. It made me way less dependent/ reliant on the rear bag. He is a good dude and was helpful for me to shoot with. The particular detail that was new/helpful to me was putting some pressure back into your shoulder. I had previously... -

“Meaningful” differences 6.5 cm be 308?
I wouldn’t shoot copper out of either one. 6.5 will be a good bit better in the wind and have less recoil. I don’t think critters will be able to tell the difference but the 6.5 will be easier to hit them with. -

Which youth rifle?
