    Suppressing a pencil barrel...

    I have a dozen rifles threaded 1/2X28 in calibers ranging from .223 through 7RM. I use a direct thread Omega on all of them without issue. I have also used an adapter on 2 270 WSMs. No issues there either. In fact, out of the dozen or so suppressors I use, the only time I have had an issue...

    Help choosing ideal chambering/rifle to shoot lead free projectiles.

    I culled an entire herd of deer one night using a 243. Mine was a Sako in a 10? twist I believe. Well before they went to the fast twist barrels anyway. I ranged them from 387 to 413. I believe that the 243 has been one the most under-looked cartridges until most recently. But of all...

    Kids rifle manifesto

    Minors can not be put on an NFA trust. Wait until they are 18, add and re-notarize. Done!

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Any ideas on what it is? I still haven't figured it out. I've heard possible reflection from a satellite?

    What’s the coolest thing you found in the back country

    One year my uncle lost his wallet while hunting in the sage brush. 3-4 years later I found his wallet while hunting. He was next to me walking the line and I gave it back. Kind of a neat story

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Can't let this thread die. Not creepy but weird. My wife and I were on our property on the Little Lost River range. Desolate. No noise or light pollution. When cows came down and were 2 miles away it sounded like they were right in camp. We were sitting around a campfire about...

    Fast twist 243 factory ammo future

    Thanks for the replies. Hopefully some of the "boutique" ammo manufacturers will produce some decent ammo to take advantage of the new fast twist rifles.

    Fast twist 243 factory ammo future

    Question for the masses. With the fast twist 243 barrel trend we are starting to see, does anyone think we will see a factory ammo 108gr ELDM 243 load? Or are SAAMI specs prohibitive of such a cartridge? I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, but I haven't seen it.

    Advice on selling guns / scopes

    Guys, what would you suggest would be the best way to start selling some rifles and scopes? Rokslide classifieds, Gunbroker or Ebay (scopes)? Am I better off to separate scopes and rifles, or leave them together? Auction or fixed price? If it was one gun it would be one thing, but looking at...

    Sanity Check - 6.5c vs 6c

    I own a Seekins Element 6mm CM and a Wby Backcountry Ti 6.5 CM. Both 5.5 - 6lb guns. The 6mm has noticeably less recoil in similar weight set ups. Highly recommend the Seekins in a 6mm

    Xbolt help… stripped scope mount hole

    I did the same thing. Send it to Browning. Cost me $75 last year. Turnaround was 3 weeks. They EDM'd it out. Left the threads intact. They deal with this ALL THE TIME with the X-Bolt.

    Marking NF parallax knob

    Form, have you ever posted a picture of a scope that does not look like it was drug behind a pickup truck? And I thought I was hard on my gear... :)

    Modular Length Suppressors

    SiCo fanboy here. The Hybrid, Omega 30 & Omega 36 are all "modular". Meaning you have a choice of end caps from .22 to .30, .36 & .45 and a choice to run QD or direct thread. End caps and mounting options can get pricey. Example, I mostly use an Omega 30. I have 1/2X28, 5/8X24 and QD mounts...

    AR15 for training and hunting

    I believe somewhere in that post that Form stated that if he was tasked with eliminating a population of grizzlies he would use an AR with 77TMKs. That should give you an idea of whether or not you can hunt with an AR. Not a direct quote, just a summary. If I quoted the wrong person or got...

    6mm bullet through 22 end cap on suppressor

    Not brave. We discovered it accidentally. The worst that could happen is I get a strike and have to replace an $80 end cap. But over the course of several hundred rounds through six different 6mm guns we haven't had a strike yet. I started the post just to see if anyone else had done this...

    6mm bullet through 22 end cap on suppressor

    A little. It's got a different tone if anything
