    Suppressor wait times getting faster

    I just got another Sparrow from SS. It was in stock and it took 3 weeks to get the form 3 done to transfer to my shop, 1 week to certify. Just 2 days for ATF approval

    Best binos under 400?

    I have Kowa 6.5 and they are fantastic. Huge field of view, light, very bright. I think most people are over scoped and run too much magnification on binos. Trying to hold a pair of 10x steady for long gets tiresome.

    Trijicon Accupoint with the center dot and astigmatism?

    Even IF there was a glare with the dot, you could always close the window for the fiber optic and just use it as a regular reticle. It is still an awesome scope without the benefit of the illumination.

    Suppressor wait times

    Well, I spoke truth to power. Certified 4/2 in the afternoon and got approved yesterday morning! Basically 1 day, amazing! Great job ATF.

    Convince me to spend more $ on a scope

    I can't. FF with holder overs will do it. 3-9 Accupoint will have better glass and IMHO the green mil dot reticle is the best pure hunting reticle made (non dialing).

    Suppressor wait times

    I was wondering what's up! I purchased a Sparrow through SS, my 4th can from them. It took 3 weeks to get the form 3 done and received by my local dealer. I got notified by the dealer it is there, but I am still waiting to certify and it will be 4 weeks on Weds. Hopefully I'll get approved...

    Colorado GMU 181/18 update?

    This makes sense. I thought there would be some growth but I saw nothing. Used to hunt Troublesome Creek and it will be decades before it recovers. I spent the night in Winter Park a talked with the girl at the Best Western about it. It must have terrifying yet striking to see the fire...

    Colorado GMU 181/18 update?

    I had many successful backpacking hunts there. I drove up last October and about wanted to cry. Moonscape with charred skeletons of trees. I saw no sign of regrowth, yet there were trailers and horse tracks where hunters were giving it a go at a trailhead....no idea how a rabbit could find...

    Reloading scale that doesn’t suck?

    Ever considered that powder volume consistency may actually be more important than weight? Within reason of cours, not talking about a full grain varience. Get a good beam scale and powder measure and test thrown vs individually weighed charges for yourself. I enjoy loading, but not wasting...

    New Winchester Model 70 Super Grades. Good?

    I've got a 2008 limited edition FW in 270 from BACO's initial run in SC. It is just gorgeous and shoots well under and inch with a couple different 150g bullets. Its a safe queen and I keep waffling on selling it. It just hard to sell a gorgeous shooter.

    Unknown tikka action mod issues…

    Yup. Different strokes I guess. Just because it can be done doesn't make it a good idea. Glad the OP is 'happy'.
