    I need some AR expertise

    As you should love the SFAR! That and POF's small-frame AR-10 designs are incredible. If it weren't for this place, I'd own one. After all, every discerning shooter/hunter knows that all one needs to kill anything at gentlemanly distances is a .223 Tikka stuffed with 77-grain TMKs. As a...

    WTS/WTT Schmidt & Bender 4-16x50mm Precision Hunter

    Anyone interested in my S&B 4-16x50mm Precision Hunter scope? It's in great shape, no issues with glass or mechanics, only a few ring marks. This scope was likely made around 20 years ago, and I wish I loved it, as I'll never be able to afford another Schmidt & Bender. I've only used it to put...

    The backstories to names are fascinating to learn. Thanks for sharing, everyone. Keep them coming!

    Whats your name boy?

    I'm not bright, and I don't weigh that much. Guess the name works!

    Dedicated Big Woods Whitetail Setup

    Minus the Aimpoint, which isn't great in low-light, all good points, Buzby If only this newfangled AR design you speak of would catch on. Just kidding. It is astonishing how many hunters discount the AR-15. It's ideal for this exact situation.

    Dedicated Big Woods Whitetail Setup

    OP, great post and solid questions. Sounds like a fast-twist .223 will be everything you want and more. My suggestion is a FightLite SCR (image below is not mine but looks badass). The SCR is an AR-15 that cross-dresses as a traditional rifle. It'll carry better than a standard AR in the brush...

    WTS/WTT Sig P225-A1

    This is one of the most reliable pistols ever made. I used to work at SIG and regret not picking one up.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    I'm disappointed in Thegman's bullet selection. By using the 69-grain TMK instead of the 75 ELD-Ms, he'd save .014 ounce per bullet! That's a lotta unnecessary weight going up a mountain. With a 10-round mag, that's an extra .137 ounces! I say the above in jest, but in all seriousness, the...

    Idaho Spring Bear Units 16 and 16A

    Never hunted either 16 or 16a, but I guarantee you there are bears there. That country is ideal habit for bruins. Find cliffy, southeast-facing slopes with cover and water and you'll find bears in April. Throughout the season, the bears will go higher and higher. That part of Idaho is so...

    AI Art

    I don't mess around with AI. I'm too busy chasing exotics in Texas. To each their own.

    Battle of the 6’s

    1. 6mm Creedmoor by a wide margin 2. 6 XC if you're a reloader and like to be different 3. .243 if you're OK staying below 100 or so grains and want to buy a used rifle

    Caliber Battle: 6mm ARC vs 6.5 Creedmoor for Deer Sized Game

    Ammonia will be back soon, I'm told. Covid and all, the chemical industry is still catching up.

    Muzzle Break to Suppressor

    The barrel is threaded 5/8-24, so remove the brake and thread on a can. It's that simple. Getting a suppressor is the only challenging part.

    Caliber Battle: 6mm ARC vs 6.5 Creedmoor for Deer Sized Game

    I'm with you on the .22 ARC. That would be intriguing. However, the 6mm ARC does have the advantage of being legal for big-game in all states.

    Caliber Battle: 6mm ARC vs 6.5 Creedmoor for Deer Sized Game

    In the right action, the 6mm ARC is perhaps the finest medium-game cartridge ever made. As you can see with the ballistic chart I recently generated comparing the ARC to the .223, it's an impressive round through a 16-inch barrel. Compared to the 6.5 CM, the recoil difference is substantial...

    WTS 3 Nikon Scopes

    That 6X Monarch is tempting. Great price for a solid optic. I'm a sucker for fixed-power scopes.

    Which youth rifle?

    Best option is AR-15. That gun is built for kids. Suppressor makes it even better. Next best is a bolt action, and the top choice is likely a Tikka. Chop barrel and add suppressor to make it even better.

    Sidearm or Not?

    Traditional sidearms suck. If you're trying to stop a methhead or a mountain bear with a 9mm, you're in a bad situation. My solution is an ultralight bolt-action .300 BLK AR pistol that weighs just over 2.25 pounds. It's not good for hunting. It's not good for defense. It's not good for anything...

    Dream rifle (NULA in 6mm ARC) needs an optic

    The main takeaways from this thread are to not to buy the NXS 2.5-10x32 and replace my Talley mounts with basically anything else. Good to know. Thanks for the feedback. I'm surprised someone hasn't recommended swapping the NULA straight-across for a Tikka .223, SWFA 6X or 3-9X, and a minimum...
