    Best 4-16 rifle scope for 1k or less

    Nightforce SHV 4-14 F1 FFP but has nice illumination in the center. Comes in MOA. Exposed elevation, capped windage, but hashes for holding wind like you want. Durable. Not made in China. It's $1290 at Cabelas. But if you buy it on their 10% off day, get cash back through activejunky, and pay...

    Durston X-Mid Pro 1p DCF Tent

    ^^ I'm not Brewski, but I used the Xmid Pro 2 for scouting and alpine hunts last year, and was very pleased with it. At a very slight weight penalty and footprint size penalty, imo the Pro 2 makes way more sense than the Pro 1 for a hunter. It has every advantage that you'd expect from the...

    Hunting suppressor

    There are a few other threads asking the same thing. Here's one from last month: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/ultralight-compact-30-cal-hunting-suppressor.334574/ Another recent one: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-compact-30-cal-suppressor.322854/ And...

    Lightweight Suppressor Comparison and Poll

    Yeah that's really thin, looks like the adapter/brake is best for this. Short of a smith adding the Sig/Q taper to the barrel (which is my personal preference).

    Lightweight Suppressor Comparison and Poll

    Just thread the Hyperion K onto the 5/8x24 that you're already using for the Nomad TI, and then you can treat it like any other direct thread without a weight or length penalty. You don't absolutely have to use the CGS adapter with the taper (the threads themselves aren't tapered). Once you do...

    Lightweight Suppressor Comparison and Poll

    Direct thread is much nicer imo. An adapter for an adapter doesn't make much sense. What is your barrel's threading?

    Anyone have a tricked out .22 pistol they hunt squirrels with.

    Nice setup. Where is the grouse gun thread? I don't see it on the small game or upland bird forums, or in your recent post history.

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    I've posted two of them in this thread. Most recent: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/6-5-creedmoor-260-for-deer-elk-and-whatever-else.244973/page-25#post-3205990

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Some great pics showing wound details. The photos on this page are averaging better as far as showing the damage.

    AR hunters

    .223, most recently shooting 77gr TMK under CFE 223. Scope has either been a Nightforce SHV 4-14 or NX8 1-8 depending on what I've been after. With the NX8 (and a new carbon fiber handguard), I'm at 8.5 pounds empty with suppressor.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    No caliber would be for me in that scenario.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Of course, that's why there are hundreds of pics in the referenced threads showing performance from different angles and shot placements-- to not overgeneralize.

    Gunwerks 6ix+, AB Raptor Eight Stack, CGS Hyperion K, Thunder Beast Dominus

    I really like the 25 degree Sig/Q taper on the Hyperion K. You get all the benefits of direct thread (improved accuracy/repeatability) but the benefits usually reserved for QD (hand tighten/remove, yet not needing a tool to keep it from backing off during use). I use it on my 6.5 Tikka (smithed...

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    Can anyone recommend a shoe polish for these? Only downside to these boots for me have been the quick color wear around the edges and the top of the foot.

    Suppressor POI shift

    Good point. It would be interesting to see if anyone has experiences with inconsistent shift. I move my Hyperion K around between two rifles all the time, with both left zeroed for suppressed shooting. Removing it and putting it back on the same gun later has never resulted in any change of...

    Suppressor POI shift

    Hyperion K on a 6.5cm moved POI low and right 4". Same can on a .223 AR15 and there was no POI change.
