    Suppressors and first shot, cold bore, impact shift from warm barrel sight-in?

    Maybe but I've used gold rings for many years without problems. I will say in the past it's been more set and forget, not as much these days. No problems at the range holding zero.

    Suppressors and first shot, cold bore, impact shift from warm barrel sight-in?

    I saw that just after I posted, very comprehensive, interesting. All rifles looked suppressed.

    Suppressors and first shot, cold bore, impact shift from warm barrel sight-in?

    You are correct but that situation was remedied last weekend with the installation of the new ARC rings.

    Suppressors and first shot, cold bore, impact shift from warm barrel sight-in?

    WCB, thanks for the reply. 1) the rifle was purpose built for the suppressor, I have not shot it without it. 2) shots on game were consistent, pulled to the right enough to notice on all three 3) two were shot from about 5' above ground, one about 20' from a climber 4) I did go to the range...

    Suppressors and first shot, cold bore, impact shift from warm barrel sight-in?

    I got my first suppressor last summer and hunted with it last fall. On three occasions my shots on game were a little bit to the right of where I thought I was aiming. All three deer were cleanly harvested but it made me wonder if it was me or the rifle, my first DIY pre-fit build in 308...

    Kuiu Proximity Review

    Wore the pants opening day in KS last season, very comfortable and warm however not very durable. Mine lasted one hour before I ripped them on briars getting this buck out of cover into the field. KUIU did warranty them for me and sent a replacement pant without hassle, will be wearing them...

    Arcalock rail v Arca-Swiss

    TK, thanks! I'm looking at this set up: https://www.amazon.com/Leofoto-SA-324CL-MA-40-Carbon-Tripod/dp/B0BRTGDPPS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3KT21MMDB4MXE&keywords=SA-324CL%2BMA-40&qid=1693320328&sprefix=sa-324cl%2Bma-40%2Caps%2C118&sr=8-1

    Arcalock rail v Arca-Swiss

    The hog saddle is removable and the ball joint mount has an Arca-Swiss clamp. I'm reading as much as I can about this but my original idea was to mount an Arcalock rail on my rifle and then use the BOG tripod. It appears I would have to replace the Arca-Swiss clamp with one from Area 419. I...

    Arcalock rail v Arca-Swiss

    Am I to understand then that the Arcalock and Arca-Swiss are similar in dimension and are interchangeable but may or may not be to the exact spec as their is not currently a "spec" as you mentioned?

    Arcalock rail v Arca-Swiss

    I received the BOG Sherpa Bipod as a gift and I'm wondering if I can make it work with a pic rail adaptor and keep things simple, otherwise I'll need to put an Acralock rail on my rifle and look at a different set up. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/102461622?pid=788872 with this adaptor...

    Arcalock rail v Arca-Swiss

    I'm looking to get a bipod that I can use with an Arcalock rail and I see some that are listed for Arca-Swiss, I really don't no much on this subject and hoping someone can inform me. Thanks in advance!

    300 WSM vs 300 win mag

    Belts are no problem to reload but it's best to size with the shoulder head spacing instead of the belt as designed, potential for better accuracy. That said, belts have no place on modern cartridges (history: the belt was devised for the 300 H&H as it did not have sufficient shoulder to...

    300 WSM vs 300 win mag

    For a 16.5' set up, I'd skip the WSM and go 308.

    Christensen Arms Modern Hunting Rifle

    I think they are trying to create an alternative to Gunwerks but at a fraction of the price. For that money, you're much better going with a custom, you can build a DIY with pre-fits for under 4k. This one for example in 6.5 CM Defiance/Proof/McMillan/Hawkins/TriggerTech

    Carbon Fiber Barrel Engraving Recommendations

    This is true but I've bought three Proof pre-fits but they don't always align, my 308 is under the stock and you can't read the chambering, my others are ok.

    Weatherby Model 307 (“New” Action for Weatherby)

    Weatherby still has their Mark V action which is unique but does not appeal to me, their Vanguard is basically a Rem 700 clone for the most part so why not design their own action on the 700 pattern just like everyone else...Defiance, Terminus, Impact, etc.. The 700 is hard to beat and the...
