    In general, if you get upset or defensive when anything critical is said about a brand, it's because you have your ego tied to your gear choice.

    Swfa models NLA

    So it's set for midnight cst? That's way past my jammie time. Anyone want to stay up and order me a throw lever if they are restocked? Maybe a 3-9 or two? Plus a 6xmq?

    Recommendations for a 7prc Suppressor?

    I have tried an enticer sti and nomad lt on a 20" 7prc. The difference in sound and recoil is very apparent with the larger nomad lt being significantly quieter and lower recoil. I think 7prc/mag is where you start to see a bigger difference in small, lightweight hunting cans vs full size. I...

    SWFA throw lever

    I wish I had seen this a couple weeks ago. I ordered two MK Machining throw levers and neither of them fit. The hole drilled for the screw is off, so they wont tighten up on my 3-9. I am not sure if I will be able to make these work with a dremel a file, but I might as well try. I reached out...

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    Nah, he's got it figured out. Back up until those wounding misses turn into clean, wild misses. Then you don't have to track anything.

    6mm CM Hornady Factory ELDX Velocities...

    I lost nearly 100fps in a different lot of factory 108eldm. No change in 100 yard zero or precision. If I wasn't chronographing them, I'd have no idea. Between that and my 7prc, it's enough to make me throw my hands up and say, "Fine, I'll fricken handload if you're going to be like that."

    Best current deals on tikka donor.

    I got a quote from one of the cheap options on wikiarms.com for $708 for a stainless 8tw 22-250. Personally, I'd go stainless if it's close. Might get more for the barrel takeoff.

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    I'm new to this, so I've never actually seen it and this might be a dumb question, but what about bullets coming apart in flight? Does anything make it to the target? Does it always happen at the muzzle or could it happen right before impact in some anomalous case?
