    The Hobbit Rifle

    Sorry I'm just getting this. I caught a temp ban for bad language in regards to our overlords at BATFE. It feels and shoots wonderfully, the break action is smoothing out considerably and plenty accurate for my needs (Hunting 100yds>). I'm using a 1-6x ACSS reticle and can stack shot after shot...

    The Hobbit Rifle

    In my example accuracy is quite good. It's a .300blk, not exactly a precision cartridge and I was using AAC 220 "subs" that averaged out to 1123 fps in these groups. Using an ACSS reticle at 50 yards off a bag. If I recall correctly they use Bergara barrels.

    The Hobbit Rifle

    I have the Midwest Industries Alpha on my CVA. 1.5lbs, probably not as light as others but it folds and offers a lot of adjustment. Folds either way, plenty of LOP, cheek riser, and butt up or down. Quite nice.

    PSA: Something weird going on with Liberty Optics.

    Yeah Vortex definitely stands behind their products! Durability from drop tests are one thing, but they'll make it right if their product fails. Shamus has been all over the place trying to clean this mess up and done so admirably imo. Shame about Scott but he's a human after all.

    PSA: Something weird going on with Liberty Optics.

    Tikka T3X spacers/increasing LOP

    I might just do that, I'll see what kind of filaments I have when I get back to the house and do some research for what would work best that doesn't require an enclosure. I have plenty of PLA but don't want somebody out hunting in subfreezing temps having them crack.

    Q - The Fix

    Personally, none. Like I said I wouldn't give them a dime but there are a lot of photos of bad welds on their cans and posts about other issues out there. For a smaller company charging what they do I expect (close to) perfection. Item #3 is my biggest gripe. He will take care of you so long as...

    Opinions on Tikka T3X vertical grip accessory

    Wouldn't go without it! Very comfortable.

    Q - The Fix

    I wouldn't give them a dime. Overpriced stuff with poor QC and Kevin is a world class prick. Lots of issues with that company.

    I have never seen anything like it

    I'd wager his optic setup is loose or he bought a cheap/rimfire scope without thinking about what the .450 recoil would do to it.

    Bore cleaning

    Run a patch through it to get out any factory gunk and just shoot it. You're more likely to cause accuracy problems damaging your rifling during cleaning than glean extra accuracy from "breaking in" the barrel. Shoot it until groups start opening up then clean it.

    In-line Fabrication Lever

    Big upgrade for my rock chucker. The extra leverage and rotating handle are great, takes some of the strain off my injured wrist too.

    How far away can you smell deer?

    I'm in my second whitetail season and smelled a bedding area (probably doe) before I walked up on it by accident. It was pretty neat to a newbie.

    Forward assist or nah?

    In the Marines I was trained to hit it every time so I still do. Don't know if it's ever been needed because I do it every time whether it needs to be hit or not.

    300 BLK in AR

    This is my thinking with my budget Hobbit rifle. I'm in southeast Indiana where shots are generally under 75 yards. Using 110 Barnes at 2300fps should do great for my use case.
