    Not sure how to feel about Tribal Hunting…

    If it went to the Supreme Court I think Gorsuch would try to find a way to give Oklahoma back to them. It's so interesting that he's a boilerplate conservative other than native rights.

    Scope caps for my maven?

    Yeah personally I see the stiffness (which does loosen a bit but remains harder to open than other caps) as a good thing. I don't want them coming open for any reason other than me opening them. I use Aadland caps for all of my scopes.

    My rifle scope saga continues…

    FFP or SFP? Seems the FFP easy button would be a NF SHV F1 4-14x50 or a Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 (if you're lucky and the Maven is in stock soon, who knows). But both would be $1200-1300 so over budget. Otherwise probably SWFA but for a rifle that nice I'd personally just stretch the budget for a...

    700 footprint, non-90 degree?

    Impact (737R or NBK) w/ 75 degree bolt, Terminus actions, Aero Solus, GAP Tempest, and BAT Hammerhead are options that meet that requirement. Unsure how many of them are BDL compatible though. Personally I'd just go with a detachable magazine with the right bottom metal.

    Rem 700 Pattern .223 Trainer Rifle Recs

    Kind of depends what you mean by trainer. I guess Bergara rifles are alright but they don't seem to have the same reputation as Tikka as far as consistency goes. Seems like a bit of a lottery. What does trainer mean? Same general stock ergonomics, weight, balance, and all that? 90 degree bolt...

    Build components for lightweight rifle

    What exactly do you want out of it that you couldn't get with a Seekins Element + NF scope + bipod?

    “Backfire” hunting challenge fail

    I wonder how much of that actually went on. Cortina said in the intro to the second video that those guys had their Kestrels out beforehand so that would be a solid start for their wind.

    Why I won’t buy a Tikka

    If someone coughs within a 50 foot radius of my rifle I want both the trigger and bolt to become inoperable. OP needs that early Defiance action + Jewell trigger combo.

    The results are in: 2024 Silencer Summit Sound Test

    Well TBAC has historically posted their suppressors on all sorts of platforms/cartridges. Just need other manufacturers to do the same. They always just post numbers in the video description if you don't want to watch the video (it's boring/repetitive testing). Since the Magnus, Ultra-9 Gen 2...

    Not groundbreaking, but notable to have multiple manufacturers agree upon mutual testing standards for any comparisons. When they normally just do specialized tests to push their products and rarely do comparisons. That's valid. Though implying a bunch of suppressor companies don't understand...

    I guess if we want the rest of the picture we'll have to cough up the money to buy a subscription to his website to view his testing results. The Summit comparisons are good enough for me not to do that but can see why he'd dislike someone doing large scale comparison testing for free.

    His stuff is certainly advanced but he's also selling subscriptions to his site to view his in depth testing results, isn't he? At the end of the day, he's selling a competing product (his testing). TBAC are a suppressor company that are also selling a product but at the very least they got some...

    Gunwerks Elevate 2.0 bipod?

    Think that's the first Tac Ops I've seen on Rokslide. Very nice.

    My best guess is someone had one lying around. Probably Ray from TBAC from his past comparisons on Youtube. If Silencerco wanted to send some more to the test I have a very hard time believing TBAC wouldn't let them. Heck, there's a Q suppressor on there. If someone's been more of a prick to...

    I think it's voluntary participation from companies. I guess Silencerco may have not thought it was worth sending some cans over. Or maybe (unlike the other manufacturers) they objected to the methodology.

    I feel pretty damn good right now about steering my friend towards an OCL Hydrogen-L 6.5 can since TBAC was out of stock everywhere a couple weeks ago. I was basing that off the 2023 Summit results but seems like it aged well.

    Gunwerks Elevate 2.0 bipod?

    I saw in the original Rokslide review of it in 2023 it was mentioned they were working on an ARCA attachment version. Wonder what the timeline is for that these days.

    Bullpup Hunting Rifle

    With the Desert Tech people dislike the different ergonomics of running the bolt, the triggers in bullpups tend to be more convoluted and less crisp, and they're heavy for hunting. Oh and their magazines are proprietary/annoying if memory serves.

    Running an Arca Rail on Your Rifle

    All of my rifles have full length ARCA rails. My bipod attaches to the rail (and can be positioned anywhere on it) and so does my tripod.
