    Tell me to shut up and buy the Tikka

    Sorry, I meant 527. If you’re loading beyond factory length, I can see the miniature bolt-guns being an issue, but most won’t do that. As for me being against a Tikka, I didn’t intend to convey that. As I posted earlier, a .223 T3x is my favorite rifle to shoot. It’s by far the best value in...

    Was this in reference to the 537 or L461?

    Tell me to shut up and buy the Tikka

    I like your thought process on the Tikka. Not long ago, I was in the same boat. For your purposes, there’s really two ways to go. 1. Get the Tikka. Deal with the extra action length. They really are superb guns. A T3x in .223 is my favorite rifle to shoot. Financially, this is the...

    AR SBR build

    At 8.5 inches, I’d go with 300 BLK, 338 ARC, or 350 Legend. For use inside 100 yards, you could likely go even shorter in barrel length. Good luck!

    WTS Mini-14 Accurizing System

    These little rifles have always fascinated me. Good luck with the sale. On a completely different note, a dream gun I've long wanted is a version of this carbine built as a miniature Garand. How cool would that be?

    SEAK mountain goat lessons

    Fantastic post. Thanks for sharing the lessons. Sounds like an amazing adventure. I was in SE Alaska last year for a boat-based September bear hunt. It's maybe the prettiest place I've hunted. I foolishly expected good weather, but it rained almost continuously. As much as I love backpack...

    Warning about Silencer Central

    Hate the company all you want, but if the goal is to quiet a .223, I don't know if you can beat the Banish 223. According to Thunder Beast's 2024 Summit Sound Test, the Banish 223 was the quietest can tested on a 16-inch 5.56 AR. If there are any flaws with the can's design or construction...

    Warning about Silencer Central

    I've not messed with their large cans, but the Banish .223 on my Tikka is my favorite suppressed rifle to shoot. It's not a featherweight or dinky can, but it's impressively quiet. I've taken my 2.5-year-old daughter on prairie dog hunts, and she doesn't even look up when I shoot. I wish my...

    Warning about Silencer Central

    I don't understand the hate on Silencer Central's can. The Banish .223, Banish Backcountry, and Banish .22 are good suppressors.

    Exactly what size do you need? I’ll send you an adapter to use until yours arrives.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    For $200 and a bit of lathe work, you can have a 12-inch portress AR barrel in 1:8 or 1:9 twist. Buy a 20-inch barrel from Green Mountain (I mention them because they're not nitrided, cut here, and thread for a can.

    the best 243 win bullet

    Between 2007 and 2011, I used the .243 a lot, exclusively with Sierra's 85-grain HPBT. Between deer, antelope, coyotes, and pigs, I think only one animal ever took a step after impact. That was a giant California boar with the thickest shield I've seen. The bullet penetrated the shield and blew...

    Best compact suppressor?

    You could chop the barrel to 16 or 18 inches down the road. First, buy a quality suppressor like the Scythe-Ti. You'll love it. Another option is the Banish Backcountry, which is a tad smaller and louder, but I mention it because they have a "Buy One, Get One" (BOGO) deal going, so you can add a...

    Sold CZ 527 300 Blackout Rifle w/ Mcgowan Barrel

    It's a delightful action. The backwards safety kept me from owning one for years, but I finally snagged one and love it. Mine is a .17 Hornet; next up is a .223. The only other issue with the 527 is bolt handle clearance, which necessitates high scope rings. I pray nightly for a Rokstok for the 527.

    Sold CZ 527 300 Blackout Rifle w/ Mcgowan Barrel

    Cool rifle. If it were a .223, I'd snag it in a heartbeat. Is that group from 50 or 100 yards?
