    rifle and suppressor - ATF Form 9

    Maybe this helps someone wanting to bring their own gear to SA vs using PH’s equipment. Two steps: Customs: CBP 4457 to declare your personal items. I had both of my rifles and suppressors on there. It probably wouldn’t have been a bad idea to put binos or other expensive gear on there too...

    rifle and suppressor - ATF Form 9

    Seems there’s more than 1 Form 9 5320.20 is what is needed for temporary export. 5320.9 that had me confused is for permanent export Still confusing. Elon has a lot of wood to chop to get to gov’t efficiency.

    rifle and suppressor - ATF Form 9

    Has anyone taken a suppressor abroad since September 2024 and had to fill out ATF Form 9 and get approval? I went to get my CBP 4457 today for a trip to Africa and the agent advised me to contact ATF about requirements for the suppressors. An email to ATF got a reply that I need to notify the...

    Sirui VA-5 the one

    The va-5x doesn’t have a push button release in the base. It’s a solid oval nub in the middle of the camp to prevent plates from sliding out once tension is released. Arca plates with a flat bottom do not fit all the way - only clamped by a portion. While I have several Surui plates - they’re...

    Looking for Range finding binoculars recs

    I have the vortex and sig kilo 10k gen1. The tint really doesn’t bother me and I like the info on the sig better (AMR mainly) but for the price the vortex is the better buy, better glass perhaps and the wind feature is nice.

    6.5 PRC Berger performance

    I use Berger 156 and my only complaint is 2650fps with a suppressed 18” barrel. They’re accurate but slower than I’d like but much of that due to opting for an 18" barrel

    Best zero degree down bags

    I’m I’m sure they don’t use that BS EN test rating that can greatly over state how warm other brands are as your message states. Compare fill weights. Temp ratings are subjective. U may be cold, me not. And women’s bags at the same rating can often be rated as less warm than a man’s bag of the...

    Best zero degree down bags

    Not all 0 degree rated bags are equal. The rating system is an absolute joke and subjective - read the details. Do you want a true 0 degree comfort rating? WM or FF are two top choices whose rating is the comfort rating and conservative. Most 0 degree bags have a comfort rating much higher...

    How are you training for long range?

    Smart to do cold bore. Angle has messed with me recently. Every range is flat. Shooting up or down 15-20degrees changes the range vs LOS. Would save time to practice with changing angles because seems chances pop up at the most inconvenient of times and it’s just seconds to get a shot.

    Ab raptor vs scythe vs enticer s ti???

    I have a raptor 6, 8 and a scythe ti. While I like the mounting system of the reflex - I can get my hand on it to take on and off - no tools - no reflex 2, 3 or 4” makes a 6 as quiet as a flush mount 8. Some say it changes the tone but I don’t think it drops dbs much if any. Oddly, my 6 with...

    Suppressor wait times getting faster

    1 week on a Scythe Ti that I bought b/c I got tired of waiting on when the Raptor 8 I bought would be in after ordering it in May. Naturally, it arrives a week later. Hope the form 4 approval is just as fast again

    An etiquette question

    what about hikers enjoying a peak? had some come up to me as i was getting my shotgun out and putting my rifle away during fall bear. I told them I saw some grouse and planned to have them for dinner. shot 3 about 200' away from where they were taking in the scenery. I think i ruined their...
