    Awesome, thank you. Glad I asked, I was about to order regular.

    New SG bino harness is on the way ...

    Looks like the Regular size will fit smaller frame rangefinding binos such as Vortex Fury/ Revic/ Sig, am I reading that correctly? And the large is for larger frame rangefinder binos such as Leicas? If anyone can confirm, I appreciate it.

    New SG bino harness is on the way ...

    So the side pockets just stick on externally via that Velcro patch? Or do they have a channel that the wing slips through, then Velcro to secure them in place?

    Gunwerks 6IX+ Titanium Suppressor

    Still waiting on mine. Called about 2-3 weeks ago and was told the “repair” was done on mine and it was headed to refinishing. Haven’t heard about return shipping yet though.

    Converting a tikka to .223

    Post a pic and let us know how it turns out. I’m in the same boat too, want to put together a left hand Tikka 223 at some point

    Gunwerks 6IX+ Titanium Suppressor

    Thanks for the update. Apparently I’m not on their comms list. Glad to hear we should be getting suppressors back soon

    Is it just me or does Rokslide cause shrinkage??

    Haha yeah. The thing is, if I had found this forum and his posts at the start, I’d be thousands of dollars ahead at this point.

    Left hand vs right hand

    Yup. Hard to ignore that. I just spent the last 4 years self-justifying my decision to buy and use right-handed bolt actions when I am left handed and left eye dominant. I have come up with all sorts of justifications in my head of how I am “pretty efficient” using a right handed rifle on my...

    Anyone have these? Maven RS1.2 (SHR Mil), Steiner T6Xi (SCR and MSR2 Mil)

    No worries, I replied in a rush otherwise I would’ve actually given you some links. Looks like someone dropped some links below. If you find that the Snipershide thread dedicated to the Steiner T6xi series there are some good pictures in there. I purchased a T6xi 3-18 MSR2 thinking/hoping the...

    Anyone have these? Maven RS1.2 (SHR Mil), Steiner T6Xi (SCR and MSR2 Mil)

    Check out the Long Range Hunting sub forum on here and you’ll find reticle images for the Maven in the reviews and threads dedicated to that scope. Search for Steiner reviews and you’ll find some on here and SnipersHide that include reticle images. Summary: get the Maven, the reticle options...

    Alright, about to bite the bullet and place an order. One question for @Unknown Munitions or @Stockys: will the “texture zones” be over or under final finish? Specifically, if I order single-color Cerakote, will the stock be entirely that color or will the texture zones always be black or...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 new model

    I always used a flashy fingernail polish painted on my climbing gear instead of the classic tape. So I guess basically the same as folks here- just choose your own wild fingernail polish color for thread locker and that’ll be the distinction!

    Steiner T6xi 3-18x56 MSR2 Mini Field Eval

    Some important general take-aways from performing my own drop evals: The test rifle system matters a lot. In this case, a short, carbon-barreled .308 is probably not an optimal choice. The scope rail on my Nucleus isn’t permanently bonded, the action and chassis aren’t bonded, and those little...

    Steiner T6xi 3-18x56 MSR2 Mini Field Eval

    Sure. I did a second condensed drop eval as follows: 30-round zero group was around 1.8-2” on that day (not ideal for testing purposes), and I went straight to the 36” drops as per the eval. The group remained centered but appeared to open to about 3”. A 10-round zero confirmation group...

    Ballistics on RF bino or not? Fury 5000

    You will be disappointed in the optical quality of the Fury 5000 in comparison to your Mavens. When I got into hunting I needed binos and a rangefinder. Bought the Fury 5000 non-AB version. I use 4DOF for dope on notecards for my specific locations and atmospherics. I simultaneously fell in...
