    Silencerco Scythe TI review

    Anyone have the SC direct thread mount/knows how much it weighs? Curious if it’s worth getting over the DD direct thread mount (1oz I believe) Also - Is there much downside to running a 30 cal end cap with a smaller caliber like .223? (Is it worth getting a 30 cal flat end cap and a .223 flat...

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    Been stated here before, Glock 29SF/Gen4/Gen5. Works on people, bears, and can be concealed easily. Real comfortable to shoot (pinky extension on 10rd magazines), easy to manage. If you're open carrying or using at home, 15 round magazines work too with the slide on grip extensions.

    Tikka T3X Lite, Compact, or Roughtech - Compliment to AR10?

    Hmm. I would really like stainless. 7RM seems like a bit of a compromise between 308 and 300WM? Not as bad recoil as 300WM, but gets me out to 500 yards or so still staying 1500 ft lbs. With a limbsaver and hopefully a suppressor most of the time 7mm rem mag seems fine. I’m a pretty stout/built...

    Tikka T3X Lite, Compact, or Roughtech - Compliment to AR10?

    Yeah I’ve been looking at the rough tech. Seems like a 300 WM might might more sense as a hunting rifle to compliment the 308 AR. Would use the 300 WM for longer hunts, backcountry, and bigger game. 308 would pull deer/antelope and shorter range hunting. when I hunt out of state, it’ll...

    Options for reducing Tikka T3x recoil

    Your hearing aids when you’re 70 will be a lot more expensive than these if you’re out shooting any 30 cal guns without hear protection, braked or unbraked. Concussion and transmission through face bones is still a consideration, although much more so for someone standing to your side than the...

    Options for reducing Tikka T3x recoil

    I think shooting any rifle that’s not suppressed without ear pro is foolish if you want to keep your hearing. Particularly with the electronic ear plug and muff options available that allow you to still hear normal sounds, conversations, twigs snapping, animals, etc (can actually amplify these...

    Tikka T3X Lite, Compact, or Roughtech - Compliment to AR10?

    So last year I went down a bit of a rabbit hole building a super lite 308 AR style rifle. 2A Arms Xanthos Receiver set, JP LMOS BCG and Buffer setup, Faxon 18” Pencil Barrel, and Brigand Arms Noax Carbon handguard are the highlights. Shoots really well, and the JP LMOS system is sweet (quite...

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    The 3-15x VX5HD is only 0.8 Oz heavier than the 2-10x VX5HD, so really negligible. I am considering the NXS 2.5-10x though, it’s 20.5 Oz

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    Pretty settled on 3-15 VX5HD. Looking at the NF NXS and Swarovski Z5i as well, still in the price range. Seems like NXS is more reliable but might be finicky getting it to focus and setting parallax. Swaro might have a bit better glass, but about same reliability as the Leupold? Any other...

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    After looking through the scopes in low light, I definitely want an illuminated reticle (Firedot) so that rules out any older scopes.

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    No cans allowed in commiefornia sadly. Brake will just make the short barrel even louder. Recoil shouldn’t be too bad on the AR with the JP SCS, LMOS BCG, and adjustable gas block.

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    It is interesting how a few decisions can really affect the weight of the rifle. If I switched to: 16” barrel instead of 18” (-3.5 oz) No flash hider (- 2 Oz) VX3HD instead of VX5HD (-5 oz) No Bipod (- 8 oz) That’s 1lb 2.5 oz difference in weight right there. Or 10.5 oz not including the bipod

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    I looked through them both a lot more. In low light, the difference (improvement) in the VX5 became more apparent the longer I tested them. Particularly noticeable was the better eyebox and how it was easier and quicker it was to get the target sighted and in focus. So I think I’ve come full...

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    So I bought both the VX3HD 3.5-10x, and the VX5HD 3-15x. Deciding on which one to return. I’ve been able to look through them a decent amount. VX5 has a more forgiving eye-box it seems. Little less picky about exact eye placement to get a sharp image. Not a ton better than the VX3, but a...

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    How did they break exactly? Obviously you’re not recommending them, but from Emory how did the eyebox compare on the VX3HD 3.5-10 vs the VX5HD 2-10? Was the 5HD noticeably/usably clearer? I’ll look into the Nightforce

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    2-10x VX5 weighs 18.9 oz, 3-15x weighs 19.7 oz, so very little difference. 2.5-15x Trijicon weighs 22.9 oz, which is starting to get too high for me. Almost 9 oz more than the VX3HD

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    Thanks for the input! Are the 2-10 and 3-15x VX5s? And the 3.5-10 and VX3HD? How do you feel the eyrboxes compare? Would you say the VX5 is worth the extra $300 and 5 oz of weight?

    2-10x vs 3-15x Hunting Scope

    Trying to decide on a scope. Will be going on a lightweight AR10 18” hunting rifle in 308 (about 7lbs without a scope or ammo). Max range probably 350 yards, for deer, elk, pronghorn in the west. Currently live in NorCal, but hunting Colorado, WY, SD, and Nevada are all on the table. Probably...
