    Have J Sipp make you a 6cm for the r8. All the barrels I’ve gotten from him have been tack drivers.

    Hunting in the 1980s and 90s

    I’ll give a southeastern perspective. I started hunting in the late 1980s with my grandfather. Rifles were considered bad. “Too dangerous.” All deer hunting was with a shotgun with a slug or buckshot. Deer hunts were always deer drives with dogs. My grandfather did have an early compound...

    Pigs at night, what optic?

    I’ve demoed the rix. Good quality product. The new pard multispectral is nice too. Day, night, and thermal. I use it on my AR and crossbow with QD mount.

    Leofoto Tripods compared to RSS

    I’ve killed over 20 animals this year off a tripod. The RRS is not triple as good. But hey. That’s just my opinion man.

    Leofoto Tripods compared to RSS

    I guess that’s not really the question he’s asking though. I own leofotos new inverted tripod and I love it. I have tried the RRS ones and I would say they are slightly better. But imo they are no where near triple the price better.

    Suggestions for a shotgun for my boy

    Lots of good suggestions. I will recommend a 28gauge though. Perfect wing shooting caliber. Only place it will lack is for ducks (still can be used) but I find you probably need a dedicated duck gun if you get into it.

    Truck tire question for you all

    Put Falken wildpeaks on my truck yesterday. They look good and felt good on ride home. Replaced Toyo open country. They were fantastic tires and I got 60k miles on a half ton truck. They had really jumped in price so I got the falken for about 400 less.

    I don’t think 5.56 is some magically hard to suppress round. It is they are normally on AR platforms with short barrels. Put them in bolt gun and supressor values should be just as good as they are for larger calibers.

    First Time Elk Hunters

    First elk hunt this year. First rifle in Colorado. Honestly have wanted to big game hunt my whole life. As a kid didn’t have the means. Always hunted a lot in the southeast but nothing else. Focused on career and kids as became an adult. Last year a random Africa hunt came up and I went with...

    It’s possible I did the same. I was using the first dB number on the list. I didn’t dig deep at all. The extra inch of length probably does more to limit noise exposure at shooters ear than anything. Getting that muzzle blast 1 inch further away. But then you have a longer barrel. Tradeoffs...

    I guess my number one attribute of a supressor is how much it supresses sound. I know there are other features that matter, but that is exhibit A. In sound suppression, it was third (unless I misread it).
