    Origin vs Solus

    I just ordered a Solus...I used to seen them as low as $650 but I think $725 is where they're going to be priced on sale. The lightweight version is currently only available in Long Action but the last few days a lot has been added to their site so it could be available again soon. I've only...

    Things you have noticed in the gym

    I go to a small gym that has some HIIT (think discount crossfit) and my class is usually me and 3-4 incredibly attractive women in stretchy pants. I don't dare "notice" anything but I still look :ROFLMAO:

    Tikka T3 build

    I think I'd just buy a new Tikka in 6.5CM with the $75 rebate. There are several sites that offer "email pricing" I've seen stainless 6.5CMs for around $715 (plus shipping) plus an FFL will charge a fee but luckily the rebate will generally cover those costs. Still cheaper than messing with...

    considering a solus chassis...which size?

    That was the reasoning my buddy used earlier today too I stumbled upon the Aero Solus in FDE on sale last night and then learned they have overrun gov contract barrels for cheap so I did some girl math and spent some $

    considering a solus chassis...which size?

    I'm spending $ I don't have on sales...I am considering a Solus Chassis and was curious if on which to order 15" or 17" Barrel going on will probably be 24-26" for now but very likely will be chopped down after I get bored with it. Purpose will be 95% target/steel/rocks with 5% hunting from a...

    Lem vs Meat your maker vacuum sealer

    I've had troubles with the plastic getting very brittle in the freezer more so than not sealing. So be sure to use good bags and keep the folds/kinks out. Even when I do keep mindful of the issue, I still get bags that fail and freezer burn so I don't trust it for anything long term. I've...

    Sitka friends and family?

    Go to EuroOptic. They're purging everything Sitka so that's probably the best price without a F&F code

    6.5 PRC Load with 147 ELDM

    H1000, N565, and RL26 are seemingly still the standards but I see Hornady has load data listed as 47-54.5 which you have probably already seen. I think the trend is that it's not a speed demon but 4831 is known for consistent loads so if I were you I'd load up a ladder test to find max and then...

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    I've been meaning to try some 95, 103, or 108s out of sheer curiosity to see if there's a bit of room for accuracy improvement. Having about 1200 of these 106s that Midway had on sale last winter makes them the ideal bullet for lots of shooting...very cheap. I considered grabbing a 243 with a...

    Tikka 223 73 vs 75 vs 80 eldm

    I started looking at 75s and realized they're not going to fit in a magazine for my 223s without stuffing them deep into the case while I'm told the 73 and 80 are better fits for 223s with short magazines like ARs and Howa Minis

    Maven, Leupold, Trijicon, NF

    As mentioned on another forum, I'd drop down in zoom ranges. Being zoomed way in on targets is ok but it's easy to lose sight of the target at the shot and then can be hard to find when you're at 25x. I'd go with the 2.5x-15 Maven or a 3-18 Tenmile HX

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    They do alright...this is a 1.2 MOA rifle in a 10+ shot group. This particular rifle isn't a "shooter" but it'll do well for my needs at killing deer. I think I'm going to drop down to a lighter bullet and save the tougher 106s for a 6GT or 6CM

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    6mmARC with 106TAP. 325 yards. Impact Velocity around 2175 admittedly the shot was high. I was shooting off sticks to get above the vegetation so it was a bang flop

    Altitude help

    There really isn't a replacement for being at elevation for extended periods of time. Don't waste your time with elevation training masks...not to mention you'll probably end up on some sort of watchlist when people see you outside with one on. :ROFLMAO: Working on your endurance and lean...

    A question for the gunsmiths out there

    I've seen these patterns in barrels before but only in low quality stuff from Bear Creak Arsenal. That's my only experience with those patterns. Things sometimes slip through the QC process but probably not on a 6BR build

    Used Garmin Chronograph Prices?

    I can't say that I've seen a used one for sale...they've made other used chronos drop in price so maybe consider a used MagnetoSpeed or a traditional chronograph if $ is scarce. I've seen a few Xeros new for like 20% below the standard $599 price. I can't remember where but I think it was...
