@Ugly Dog: I like the idea of the Vais, as it directs a good portion of the noise forward. Are there others that do that as well? BTW, I just saw (today) several of them in stock at Brownell's, although their website appears non-functional. Maybe closing out...

I have a T3x Superlite in .270 Win. It kicks like a mule, making my 300 WinMag look gentle. After about 20 shots at the range, I literally have multiple bruises, and can't shoot much more than 5 more rounds. I put a Limb Saver on in, but it was not really much of a change. When hunting, I...

So, I need to know if I just made a mistake. I thought I ordered the VX5HD 3-5x44 for my Weatherby Vanguard 300 Win Mag, BUT the shipping notice shows I ordered the 56mm version. Should I send it back and order the 44mm, or just keep it? 56 seems really really large.

@gr8fuldoug - For how long is the promo, I'd like to do some research? @ARCaveman - Have you compared A:B the Vortex to the VX5 in real-world conditions? I ask only because I have a few higher end Vortex binos and spotters, but the clarity has not quite been as good as some other friends...

I just picked up a Tikka T3X Superlite in 270 Win, and a Weatherby Vanguard in 300 Win Mag. Gonna be using the Tikka for deer, or plains game, and the Weatherby for Elk, or similar sized game. I'd like to stay in $1k to 1,500 range for each scope. I will most likely limit live target shooting...

BTW, this may help: https://www.amazon.com/NORICA-PISTON-DRAGON-HUNTER-SHOOTER/dp/B01M8OM3ZL Also, you can call GJAirguns for both the seals, as I believe they can cross-reference them.

Thanks for the info! Can't believe it's almost been 9 months since I posted it. So, is the "tuning fork" assembly really needed? Could you push a circular object into the piston end, or is there a rod in the center that needs to be avoided?

Open for elk, or any plains game. Bow or rifle. Even if I can't get a tag, would still love to get out of town and breathe some fresh air... Almost tuna season here, so gonna scratch that itch.

I like the weight of the XLR, but when you add on all the $ from grip, stock etc, it comes close to this: https://christensenarms.com/product/modern-precision-rifle-chassis/ which I have held/seen, and would rather have.

Thanks for the info. Several of those companies have lots of options. I had planned on getting the Geiselle trigger, and few other select components, it just seems parts are a little scarce, but can be had with a little patience. In terms of barrel quality, any opinions on this model upper...

I've decided to build my first AR, as opposed to buying a complete unit. I've watched vid's on what mistakes not make, etc. As I live in CA, there are certain restrictions, and I do NOT want a featureless, so I'm going to get a...

This may be a stupid question, but I'm genuinely asking as I have little knowledge in this area. Is it a better idea, since I'll be changing the stock anyway, to buy a better quality barreled action? If so, any recommendations for a higher quality manufacturer who has them available?

Sorry, should have been more clear. I didn't mean more accurately, I meant more consistently, without loss of performance. I have very limited experience with the intricacies of the chamber design, but the analytical part of me sees using a reamer as making clearances larger, which would be a...

I'm looking to get a Ruger American 22-250, which is 1:10.

So, when one reams a .223 to Wylde, what dimensions, other than freebore change? And, if you are cutting out material, how does that make .223 fire better (according to many)?
