    Action shooting - 3 gun/multi gun/USPSA/IDPA/etc. post your videos, discuss techniques & gear

    Pertaining to gear: Most shooters put all their gear on the belt. A few years back, I bought a DeTurk vest from Invictus Practical because it seemed to me to be the best way to add a large number of shotgun shells without tying up a big portion of belt real estate. It came with a simple chest...

    Action shooting - 3 gun/multi gun/USPSA/IDPA/etc. post your videos, discuss techniques & gear

    It's been a while since I ran a camera at a match, because the one I have adds some bulk to my earpro. I need to get it back out for this summer and get some new video. The Generation 3 Gun match in Missouri is always a superb event.

    Vortex Viper PST 1-6 - AR15

    This has not been my experience in a large part. I have a couple Vortex Razor 1-6 LPVOs. Very usable at all magnification ranges. I bought a used Burris RT6 and it did have the issue that you describe. I contacted Burris and sent the scope in, they sent me a new one that is usable at all...

    Long Range Rifle/Scope/PRS question(s)

    You could get a 20 MOA mount and add a little less than 6 mils of additional elevation. ETA: Looks like someone else already mentioned this.

    Vortex Viper PST 1-6 - AR15

    It is significantly better than the Strike Eagle 1-8. In fact, the Strike Eagle 1-6 is better than the Strike Eagle 1-8. There are optical compromises made to get a wider magnification range, that can be mitigated somewhat by engineering, design or using better lenses. The 1-8 strike eagle...

    22 ARC a better Mousetrap?

    6 ARC brass seemed impossible to find a few months ago in any kind of quantity so I just ordered 1k of the Hornady match ammo. I'm still waiting on my Bartlein barrel from Compass Lake so I have no idea how it shoots yet. But if it shoots well I will probably just keep buying factory ammo. I...

    AR15's question

    I agree wholeheartedly and I don't really see what the higher end boutique ARs bring to the table with the exception of a few little upgrades that I like because I'm OCD but I would contend that they aren't really necessary. For example, I don't like handguards that clamp to the barrel nut with...

    AR15's question

    I have some very inexpensive ARs and some that cost quite a bit more. They can all have their own niche depending on what you want to use it for. Palmetto State Armory is really hard to beat for a basic utilitarian carbine. I have used a lot of their parts to build rifles, and they have all...

    BSA scope opinions

    There are some great cheap optics on the market today. For a magnified optic I wouldn't go less than $150-$200 dollars. BSA, no. Burris, or Vortex are my go to for less expensive optics. Vortex Razors are the nicest optics that I own. Definitely diminishing returns once you get over $750...

    ATN THOR 4 640 battery mods or replacements?

    You can run an external battery pack through a common USBC cable. So if your internal battery ever fails, you can buy a cheap phone charging battery pack and run the scope that way. While I prefer the AGM Rattler that I have over my buddies ATN Thor, that is an insane deal on a 640 core...

    Thinking of going with a AR 15 2O inch barrel.

    If a round doesn't want to chamber, the last thing I want to do is force it farther in, possibly making it a much more problematic stoppage. Rack that bad one out and go with the next round in the mag. The only time I use the forward assist is to seat a round as silently as possible while...

    Thinking of going with a AR 15 2O inch barrel.

    Put some grease on the outside perimeter of the spring. It cuts down the sproing noise significantly.

    Thinking of going with a AR 15 2O inch barrel.

    55gr in a 1-7 twist will do just fine out to 300. In fact you would be ok to 500+ but wind deflection on the relatively low BC 55gr bullets will be your biggest problem beyond 500.

    Thinking of going with a AR 15 2O inch barrel.

    I had an 18" on a 3 gun rifle that was a really sweet shooter. Shot a ton of matches with that thing, and it was really a sweet spot. Wound up going with a 16" Larue Stealth barrel after that 18" was shot out. Would have gone with another 18" but decided to shave a bit of weight, even though...

    Thinking of going with a AR 15 2O inch barrel.

    I have and enjoy a wide assortment of barrel lengths in AR15s for different purposes. Rifle length gas systems are a bit smoother. But there are no concerns about 'receiver battering' with shorter barrels. You might see reduced bolt life with an overgassed 16" or shorter. But most people...

    I Made an Impulse Buy

    I have been using MEAN Arms Endomags with a CMMG Banshee radially delayed blowback 9mm and have not had any reliability issues at all. They work well if you want to use a standard AR15 lower with a 9mm upper.

    AR-15 reliability

    Mine have all been boringly reliable including some race guns with the gas turned down as low as it will go and still lock back on an empty mag.
