Silencerco Scythe Ti vs Banish Backcountry Suppressor
I just shot my Backcountry. Noticeably more recoil and noise than my banish gold, obviously. Recoil actually surprised me... There's a good YouTube comparison of the Scythe and based on that I'd go Scythe all day long. -

6.5 creedmoor barrel length
Do you reload? Expect about 2500fps from factory 143/147 gr ammo. I'm getting close to 2670fps from my 18" Tikka with reloads near the top end of acceptable pressure. -

Anyone else been kicked off rocks lied?
Meh. I like both sites. Classifieds and sheer level of activity of RS draw me to waste more time on that site. It's a private website and they list very clear rules about threadcrapping classifieds. Free speech isn't the issue - you're welcome to go outside and yell at clouds. Buyers should do...- Chingon

Suppressor
I soak the baffles in Zep brand CLR, but with non-serviceable cans like my Backcountry I think I'll need to come up with a way to plug the muzzle and fill it with CLR since the Cerakote will get destroyed by CLR, or so they say... -

Buying binos sucks
I've been using the same regular AA battery for a couple weeks worth of hunting. Practically a non-issue. If the battery dies they just become OK binos with a narrower field of view, not a show stopper. And they do make tripod adapters for them. -

Buying binos sucks
The Zulu 6HD 16 power. The glass is "good" but not alpha, but the image stabilization makes it stomp all over alpha glass when handheld. Just saves time/hassle messing with tripods if you move around a lot. -

Buying binos sucks
Yeah I've spent a lot of time behind that exact setup. Marginally better than $900 Sigs handheld. Only caveat is they're more comfortable to look through for greater than 30-45 minutes. I was dead set on a BTX/115mm setup but that's not even on my radar anymore. -

Buying binos sucks
The best glass is the most usable glass. I've always thought I would end up with Swaro NL Pures and a 115mm BTX setup. However, after seeing how darn useful my Sigs were, I never thought to reach for my partner's Swaro EL's or BTX setup. Those stayed put away and I used my Sigs exclusively... -

Rimfire Rifle Recommendations
There are several Youtube reviews where the Springfield doesn't feed and doesn't shoot. Also, there are several threads about guys having QC issues with their Springfield Waypoint centerfire rifles... All manufacturers put out lemons, but so far the customer service demonstrated by Springfield... -

Skip Silencer Central if you have the option
I've had two silencers ATF-approved since April 23rd. Nothing in hand yet... Took them over a month from ordering and paying before they submitted my info (which they already had). These will be my last Silencer Central purchase. Going Silencer Shop for the next ones. -

Centerfire rifles - your path
I'm getting the 219 bore 18" from Ace as well. Nathan told me a couple weeks again Monday. I'm going 22 Creedmoor though. I did order a pre-fit from Carbon Six for a 17" 223AI. But now I'm debating not touching my T3X compact 223 that shoots so awesome and just getting another 223 to play with... -

I agree with that - most Fudds out there buying lightweight 300WM's CAN'T shoot MOA. However, the other side of the coin is that buying a gun is uniquely risky; the buyer is unable to fire the gun prior to purchasing, and once the sale goes through refunds are largely impossible, putting you at... -

All day long if you do your part, amirite? This goes for Fierce, Bergara, CA and all other garbage manufacturers out there: Nobody said they NEVER put out shooters (every manufacturer has lemons), but it's the rate of lemons (CA/Fierce) and how they stand behind their product (Bergara/Fierce)... -

My gunsmith said CA is the #1 manufacturer he gets in for lemons that don't shoot. -

I think CA is the antithesis of Tikka. Tikkas are a bit boring, but just plain shoot and work. CA are all sorts of flashy styles and features, but their QC is abysmal.
