Link to the new material justification... https://exomtngear.com/blogs/article/introducing-k794 Still waiting on the new pack.

Will do. I have been wanting a new pack for quite some time and was looking for tried n true, all-around haulers. I had it down to Kuiu, EXO, and Kifaru. Finally settled on the EXO K2 5500 and then went to order it and found they had the new line. I tracked down all their podcasts on the new...

I preordered a K3 4800, hope it is here soon! Titanium is cool, but if aluminum will do the same thing and be 2oz lighter I am happy with that.

I see no reason to use a given (100 yard) zero, which is much too close of a zero and handicaps quick shots past 200. If I am going for a set zero, on most of my guns I will set it at 200 knowing I am only a little high at any range much past 25yds. Most scopes (with turrets) can be adjusted to...

I have a Ruger MKll in 300 WM (boat paddle stock) that I got as a graduation present. I have probably 2000 rounds through it and it still shoots very well for what it is. A number of years ago (have not shot it much since) it started randomly fire scribing necks, it looked like a micro plasma...

I got a nicely sporterized version from my grandfather that was a lot of fun to shoot and picked up a good Eddystone action I am holding on to in case I ever decide to build a .577 Tyrannosaur :)

I like .33 Thumper better:)

Does anyone know about ordering suppressors from other countries? There was a NZ manufacturer mentioned earlier at a good price. I would imagine if it is serial numbered and we did the paperwork there should not be a difference. That makes sense, but laws typically don’t. Does anyone know...

I see that this is listed and shipping to dealers currently, does anyone have any yet? Eagerly awaiting something other than the Nosler and Hornady brass...

I will agree with yorke-1, suppressors do not fit my hunting preferences. I do have a Silencerco Omega, while it works well in many circumstances, it really does not make enough difference in most loads that I feel I should shoot without hearing pro. The added length on even a dedicated...

Thanks for all the replys and passionate debate! I like to hear all the opinions and experience. I still don’t know what I will build, but this discussion gives me a lot to ponder.

I have heard both glowing and sub-par results on the ELD-x bullets. My results were horrendous, I ran around 100 bullets in different 3-5 shot loads that rarely even approached MOA and some that went 6 MOA It seems like this bullet runs hot or cold, there are probably some mid accuracy folks...

Thanks for all the input! I actually messed up on my thread title (long day...), I was directing it more toward a cartridge pro/con. I was looking for the cartridge with the best (maximum) long range performance out of a standard magnum action. I’m not above doing a wildcat as long as the...

I don’t think it was a bad lot of R22, I ended up going through the end of one lot and moved into a second a good ways before I gave up on it. It has done well in other rifles.

I have been looking at building a new (semi-heavy) long range rifle, and there are just too many options anymore! I am looking at a long (magnum) action appropriate for the RUMs. I have plenty of hunting rifles and don’t compete, this would be a just-for-the-fun-of-it rifle that I may hunt with...
