    How Much energy is too little?

    I mainly came here for the show... but I've harvested a mule deer at 80 yds with a Ruger Blackhawk chambered in 30 Carbine... 110Gr RN to the dome, he never moved.. but the bullet didn't exit, so I'd say that's minimum.. lol 🤷‍♂️ Probably wont try that again, but I fully intend to harvest one...

    Long Range Reticle Thread

    March FML-TR1 in 4.5-28x52 FFP Illuminated center crosshair & bold pointing horizontal bar makes it usable on 4.5x for closer shots, by ~8-10x you can use all the data easily. I have an old ~2010 vintage Shepherd P310-A1 3-10x44 w. 18" circles. It has served me well to ~600yds on mule deer...

    What suppressors do you guys like?

    Enticer S Ti over the *L? Just preferred it for length & handiness?

    Length of pull with some aftermarket stocks and whats your preferred LOP

    I don't think this difference in technique is covered enough & how we setup our rifles. I used to shoot a lot of competition 3 Position smallbore. rifle but in "pocket of shoulder" heavily bladed stance, no external rifle support New(er) PRS / Competition method rifle but on collar bone, as...

    MDT HNT26 Chassis - Field Opinions?

    She's kinda together... I can't find my darn action screws. MDT is hooking me up with some new ones. With the heavier action & optic the balance point is a little far back. Right at the front end of the ejection port. With the suppressor(also kinda heavy) it balances just behind the hand stop...

    MDT HNT26 Chassis - Field Opinions?

    Unfortunately not... Still waiting on my action. Apparently when Joel tells you "6-10 weeks" it's close to 30.. I'm at ~26 weeks now. I'll slap it all together for pics & post as soon as she comes in. 👍

    MDT HNT26 Chassis - Field Opinions?

    That was me, shaving every gram I could... but wouldn't give up the Terminus Zeus switch barrel @ "37.76 oz." I also need I lighter can with mine @ 18.87 oz, The Enticer L Ti @ 10.5 Oz would be lighter & quieter

    Talk me into or out of buying a suppressor, please.

    Look at it like automotive world, would you go out to your car right now & cut the exhaust off? A lot of us did it in our youth, but now have learned we don't want to listen to it for an 8 hr road trip, or every day to work. I places the NFA doesn't exist it's considered rude & ungentlemenly...

    Factory Lightweight rifles for western hunting.

    When I started researching my custom build I did a lot of research, forums, podcasts, etc. One of the more interesting ones were the Gunwerks "Long Range Pursuit" Podcasts. Don't get me wrong, they are smooth salesmen, but the balance of portability & shootability was a topic they covered...

    Factory Lightweight rifles for western hunting.

    Another thing to keep in mind is optic weight, rings & glass can weight a lot. There's some fixed power ultralight optics out there but most want variable magnification. This is a spreadsheet I made this summer over a few optics, I struggled between "lightweight" & "want full competition...

    Barrel - Carbon vs. Fluted vs. ?

    I ordered a Terminus Zeus Short Action(only because the HNT26 isn't available in LH LA) & QC barrel tenon. Joel had standard thread LH SA's sitting on the shelf, but I thought the QC would have better versatility if I decided to go different route, 300wsm, 8.6 blk, etc. & I like tinkering with...
