    Maryland SWAT Team Serving Red Flag Warrant Shoot, Kill 21-Year-Old Man Asleep In His Bed

    Knock the door in, lamp falls off table onto floor, causing the bulb to pop, pop sounds like gunfire, amped up 1st entry cries shots fired, surprised and lethargic target is getting up from couch, real shots fired, dead target. Less than 5 seconds from door breach to target down. No room for...

    So I bought some cheap digital Night Vision toys.

    It's a very nice scope, but before spending any money on a used night scope, you need to look through it first to see if it has any damage spots, not buy it sight unseen. Traditional NV tubes have a lifespan and your taking a chance on where that refurbished tube is in it's lifespan. It could...

    Like any new pc of gear, you need to read the manual and play with it before going into the field. I know, easier said than done ! It has a nice wide FOV and image. You'll get the hang of it and it'll become second nature getting it set up in different weather conditions. For viewing, You want...

    So I bought some cheap digital Night Vision toys.

    Travis is a great guy and has some very good prices on some quality NV that you'll get nowhere else. I've bought a few NV scopes from him and would've purchased my thermion xp38 from him, but I ended up getting a good deal directly from pulsar because of my trail scope issues. I didn't know...

    So I bought some cheap digital Night Vision toys.

    Well, I don't want to rain on your parade, but the reason for having a spotter, is the bigger field of view for scanning. A 4X base magnification has a very small field of view at closer ranges. Most of the thermals being offered now a days, are made with the recommendations from the vast...

    Wanna Shoot Like John Wick?

    During CQB, it's sometimes the only way to fire, so it's a training technique that should be taught. Like the man says, it's just another tool in the tool box. When I first tried this technique, I used a pistol with a laser. Made it a lot easier to get my muzzle angle correct and know I wasn't...

    RPR 6 Creedmoor Barrel Swap (Instructional)

    Excellent post's. Now your in the brotherhood of the barrel nut, albeit a ruger barrel nut. Been working on savage rifles for over 3 decades and learned that the world is your oyster when you don't have to ask someone to work on your rifles. While your shooting your newest barrel, it's time to...

    6 Creed barrel smoked? Opinions?

    While I don't have any experience with the 6 CM, I have replaced/cut back many 6 dasher and 6br barrels that looked better than that barrel. OK for plinking, if that's your intended use. Many factory barrels are good, but after you try a quality barrel, you'll use that factory barrel as a tomato...

    You can get a used spotter for less than $2k and seal the deal with the NV scope. I use my thermal spotter's all year long. Great for knowing whats making that noise before the sun rises while in your deer stand and I've used them to find deer that needed to be found after dark many times. I...

    I warned you about trying thermal ! Don't worry, you have two kidneys and the surgery isn't that painful. You can also take a loan out to pay for it. Spotting with a thermal and ending the deal with a NV scope has worked for me for a long time. SJC

    New Savage Elite Precision rifle

    Shot timers

    We used the CED7000 for about 6 years and are switching over to the AMG-LAB commander timer this year. I bought a 7000 timer a few years ago and it's a great timer, but the screen is very small and the internal battery never gets better with age, but it can be replaced. The AMG timer is the best...

    New Savage Elite Precision rifle

    If I didn't build my own rifles, I would look into the bergara B14 HMR/HMR Pro and Tikka T3 model rifles. I've shot and worked up loads for friends that own them and they all shoot and function great. Savage rifles are as or more accurate than most any rifle being built today, but the magazine...

    That blind is good. If you still have snow in your area, Make a snow cover for it and you'll be golden. My hunting territory is snow free most of the year, So a sled is a no go for me. If there's enough snow, I use snow shoes and a snow cover for the blind. I try to stay as light and portable...

    Nighthawk Custom Korth NXR .44 Mag. Revolver

    I've been hounding Korth/Nighthawk to make an 8 round 9mm cylinder conversion for their .357 models when they started selling in the US. Freaking hard headed Germans want to sell in the US, but give us models made for their shooting disciplines. Boring. They think they can put rails all over the...

    If you have sole access to the spots your hunting, You carry it in once, set it up and leave it there, preferably looking over a bait pile. Add some snow camo when needed and your set. I do have a liteweight pop up I carry with me at times, but only when traveling in the UTV or very close...

    Opinions wanted on double Barrel Shotguns

    I have many shotguns, most are O/U 28ga and english stocked, as I upland hunt a lot and you carry your gun more than shoot it. My go to ruger red label is 4.5 pounds loaded and is a joy to carry, but I'm not shooting more than 1 round of clays with it. That's what my heavier 725 is for. O/U in...

    Also, Are you hunting out in the elements ? If so, you should look into getting some type of 2 person lightweight pop up blind. Perfect for keeping you out of the weather and hiding your movement and scent. If you set up a bait pile, a good pop up braced for snow and wind can actually make it...

    Excellent job and now that the NV parasite has been ingested, it's all downhill from here for you :-) Clip on's are great for the person that has one rifle, but that weapon needs to have a full rail to mount it. Some clip ons can be converted for use as a spotter too, so double duty. Some people...

    Sites that specialize in discontinued optics?

    If you want a scope that's just plug and play for under $400 shipped, I would recommend the sightmark Photon XT 4x scope. 2 AA batteries, with a not bad onboard IR light that's good to around 75 yards at max pwr, but it also will eat batteries when using it at the high setting. Most use an...

    My newest(2018) is a Pulsar trail XQ50, but that headed back to pulsar for some service last week. I know the issue I have with it can't be fixed, so I'm hoping to make a deal for a Thermion XP38. Before that I had an Apex XQ38, but that ate CR123 batteries like pez candy, so I sold that to get...

    need some help with an older S&W 686 revolver

    Me too, I cut my teeth working on S&W, colts and a ruger every once and awhile. To me, Working on Revolvers is in the same league as working on a carbureted engine. Not much to them and when you get them running right, their dependable and simple to maintain. SJC

    So I bought some cheap digital Night Vision toys.

    For the part time hunter, digital is the way to go. You don't have to worry about blowing tubes, they run on std batteries and the price is usually right. I have older thermal and DNV that have no bell & whistles and a newer thermal that has it all. I started out not caring if I got my kills...

    would you spend $900 on a pocket knife?

    For my 50th birthday present to myself, I bought a Spyderco Military Ti fluted. I later changed the stainless clip to an aftermarket low profile titanium clip.

    You just doubled your chances of getting something. You should also look into baiting. As the temps get colder and game gets scarcer, they'll be looking for an easy meal. I set up a pop up blind 100 yards away.(More $$$$ spent) Helps control scent and keep you out of the elements. SJC

    Go on U tube and look at some videos of how to take a S&W revolver apart. Buy the correct spring kit from wolff or wilson. If your going to take it apart, you might as well install the spring kit. Buy some spray gun cleaner, take your revolver apart and clean the shit out of it. Install the...

    The PVS14 guard is cheap. You can find them on Egads. Your going to have to test how long it'll take to get your eye back to normal before switching to the scope. If you keep the brightness setting on your mono dim, you can still see the reflection of eyes from a long ways away with the IR. Just...

    Great scope and mono writeup. The better more adjustable IR light will do wonders for your focus and also for the scopes battery life. For not spotlighting your face when coming off the scope, buy a PVS 14 shuttered eye guard. It fits right inside the scopes rubber eyepiece. For adjusting your...

    You pretty much have everything covered in the Puny caliber area. Before I sold my SRS, I was going to invest in the 37XC cartridge invented by David Tubbs. It will have to be loaded single in the SRS because of it's OAL. Since I have 375 and 408 CT's, I didn't feel the need to go that route...
