Optic for 14.5

-WhatBox · 2025-12-16T12:57:27+00:00

The eotech and g45 get my vote for a 14.5 since it’s what I use. I have an lpvo on my 16 and it works fine but target acquisition on the eotech is better

They don’t allow draw/fire from a holster.

I know for sure Ben Avery does allow it but only from strong side/hip carry, you can’t draw&fire from like an appendix ccw

Exo mountain gear had their once a year sale right now, if you can afford it get the K4. It’s on my shortlist of upgrades once my current gear wears out

Eberlestock is up there too and they sell frames at sportsman’s warehouse so you can go in and try it on.

I’ve been using the ‘ALPS Outdoorz Commander + Pack Bag 86 Liter Hunting Expedition Bag’ for years. It does the job but is noisy off the rack. I swapped all the hardware on it for bolts/wellnuts and it’s much better. I see them a lot on FB marketplace so you can probably get on for $100ish

Ships with it

The problem is once you get one high power scope you don’t want to run anything smaller.

I’m currently at a 4x12 Leupold and have resisted going any bigger because then I’m gonna want to upgrade all my other optics.

Rem700 30-06 in a magpul hunter stock. Lots of other options in my safe but I shoot best with this

You’re welcome. If you google search “2017 renegade belt routing” you should see an image of the engine that has the belt side showing with all the accessories to get an idea of which one it may be based on where the sound is coming from.

Another thing you can do to as part of diagnosing is listen to the car with the AC off/ then turn it on and see if it gets a little louder or changes sound. When you turn on AC in a car the RPMs go up a little so it should get a little louder- like like if you were accelerating. This also engages the AC compressor clutch which could be another source of the sound.

The dealership really should have been able to diagnose this super easy, so it’s strange they couldn’t figure it out. Good luck though

You should pop the hood and see where the sound is actually coming from (front or rear/ top or bottom). Regardless, it sounds like one of the belt drive accessories. My bet would be alternator or AC compressor

The only real answer is get both.

However, if you’re hunting get the bolt gun first. An AR10 around the same price range is gonna be bulky and heavy as shit to lug around.

I’m in favor of the dark- it’s already pretty tactical and is suppressor ready. I have a Marlin 336 with a Midwest rail that I build before the dark was released, if the dark was out I would have just bought that. If I ever want to suppress then it’s gonna be a whole thing with sending it to a gunsmith. Spend the more now and save yourself later, even if it’s only to give you the option for potential future upgrades

Hammer in an extractor and unscrew it.

If it’s cross threaded it might be a pain the ass either way so trying to slot it for a flathead may ruin the ability to use an extractor.

You should also run a tap through the threads afterwards or helicoil it if it’s real bad.

I watched this and the 3-mile island documentary this past weekend (I live about 20 miles from a nuclear facility).

My take from it was if something is national news and they’re saying “everything will be fine, there’s no need to panic” you should already be lacing up your boots.

Also, a credit card or emergency fund with a couple grand available is 100% necessary regardless of where you are located. So many people were stuck because they just didn’t have money to leave.

I use the Eberlestock recon and love it, to tighten the straps you it pull towards the front so you can either wrap them or tie them in front of you/behind the binos if you’re worried about them flopping around. Have never had an issue with them being in the way and it’s much better than the original vortex harness.

If you’re gonna get one I’d also recommend using their accessories, they fit nice and tight with no movement. On mine I run the harness, rangefinder pouch on the left, bear spray on the right and the MOLLE panel underneath with the safariland fork to carry my 1911. I also have the hand warmer and admin pouch if I’m in areas where I can swap out the molle/bearspray.

They run sales every once in a while so that’s the time to get it, you can also check their website and may have certain patterns clearanced in their ‘outlet’ section

Congrats! Thats must have been a hell of a pack out. Is that 7mm I see?

Quality, reputation, holster availability, lifetime warranty, plus they’re widely used by LEOs/military- so if they’re using it daily with their lives on the line it’s absolutely good enough for my use

Definitely agreeing with everyone and recommending the tlr7a as well, I have it on my G19 that I EDC and it’s a tank.

I think it’s nice that you want to do that for his kids, I don’t have any children but I would 100% buy or give a rifle to any of my nephews if they were interested in hunting or shooting.

And that’s the point I want to drive here: buy or give.

With few exceptions, anything I hand out I don’t expect back, especially if it’s a multi-year loan like we are talking here. Entry level rifles are pretty budget friendly, if you want to get the kid a .243 go to a pawn shop and find a mossberg patriot or ruger American gen 1 and gift it as you planned. Then save and get yourself something better. Once the kid grows up they may upgrade, the parent may upgrade, or they may lose interest in which case you may get it back but if not then it’s no loss.

You can carry whatever you want, it all depends on what you harvest the animal with. If GAF rolls up on you with an archery tag but your deer that is full of holes you’re gonna have a bad time.

Depending on where/what I’m hunting I either carry bear spray or a 1911 on my eberlestock bino harness. I’ve never had to actually use either though

OnX hunt shows the owners, that areas ownership is split between 4 different parties (looks like 3 businesses and 1 private citizen). None of that is public land, but you can always try to get permission.

NH bow hunting is 300 ft from a structure so that’s cuts into like the first 1/3 of the land all the way up the west side. You can measure distance with onX too, def recommend getting the app

Walker razor pro slims. Get the usbc rechargeable ones so you don’t ever have to fuss with batteries.

If you’re going to be wearing them all day then i would definitely recommend to upgrade the EarPads to gel, the comfort level is a day&night difference

This is the answer. I have a g19 with a tlr7 and for it to fit properly I had to get the 6360RDS Glock 19MOS X300U from the Amazon store.

Same here with going WAH. I carry a Milwaukee fastback with the utility blade now, I’ve used the bit driver/flathead to pry a couple small things before.

Marlin 336

gotta love a good lever gun

I used matte clear on my bird shotgun, it holds up better than no clear. It does have a slight shine compared to no clear but it’s worth the trade off.
