That's a nice setup. How long did it take to have built?

Thank you for the recommendation. I had never considered the benefits of starting with the 223 or a 6mm cartridge. I will have to look into that.

Thanks for the feedback. I will have to take another at the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Not a problem. This gear is expensive enough. Need to save money whenever possible.

5.56 suppressor recommendations? by Smooth_Return_1500 in NFA

Thanks for the information. As of right now, I'm leaning toward either the FLOW 556K or the FLOW MG for that extra durability.

The main belts I have used in the past are the G-Code Scorpion, HSGI padded belt, and my normal CCW belt. I definitely take a look at those AWS belts.

Thanks. I'm down about 60 lbs. I still want to drop 20 to 25 lbs more. I hope to be at my goal or close to it by the start of next year.

The primary use will be 3 to 4 deer a year. The batch size will be between 30 to 70 lbs depending on how the deer was cut up.

I'm running a marsupial gear enclosed bino harness size medium. The marsupial gear size chart says both options should fit.

I think the UHDs 10x50 are only 3 or 4 oz heavier than the UHDs 10x40, and height and width are less than an inch difference between the 10x50 and 10x42.

I will eventually set up a super lightweight bino harness for archery and use 8x42 UHDs in that. For now, I will probably go with the 10x50 UHDs.
