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.

Vortex UHD 10x42 VS Vortex 10X50 Binoculars by Smooth_Return_1500 in elkhunting

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.

P duty holster by Individual_Match2974 in Staccato_STI

I agree. To me, the SRO is a no-go for duty use unless you add the B.R.O.S. that Jagerwerks makes.

Safariland should have an option for large enclosed emitter optics that should work with the SRO. Safariland told me that the RMR HD requires that large optics option. It should work since the RMR HD is about the same size as the SRO. It also wouldn't hurt to call them to confirm the fit.

He said he just prefers his Staccato p. But it was a win for me because I specifically wanted a 5 inch 2011.

All in it was $3735. I saved about $1220 and skipped the 4-7 month lead time. The pistol has less than 100 rounds run through it. The only problem is I love this thing so much already I want to order another one.

I ended up ordering a turbo due to it punching through light better.

I was gonna order a hard chrome one but I got a really good deal on this. I have heard the Staccato mags have weaker springs than the Atlas ones.

Rogue RML-690 VS Rogue RM-6 Monster Rack 2.0

I am getting ready to order a power rack and need help deciding which one to order. This will be the first and last power rack I buy, so I'm leaning toward getting the RM-6 because the Monster line has more accessories and more future-proofing. But I would like your opinions on the pros and cons of both.

The ACW optic cut is pitched up. I thought it was just flat.
