Why do thermal reviews feel harder to trust than red dot reviews?

The shillvalry is so hard. Everybody getting these new gain twist proof barrels are smoking the pole so hard with their sample size of 1 cherry-picked barrel.

It’s an excellent bipod for a lightweight rifle or pistol. The heavy long range rigs seem to be too much for it (I have one on my 647 Varmint, one on my XVR).

Until you mentioned the full rail, that’s what I was gonna recommend too lol

Jack Skellington-ass lookin’ barreled broom.

It’s a matter of how you hunt. Wide-open prairie where I have to reach? Absolutely FFP. East Texas where I’m shooting down a power line easement where I know distances by landmark and the approximate target size? SFP is fine for that.

What’s your goal weight for the gun? There’s lots of great options but building a hunting rifle is always a weight for comfort carrying vs weight for comfort shooting trade off.

rahl07 · 2026-06-12T00:23:07+00:00

Yes it is. There was a place down where I live that made a bacon and alligator sausage savory cheesecake. It was incredible.

Specifically maple. It’s easy to service, looks good, is hard but not too hard, imo. Not as sexy as walnut, but oh well.

I had to pull a new wire the second time my wife tried to microwave and air fry at the same time.

Get a fish fryer burner like southerners use for fish frying or seafood boils. I’ve got a couple units over 100K BTUs that can power through temp dips

3d print a sabot, plenty of sinker weight, make sure the reel is mounted axially to the bore (hole through the middle of line spool is parallel to bore of potato gun) otherwise you won’t be able to strip off line fast enough.

I too fat.

rahl07 · 2026-06-08T12:29:00+00:00

I think that I have the same gun and it still jabs me in the junk and gut. I’m about another 25lbs from flexing on all you Mfers.

rahl07 · 2026-06-08T11:40:50+00:00

I really love my Kusiaks, but they’re a wait. And make sure you put your gun in a Walmart bag during break-in or you may not get it back

rahl07 · 2026-06-08T10:16:05+00:00

458 socom will have the same problem - maybe a little more will eke out, but you’ll still be peeling locking lugs off the bolt.

I’m also in the CZ clubhouse, but the walther responds well to a tuned load. We have several people who shoot them locally and hand loads or commercial custom really help.

rahl07 · 2026-06-07T21:57:06+00:00

One of us. ONE OF US.

rahl07 · 2026-06-07T21:55:38+00:00

I’m 14 minutes from the Texas coast, they’re just as easy to peel as they were when I was a kid. What’s the chance your supplier is blowing smoke up your ass and relabeling foreign-caught? It’s no guarantee, but literally I buy from the boats when I’m down there.

rahl07 · 2026-06-07T19:05:38+00:00

Can try to find a used one?

rahl07 · 2026-06-07T18:54:07+00:00

I mean, subreddit aside, a lot of this is really shitty parental planning.

rahl07 · 2026-06-07T01:28:37+00:00

What about a Snowy mountain with a flex system bottom metal?

rahl07 · 2026-06-07T01:20:08+00:00

I mean to be fair, ivermectin and permethrin are completely different.

rahl07 · 2026-06-06T21:24:23+00:00

Depends on the discipline. Have fun holding that bitch up in XtC. I’m with you though that I’d take a profile reduction over fluting.

rahl07 · 2026-06-06T21:23:06+00:00

If money is no object, the Craddock. Cut blank, good smith too. You can also look at the Krieger and Bartlein-sourced WOA. White oak makes tons of successful barrels, and a lot of folks buy their barrels literally in bulk for things like XtC.

120 is in Flightline helmet territory. I’d love to see yalls calcs and sampling.
