Longer rail systems provide longer iron sight radius, no barrel shadowing with white light and better stability possibilities offhand and w/bipod. Bipod is more and more stable the further forward...

Boy I know what you mean by the OM stuff. Going to attend my first Winter Field Day with them. Good thing I have other plans and people for the time and place.
Find a cable/frequency attenuation...
Re: Baofeng encryption and wideband freq transmit... it's not leftovers. It's business laziness and lax FCC enforcement.
It is extra work to exclude frequencies and modes in firmware and stock two...
DMR radios can feature encryption and yes every single one of those brands I mentioned have some encryption capability available or can provide low bandwidth capability to analog radios.
People...
Ham radio club or even GMRS repeaters can do that for two people with all-in $100 of handheld radio+mobile mount antenna. Works as long as repeater has power and few other repeater users are in the...
I don't believe it's the analog Baof's everybody is buying.
It's the encrypted DMR and unsigned HF digi mode traffic... Radioddity, Baofeng, Ailunce, Motorola, SignaLink, etc. But most of the...
I put some serious highway miles on EB F150s.
PRO: Freakin sporty in Sport mode. First time I drove an unloaded 3.5L in S mode I had a grin from ear to ear. The 2.7L is no slouch either.

Pic of the first turn on my fav personal grill of late.
Ribeye or hanger steaks seared on an Oklahoma Joe XL chimney topped with a stainless round grate. Lump mesquite or hickory hardwood blend. ...
On dreams...
Since my being awakened I have very few dreams that are not 100% interactive. Interactive with darkness and with the presence of the Father of Lights, God. There are unmistakable...
Yes, the majority is in place to limit/stop the terroristic actions we are seeing in the cities across the country.
No, the majority is not in place to do anything about the coming consequences...
Looks like they pared SS 1-4s down to just that one non-HD option. 1-4 HD was available capped/uncapped starting 2011.
I guess used is the only option, they run about $600 on the usual places.
You'll be happy to know that for the last couple/several years they've offered capped or even capped-only on their LPVOs. They call it their "Undercover" turret feature.
Tagging on the Bushnell recommmendation.
Bushnell 1-6.5 SMRS family is solid, there have been 3 generations to date IIRC: original SMRS, SMRS gen2 and now SMRS II.
The first gen FFP reticle...
Yes, DMR is a protocol that can be simplex, duplex, repeated, trunked, etc. Radio range is same as analog but with clear/"full quieting" throughout the entire reception range.
DMR is also "quiet"...
Analog gets noisy (EMI) and faint as it gets to the edge of simplex operating range. Not always easy to discern what someone is saying.
If you were still getting a pair of HTs... DMR simplex...
It depends on your existing users and infrastructure.
I used duty P25 radios for years and I'm sold on digital advantages.
If analog/DMR radios were available and affordable back then, yes I...
Yeah, I'm not a Baofeng fan but they I have their place. The FT-60 is a solid classic but the FT-65 bridges the FT-60/Baofeng price and quality gap.
I like your plan for two handhelds if you keep...
I would look at the big picture for yourself - storage size, use across several different platforms, easy setup, easy interface, etc. If you're not already using things like end-to-end encrypted...
Howa listed weight on these (attached screenshot) is 5.7lbs.
The Tikka JRTXE312C mentioned earlier is listed at 5.9lbs by some...
The older Tikka .223s came in multiple twists down to 1:12, always good to double check.
To be clear, the videos I reference are in his pay-for Vimeo video instructional series, not his sponsored vids.
Maybe he had a reason when he video'd his current skill video series. XD series.
.308 AR10 types are almost as hard on glass as an FAL. Don't skimp on rings. Unimount style works well with continuous rail.
NF SHV 4-14x50 F1 might be around the $1k-for-a-deal range. If 5...
I've owned an XD, maintain XDms for a few people that depend on them. I'm well aware of and respect Cowan's opinions.
Personally not a fan of the specific grip safety design, shark fin LCI -...
Agreed on both counts!
