    Curious if anyone has any data on how long a proficient shooter can go before they aren’t as proficient as they were. Military or civilian, how often do you have to shoot to maintain proficiency?

    Magic “what size rings / mount does your scope need on your rifle“

    I have an ATACR 7-35x56 scope I want to mount on a rifle with 20 MOA existing rail. Has anyone found a *reliable* “will it fit” tool that shows if a mount will work for a particular scope on a particular rifle? (Short of buying multiple mounts and trying them).

    "Binocular" rifle scope?

    In the "so why don't they..." I heard a conversation about why doesn't any company build a binocular rifle scope. No idea on my part other than double the cost. Has anyone here ever heard of such?

    "Wet Suppressor"

    I've read several articles on 'wet suppressors', adding a few cc's of water or wire pulling gel can dramatically reduce the sound out of a suppressor. I have a QDL suppressor for my M107A1 and would love to reduce the report substantially. Has anyone here who has a suppressor actually tried...

    Barrel forensics (ok it's a movie)

    Saw the tail end of a movie, where the suspect happily surrendered his weapon (same caliber as the murder weapon) to the police for forensics testing, and it came back a match for the caliber but negative for his gun.... But he did it with that gun as we found out in the end proudly displaying...

    Is .300 Blackout a “Dying Round”?

    I was looking at a .300 BO and told its dying and not worry of investment. While it’s is similar in some degree to 7.62x38, I don’t see this as a dying cartridge. Agree or disagree? If you disagree, what’s a good alternative for personal defense weapon.

    7.62 x 51 is not compatible with .308 ammo?

    I was just told the Federal XM80C 7.62x 51 will not work in a .308 rifle at a big box retailer. I’m pretty sure I’ve fired both “.308” and 7.62x51 out of my .308. What am I missing? Is this the equivalent of 5.56 vs .223? I think the clerk is wrong.
