It's a solid platform but... IMO, because it's utilized by Spec Ops and featured in video games. The dress up boys drool over this, to satisfy their daydreams of being an operator. The HK 416/417 fanboys are even worse...

I shot 4 squirrels this morning so I know it aint too off, 3 of them were one shot kills, the last one had a few misses. That's what made me want to get it back in the vise with the laser.

Still not a fan of shotguns for myself. I'm good with my pistol for home defense. It's meant to buy me time to get to my 300Blk anyways and I can maneuver around corners a hell of a lot easier with my pistol & 300Blk than I can with a standard shotgun anyways.
Biggest problem I see from ppl watching a video like this is a lot of them won't train with their shotguns thinking it's easy to use so they won't be familiar with how to clear jams or reload quickly while under duress.
I get you but folks don't don't practice! I know for a fact that a 20GA will do the job for close personal work, without the kick that 12GA gives you. FWIW I have an 12GA, AK style...the kick is totally manageble for re-acquisition IMO. I've seen a number of folks that can't handle a pump properly without being a liability. Not hating on 300BLK at all but without practice...IJS
We're practically saying the same thing about ppl not practicing. My biggest concern is ppl assuming shotguns are easy when in fact they require the most practice cuz of their specific limitations and characteristics. Tv & movies got them fucked up with unrealistic expectations
How do I get one of these?!?
Scope still off, shooting high right from afar. I set up a 6" gong & silhouette and kept missing with scoped .22lr. Did hit a good shot from about 100 yards standing freehand, that was cool.
I also sighted in AR's with red dots so I try the AR pistol and it's off to the right, too.
Couldn't hit steel consistently even from about 10 yards. Frustrating I need some sandbags or a gun vise to get this shit right.
I own a CTK Precision P3 Gun Vise... It works. The "Protektor" is my favorite though.

I also own several vises with the sand bags (Bulls Bag).
You gotta get rest, Bro... It's hard to get the accuracy without them, because a small movement from the bench can translate to a large movement down range.Several?
Damn, I'm lacking
Yea, I'll start looking for a used shooting bench and gun vise
They're out there, Bro.
A lot of the old stuff is better made than the new stuff.
eBay has been very friendly to me.
Not that I could ever think of. Especially in civilian life. I do of know a few weekend range operators that are completely kitted out.
Eve
Ever try Craigslist?They're out there, Bro.

I've sold things on Craiglist, but I haven't bought anything.
Yall treating yourselves to some firepower for Christmas? Thinking about the sig 365 or ruger 57 or psa rock 57. Maybe another AR
Thinking about a 22lr pistol... even though I don't celebrate Christmas.
Hell nawl, I'm on a budget. Thinking about selling some stuff.
I usually do, I'm not too sure about this year.
Oh you went out there and did a John Wick on those tree rats!I shot 4 squirrels this morning so I know it aint too off, 3 of them were one shot kills, the last one had a few misses. That's what made me want to get it back in the vise with the laser.
I tried to get all three in the pic, its hard to see the 3rd.Oh you went out there and did a John Wick on those tree rats!
Whats funny is how they run when they see me, sometimes they look at me when I got the scope on 'em and scramble like hell. One time a squirrel was running, jumped from hickory branch to pine branch, starts coming down branch toward trunk & facing me. I up rifle and he turns around and runs back to end of pine branch & jumps to another branch. Lol
Then other times it's like 5 squirrels in the same tree and I get to sniping.. and the others don't really move much. That's when I'm able to get a few in one sitting. Usually when I'm using subs.
Speaking of... where y'all getting subsonic from? The few I had I found at Dick's years ago and just kept them.
Great battle belt option. I have one that I use for my home defense setup.
I have my eye on picking that vise up too for rifle cleaning and initial scope mountingGood deal?
Tipton Ultra Gun Vise - $100

That looks like a great vise for cleaning and bore sighting. But, I'm not sure if it'll work at the gun range for actually sighting the rifle in.Good deal?

Your gun vice has to be steady enough to handle the recoil from larger caliber rifles.
Yeah I wouldn't trust that for actual range shooting. Like you said, it doesn't look like it'd stay steady enough to be able to get a valid zero. I'm fortunate that there's a free indoor range with 100m lanes for rifle here in Raleigh that's run by the county. A number of us from the local NAAGA chapter take advantage and go there for zeroing our rifles and testing reloads
You and these battle belts. Man, I like making do or re-purposing stuff I already have. I want something I can just throw over my shoulder and run out the house with, with one of these strapped to it and maybe a couple handgun mag holders
Trying not to give in to consumerism, but you got me thinking "would I really use one?"
I plan on training & practicing with my carry holster not something mounted on a battle belt.
Hmm, not sure
I take my own vises/bench rests with me. I know how to use my equipment. That takes all of the guess work out of the equation.
