you won't be disappointed with the TX-22. I picked up the comp version a while back with the threaded barrel and optics plate. With a suppressor on it makes for a super fun plinker.

HMR

didn't catch that part!

Was in your shoes a year or so ago and ended up with the Bergara B14 and a vortex viper PST Gen II and haven't looked back. Although I have considered that MDT chassis that is in the classifieds......

Selling off some extras I have laying around. All prices include shipping but would make a deal for a local deal Lead & Steel LP-1 - $285. Zeroed and used for less than a hundred rounds then sat in the safe. Don’t think I have the box. No significant scratches or dings and glass is cherry. https://i.imgur.com/z4i9ZVp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kMMWLcu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IE9GX6J.jpg Sig P365 factory grip module with mag release -$30 Gray Guns p365 laser sculpted frame with mag release - $60 https://i.imgur.com/wFfbbTi.jpg 16” Stainless Steel fluted barrel assembled upper with midnight bronze cerakoted SLR rail and rugged muzzle brake. Put 300-500 rounds through the barrel and maybe 50 on the build as a whole. Barrel came off my first rifle.[](https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/2-vets-arms-lrrp-semi-automatic-rifle-.2235.56-16-barrel-side-charging-30-rounds-free-float-rail-collapsible-stock-black-2va556lrrp/FC-851401004100.html) barrel has been accurate just don’t use this configuration at all. Cerakote is rubbing off high spots on the rail. Barrel is from a 2vets arms LRRP rifle $320 https://i.imgur.com/K0I8T1p.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rggeROV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/omy9r57.jpg https://i.imgur.com/A3Ctt22.jpg https://i.imgur.com/t062wCI.jpg

Keeping my pvs-14 on the L/XL helmet so just looking to move the helmet itself

I've got a Team Wendy LTP bump helmet in coyote M/L I just "Upgraded" to a L/XL to fit my giant head.

If you haven't checked out their rally rats content on youtube you're missing out!

Give Mill Creek Overland a call in Nolensville, Albert and team over there will get you straightened out.

This is going to drive the recommendation for sure. I have been in SW texas and it has been as easy as driving the side by side to the blind and waiting at a feeder for them to show up. The only real heavy lifting is pulling them onto the bed of the side by side when needed.

Haley strategic flat pack is a simple backpack that has the ability to add a chest rig. Alternatively you could always put the female buckles onto a backpack strap that had webbing and attach the front panel of the chest rig pretty easily. Dirty Civilian just posted a youtube video about this a week or so ago.

I have a few of the TN Arms Co polymer lowers from a few years ago built up. I haven't had a single issue with them. If you are going lightweight I think the KP-15 setups are tough to beat. Also a very slippery slope where you start losing your oz/$ pretty quick.

for a couple hundred bucks you aren't going to get any sort of handheld NV that is worth it. I would actually look into an outdoor security cam with "Night Vision" that you could monitor on a phone. I have a Wyze outdoor cam and it does pretty good at night in the woods, only caveat would be is that the camera needs WiFi so that's a must have

Ive got two of the Jackery Explorer 240s each with a 60w panel. Something in between the 240 and 1400 would be pretty nice to have

man sad I missed these.

have a few smaller jackery systems to run basic lights/charging/etc. while away from power. They have been good to use and fairly quick to charge with a couple solar panels. Also got a larger 1400W EcoFlow unit that can power a full size fridge/freezer in the event of a power outage. So far have been happy with both. The smaller units are probably shoe box size while the larger one is 2-3x the size and nearly 30lbs.

We are in the same boat and just got one perhaps a month ago. So far done all sorts of veggies in there but the fan favorite so far has been simple panko coated chicken fingers. Simple egg, flour, panko breading makes a great host for whatever sauce you're going to use. I have heard salmon is great in there so that is on my list to do

Not going to lie I would spend the $100 from the night sight budget (plus a little more) on a decent red dot. Shooting with irons at night is going to be tough, even tougher at 100-150 yards. In order to get positive ID out that far you're going to need a good white light so you're already in $150-ish minimum there (Streamlight HLX). I tend to lean toward if you can't see your sights how can you see your target? If it is just for quicker sight acquisition I think a dab of paint would get you the same result.

would love a 457 in 22 WMR. Have one in 22LR that I dropped into an MDT chassis and that thing is a blast to shoot.

I picked up some sorel caribou boots from sierra trading post a while back on sale and this past week they have been great out in the snow and cold. Wear a single pair of merino socks and have been good to go. I got mine for sale during the summer, right now is probably not a great time to find a deal on winter boots. Always the option to get some surplus military mickey mouse boots. They run $60-$150 depending on the vendor and the size.

nice price on the total package.

I have found the best strategy is simply forget about them. When you get the call it's like a surprise christmas.

I think I've got a few laying around, PM me some trade ideas. Open to anything (AR bits, glock/p365 stuff, ammo, knives, whatever) could also add $ on my end.

Agree with John on the lower. Unless you are getting ambi controls there isn't a lot of difference between the parts. I like the Aero M4E1 series as they have some upgrades that make assembly a bit easier with the addition of set screws rather than roll pins. Most impactful piece you will notice on the lower is the controls and the trigger, I would go cheap on the lower with an anderson or PSA Mil-Spec and spend the money on a nice radian safety and larue MBT trigger.
