	My rifle was too long, so I spent $200 and waited 6 months to make it shorter. Then it was too loud, so I spent another $200 and waited another 6 months to make it quieter. This made it longer again.

I got to test drive a SKEET-IR before we went on our last trip. I wish I could've taken it home with me.

We had 16 Skeetir's and a bunch of UTM's in my company on my last deployment. The performance you get in such a small package is not of this world. BAE has some really impressive thermals and would do some terrible things to have one in my home stable.

I have been shooting 69gr and 77gr TMK with similar groups; 24.1gr RE15 and 23.6gr RE15 respectively through my Rainier Ultramatch barrels

I tried 73gr ELD-M but wasn’t as consistent with them; the tightest group I shot was this, but I just couldn’t get that level each and every time. I’m gonna play with the seating depth and keep at it though

Great shooting and I dig the NF 1-8

If I may ask.. Are you running the SureFire Dual Switch with the ATPIAL..?? Reason I ask is because I’m interested in an Insight M3X and wanting to run it with a Steiner DBAL.. But it seems I’d have to Cut and Splice (Witch I’m NO PRO at).. IF ONLY the ATPIAL also comes with a Green Vis Laser

@Eyekahn, is that load with 77TMK and TAC compressed? I have to load out to 2.260” or a teeny bit over due to the RE15 Case capacity and I still get a solid crunch. Thanks! And if that’s too off topic shoot me a PM

Nope. You can hear powder in the case when you shake it. I’ve gone up to 24.5. Groups opened up though.
