To test our TranQuilo's can-to-can repeatability, I had one of the guys shoot this 5-shot, 5-can group. On a 22" Siete 308, JM lined up five random M308 cans, put one on and shot one round, he then removed that can and put on the next and fired one shot, etc. Just making sure the early adopters will be getting expected quality.

I'm still amazed at that, it's a fantastic price point. I'm sure I'll get to play with one soon. The bossman has more than a few LaRues that need one. |

Mark, how 'bout a TranQuilo in 6.5 mm?
30 caliber cans are a little louder when used with that caliber. |

A 6.8 caliber can would cover both of those quite well IMHO. |

That being said, it really depends on the ammo you use and you may have to play around with buffers and springs to get everything dialed in. I would run what you have first and then see if there are any issues that come up. Don't be upset if they do, but it's usually easily fixed. |

Not to hijack the thread but how's about some more info on Siete?? And what're the odds y'all could do the barrel up in a finish to match the Tranquilo?? I'm drooling just thinking it up.... |

Looking at his spotter's TranQuilo with an enemy bullet hole shot smack through the side of it ...
"Son, have you still got that other TranQuilo in your pack? " "Damn straight Sarge." "Quietly drag it out and put it on." 
ETA - In the interest of full disclosure, dad was a submariner which makes me a career Navy brat, and my machine shop rarely comes under attack.

Doing that in 5 consecutive shots on the same target with different cans to falsify data and achieving the grouping in the OP would actually be quite impressive and require a very talented shooter to nail those varying POI shifts. That would be a lot of work to deceive potential buyers and my guess is that LT is too dang busy for that sort of group doctoring, not to mention a lack of integrity of which I don't see ML approving of. |

I think a boxing match would be awesome, personally. Me vs. You, $15 per ticket. Can you imagine the stoopid amount of revenue that would generate!? Now that! Would be epic. Win or lose, I'd do it in a heartbeat. We can use 16oz gloves and mouthguards, (no sense in either of us paying dental bills), and the rest of the gear and rules are up to you. Serious offer! I'll donate 90% of the proceeds to Children's hospital or St. Jude, if I win. You do what you want with yours if you do. Now that! Would be a fun event! |
