One is an omega9k and the other is the dead air wolf. Not sure the lengths as I’m not home right now but they are short. The omega9k is quieter but the wolf in K config is still very quiet with 38spl. |

My Henry Big Boy X .44 Mag/SPL is inbound, so this is a placeholder. I intend to throw one of my PERST4s, a Trijicon SRS (for now), and my pistol can on it and shoot for fun and hogs. Update: I was hopeful the gun would show up at my FFL today, but alas, it did not. Maybe Sat. |

The SRS will definitely compliment the "Rusky" look of the Perst. After having seen what you bring to the night vision threads, I'm looking forward to this one. |

I’d like to go all Ranger Point (rail and forearm) but they’re really REALLY proud of their products. Of course, I live 30 min from their business, so I might call and see if they have a show room so I can handle various examples of their products (and maybe one mounted on a firearm) |

  I plan to drive over to RangerPointPrecision tomorrow to check out their MLOK forearm.  I loaded up three 5 shot strings of 44 Mag ranging from middle to HOT and I’m trying to find a recipe for subsonic 44 mag with 240 gr bullets. I need a LabRadar. |

H110- I’ve got a ladder from 16.5 gr (below min) up to 24.5 gr (below max) AA1680 (I’ve only seen a few loads with 1680 for 300 gr projectiles, which I have 50 or so of) I also have a buttload of Titegroup, but I’m not sure how well it would function in this case use. Here it is with the Henry Picatinny Rail, Trijicon SRS, and PERST-4P (vis/IR Russian laser aiming module). Waiting on the SilencerCo 3Lug Muzzle device that is enroute from SilencerShop. Probably arrive Wed/Thurs, then I’ll be able to mount my can! Attached File |

Originally Posted By lilMAC25: H110....AA1680 ....I also have a buttload of Titegroup, but I’m not sure how well it would function in this case use. I was just barely able to get imr4227 subsonic with 300gr jacketed bullets in 44mag, it's similar burn rate to h110. h110 has all the low charge warnings and urban legend associated with it though so I would avoid it just to be safe. Slow powders are louder, so if you're chasing quiet h110 is a poor choice even if it works safely. I've used a lot of titegrouup - hodgdon website has load data for tons of bullets in both 44spl and 44mag. So I had no issue using spl level loads in mag brass and simply adjusted the charge up until I got the sound I wanted, the charge ended up well above the spl starting load and well below the mag max load. Titegroup works great for me but it leaves brass fairly dirty. Bullseye and trailboss are the best powders I've tried - they work well and are very clean. Bullseye makes me pay attention though because a few grains of it can almost get lost in a 44mag case - you need to be very careful not to overcharge! When I use bullseye I charge 50 cases at a time in a tray so that I can look at all 50 at once and eyeball that the powder level is the same across all cases. A double charge is impossible to detect otherwise. Trailboss is the easy choice if you can get it because it's impossible to overcharge. If you adjust your load based on sound you'll probably find that you end up around 1000fps or even slower because noise rises exponentially with velocity as you approach supersonic. ie. 1050fps is significantly louder than 950. Don't be afraid to go slow - I've made ammo as slow as 700fps and had zero issues with bullets getting stuck in barrels. 900-1000fps seems to be where I always end up - I load for minimum noise. Smaller case volume is also quieter, so spl brass will be quieter than mag brass if you load the same bullet to the same velocity with the same powder. Lighter bullets are quieter - I mostly use jacketed 240gr now because the nosler 250rd boxes are about the cheapest jacketed bullets at normal prices and I got a bunch on sale locally last year. |

Yes, the SRS got taken off of my 300 BLK upper because I hunt hogs with a thermal. Lots of people have PERSTs. They’re cheaper and just as effective as US built options that have a similar feature set (and I have some of each). I’ll probably buy a TNVC TOR to put on it, simply due to reduced footprint. Also, I made it to RangerPointPrecision today and I really like that hand guard and I’m gonna buy one. ETA: bought a TNVC TOR MINI yesterday. Should be here next week |

I dont think this is a brains type of operation.

Originally Posted By ENGCPT: Whats wrong with fast powder, heavy bullet? I assume it means more powder, but I know nothing about reloading. Heavy bullet needs higher average pressure to get to the same velocity as a lighter bullet. Higher pressure means more noise when the bullet leaves the barrel. |

Love the fact that you're going all-in... optics, laser, light, rail. When I saw that SRS height over bore, though, my first thought was "Holy Shit... I hope this doesn't give anyone a stroke!" (Just kidding.) If it works for you, it works... period. I can't wait to see what you do once you get the RPP rail installed. Quick question on the Perst... where on the unit is the emitter? I'm curious if once you mount to the rail there will be a way to put it "in-line" with the bore, ITAL-style. With 44mag it might not matter, but for the heavier 45-70, I find that having the beam as close to and in-line with the barrel as possible makes approximating impacts inside/outside 100 yard zero so much easier. I wouldn't mind some close-up pics of the laser and mount, if not too much trouble. Don't know too much about these "commie creations" yet, other than the recent gain in popularity. |

The Perst 4P (P=Pistol) puts the lasers in line with the bore. Attached File The way it is currently mounted is directly to the Picatinny rail at the bottom front of the Henry handguard. Attached File I’ve got a RPP forearm on order. I have a TNVC TOR MINI en route to replace this LAM on this rifle, as much to reduce weight as for any other reason. I like the high placement of the RDS on the rifle, as this should allow me to align it with head-mounted NVG while hog hunting. |

Can't wait to see it with the rail and TOR. Also, regarding height of optic... that's all that matters. If it works for your purposes, roll with it! Any lights/IR illuminators planned? This one is definitely coming together nicely. |

This one is definitely coming together nicely. Yes. I want to add an Arisaka/Malkoff IR light. Probably the EX IR 250. I want to talk to Ranger Point Precision and try to convince them to add an MLOK slot up high near the front end. It would allow me to add an IR light in an extremely low profile well tucked position (1 o’clock, since I’m left handed) on one side and the TOR mini on the other. Also, I just ordered 2 Grovetec limited rotation threaded QD bases and a tap. I’m going to install these into the Henry polymer stock. Depending on ease of installation, I may eventually purchase a 3rd for installation on the bottom of the stock. If I screw it up, I’ll just buy a wooden stock to replace the poly.

Very nice work on the flush cups, too. I would recommend the Leupold Deltapoint Pro over the RMR. I own, and have tried both. The field of view for the DPP is much nicer and you don't have to remove it from the mount to change the battery, like with the RMR. Granted, you wouldn't have to do this often, but when you do, you'll be forced to re-zero each time you re-mount. TOR-Mini looks great, too. What's the update on the RPP rail? Once the rail is installed, I recommend Arisaka low profile picatinny rail sections for the laser. They're the lowest I've found on the market. |

 The SRO, I think it is? Is a much wider FOV, and has a top-mounted battery tray. There was a thread in GD about how it's not for duty use, but Jaegerworks makes a metal shield for it (as seen on the soon-to-be-my TRR8 above). Since I have a bunch of stuff on LaRue mounts, I can swap and take some pictures once I finally do the paperwork for this thing, as I'll be able to stuff the SRO on my 1894 for pictures and such. |

Their documented issues pushed me towards the SRO w/shield to overcome its deficiencies (as documented by Aaron Cowen, whose White paper should be here.) I have an SRO on a CZ Shadow2. I might have to acquire another for my rifle. I almost hate to do it though, because the SRS sits at the perfect height for me to look through it with helmet mounted NODS. I did get out and align the laser and RDS last night at about 150 yds. Unfortunately, I will need to confirm zero on the RDS again, and then reconfirm laser zero. The top rail on the rifle had gotten a little loose, despite locktite, so I reapplied locktite and cranked down harder this time. OTOH, Kim from RangerPoint says the latest batch of rails is out for anodizing right now and will be shipping by the end of the coming week.

Also, one of the recent Henry emails included details of a "scout" type 12 o clock rail on their .45-70 that had some added length and an included aperture rear. I wonder if something like that would be offered for your receiver size soon, or if that would be useful to you? |

I almost bought an RPP rail, but I found the Henry for $35 on Amazon, so I snagged it. |

Great little cans! Probably less than 5”?. I’m not exactly. I should probably measure them. |
