$1500 does cover pretty much anything. I recommend a can either with a brake (Magnus S-RR) or can with the ability run a brake/flat cap (other optuons).

The brake is most effective on a S or even K style can as it dissipates less gas for suppression and allows the brake to function more effectively. A suppressor adds some recoil reduction versus a bare crown, but a can plus brake is almost to brake territory. You do lose some song suppression reduction by adding the brake, but I think it is worth it. The ability to stay on target and watch impacts is paramount in a hunting scenario.

If you want the quietest braked can then it is probably the Nomad To XC or Magnus S-RR. The Theorem S provides the most recoil reduction, but it is the shortest and loudest can.

I haven’t tried my Recoil X brake on the Magnus yet, but reports are that it is the bees knees.

It’s .30-cal rated, but purpose-built for .308 and reducing back pressure. I don’t think 7PRC would be a good use case compared to other options.

CAT cans are quiet, but routinely come in heavy. My JL is nearly a pound, and titanium. Their cans are made for specific applications as well for them to really shine.

I took my anvil off of my RRS and put it on the Two Vets. Anvil is by far the best shooting head. The ball heads are better for glassing I think. I want a RRS 3 section but my wallet said Two Vets lol.

Easy answer as I've shot at almost all the ranges mentioned. Roaming Shot is the answer. Iberville would be my second pick. I'm a member at Roaming Shot so if you need help booking a time or something let me know and I'll help.

I have a few in a trust but all the last few years have been individual because I don’t really let people borrow them. Only one I really lend out is my Omega cause I don’t care about it lol.

Even if you went individual to get it quicker, after the first you can file to move however many you want into a trust and you already have them. Never plan on only buying one. I’m at 11 now and trying to decide what will make #12 and then I’ll call it quits.

I agree with get a new gun. I’m not sure of that profile but it may be hard to get threaded or only be possible to do an odd ball size like 9/16 instead of industry standard 5/8x24.

Now that Tikka is offering more factory threaded options that’s the easy button. For gifgles I’d get a new caliber. 6.5PRC or Creedmoor are easy buttons. Just let a diehard 308 buddy use my 25 Creedmoor and he was impressed with the damage on a deer.

I enjoyed the Hornady podcast about bullet selection matters more than cartridge head stamp.

Microtech was always a want of mine, bought one and they are meh. I have really been enjoying the last couple of ProTech knives I've bought though.

My only experience is with three people at work who had them. All had problems, 1 went through the lemon law process, second guy got tired of doing the oil consumption tests in the process of doing the lemon law with his and traded it in.

I’ve had a Garmin since they’ve came out with no issues. I think it was in the Hornady podcast where they said the Garmin within 1% or something crazy of their really expensive radar chronographs.

I’ve seen a lot of app connectivity issues. I’d personally skip Athlon and their copycat and stick with Garmin.

Use Red hawk rifles. That's where I get my barrels.

I've ordered quite a few Bartlein from Red Hawk, steel and Carbon Fiber. Bison Tactical will also stock their ModBB from time to time I've ordered. Red Hawk does a First Responder discount as well if you qualify, no sales tax.

Bugholes (Southern Precision) should be your second stop to check on barrels. They have recurring orders from all the big makers. Don't skip on CRB either. Newer company but they are producing hammers. Using their 7mm blank and contour on my NF Challenge 7PRC this year, again chambered by Straight Jacket.
