Chasing accuracy with proof barrel.

55 inch pounds on scope rings?

That is high...18 to 20 inch pounds is max on a Vortex scope. Get a different scope on it, and tighten the rings to 18 inch lbs.

Take the scope off the rifle you shot a .33" group, and install on this one.

The rings can be lapped for more grip.
Arc mounts are different than conventional rings, hence the "unusually high" torque. I've got several proof barrels, steel and carbon, and they all shoot. I've got a steel proof on an ai in 6.5creed that is wicked accurate with 140 and 147 eldm. Try some handloads with the eldm .025 off rifling and report back. Your rifle has alot of nice components and shoot fantastic. I also second shooting without can/bare muzzle. That will atleast rule out harmonic/near baffle strike or disruption of projo.

LOL. They will the ones making it happen.
I think they were onboard when they didn’t have any say. Now they are in front of the camera and being taken seriously “it’s my turn”.

All politicians know they get 1 maybe 2 shots at it. AOC isn’t giving up her spot and wasting all the political cap she gained the last 6 months.

Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

Fun night taking my 13 year old daughter and her friend out hunting. Her friend had only shot a gun once before. Started with 22 and worked up to consistent hits on steel at 200m off the tripod. Then the 5.56 AR, and finally the 6.5 CM. Both did awesome. 3 rounds fired, 3 perfect neck shots. Fun night.

Short Carbon Fiber Barrels

I have not ran the Bartlein CF barrels, I’ve ran their steel though.

I have and do run, Proof CF and Proof Steel.

I am a recreational shooter at best, so keep that in mind. Others may be more qualified.

They are all fantastic barrels. The analysis you’re trying to do will end up causing paralysis by analysis.

Get a barrel you like and roll with it. Unless you’re putting thousands of rounds down range a year, or shooting in some unique use case, you won’t tell a difference. Maybe a few percentage points here or there but it’s going to be hard to tell behind the gun.

You can slice and dice this 100 different ways but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what gear you run. If your skills are not up to par a gain twist barrel or 400 MB barrel is not going to seal the deal for you.

And, no matter what you pick, it will be lacking somewhere. There will always be a void. Sometimes it will do x better but lack in y. Vice versa.

Edit:

To the short barrel point, I would get whatever one you want or is in stock and go. I personally don’t think the brand of a barrel from Bartlein or Proof is going to make a difference. They will both be excellent.

AR Positional POI Shift Test

I've been really impressed with both of my LWRC DI's.

I bought them to be cheap ammo blasters but the 16" is very accurate, is Okay.. 1 MOA-ish.

I just had a custom Barrel nut Wrench made so I can swap barrels up to 1"

If anyone has ever used the LWRC Barrel nut Wrench you know that it is specifically contoured for the LWRC barrels only..

Thinking of swapping barrels in my 10.5" LWRC with a 11.5" 22 ARC

It took some custom brass spacers, but Andrew got the top cover set up on his FX DRS.

Again, I’m not sure the demand - with enough interest I could do a dedicated DRS version that wouldn’t need a spacer, but I can’t imagine too many of these are in the wild.
