Hello guys,
I´m on the hunt for a LPVO for my AR15 for distances of 600yds. or in.

I´m only interested in technical/use/optical answers, unregarded of the prize.
Just trying to understand the pros and cons to make a decision which way I should go.

So I understand, that a 1-8 or even a 1-10 has the benefit of a higher magnification over a 1-6.
But then I read a lot of the "downsides" of such highly-magnified LPVOs with the higher zoom rates.

There seem to be lacks in the optical performance?
If so, are those downsides worth the higher magnification?

Please school me about that.

Selling my Backlanz Carbon Bipod LT. Ultra lightweight bipod good for backcountry rifles. Weighs 4.5 oz.
$325 Shipped

Backlanz Carbon Bipod LT in excellent condition. Super light weight bipod. Comes with the flat Forend plate. $380

I am not in a position to contribute at this time, but I am a consumer of the info contained. With any luck I'll get my 300 Norma built, and be able to contribute in the coming months. The info RE: barrel length and twist is especially helpful. Bring on the additional data. Anyone running a relatively short barrel?

Well I've scoured the section for 300RUM loads with 208s and had no luck. I wonder how close the NM loads would work?

Out shooting this AM. Great load that shot in the .3's, but it's pretty hot:

Norma brass

215gr Berger hybrid

90gr N570

FGMM 215 primer

3185fps average over 5 shots w/ slight ejector marks from a 28" Bartlein med palma.

I've been looking for a cartridge to use in a long-range target (maybe hunting?) rig I aim to have built, and the 300NM has to be it; good compromise of power, and efficiency.

My hope is to run Nosler's new 210grain LR Accubond projectiles, slick little buggers, with an incredible G7 BC (.366) as an alternative to the Bergers.

Any suggestions for an action? I'm considering Defiance Machine, or the Mauserfield?

The load data you've listed corresponds damn closely with my calculations. Great resource blokes!!!

Without running the thread off topic too much, I'd say go with Defiance Deviant action. Word to the wise: Nosler is a little overly enthusiastic about the Accubond LR bullet BC's. Do a Google search regarding the accuracy of their advertised BC's. Litz published some info on it.

230 Berger OTM .719

85.4 of H1000

Norma Brass

Fed nonmatch primers

22" barrel

last 100 yd string was 2867, 2867, 2867, 2853, 2862 and they were all in 1 hole

This rifle has been amazing. Consistent 1000yd groups between 5 and 6 inches. I finally found a spot to shoot the mile (1762) and when we finally went the wind was wildly inconsistent but I had 1 of 13 on target. There was zero splash visible so I'm certain it'll be better next time. I'll take one at a mile considering this rifle represents my first try at long range, first try at reloading, first try at cutting a chamber and building a rifle, first try at a bolt gun actually.

I have had a problem with the brass. About one of every 3 cases won't rechamber in the rifle. They will but I have to really fight to get the bolt closed. Any tips or logic that someone could provide would be extremely helpful.

It seems like brass life is a common complaint of the 300NM. Speed costs. I'm pushing mine pretty hard and it looks like 3 reloads is all she's gonna give me. If Lapua came with brass (or if someone else like RWS made some tough brass) we'd all be in heaven.

nnnn16, have you tried bumping the shoulder back just a tad? I run mine thru a redding body die and havent had any problems with it. Dont force it, you'll end up galling your lugs. You want them to chamber like butter.

The gun comes with a CT RAD red dot sight ($240) The CT RAD™ (Rapid Aiming Dot) Electronic Sight is a full-size Open Reflex Sight for full frame pistols. Featuring a red 3 MOA aiming dot, the CT RAD™ has a recessed and fully multi-coated lens with a large quick acquisition window. The CT RAD™ comes with an AUTO Shutoff Function that automatically shuts off after 8 consecutive hours of operation to conserve battery life and a manual ON/OFF Function that allows you to turn on or off the sight by using the side brightness buttons. The CT RAD™ is easily installed on an optics cut slide using the CT RAD™ footprint that is also compatible with the Docter® footprint. Textured sides allow for a secure grip when racking the slide.

The CT RAD™ has large brightness setting buttons for easy use even with gloves on. Made of 7075 Series Aerospace Aluminum, it is 30% stronger than most industry standard sights made with 6061 Series Aluminum. The entire CT RAD™ family has an Innovative top strap design that deflects force if the sight is dropped. Our engineers developed a better way to reduce stress on the lens of reflex sights. By combining out-of-the-box thinking with next-level physics, we designed a system that both re-enforces your optic and reduces stress if it happens to get dropped. All this comes with our CRIMSON Protect Lifetime Warranty.
Comes with one 16 +2 magazine. Gun is brand new and test fired only. 100% reliable. 100% guaranteed...return for any reason within 5 days for full refund less shipping. Ships FREE PRIORITY mail to your FFL. No sales where prohibited, know your state and local laws.

If I buy a R700 take off barrel (308), how likely it would headspace okay when put on another R700 receiver? If it doesn't headspace, how much work (and the cost) will be for a gunsmith to fix it? I know it's hit or miss but want to get a ballpark. I have a project (sort off) in mind. Thanks!

Google search didn’t turn up anything. Anybody know if the Superlative Arms adjustable gas block fit in the Geissele MK16 handguard?

Nightforce 5-25x56 F1 Mrad. Comes with badger mount. Has my favorite reticle, H59. Trade for k318i, atacr 4-16 mil or similar scopes or things of equal value. $2300

I currently own 2 Foundation Centurions. One black and one dark distressed. I have en route another pair or centurions. One natural and one coyote( natural/black). I was hoping some of you would be kind enough to post some photos of some natural and coyote color foundations. Appreciate it

Just ordered this Surefire Can. Got this for my Remington CSR. Anyone have any experience w/ them or know anything? not very much out there on the internet about them.


8 inches 11 ounces sounds nice. I wonder how it suppresses.

Hey guys just wondering if anyone can point me to a range north of Seattle WA that has some decent distances, aka 2k plus. I'm up here working for next 16 months and got spoiled back home with Coleman creek.

Appreciate any leads.

If this is the wrong forum just let me know and I'll move it.
