Unbelievable. I was happy getting to 20 pull ups at 53, but this dude is other worldly.

I'm looking for a new bolt gun in .308 for deer hunting out of blinds or deer stands in central Alabama with a max shot distance of about 300 yards.
Looking for an 18" -20" Barrel - Prefer a 1-10" rifling twist rate - not a drop dead "Must Have"
Muzzle Threads 5/8" -24 - I have suppressors to use on this rifle and have mounts
Synthetic Stock - adjustable comb height is a definite plus
I want something fairly nice - no Savage's and I'm hesitant for a Gen II Ruger American - the stock is ugly and the bolt sounds like zipper when you run it.
I want to be into the rifle less than about $ 1200.00
I'm a Tikka guy, but there is nothing in the US Catalog that jumped out at me with those specs and I didn't want to have a barrel turned and switch barrels around on the actions I have.
Grabbing a complete rifle is vastly more convenient and conserves time and ammo.
The Bergara Wilderness Sierra B14S801 seems to be tailor made to those specs + Standard Sling Studs & Fluted Barrel @ 7.4 Lbs.
The Bergara Wilderness Terrain B14S651 is almost the same as the Sierra, but is AICS Mag compatible and has a Mini Chassis Stock with Flush Cups and sling studs in the fore end @ 8.9 Lbs.
Both of these are within my budget, with the Wilderness Terrain about $ 120.00 more than the Sierra

Are there other rifles I should look at with these specs in this price range ?

I know, here we go again with a Junk Savage test again. I personally like Savages and have no problem with their accuracy. Got to tell you I was pretty impressed with this thing today in the conditions we had and no load development at all. Buddy assembled it and I brought loads to the range and we went from there. Great starter setup.

Got to test out the Outlier Chassis and 26" 308 Nitrided Stainless Steel barrel today for the Savage Axis action. Initial thoughts were it's a really a nice looking rig. It's relatively light rig compared to my other longrange rifles although a weight package may be in the works but was very comfortable to shoot. It came with a muzzle brake design I've never seen before, 3 sets of large ports spaced at 120 deg. We didn't play with timing like you'd do with normal brakes, not sure if there is a special alignment of the ports but it functioned very well and made the gun very comfortable to shoot.

The original gun in the camo stock kicked like a mule, no fun at all. The group shown is the first three shots and wasn't very impressive. Light heavy recoiling guns are pretty sensitive to shooter input so maybe Time for the upgrade. The barrel/chassis was sent to a friend who assembled it for me. He sent me the info on the OAL and info on the load he uses in one of his 308s. I loaded up 50 rounds using Lapua 308 Palma brass with small primers. Loaded with CCI 450 primers, 43.5 of Varget with 185 Juggernauts at 2.910 AOL. This gun also has an Arken EP-5 5-25x56 scope which is an incredible scope for the money. I have quite a few and no complaints with any of them. at 550 yards we were shooting at tiny fragments of clay pigeons and the tiny floating dot made that so easy. Well worth checking out, way more scope than the cost dictates.

Thursday I was out working in a T-shirt, Friday (range day we could have picked a better day but 30 deg temps with a 15 - 20 mph wind blowing from 11 o-clock in our face made for a pretty cold day to test made for a 12 - 15 deg wind chill. Randy had bore sighted at his house on a distant fence post and a quick couple of shots to get a 100 yard zero showed he got lucky again with only being off a few inches from center at 100 yards. Randy fired the first 3 shots for group with about a 1 inch group. Another shooting buddy shot a second 3 shot group which came in about 3/4" with 2 in one hole and one out a bit. My Son shot 3 shots next which came in about 5/8" or tad less with 2 in one hole and one slightly out. We seated the bullet .003 deeper and the next 3 shots by my Son was the elegonated one hole group. None of this breaking in the barrel for us, load'm and shoot. Let's see how it does right out of the box. If it keeps getting better the more it gets shot it'll be pretty impressive.

Based on these few shots it's going to be a good shooter with groups like this right out of the box with literally no tweaking and terrible conditions. We then moved on out to 540 yards which needed 11 1/2 moa. My first shot disintergrated a small piece of clay pigeon and the next shot turned a round steel place that was nearly turned completely sideways a bit more to the side. My Son Chris then shot at a small head shaped steel target kidding that he was going to try and hit it on the nose. Yup, that's where it went, next two shots were just left and right of dead center with a very slight elevation separation between them. I didn't have a rule but it's well under 1 moa.

We let others shoot it and all were very impressed, all liked the feel of the chassis and how well the Juggernauts performed. The velocity out of the 26" barrel was 2706 fps with an SD of 6. We shot my loads out of a friends new 30" Criterion barreled 308 just to get some type of comparison and his 3 or so shots averaged 2675 fps. Not sure why it was slower in the longer barrel but Randy thought maybe the Nitride coating might have something to do with it. Performance really surprised all of us, expecially right out of the box and newly assembled with no load work.

The barrel is Nitride coated and Outlier says it has a lifetime warranty. I'm curious to see how the Nitride holds up after a few matches, this could outlast many shooters with it's long life expectancy. This system was designed for someone that may have a Savage Axis and wants to upgrade to a better rig to get into Longrange shooting or PRS type matches. We have other chassis and barrels from various manufactures but think this will be a good upgrade for the Savage Axis. I believe it's also offered for the 10/11/110/111 Savages and possibly a Remington Rem-Age setup. I'm sure a call to Arken could garner more information on this.

This is our first impression of the gun, would have liked to have spent more time shooting it but when your fingers and cheeks start to get a bit tingly it's time to stop and regroup for another day. Next session I hope to have a weight bar made to slide down the barrel channel to see how it performs but other than that everything else it match ready. I also forgot my rubber mat to put under the Henry Rempel bipod and it does tend to skid around on wooden benches. I have skateboard tape on the other one which really keeps it in place. That may help with the slight movement right we were all getting when firing.

I'm sure you can tell, I'm no fancy gun writer, just like using things that work with no preference as to what name it has attached to it. If it performs well I like sharing with others but if it doesn't I'll also share that with everyone in my shooting circle. So far this setup works, if you have a Savage action you can put together a complete Arken/Outlier gun together about $1000.00 and have a good shooting rig.

Nib sr15 mod2 factory fde upper.
Somewhat interested in trades mostly wanna sell it.
$2600 shipped.

Sort of strange situation AR10 308... AERO upper and lower, Tool Craft carrier with JP HP bolt... All top shelf components...
Sometimes when I drop the BCG on the first round from the mag and squeeze the trigger, I hear and feel the "click" from the trigger.
Trigger is a new TriggerTech Diamond AR10 trigger. I eject the round, put it back in the mag...do it all over again and it fires fine. It doesn't always do it and may do it on the 3rd or 5th round. Intermittent.

I'm trying to figure out where to focus on. Spotlessly clean the bolt and carrier, etc..... Still intermittent. Hand loads..... Lapua brass, Federal match primers....

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Used but great shape. The cover is pretty dirty but it does it's job and keeps the optic safe.

I want to buy a Sphur, 34mm 1.5” 0MOA mount.

PM if available

I just got a 6 dasher that I put together. Zermatt origin with proof pre fit 26" barrel. Brand new alpha brass srp. At 31.7 with varget I got a blown primer didn't come out but it had carbon ring around it and a hole. I started with shooters world precision and had it do the same thing at 31.5 with heavy bolt lift so I stopped cause I was just looking for pressure with the powder and just switched to varget. I did 5 rounds at 31.7 and didn't have a problem with the other 4 rounds but the 1 round had the problem. Shot 5 at 32.2 and they didn't have any problem or heavy bolt lift. I'm using winchester #41 cause it's what I have and I didn't think it would be a problem but is that the problem? Do I need to switch primers i do have some cci450. I also noticed my bolt now has 2 little dimples on the face is it trashed now to?

Lyman Universal Case Trimmer with nine pilots. SOLD

I set myself a goal this year to take a deer at 600 yards with an AR rifle. To be sure it was up for the task every time I went to the range even shooting other rifles I shot 1 cold bore shot at 600 to be sure it was always consistent. I carry this rifle to 900 on a normal basis.
This morning i had my chance, 601 yards and recovered him 35 yards from impact. I was just fine with a mature doe but this guy came in today and gave me that chance. One of my favorite hunts now

WTS a New in Wrapper LMT SpecWar upper. I bought two and decided to only build-out one. MSRP $1014 - SOLD

Built with operational performance in mind, the new LMT Spec War upper was designed in partnership with some of Americas most specialized warfighters. This upper was built to utilize the new 12.5″ MRP barrel as well as other 12″ or greater barrels. We removed the built in forward QD swivels and extended the length over the traditional CQB length to improve ergonomics and accessory real estate. What this does is give the user a better fighting edge and increased lethality.

Among keeping the classic barrel swap capability, the Spec War focuses on the need to maintain a rigid platform for mounted laser aiming and illumination devices, crucial for night operations. Additionally, this upper receiver features MLOK pattern rail mounting platform and a continuous picatinny top rail. For those who require use of a QD sling, a single point is available in the aft portion of the receiver.

The patented LMT monolithic rail platform (MRP) upper receiver, has a receiver and handguard that are made from a single piece of aerospace grade aluminum. The barrel is held in place with a proprietary locking system that utilizes two locking bolts accessible from the right side of the receiver. The only tool needed is a standard T-30 Torx bit to tighten the bolts. This receiver requires the patented LMT monolithic barrel assembly which has a low profile gas block with straight gas tube.
