    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Ok this was it! You are right in this case so I think your average went up from half of the time :-) Thank you for pushing me in that direction. I thought it should have a separate nut to attach to the barrel nut, but it wouldn't budge originally. I didn't want to mar it up by using tools...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    No it won't slide over the nut. There is a threaded insert in the handguard itself that appears to not be removable. That insert threads onto the barrel nut when installed, and that is as far as it screws down. You are correct, those pictures don't show a gap. I couldn't find a single person...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    No that's the stock ruger barrel nut. Something is definitely off, was wondering maybe if you are supposed to use a first gen handguard nut or something like that.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Has anyone installed the Firearms Unknown handguard? Link to product I'm scratching my head how this is supposed to attach. I actually have three RPRs (for pd shooting) and have installed the MI & Spikes Tactical handguards no problems. Every person I talked to at the company has been...

    Question about Trijicon Scopes

    Actually just to close this out I reached out to Trijicon and they confirmed it’s true MOA. In case anyone searches for this

    Question about Trijicon Scopes

    Sure you can poke fun all you want, already a mil guy. These are for my three prairie dog rifles. I found the mil clicks too coarse 500+ yards on PDs. Yes I know you can get mil scopes with .05 adjustments, but already had an NF MOA scope on one of them and wanted to keep everything...

    Question about Trijicon Scopes

    Have a Tenmile on the way and just getting a head start on setting up my ballistic app. Are these True MOA or Shooter MOA adjustments? Can't find anything on the Trijicon site other than 1/4moa clicks

    Midway USA has lousy customer service

    Midway definitely has the worst shipping department of any gun related company I've ever dealt with. Shame on me for using them over and over again through the years.

    223 semi-precision reloading frustration.

    I also have a JP Supermatch .223 Wylde AR upper. After extensive testing, I finally settled on Lapua brass, Sierra 69gr SMK, 2.250 OAL, 24.3gr Varget. I know it may not be much help because your components are different, but its a data point for ya. Also try a Lee Collet die with undersized...

    Question about temp sensitive powders -- CFE 223 & Leverevolution

    I posted this in the ES vs SD thread, and it certainly applies here as well. Years ago I was playing around with 180gr Warner Flatlines and CFE 223 with my .308. I was trying to keep it relative vs the 6.5s. I picked out 10 pieces of Lapua brass that were identical in water weight capacity, and...

    ES vs SD

    Thank you but I know for a fact it can't be done consistently (at least for me). I've accepted the fact that it was basically a one-time fluke where everything likely just happened to line up in my favor. First off I haven't come anywhere close to this in all the years since. I have gotten...

    ES vs SD

    Honestly I don't really get caught up in the esoteric analysis of ES vs SD. I come up with a load using OCW, fine tune seating depth, and then measure it w/ a Magnetospeed to get a starting point for the kestrel. I obviously look at the ES/SD/Avg speed, and usually more often than not the...

    Kestrel firmware 1.48 now available with new features

    Man I know I'm just shooting the messenger here, and we all appreciate the effort you do to answer questions and keep everyone on here informed and up to date, but this is pretty damn disappointing from NK. Been waiting for this forever. Bryan Litz has stated that one of the more common errors...
