    kestrel elite 5700 ab problems, what am i doing wrong

    update: i believe i have figured out why the kestrels were giving different solutions. now i am back to trying to figure out why all kestrel solutions are too low. i am going to play with some of the inputs again and see what happens,

    kestrel elite 5700 ab problems, what am i doing wrong

    i have discovered that you are correct. i changed the wind and the kestrels are alike now.

    kestrel elite 5700 ab problems, what am i doing wrong

    i looked and it seems to have coriolis set on each rifle profile, so when i transferred them, it would have to be the same

    kestrel elite 5700 ab problems, what am i doing wrong

    i have a kestrel 5700 elite ab, sn#2160498. i have down loaded the latest firmware. i have had it for years, i used to be really into the precision rifle stuff. i bought the weather vane for it, etc. but it has always given me problems. but i think i am onto something finally. i've been getting...

    So who has done actual groups at 200 with a tavor?

    exactly. stock barrel might be a decently accurate barrel if it weren't for that weirdness. but,,, i still like it. i also looked into ways to make it float better and it became just too much of a project and i moved on

    So who has done actual groups at 200 with a tavor?

    that and suppressor blowback on them are my 2 biggest negatives,,otherwise, i really like my tavors. very stable to shoot off hand. i kept hoping someone would make a nice replacement match barrel for them but never found one. why they wouldn't put an adjustable gas block in them defies...

    So who has done actual groups at 200 with a tavor?

    i should have mentioned that most of all the 223 match ammo i tried in the tavors did very very well in my "precision" ar with a nice JP match barrel, the corbon and old ruag prime would shoot in that .5 ish moa range in a good barrel. the prvi 75 grain shot crappy in everything. however...

    So who has done actual groups at 200 with a tavor?

    ironically, i have had different results with the 556 tavor platform than your 308 version. i have 2 x 95's and the older version. i have tried many different ammo in mine, all 3 of them, trying to shoot "precision style" (bipod and rear bag) some with quality 5-25 scopes and lately...

    Night Vision NODS and the northern lights

    Well, I doubt if my tubes are that good, I mean they’re decent, now I’m wondering if it’s worth it to get up. Mine are also the older Green type instead of the fancier, white phosphorus. I wonder how that would affect the color. Are yours white or green?

    Night Vision NODS and the northern lights

    We’ve been getting some of the northern lights all the way down here in Arizona and people I’ve been taking pictures of them, but they’re hard to see with the naked eye. Has anyone tried looking at them with their goggles? I’m just wondering how much IR is in them . I might try waking up at...

    Bergara sucks ass, buyer beware.

    surprised redneck is getting so much flack. imo, he is very legit, been on here super long time. bought some stuff from him years ago, good transactions. he even helped me, via some phone calls, years ago with my first build. very knowledgable. i recently had a little problem with...

    AR10 6.5 creedmoor, is copper blob on gas port common?

    i just noticed you mentioned primer cratering,, there is a slight amount but i am getting some other pressure signs, blown primer, ejector marks, flat primer,, which i have been addressing and that is why i wound up borescoping it cause i wanted to see if there was anything unusual. But no idea...

    AR10 6.5 creedmoor, is copper blob on gas port common?

    yes, i am going to update post,, criterion is being very stand up-ish and they are sending new barrel with return label. it must be tough to put gas port right thru a "valley" part of the rifling right? i mean, an ar barrel can't be rotated and the gas port has to be pretty exact distance...

    AR10 6.5 creedmoor, is copper blob on gas port common?

    i will play around with it some more but it is amazing the wide range of observations on the subject. i still can't imagine the bullet doing well with some of the jacket missing but i guess that is why i posted on here,, I just really don't know. i do know the ES on the hornady sure...

    AR10 6.5 creedmoor, is copper blob on gas port common?

    i should elaborate, when i say it shoots, it's nothing to write home about, and the ES has increased to about 110 vs first box of same ammo which the ES was around 40 ish. and this has only been about 50 rds. i will see what they say. it's too bad there isn't a tool on a shank thta...
