    Any special concerns working up a load with a dedicated can on it?

    I've never worked up a load for a rifle that has a dedicated can on it. I'm wondering if there are any special concerns I should be aware of in the process. In the past I'd already worked up a load for this rifle that I was very happy with. For me when I was an SD under 7.0 that was great...

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    That LMT looks like a great deal. I haven't done much research on LMT over the years, but I think it's used by the Brits? Maybe? As far as the difference between the defender vs MARS series, I don't have a clue. I'm not necessarily looking for the budget entry model version. That armalite...

    I made this thread and I haven't bought anything. I haven't seen the sale going on at PSA though either.

    With all that experience, I'm curious what your thoughts are on the Daniel Defense DD5's. They're certainly in that price point and reviews sound good. I agree with what you're saying about the 6mmARC or other calibers. There's a lot of advantages to that and I'd consider buying a 6arc upper...

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    I've owned two of the old school DPMS 308B's which was an 18" heavy barrel. Both were very accurate and I'm talking close to 1/2". They were both used at 1,000 yards just for fun. I never took them to any competitions, but they were also pretty heavy. Each one I had, and ended up having to...

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    I agree with a lot of this. I don't fault a company for changing ownership and it's a natural part of the entities survival. I just know it doesn't always work out well. In the case of Armalite, I think it absolutely makes sense that they made the changes to use pmags. One thing I'm doing...

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    The things that concern me about armalite is the changes in ownership. I get it's an old name like Springfield, but just like Springfield it's not the original. Maybe that's good, bad, or meaningless but it's something. I do like how Armalite changed their mag system when they came back...

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    So I'm still thinking about this and thankfully this discussion has really helped me define exactly what I'm looking for. Accuracy, Reliability, Weight, Run Suppressed, Run Scoped. Bonus things would be the ability to have both 308 & 6.5 options, and use PMAG pattern mags. From everything I...

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    The more I think about this, the more I like the idea of being able to use the 308 pmags that I've already got and can easily get more. The pmag is a great mag and they're dirt cheap by comparison so I don't see why I'd hop into a specialized mag. Something else I'm considering, is I'm looking...

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    Ok, so I kept looking at the Armalites and couldn't figure out why something didn't seem right to me about them. Then it dawned on me. Didn't they used to have some weird proprietary magazine? Now it looks like they're built to run off of magpul pmag pattern mags and that's great. I just...

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    I haven't seen a lot of glowing reviews for the SFAR as far as reliability goes. From what I've read and listened to so far I think the Sig 716 tread seems to be more reliable. That's also why I'm asking and asking here too. I'd like to tap into peoples first hand experience with any of these...

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    I went to Aero's website and every complete lower is out of stock. I'm not sure if there's another website where they sell their stuff, but I don't know where to find them. I haven't heard anything bad about the Saint Victor, and I'd consider it.

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    Don't get me wrong, I've assembled enough PSA kits at my kitchen table for myself and others that I'm sure there's a political party that would love to ban my kitchen table. I've seen more good than bad out pf PSA, but it's a gamble every time it's not their premium line.

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    I got tempted by a PSA AR10 and mine never ran or cycled anything close to reliably. If you got one that works I'm very happy for you and I wanted the one I bought to have been my new favorite, but it just didn't play out that way for me. For what I'm looking for now I wouldn't put PSA on my...

    Reliable AR10 style that's reliable for "plinking"?

    Somehow or another rifles like the Sig 716i, and Ruger SFAR are popping up in my emails and it got me thinking. Those are two examples, and I know there more comparable rifles out there. One thing though is that I just can't stand a rifle that doesn't run reliably. I know if I was going to...
