    Gunsmithing Bedding for a Newbie

    I am considering buying a Howa 1500 action/barrel assembly and stock and putting it together. I have never done this...never even had a bolt action rifle (just semi-auto). From what I read, I need to bed the rifle, but also see terms such as pillars, aluminum bedding blocks, skim, bedding...

    Rifle Scopes Short Range MOA Precison Scope?

    I am coming up a bit empty trying to find the right scope for an AR10 308 rifle. Probably because I will be shooting the AR off a bench and am looking for the best accuracy possible of this gas gun. For shooting small groups at 100 and 200 yards (very rarely 300), what magnification (or range)...

    SPR-ish build on Sun Devil Mfg reciever set?

    Re: SPR-ish build on Sun Devil Mfg reciever set? I have a SunDevil lower and upper with tensioning screw, from around 2009 I think, which is fitted with the JP Rifles VTAC handguard. It fits fine. I did not order any specially machined upper for this, and even now, on the SunDevil sight, I...

    Obermeyer Chamber Opinion on AR10

    Re: Obermeyer Chamber Opinion on AR10 It is apparent then that the best chamber is dependent on bullet needs, which are then driven by what is expected out of the rifle at what ranges. I don't know what bullet is best for my intended range. Due to severe shooting range limitations in the...

    Obermeyer Chamber Opinion on AR10

    Re: Obermeyer Chamber Opinion on AR10 First, I am not the guy National Match US. Just someone building an AR10 that is after best possibly accuracy using mag loaded rounds at 100 - 300 yards and maybe ocassionally 600 yards. When you say the Obermeyer chamber "doesn't give you much room to...

    Obermeyer Chamber Opinion on AR10

    I was talking to Krieger today and told them I wanted a 308 barrel for an AR10 used for 100 - 600 yards max with the purpose of maximum accuracy. They recommended 168 and 175 grain bullets, 1:12 twist, and the Obermeyer chamber (vs SAMI). Just what is the Obermeyer chamber? I see it...

    AR10 Handguards - Who Makes Them?

    I am looking for a round AR10 handguard with little if any Picatinny rail on it. Rifle length. I have a JP Rifles set up on my AR15 and while happy with it, was just looking for something different for the AR10. Who makes such a thing for the AR10? This is a true Armalite style AR10, not...

    Tikka T3 308 Value?

    Re: Tikka T3 308 Value? Andrew, As I said in my PM just a few minutes ago, no hard feelings. I was not aware of the 8:47 pm interested party until this evening. As I stated, lesson learned for me. Ironically, I am anything but a flaky buyer, but understand how "probably buy" could be...

    Tikka T3 308 Value?

    Re: Tikka T3 308 Value? I guess I do not know how to play the purchase game correctly, or am to gentlemanly. The Tikka is sold, but not to me. I expressed interest in it, stating I wanted to look at and "probably buy it". This was 14 minutes before anyone responded to the original For Sale...

    Tikka T3 308 Value?

    Re: Tikka T3 308 Value? Seller says he is the original owner and condition is good+, with some superficial marks expected from shooting F T/R and silhouette. Says he did the skim bedding and the spring swap on the trigger. - Phil

    Tikka T3 308 Value?

    I found a Tikka T3 Tactical in 308 with muzzle brake, Harris bipod, Ernie's trigger spring, and Manners T4 stock. 1000 rounds. Good condition, supposedly. What would be a good price for this rifle? Been looking for a 308 bolt action like this and thought this could be good. - Phil

    How to "Drive" a Semi-Auto?

    Re: How to "Drive" a Semi-Auto? These responses made me realize something. I had forgotten that some time ago, I let my 25 year old daughter shoot my 223 AR15 for the first time. Her only other rifle experience was a Ruger 10/22. She fired two 100 yard five shot group off the bipod to get...

    How to "Drive" a Semi-Auto?

    I frequently read that semi-autos are harder to shoot than a bolt action, and one has to learn how to shoot the semi. I would love to learn how to better "drive" the semi-auto...but how? What am I to watch for, improve on, change. or...? This pertain to a 223 AR15 and 308 AR10. - Phil

    Muzzle Brake vs Accuracy

    Does anyone know if a muzzle brake in any way negatively impacts accuracy? Do the deflected gases possibly buffet the bullet knocking it slightly off course, and if so, is it to a degree that is predictable and can be adjusted for? I ask because reduced recoil would no doubt help shooter...

    Short Range AR10 Caliber for Accuracy

    Re: Short Range AR10 Caliber for Accuracy Simple enough to be sure, and I really like their rifles, but their AR-10 is not exactly what I want, as it includes standard equipment and options which are not my first choice. Further, they would have to sell the rifle installed with a "bullet...
