    .260/6.5 CM advice needed

    Thanks for the info. I will look into varget as an alternative, I have plenty of it. How about re-15? It does gave an adjustable gas block, which I have turned down to just cycle. That helped a lot of course. Being that the factory loads I tried we're pushing 120s to 2800-2885, I think...

    .260/6.5 CM advice needed

    I haven't evened opened the box of Lapua Brass or the redding dies. I have only shot 30 rds factory ammo thru it so far, after I saw how bad it was chewing up brass I thought I'd stop and think on whether I want to run it or not. It's too bulky for my hunting needs, so it comes down to will it...

    .260/6.5 CM advice needed

    Thanks for all the replies so far. I'm following most of what has been said.. LedZep, how long a barrel did LRI put on your m700? I've seen some of their work over at Predatormasters and they put together some nice sticks for sure.. FCS, I appreciate all those tips and did some of them...

    .260/6.5 CM advice needed

    I put together a LR 260 upper recently. 20" BHW standard profile barrel, DPMS flattop receiver and BCG. I intended it to primarily for hunting, but since have decided it's going to be too heavy for me to like for hunting. So now I'm trying to decide whether to try it for long range target...

    Ar 308 recommendations

    Thanks for all the info. I think I can handle building with drop in parts and few tools that are inexpensive or that I already have (armorer block, barrel nut wrench, torque wrench). Now to nail down the components I'd like to use and compare cost vs buying another rifle. Building does sound...

    Ar 308 recommendations

    Makes sense. I was half way thinking of putting this together myself, as the barrels are supposed to be drop in, but you recommend a smith assemble for proper headspace I guess? I could get a go gauge with the tools and check it, take it to smith if it isn't right.

    That where I'm leaning at this point. I've been looking at Black Hole barrels, DPMs LR 308 A3 upper receiver. I could use the BCG I already have, it shouldn't have much wear on it (100-200 rds thru that one is all), but I don't know if using the same BCG on two diff uppers is a good idea or not.

    No opinions? Gen2 Hunter 308 Lar-8 Predator HP OR Build LR 308 gen 1 upper with custom barrel??

    Ar 308 recommendations

    First let me say I'm not very well versed in 308 ar platforms. That said I'm thinking on getting into a 20" 308. Some hunting and recreational target work (no comp or anything), not necessarily a carry gun, but 10ish lbs scoped would be nice. If I'm just buying a complete rifle I've looked a...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle suggestion for newb...MIL/MIL or MOA/MOA??

    Thanks for the replies guys. To tell the full story, I already bought a viper pst 2.5-10x42 sfp mrad reticle, I have just been second guessing myself and wondering if I should exchange it for an MOA model before mounting it. Judging from the comments here, and a ton of stuff I have read this...

    Rifle Scopes Reticle suggestion for newb...MIL/MIL or MOA/MOA??

    I have very little experience in using anything other than duplex reticles in scopes but have become interested in ranging type reticles. I'm looking at Vortex PST scopes right now. One for a 6.5 Grendel build, maybe a 2nd for a 243 bolt gun. I will predator some hunt with both, and do some...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2.5-10x44

    The scope came in a few days ago. The glass looks pretty dang nice to me. No milk at 10 power noticed so far. I really like the looks and feel of this scope. I think I'm gonna keep it, but I will look thru it a good bit more before mounting. My Grendel upper won't be in for a month anyway...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2.5-10x44

    Well, I've thought about it enough the last couple days to make my head hurt. So I went ahead and ordered the PST. If it's not up to par optically, I'll return.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2.5-10x44

    Have you noticed any milkyness or blur at 10 power? This potential issue concerns me the most on this scope because it's SFP, and if 10 power isn't clear then it kinda negatively effects the reticle cause I presume all ranging/holdover needs to be done at max power.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2.5-10x44

    Thanks for the replies. I have a PST 1-4 on an AR, and I like it. So when setting up a .308, I bought the HS-T 4-16x50. It looked milky, or fuzzy, or something starting at about 12 power and up. It sounds like this one may have some issues as well. But there are a lot of these scopes out...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2.5-10x44

    After some research and thought, I'm going to pass on the viper. I'll put a leupold 3-9 on it for now, which will get me hunting and shooting up to midrange. I have been curious for sometime about the SWFA SS scopes, so I may try one of those later for longer range target work on this gun and...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2.5-10x44

    Anybody run one of these? I'm thinking about trying one on a 20" 6.5 Grendel upper I have on order. I will use the gun for hunting but also some recreational target work. I have the pst 1-4, and like it. Feedback will be appreciated.

    Gunsmithing 243 Chambering

    I would like to stay with saami specs unless that won't work with 105's. I feel like that would still enable me to shoot 95-95 grainers well, and still possibly use factory ammo occasionally if needed. I don't have any experience, so any advice is appreciated.

    Gunsmithing 243 Chambering

    I have all my components for my Rem 700 243 rebarrel may take to gunsmith monday. The last time I talked to him, he said I could make up a dummy round and possibly order a different reamer for a longer throat if I want to. I'm putting an 8 twist barrel on it, so I would like to be able to shoot...

    243 bore diameter

    I'm about to build a 243 hunting rifle, will shoot some paper as well. I hope to shoot 87 grain vmax up to 105 amax and berger. I will go with an SS, 8 twist barrel in #4 contour. Does .236 or .237 make any difference for my application?
