    Trouble shooting AR-10 off bench

    Re: Trouble shooting AR-10 off bench Thanks for all the input! I will try some different positions as suggested, work on my trigger pull, and maybe try a different rear bag. I'll see where all that gets me.

    Trouble shooting AR-10 off bench

    Re: Trouble shooting AR-10 off bench It's a Caldwell - short, low slanted thing. Works ok for conventional rifles, but maybe the AR recoil pushes it off the bag causing POI to change?

    Trouble shooting AR-10 off bench

    I'm a "casual shooter" (meaning I'm basically worthless!), but I've noticed that I shoot my AR-10 better prone off a bipod than off a bench with sand bags. I can generally get sub moa groups at 200 yrds prone, but only 1.5+ moa (sometimes much worse) off the bench. I can't seem to find a way to...

    Shorter LOP on AR-10?

    Re: Shorter LOP on AR-10? So, the UBR stock and most other collapsible stocks require a carbine buffer and spring. How would this change affect cycling, recoil, or accuracy in an AR-10? Or maybe a better question is: why do rifle length buffers/tubes even exist if the carbine length would...

    Shorter LOP on AR-10?

    Re: Shorter LOP on AR-10? Yeah... currently I'm in match rifle. My understanding is that an AR-10 must conform to the standard issue m-110 furniture (mine doesn't), and I'm not sure if it also must have an adjustable gas block (mine also doesn't). The M-110 has an adjustable A2 stock (I...

    Shorter LOP on AR-10?

    Hi All, I've just started in NRA high power with my AR-10 rifle and have found the A2 stock to be too long for off-hand and sitting positions. (I have a small build.) I'd like a "fixed" stock with adjustable LOP (i.e. not a carbine style stock), but I can't find anything short enough (at least...

    Hey all - I'm pretty much a noob to reloading & was hoping to learn what the most <span style="font-style: italic">significant</span> reloading variables are in terms of affect on POI precision. It seems that powder load consistency would be #1, but beyond that I don't know (brass, bullet...
