    McMillan Marsh Camo

    Bump - getting pretty close to pulling the trigger on a new A1-3 for a modernized XM3ish build, would appreciate if someone has a photo of one out in the wild. I called McMillan and they wouldn’t provide beyond the stock photo.

    Rifle Scopes 10x Rifle scope capabilities

    Learning to quarter the target with the reticle is a key skill if you don’t have a ton of magnification. All my scopes go up to 15x, some up to 35x, but Louisiana mirage forces me to the lower end of the mag range on a regular basis. I’ve made 1115 yard hits at 12X. I’d be more worried about...

    BCG & accuracy?

    Within reason, it won’t. As long as you buy an in spec BCG, and the bolt is fitted properly, it won’t have an impact on accuracy. Out of spec BCGs and bolts will of course, but unlike a high dollar barrel, a high dollar BCG won’t shoot any better. I have a Stag BCG (lefty) in mine and it’s been...

    Suppressors How to Suppress AR 5.56 the Most

    ARs are just hard to make really quiet, full stop. It’s not possible to delay unlocking enough that some gas doesn’t go out the ejection port, so the choice of can is mostly on the margins. I can put my Sandman L on my AR (which is comfortable to shoot with no ears on a bolt gun), and even with...

    Beginner - need equipment recommendations and advice

    Multiple National high power championships have been won on a Dillon 550 (although some charges might have been thrown with a funnel).

    Does dialing elevation effect parallax?

    On cheaper / older scopes, I’ve witnessed this phenomenon personally. On a newer, quality scope? Not at all.

    Beginner - need equipment recommendations and advice

    I just sold off my reloading gear - put it all in a spreadsheet to value it before selling and I had about $4200 worth. That was for a Co Ax with all the toys to load for precision plus components (LabRadar, autotrickler) - I loaded about 500 pistol rounds before I gave up on pistol ammo. It...

    Crown appears to have been destroyed by "gunsmith"

    Looks like a Freedom Group era Marlin crown! Should be a fairly easy fix, barrel isn’t permanently ruined thankfully.

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    What’s everyone using for DBM with AW magazines and the CDG? Looking at a couple of the usual suspects (Badger, KMW) to inlet into a McMillan, does any one run better than the others with the CDG and double stacks?

    1-8 LVPO or 2-10 MVPO for ar15?

    I much prefer the NF 2.5-10 over a LPVO (I’ve had Vortex 1-4, SWFA 1-6, Triji 1-8) on my AR. I’m not a door kicker, and it’s just a fun gun - I find I have a lot more fun with the finer reticle. All of the LPVOs I had were FFP and were chunky at max magnification. If the reticle didn’t cover...

    Hard trigger

    You can swap in lighter springs (to a point) - perfect for range use, you’ll want to test any carry ammo as this can cause light strikes on hard primer ammo. Anything beyond that, you want professionally done. Revolvers are like little Rube Goldberg machines inside, and a couple thousandths off...

    Why AI?

    The cool factor is there, most of what you pay for is bulletproof reliability that isn’t needed in a PRS match or banging steel out back. Also they aren’t really optimized for competition shooting. If you have a rifle that you’re going to bang around on a 6000 mile flight, before banging in a...

    Pressure Signs, Where do you stop?

    Ejector swipes can be really brass dependent too. In my 300, I’d run mild loads in Hornady brass that came out looking like a kaboom was imminent (a perfect imprint of both ejectors) despite easy bolt lift and primers looking perfect. I switched to Lapua, and at the same MV (load was a little...

    Problem with Redding Premium Die set for 300 Win Mag

    Mixed pickup brass is for handguns and ARs! The cost of new premium brass in a precision bolt rifle, once spread across 5-10 firings, is less than the cost per shot of barrel wear. When you figure in brass life sometimes it gets really weird. It was cheaper to run my 300 PRC on Lapua brass...
