    .223 Trainer Build on Rem 700, .223 or .223 AI, Smithed or Prefit?

    I talked with Josh at PVA. He is going to true the action up to the existing threads so I can still run a prefit in the future. I ordered a 7 twist Heavy Palma Bartlien today and I have 500 pieces of Lake CIty 5.56 brass, trimmed, weight sorted within a grain and annealed. Should be in...

    Suppressors PRS guys, what cans do you run?

    I run a Sico omega on an asr and it's a great do anything can. Only complaint is that the threads get super sticky and the blast baffle erosion is high for only have 6k rounds on it. That said... I'm considering getting a second one.

    .223 Trainer Build on Rem 700, .223 or .223 AI, Smithed or Prefit?

    That doesnt really work for me. 3 barrels, smithed up would be almost $2100 and the cost per round is over double for loaded .260 with bergers. With the amount I shoot, Id need 2, barrels for one season of matches. That means working up loads and chasing dope in between matches which is...

    So, my match rifle if a defiance, and 23" hawkhill in 260, stuffed in a XLR Carbon chassis. Id like to build a .223 or .223AI trainer. I train at two ranges. %75 of the time at a 300 yard and %25 on a 1100 yard range. Two Questions; 1.) .223 Rem, or .223 AI? I'm looking for the best...

    Were you are now what would you tell yourself as a beginner?

    Dont buy a 308, go straight to a 6.5 and get off your stomach and start practicing positional as well.

    Fluted barrel weight savings worth the money?

    Why so heavy? Can you run a 9/16-24 Threading and reduce your contour to something like a #3 Bartlien.

    Measuring scope height

    Measure your bell diameter. Measure the gap between your bell diameter and the barrel. Measure your barrel diameter at that point. (Bell Diameter/2) + Gap + (Barrel diameter/2)= scope height. If you measure with calipers you will be within .010".

    F T/R Competition Settle our bet. How do you score this? 300 yard F/TR target

    Good deal! Thanks for the info guys!. Also... what would be a better target backing for regular paper targets (printed) that would keep the holes from ripping out so bad?

    F T/R Competition Settle our bet. How do you score this? 300 yard F/TR target

    170 something? How so? We were practicing for the Towanda shoot so we didn't rush it (30 minutes per 20 shots). My barrel was cool enough I probably could have shot it in 15-18 minutes without running into any serious issues. I was mainly stringing it out to avoid heat off the barrel blurring my...
