    Would you care to explain that in a little bit more detail and/or provide the source you are referencing?

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    So here is a question I've never been able to find an answer to: How does the FN Ballista's bolt compare to that of the Barrett MRAD (for 338)? I remember seeing a Shotshow youtube clip where Barrett himself was discussing and taking apart a 338 MRAD, and he mentioned specifically that the bolt...

    Anyone have a source for FN SPR action screws?

    Really? FN said they don't have any?

    AI .308 Twist Rate vs Year of the Bullet

    I'll have to get my hands on some 185's and try them out for myself (my barrel is a 1:12). I've had no reason to complain about the twist rate so far, granted I'm not really into the F-class style of shooting.

    Fact check my plan, .308 vs. 6.5 Creedmoor, gas gun?

    I'd recommend finding a friend or a range that would let you borrow or rent a 6.5 bolt gun and trying it out for yourself. It has its advantages for certain applications. But for what you're trying to do, and given that you're looking at 500 yards and in, I just don't know think you'll enjoy...

    Fact check my plan, .308 vs. 6.5 Creedmoor, gas gun?

    Well, I'm not surprised to the OR's comments deleted here as well...he seems to have been making the rounds. I think you're answering your own question here. - You're already tooled up for .308. - .308 has a solid reputation in a semi-auto platform. - You're looking to hunt and target shoot...

    Recommendations for rifle

    Where are you planning on hunting? Out west? Tree-stand hunting or backcountry? FWIW, I (as well as many others I'm sure) have gone down this path before with trying to build a rifle that has dual-uses (target and hunting). What I've learned the hard way (through many painful hikes) is that a...

    AI .308 Twist Rate vs Year of the Bullet

    Outside of hunting the big end of the big-game spectrum, who is using 215gr bullets for .308 platforms? F-class? Do any military or LE use it? Anyone in the PRS or similar organizations? I know that Berger's 185gr bullet has gotten a lot of praise with the long range crowd. I suppose you could...

    A betting man would say that you, or at least your current profile, is not long for this forum. Enjoy the rest of your day!

    AI .308 Twist Rate vs Year of the Bullet

    I get the feeling that the know-it-all's on this site are going to be a lot more belligerent than they were on the scout site. I really don't get what you're hinting at. Nor do I understand what your pictures are supposed to demonstrate. I guess anyone and everyone who has shot a bear or...

    AI .308 Twist Rate vs Year of the Bullet

    I see this kind of argumentative loud mouthing all the time. So I guess by your logic, a sewing needle or, to be more realistic, a 77gr .223 round traveling at 2,500ft/sec is just as capable of killing a bull elk as a 165gr .308 or .30-06 round traveling at the same speed? Mass is a major...

    AI .308 Twist Rate vs Year of the Bullet

    You're kidding right? I get that there are newer cartridges, like 6.5 Creedmoor, that have better ballistics out at range. But there is a big difference between hitting a target at distance and putting one down at distance. Go check out Big Game Rifles and Cartridges and Bryan Litz's Applied...
