    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    I don't understand why we have to guess the load, but here are the 150gr .308 loads on Speer's website. One breaks 3k in a 24" barrel, 52.8gr of PP2000MR, is that what you're saying your load is? Thanks for the parts list on the AR-10, it looks like it would cost me about $1,700 to get all the...

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    Interesting, are you seeing any kind of unusual contact or binding with the slightly longer mid-length gas when you hand cycle the bolt? I have a mid-length tube laying around too, if it seems to fit, I'll just use that l with an SA block on the SFAR and if I don't see much difference it will...

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    Looking forward to hearing how this works for you, I like the SA gas blocks I have on various AR-15s. I put one on my POF Rogue briefly and it didn't seem like it bled off enough to get that rifle optimized suppressed. Did you reuse the gas tube from the SFAR, or did a mid length tube fit? I...

    What's your parts list for that rig, aside from the WC barrel?

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    I ran some Hornady Black 168gr Amax and some more Win 150gr Deer Season XP through my 16" last time I had it out. The XP group was almost twice the size of the earlier group out of that box, could be the 300 WSM load work I was doing was starting to get to me, kind of looks like trigger control...

    Burris XTR Pro Parallax Issue

    Thanks for the response, I figured it could be something about my eye, but then why would all my other scopes not show the same issue? I've rarely had a scope where the Parallax dial was dead on, but they have always been reasonably close. What bothers me about this scope is that the parallax...

    Burris XTR Pro Parallax Issue

    I recently sold off my trusty old Vortex AMG to pick up a Burris XTR Pro for a range only rifle. I like pretty much everything about the Burris except that when adjusting the parallax for sharpest focus, the yardage markings on the dial consistently shows a little less than a third of the...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    With hunting season coming up, I got the itch to try a copper bullet in my 18" LW ARC, as well as a replacement for the 100gr TGK I used last year since I can't seem to find any anymore. Was glad to see that the 103gr ELDX liked the 29.3gr sweet spot of LVR just like the TGK and 108s. I need to...

    SWFA SS fixed scopes discontinued?

    Anyone heard anything lately on the new SWFA offerings? I need replace a Nikon that went TU on a hunting rifle, and I keep thinking an updated SWFA 3-9 with a covered windage, locking elevation and maybe a simple tree reticle would be pretty sweet replacement.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    What's the weight on that rig?

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Sounds pretty good to me, I was back and forth between 18" and 20" for my 7 PRC Tikka Carbon Six prefit, so I finally just ordered 19". Just picked up some Staball HD to try once my barrel comes in.

    Ruger SFAR chewing brass

    Just to check, you're saying that you had a 20" SFAR, ran it with a can, then sent it to a smith to chop the barrel to 16". Now you have a 16" with rifle length gas, and running it with the same can/configuration the bolt velocity is higher than when it was 20"? If so, that's obviously the...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Nice! What's the chambering, and what stock is that?

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    I dig that, do the factory mags have enough OAL to run long bullets like 75gr and 80gr ELD's?

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I've been playing with Staball Match a bit with 108gr, 105gr and 90gr in the ARc, and it's not quite as fast as LVR/CFE/2520, but I'm pretty happy with the velocity and accuracy so far, seems like a pretty good fit.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    That's pretty cool, the TL3 is SBR'd? Do you run any other short tubes on it?
