    Is 6.5 Creedmoor a viable SA cartridge?

    I've only used the Federal 210 Match with them though I would not hesitate to use the CCI BR primers if If could find them. A buddy of mine who is a very good shooter and also competes out to 1K had his .260 pockets open up. He switched to Wolf, they fit tighter and his loads/accuracy did not...

    Is 6.5 Creedmoor a viable SA cartridge?

    My 6.5 Creedmoor loads just finished their 5th firing and they are still doing great. I have had about 25~30 out of 400 primer pockets loosen up. (I still got one last firing from them by putting fingernail polish on the primer.) I had the brass annealed at 4 firings and it still shoots bug...

    SR-25, OBR, LMT MWS , AR-10a Owners question

    Thank you for all the updates. I am looking forward to getting a Krieger or Bartlein barrel with a Centurion Arms rail on the LMT. Please post up a production ready photo on an LMT MWS when you get the chance.

    M1A Smiths

    About 10 years ago Smith Ent. rebarreled my M1A, put it in a McMillan and made it ready for HP Service Rifle competition. The rifle shot very well and Smith Ent. was very easy to work with. Now that I shoot an AR in HP Service Rifle I wanted to put some glass on the M1A. Ultimately, I...

    SR-25, OBR, LMT MWS , AR-10a Owners question

    KULT, The fit looks nice. Would you mind shooting a closer photo of the receiver just above the front take down pin? In these photos it looks like the receiver protrudes out with a sharp corner. It is most likely just the shadow. However, it looks like a great match to the lower and then...

    Service Rifle vs. SPR profile

    This was a 20" Krieger Service Rifle profile that Spartan Precision cut down to 18" and added the SF break. With the 18" and 77's it was banging on a steel 40% IPSC at 740 yards all day long. Cut the barrel and throw on a break and you'll still be at about 20" and can watch your impacts or use...

    22" barrel for 6.5 creedmoor?

    My Spartan Precision 6.5 Creedmoor was just a hair short of 26" plus an older overlap style Surefire break (1/8.5 5R M40 Bartlein). I went with the Surefire SOCOM break so I could borrow a can from an OBR now and again so we cut off the shinny parts. The barrel is now just a hair over 22" and...

    Rifle Scopes NXS 2.5-10x 24mm Mil-R, great scope!

    For those curious about the rifle: The rifle is an old KAC SR15 Match AR with a Kreiger 1/7.7 barrel and Knight's trigger. The NXS 2.5-10x 24mm sits in the lowest (1.125) Nightforce uni-mount for a rock solid cheek weld on a carbine stock. It has evolved into what I felt was the perfect...

    First of Second focal plane

    OK, Rob has a great point. I apologize for thinking in terms of "precision" rifle work only. Vortex, Kahles, S&B and a few others have a variable power firsts focal plane scopes that basically become outstanding "red dot" optics yet give you a great reticle when you need to dial in a bit more...

    First of Second focal plane

    Notice in the photo below, I use the second focal plane NXS 2.5-10x 24 on the 18" AR (0 to 740 yards). However, when moving to longer range targets I switched over to the bolt gun with a first focal plane 5-25x (740 to 1740 yards). Both scopes are great when employed with their own purpose in...

    First of Second focal plane

    I believe that first focal plane in anything under 15x is a waste. Above 15x when you are changing your magnification to improve field of view or reduce perceived wobble yet still want to use your holdovers a first focal plane is outstanding. However, at lower power the reticle subtentions...

    Building my 1st AR15. SPR-ish gun. Update.. Looking for a trigger now?

    Derrick Martin at Accuracy Speaks does the left side modification for match rifles and I believe he writes about it in his book, "The complete guide to AR-15 Accuracy." I'll try to dig it out of one of the boxes of books tomorrow and see what I can find for you. Welcome to Accuracy Speaks...

    Larue OBR in 6.5CM?

    Wes that is fantastic! I can't wait to hear how it turns out. What twist rate and profile did you go with? I have to ask why you went with a 24" tube. I had my R700 with a 22.5" 1/8.5 5R Bartlein 6.5 Creedmoor out yesterday and was hitting consistently on man sized steel at a mile...

    Rifle Scopes NXS 2.5-10x 24mm Mil-R, great scope!

    You will have to ask Nightforce about pricing. As for cold weather, I just got the scope back the day before yesterday and it was about 60F here in Northern CA with a DA of 3280. I can't comment with any authority on cold weather performance. However, the new knobs are exponentially better...

    Rifle Scopes NXS 2.5-10x 24mm Mil-R, great scope!

    I saw the Nightforce Mil-R reticle in a few scopes at SHOT '14 and was very impressed with the design. I typically dial for elevation and hold for wind and the breaks in the horizontal stadia line make fine tuning a hold very easy. Anyway, I sent in my scope to have the reticle changed and...

    LMT MWS 6.5 Creedmoor accuracy expectations

    My 18" SS loves the 168 A-Max as well. I just wish I could find some more!

    CLOSED! **ROUND3 !!**, (100YARD), Semi-Auto, 6group, 30round SHOOTOUT!

    I have a Bartlein on my bolt guns and I've put a few of them in the lathe, the run out is minuscule and they shoot lights out. When I have the funds I'm going to cut the barrel extension off of one of my LMT barrels and put on a Bartlein and a Syrac gas block. I can't wait to see how yours shoots!
