    AI AT 5 round magazines?

    Is there a 5 round AI AT magazine? Looking for one for hunting season, but it appears there is no such thing...

    Range Report Hornady 147's coming apart...

    I'll have to check my lot number, but I have fired a couple boxes of the 147's without problems. The high BC of the 147's are great for short barrel 6.5CM's.

    18.5" .308 Barrel vs. 20"

    When I cut my Savage .308 from 24" to 18.5" I only lost something like 15fps per inch. You won't be losing much at all going from 20" to 18.5"

    Need help to get the proper cheek weld on my AICS 1.5

    My Impact Sport Muffs hit the cheek piece on my AI, but my Peltor's do not hit the cheek piece. I would just get lower profile muffs - changing your entire scope setup just to fix your hearing protection interference problem is kinda doing things backwards.

    Should I trade my POF towards an MDR?

    It all depends...if you are looking for a semi-auto for a practical application, I would say, yes, there are probably better options out there than the POF. If you like either gun based on the style, design, gives you a warm fuzzy, whatever, that's up to you to decide. I've owned a POF P308...

    Range Report Short barrel 6.5Creed?

    I'm running a 18" 6.5CM with Hornady 147gr ELD-M and it's a hammer. Drops a little more due to slower muzzle velocity, but that has zero effect on making hits.

    Radio recommendations

    FRS radios from Walmart/Target/Cabelas/Bass Pro, etc. will be the easiest and least expensive option, but range will be seriously lacking. If you want/need better performance amateur (ham) radio will get the job done, but it requires taking a test and getting licensed (easy to do).

    Range Report Defender 6.5 CM 142 gr SMK Match Ammo

    Have you given the Hornady 147gr ELD a try? with a G1 BC ranging from .697 to .637 it will perform better at long range than either the 142gr SMK or the 140gr ELD.

    Range Report Short barrel 6.5CM ammunition selection results

    This is a brand new barrel. Probably 60-80 rounds max. I'm hoping it speeds up, but even if it doesn't I'm pleased with the results.

    Going to cross post from this thread: Anyone shooting the 147 ELD-M I recently put a shorter barrel on my rifle and here are the findings of my search for the best factory ammo for this setup. AI AT 6.5CM with Accurate Ordnance 18" barrel w/ suppressor, and factory loaded ammunition: Range...

    Here's some of my findings: AI AT 6.5CM with Accurate Ordnance 18" barrel w/ suppressor, and factory loaded ammunition: Range conditions were 75*F, and roughly 6500 feet ASL. Hornady 120gr AMAX: Average velocity at muzzle = 2748fps Hornady 140gr ELD-M: Average velocity at muzzle = 2530fps...

    Rifle Scopes Help with 1-6 or 1-8 for 16" 308 AR

    I have the Razor Gen2 1-6x on an AR-15 and love it. Haven't used a Nightforce, however. This deal would be hard to beat:

    Rifle Scopes Ring height vortex razor 4.5-27

    My personal suggestion would be the 1.1". I just mounted the same scope to an AI AT and used Seekins High (1" height) rings and it's just about perfect (for me anyway). Some guys like their optics way up high and compensate with elevated combs - where as I prefer mine as low as possible. YMMV

    Scar 17 or LWRC REPR

    Since you've already had the SCAR, get the REPR and see how you like it. If you don't like it, you can always resell it and get the SCAR. If you don't get the REPR you'll always be wondering in the back of your mind if you were missing out.

    Night Vision If you cant afford a pvs 14?

    I bought and subsequently sold a used PVS-14 a few years ago for $1800, which isn't too far from your price point. It was in great shape and the tube was almost perfect. Deals can be had - you just have to keep a sharp eye out for them. I would have kept the PVS-14, but I needed the money for...

    Hunting & Fishing New Zealand Sheep Hunting!

    While I have no desire to hurt native animal species, habitat, food sources, etc. etc. it would be much more fun and interesting if the Rocky Mountains had an overabundance of goats, sheep, or whatever, so we had something to hunt year round...
