    Rifle Scopes PRIMARY ARMS GLX HUD DMR problem

    Most people shoot 24" bolt guns in .308 and virtually noone runs a 16" 308 as a precision piece, especially with 175 grain ammo. Its a silly thing to do. Slow cartridge combined with heavy bullet and short barrel. They would be idiots if they matched the BDC to your 1% of the buying public...

    Primer pockets and seating... WTH!?!?

    I use a 21st Century click adjustable priming tool because, like you, I didnt like the lack of control of priming depth. Hand loading primers one at a time is slower but you cant beat the control and feel. I also wet tumble and have no issue seating primers. It seems like a lot of money, but IMO...

    Rifle Scopes NX8 Mil-XT and TReMoR3

    I find my Tremor3 is increasingly hard to see and use under 8x in my Leupold 3.6-18×44. Seems an odd pairing for a 1-8× scope. Is there some difference in the stadia width or feature set for the 1-8× or is it the exact same reticle in my Mark5? Also will it be .2 Mil on the 1-8× for the T3?

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce SHV vs. Viper PST GEN 2

    I dont get people saying the SHV glass is just "better" full stop. They seem very much the same to me in the area you use. The SHV is definitely better outside the center 50% and SHV has better edge to edge clarity for sure, but in the center... very close when propperly adjusted. This is...

    Rifle Scopes So, what about Leupold Mark 5 ?

    I would like to add some info on my experience with my 3.6-18×44 Tremor 3 illuminated. First, I have to commend Leupold for their illumintion. Leupold used to have some of the worst illuminated reticles in the industry. Many years ago I used a Mark4 illuminated 3.5-10× scope and not only did...

    300 blackout sbr upper recommendations

    I dont for a minute believe the point of a 300 blackout is a very short barrel, ut is to run suppressed and unsuppressed, supersonic and subsonic. Very short barrels mean very short rails. I hate short rails. No room to stretch out my grip, fit IR laser/illuminator, etc. I had a single...

    Best 34mm QD Mount for AR10?

    A Larue mount would fulfill your needs pefectly. You would not notice any shift with a 1 MOA gun and 500y max range.

    Suppressors

    Why are you wanting a 5" silencer for hunting? Thats REALLY short. I use an Omega 300 which is 7" and 14oz. and it is really awesome on my 6.5 Creedmoor. I dont mind the length since its not some ultra compact SBR role. And 7" is still on the short side of .30 cal cans. It was $800, so out of...

    Body armor recommendations...

    Here is the easy button answer. Hesco 3610, in the SAPI size that fits you. The only thing you will have to worry about is some close range hunting rifles in magnum calibers or larger and dedicated AP rifle ammo. Level IV only covers SOME of those big magnum rifle rounds and SOME of those AP...

    Body armor recommendations...

    This whole threat level chart is bullshit. First you say special threat plates are bullshit, then you put up a chart that suggests all level 3 plates can stop XM193, which is not true, in fact level 3A+ plates would only be certified to stop pistol rounds by NIJ but that mekes them not bullshit...

    Best 34mm QD Mount for AR10?

    What amount of variation is unacceptable when unmounting and remounting? What type of accuracy is your current rifle capable of? What are your precision needs? Larue works for sub half MOA shifts on rifles in the .5 to .75 MOA accuracy range. Some people refer to that as "unacceptable" or...

    35mm level reccomendation

    Ha, funny. I know mine are not and are easily fooled, thus the level.

    35mm level reccomendation

    I am looking for reccomendations for a scope tube mounted 35mm level for a lightweight precision build. What is out there that will work with a 35mm Leupold Mark5 3.6-18×44 that is relatively low profile?

    Starting out -- rangefinding binoculars for ranging and spotting?

    Personally, I use a micro red dot mounted to a full spotter to aim quickly, then a LRF (Kilo 2000) mounted to the spotter for ranging. This is pretty fast for most uses and allows enough stability to range accurately. Most competitive PRS type competition guys will already have pre ranged the...

    Lower Receiver for an SBR

    They all can be great or have issues. I have seen some Aeros offset to one side with a thick and thin wall, seen various uppers line up better or worse, really... you have to rate each one in hand then match to an upper for fit and finish. Aero has a nice finish and the screw to take the slop...

    Ruger Precision Rimfire Bolt problem

    Mine had to clearance plastic from the chassis for about 100 cycles. Till then little black shavings came off the chassis and you could feel the bolt drag, especially in long throw mode.

    9mm Compact Carbine/PDW Ideas?

    Been trying to decide CMMG Guard, Sig MPX, or CX Scorpion myself. Guard has the Glock mags and lightweight but not super compact for storage, Scorpion is least expensive and easy to modify but most blowback recoil and proprietary mags, Sig is really nice but has proprietary mags that are not...

    Lightest quality one piece mount

    That is the hive knowledge, though I have Larues with semi autos that shoot 0.6 MOA and dont seem to be having issues... and everything is technically wrong with Larue from vertically split rings, to levers, to minimal bracing, to using 6061 aluminum instead of 7075 or 2000 series aluminums...
