    Noveske DDF Barrels

    ... God forbid someone is in that situation, a rifle that starts at sub MOA and expands to 2.5 after she's good and hot isn't a worst case scenario. I understand that we can't always expect 1 shot 1 kill but with a precision rifle and skilled operator I'd hope the ratio wasn't say 40:1 either.

    I usually zoom in to reference an individual pixel, but I still don't REALLY trust it till I verify it. With good reference marks, you'll be minute of pig out to 150-200, but minute of coyote at 300 - not so much. Suffice to say it is a back up and I've gotten to the point I really only use it...

    Ballistic masturbation = Taken from Tom Givens, one of the best to ever do it - with regard to what most people do at the range.

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    I got that, but my point is - there is allowing for a higher rate of fire with faster cooling, and then there is ballistic masturbation - feels good, accomplishes little. I can appreciate checking out the claims of the manufacturer for a fancy new toy, I'm just trying to understand when you'd...

    anything over 30-32mm tube is a no-go. ACOG doesn't work well. I use it with a clamp on with a 3-18x50 with great success - and medicore repeatability. Its essentially a confirmation of zero and tweak almost every time if you're expecting precision. Its a shame because it is capable of 8-10X...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    So I'll admit, I'm not very tactical. I just kill pigs and coyotes, usually with a 12.5" or 20" Grendel, Noveske builds, Noveske barrels. I struggle to understand what is gained from "heating them up" with 40 rounds and checking accuracy at that point. It is a free country and if you want to do...

    Well, if you can find a NEW, old stock Gen 1 under warranty - I'd probably go that way. The Gen 2 has better battery life (two 18650s vs one) better processor, easy interface, same screen, same lens. You can make it clip on under a 30-32mm LPVO but other than that is a clamp on.

    case to be made... there is a lot I like about the Gen 2 but given the option to swap, I'd have to spend about 30 min with gen 1 before I said no

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Call me crazy, get an extra bolt or two and call it a day... maybe just replace them every 2000 rds if you're concerned.

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    The look great, if they made them in Grendel I'd be tempted - cut, button, chiseled - what ever they are, all the Noveske bbls I'v bought in the past few years have looked like they used a laser to finish them when put under a scope. Also remarkably consistent .6ish MOA. If I needed a barrel...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    1000% agree Creedmore vs Grendel is diesel F250 vs ecoboost F150. 300 blk suppression supersonic = same same vs a grendel, out of an AR, using a Thunderbeast Ultra 7 G2. The only advantages I see the 300 blk having is same mags as 556/marginally more reliable than the Grendel across various...

    Blackout over Grendel = does not compute

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Several moons past this question, truthfully I wish the 12.5" all had another 50-100 FPS, i.e I can't wait to see if 13.X, 14.5 actually matters for the Grendel **with Hornady factory ammo.** Until LRRPF5's magic ammo is released, 12.5" is the shortest I'll go on a Grendel. I'm into his magic...

    There is for sure a venn diagram of internet accuracy, factory ammo accuracy, reloading accuracy, bag accuracy, sled accuracy... to say nothing of 3 shot, 5 shot, 10 shot groups. I'll tell on myself and say that as I've gotten older I have some great days and some days I just don't shoot as...
