    Seekins accuracy

    I've got a 22" seekins upper and lower with a Rockcreek. It's an .875 Dia and flat out laser with the factory 50g fiocchi varmint and the federal Ar varmint ammo. Most 5 shot groups are 1/2" or under. Mine is a 12 twist and 55s are the heaviest it will handle.

    What kind of Valkyrie barrel do you have and how does it shoot?

    Hornady 224 Valkyrie Match 88s are here.

    Well, I shot 40 rounds this am. Conditions were good and I had high expectations ,but I could only get it to group in the 3/4 to 1" range, nearly identical groups as the federal 75 TMJs. The point of impact was 3MOA low and 1 MOA right,compared to my federal 90s...

    Hornady 224 Valkyrie Match 88s are here.

    Who hoo! I finally got my hands on some Hornady Valkyrie ammo. I going to try and get the range tomorrow and see how they compare to the federal gold metal 90s.

    Help with .224 Valkyrie guys/gals...

    Is Savage still selling the rifles, or pulling them all back for recall? I'd be pissed if I were an unsuspecting buyer and drop a grand on a rifle they knew had problems, then having to send it in and not be able to use it this summer. Some guys don't do forum searching before buying, they...

    Bad Cut rifled AR15 barrel?

    Do you use a bore guide? I know JB can get inside the guide and it's hard to get it all out sometimes. I only use it on my rimfire bench guns.

    American Eagle 224 VAL 75 Grain TMJ- FYI

    Yes there are tons of guys complaining about it, and I feel for them after dropping the coin for a new rig. I guess I'm lucky that out of 5 cases, 800 rounds of gold metal 90s and over 200 rounds of the TMJ 75s and a couple boxes of the 60s I'm not seeing any split necks and not a single...

    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    7mm rem magnum shoots so fast that the bullets rise as range increases. And a dumb shit at cabelas telling a customer that the people At night force beat every single scope on a hard surface before boxing them up. I started to bust him, but just laughed instead.

    Favorite AR trigger

    Another vote for Jard. Mine is a crisp 1.5 Lbs on a digital scale. Jard's make my Gisselle feel like a dragging brick, not even in the same category. The Hyper fire would be next best according to my trigger finger.

    *JUST RELEASED* Hornady 224 Valkyrie ammo 88gr ELD-M .545 G1 BC 2700fps

    Has anyone got their hands on any yet? They were saying at dealers in June. June is about gone, but that's par for the corse on release dates. I'd like to find out if it opens up better on impact than the 90 SMKs.

    ...Interesting Post on 224V Accuracy Issues

    The blue gunk is RTV gasket maker. I use it on the charging handle so wet bolt lube and gas doesn't pop me in the eye shooting suppressed. This particular S&W lower had more slop with the upper than I like so I ran a smear near the rear of the lower to tighten things up. The 223 in the back...

    Review of Vortex Fury HD vs. Nikon Laserforce ED LRF Binoculars

    The resolution of the leica's is unreal. everything is so vivid, no color change like others. I've had them a few years, and am still impressesed every time I use them.

    ...Interesting Post on 224V Accuracy Issues

    Mine is a 24" 6.5 twist shilen and its doing well with the 90s. I took it to Wyoming last weekend for prairie dogs. My longest first round hit was 670 yd's. I shot it on a steel range out to 1015 yd's and it grouped about 10", I didn't have a tape. It shot a 4" group at 800 on a 10" plate. It's...

    Rifle Scopes Night Force 15x55x52 Competition

    A guy I shoot with has one and its nice, I shot a few rds through his rifle and liked it better than my 12-42. I didn't do any dialing on it. This was on a 22lr at a benchrest match. I haven't tried one on a center fire but I'm sure it works well, you may run out of adjustment for longer range...

    Help Me Build-Up My 700 SPS Tactical

    Go with some reloading gear if you don't have it already. I have the same rifle in an aics stock and its doing between 1/2 and 5/8" groups, and I think I can get it better with some load tuning. I had the same debate with myself about re barreling, but I've decided to Waite and buy a custom...

    Opinions on best billet lower with most features etc

    I have a billet seekins, my only complaint is the bolt release is sticking, when I empty a mag the follower dosent have enough ass to push it up unless I pull out on it after I use it. Going to polish it up and see if that helps. They are different looking, but it grew on me.

    rimfire in the cold, what do you know about it?

    It really is. Right down to thumb pressure on the tang, Rimfire's are finikie little bastards! But think they will make you a better wind shooter. I know several good centerfire shooters that shoot rimfire also. Tony Boyer, he sure dosent need an interduction, Alan Hall, Jerry stiller viper...
