    Rifle Scopes Philosophy of high end optics...

    I also think that a lot So much of it is dependent on where you’re at in life. I got back into shooting after a 20 year hiatus while I went out and explored the world. Fast forward to being married, having 3 kids, Work, etc., and all of the sudden thoughts of PRS competition and other...

    Remington 700 VSSF .223 educate me please

    I bought a Remington 700 VSSF in .204 Ruger around 2008. It came in a Bell & Carlson synthetic stock with the aluminum bed, and the barrel was a Sendero contour. That is exactly what you have. I’m like 99.9% sire that “Remington Varmint” and “Sendero” are the exact same barrel contour. I...

    Rifle Scopes QD mount for AR + Rem 700

    I think that the issue you will run into is getting a mount that works for both and gives you the correct eye relief on each platform. Most AR rings are cantilever geometries to move the scope forward for eye relief purposes while simultaneously ensuring that the base is 100% mounted to the...

    Rifle Scopes Philosophy of high end optics...

    This right here. It all depends on what your priorities are. I’m the original owner of a 2002 Ford F-150 with 195,000 miles on it, and it drips oil onto my driveway from a leaking rear main seal. The way that I see it, every year that I continue to drive it, I can afford to dump money into my...

    AR 15 Pistol

    I have a 4.5” .22 lr upper that i shoot in a pistol configuration and love it. So much so that I ordered a 4” 9mm barrel from Craddock for my Quarter Circle 10 9mm lower. Having said all that, couldn’t agree more regarding a 5.5” .223 barrel. It’s just a bad configuration for what was...

    Is it worth doing an AI with the .223?

    Yeah, I reload. I’m not worried about it. I’m sitting on 16 lbs of Varget currently, so I think I’d be covered. Lou

    First rifle build ideas

    Get the MPA production class rifle for $2,500. From what I’ve seen, it’s the best bang for your buck option out there that likely will leave you satisfied for a very long time. You can focus on shooting and not worry about your gear. I just talked a buddy of mine into going the MPA route...

    Is it worth doing an AI with the .223?

    DevilDocAZ, You sound like a version of me 5 years from now. I like to try new things every 8-16 months to keep it interesting. I got a Vudoo, shot it for a year, developed some skill then started shooting .22 lr AR pistols at steel plates just to change it up. Yeah, I’d love to be a kick...

    Is it worth doing an AI with the .223?

    I’ll tell you what guys, you’ve convinced me to do the AI. I think it will give me what I’m looking for, and how could I pass up the potential for a 1/4”-1/2” increase in my pecker length. It’s a win:win! Lou

    Is it worth doing an AI with the .223?

    Reubenski, I actually don’t like to push brass too hard, generally loading to about 85-90% max pressure, which is why I like the idea of the AI. I get a little more case volume which may allow me to hit the next velocity node while still at a reasonable pressure. That’s the hope anyway. I’ll be...

    Is it worth doing an AI with the .223?

    Yep, I hate trimming also. This is an appeal for me.

    Is it worth doing an AI with the .223?

    I wouldn’t say that the Defiance action had anything to do with the divorce. I hid those expenses pretty well lol.

    Is it worth doing an AI with the .223?

    So, I’ve got a barreled action sitting in the corner because I cannibalized the chassis, trigger and scope to put together my Vudoo about a year and a half ago. The barrel is a 26” Bartlein M24 contour in 8 twist, and it’s chambered in .223 Rem. I also have a Defiance Deviant action with both...

    Rifle Scopes 22LR Scope Recommendations

    I had a SWFA SS 10X on my JP barreled AR. It worked pretty well at 50 yards. I’ve replaced it with a USO LR-17 but have yet to sight it in and try it out. Since trying SK S+ in my Vudoo, and getting amazing results, I haven’t shot it since lol. For what it’s worth, the JP barrel is a good...

    Rifle Scopes Got my new Schmidt Bender today, could use some advise.

    I just recently got a PMIi 5-25 as well, and while I like the scope a lot, I wasn’t blown away at 25x. It’s good, but not what I expected. I have 2 USO LR17s, and I honestly don’t think that the Schmidt glass is worlds better. I don’t know. Maybe I just need more time on it. I’ve only had...

    Craddock Precision has 10.5” .223 Barrels in Stock

    Putting this out there as there have been recent threads regarding the scarcity of 10.5-12” .223 barrels. I emailed Craddock last week asking when they would have their 10.5” barrels in stock again, and they became available today. I grabbed one and was told they they only have 10 available...

    Wow, that’s an enviable collection. Beautiful rifles. I’m going to venture into high end PCP rifles after I satisfy myself with my Vudoo V22. I’m not there yet, but it’s getting closer. Lou

    Pistol vs.SBR - Accidental Build Risk
