    Savage Stealth in 6.5 - First impressions

    Well, I did not wait till spring. Picked up an Athlon Cronus 4.5x29 on that Cabelas sale, super nice scope. Took to the range today to zero the scope. Used America Eagle 140 gr OTM. So far, best 3 shot group was 3/8" on round count of 24,25 and 26. 1/2" 3 shot group on round count 27,28...

    Savage Stealth in 6.5 - First impressions

    This seems to be the only factory option for us lefties. I am considering this but will wait till spring in case any other manufacturers provide something. If not, I'll have my first Savage rifle.

    Proof Research or JP

    Mega has discontinued their barrels, they will only fulfill the back orders and are not taking new orders. I have gotten several emails from them confirming this.

    Pick a 6,5 Creedmoor Barrel for my M5E1

    $1000.00 for a barrel/bolt/bcg is a lot of money. Theres got to be options almost as good for a good bit less. Also, seems like all the drop in barrels are rifle length gas tubes. Everyone says +2 for 22" barrel but seems manufactures are doing that.

    Is this receiver set DPMS or Armalite?

    So Mike, There are 6.5 Creedmore barrels with +2 gas systems and are coming with a bolt. So, guessing that completely avoids that whole problem.

    Is this receiver set DPMS or Armalite?

    A question I do have is, with an Armalite upper, does it matter if the barrel says DPMS. i was on some sites where they say the barrel is DPMS but I was under the impression that the only thing an Armalite is, is a different shape, different thread pitch (different barrel nut) and take down...

    Is this receiver set DPMS or Armalite?

    I have a Ruger SR762 and it takes PMAGS. You get 3 when you buy the rifle. The receivers are Armalite. Made from 7075 T6 Aluminum. https://matrixarms.com/products/stripped-7-62-upper-lower-set

    hand guards with locking tabs, needed or not?

    I have an Armalite compatible upper receiver and I am looking for a hand guard. I can get one from the manufaturer but it does not have locking tabs. Is it necessary to have those tabs (building a 6.5C) or not that important?

    Mega .308 barrel + BCG pair up

    I contacted them and asked this question. Any idea when you will be shipping 6.5 creedmore barrels. What lenght is the gas system. Is the bolt that comes with the barrel a rubber city? Mega responded with two emails. 1):We will be sending the remaining 6.5CM barrels on order out by months...

    Build or Buy? Chasing a sub 7.5lb 16"-18" .308

    The lighter the weight, the more it recoils.

    Left-handed AR15 Reccomendations

    I shoot left handed, you really only need an ambi-safety, no need for an ambi-mag release or charging handle (or for that matter you really do not need an ambi-safety). Stag, https://www.stagarms.com/left-handed-rifles/ Noveske, Left Hand Rifles Noveske AR Rifle Rock River, Rock River Arms...

    thoughts on putting 1 scope ring on forearm=effecting accuracy

    I thought the problem with putting 1 ring on the receiver and 1 on the forearm was that the two different pieces move/flex when shot and put torque on the scope tube (risking damage to the scope).

    Gap 10

    Why do all you guys put brakes on AR style 308's? They hardly have any recoil without a brake?

    Dad needs a new multi purpose rifle.

    Had a Browning ABolt in 7MMRemMag, kicked like a mule and hated it. Shot it 14 times and sold it. I got the Ruger SR762. Piston gun (tames recoil) and recoils like a pussycat. All that I did was put on a clip-on Limbsaver to stop the plastic M4 stock from digging into my shoulder and...

    New Addition! Mega MA-TEN Megalithic

    Interested to see how that shoots. My next AR will be something very similar to that but I was thinking the Rainier 20" Ultra Match barrel with their Nickel BCG and a SWFA 3.-15 scope.

    Gap 10

    Could be wrong on the prices but aren't GAP's about 3k? JP rifles are running almost 4k now.

    Megalithic Build

    Not sure why the world thinks they need sound loudening devices on AR's (AR's recoil very little) but nice setup.
