    22 optic choice

    I meant a 10y minimum, but still adjustable.

    22 optic choice

    Generally I agree with the conclusion that you shouldn't put anything less than what you would put on a centerfire on a rimfire. (I'm not saying you need to match your main centerfire rifle, but you shouldn't put anything less than what you would be happy with shooting on your centerfire) In...

    Tactical Bolt Action Rifle Suggestions

    The base AE is $3600 i believe, $4000 is for the folder model. If you need a folder, the TRG is actually WAY more expensive... Like $6k or so? Both are quality pieces. I'd say try and find some reviews comparing the two. Also see...

    Need helping picking out a gun

    Cookie-cutter solution: 10/22. Plenty of stocks around with picatinny rails to attach whatever you like.

    Tactical Bolt Action Rifle Suggestions

    Did you also check out the AI AE? Much cheaper than the AW or AX models. That would be my first choice. Close 2nd the sako trg22. After that, any action you like + quality barrel + chassis system. I would, considering budget, not get the Remington or Savage offerings, but go for a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Milled the M&P

    Nice M&P, but the Glock wins. That thing is SICK!

    Ready to order AI AE MKIII 308

    Ah yes, I'm very curious about the height of the rail/scope setup. As I've mentioned before, I also went with the AI AE, but I'm still waiting on it. You Americans have it good. About 10 days wait on your order? I'm at 10 months (of which 7 waiting for the rifle, another 3 for paperwork) ;) It's...

    Recorded group sizes with different ammo

    My rifle was a bit inconsistent, but after shooting it shot a bit more (1200+ rds), it started tightening up a bit. I've discarded my findings about which ammo it likes best, and decided to start over. To make my hunt for the "best" ammo a bit more scientific, I decided I should actually...

    Ready to order AI AE MKIII 308

    I just noticed the 24" barrel and no brake. Thought you wanted the 20" with brake. Did you change your mind, or was this one in stock?

    That is sexy! Would love a range report when you get a chance.

    .308 lapua brass life your experience

    I've heard some reports of 40+ (not my experience, but people I personally know), bump sizing, annealing every 5-7. The first thing to wear out appears to be the primer pocket.

    Mid-Range Rifle Build Questions

    I'd probably go for a 6.5x47 lapua with those criteria. - Long barrel life -> longer than 6mm, not as much as a .308 though. I feel it's the best trade-off in barrel life, reloading cost, efficiency at range. - low recoil -> depends, more than 6x47 of course. could add a brake if you...

    Diagnose my OCW

    You only have a .8 grain spread between min and max. Most of these threads I've seen show several grains of spread between min/max loads. Unless you already know you should be in this range with this bullet/brass/powder combination, you might want to try some more loads. That being said, 42.2...

    Advice on $600 low budget long range rifle

    I'd say anything heavy barreled with laminated stock as well. Possibly even get something with a plastic stock, and get a take-off laminate stock or something like the boyd's tacticool ($100 or so). You could always just see how it works out with the plastic stock before going for the laminate...

    Need help deciding on a purchase

    I see this as a kind of "Do as I say, not as I do" situation ;) I'd do the same as you, and buy whatever I wanted. However, I would not recommend anyone to do the same.

    AIAE .308 Velocity Loss Going From 24" to 20" Barrel

    Perhaps not so much a comparison, but I'm pretty sure someone must have chrono'ed a 20" and someone else must have chrono'ed a 24" with approximately the same loads. I'd be interested in some data from a 20" as well. I have a 20" on the way, and have some 168gr SMK's to try when it gets here...

    First time shooting for groupings

    How about your stock? I know you have plenty experience putting .22's in those stocks, and they look great, but how solid is it? Possibly it's not good enough for good accuracy. Personally I'd expect <1" at 50y from a run of the mill .22 with decent ammo. Of course if you're shooting off-hand...

    Need help deciding on a purchase

    If his Remington is supposed to bring up $2400 without the scope, i'm pretty sure it's done up a bit already. So unless it doesn't shoot for you, I wouldn't change anything right now. If the remmy shoots, the DTA would only be worth the upgrade if you could actually afford to own and shoot the...
