    Rifle Scopes Lightweight QD Mount for a SCAR 17s?

    Looking to mount a Vortex Razor Gen II 1-6x on a SCAR 17s. I need a QD mount for it. I was going to get a Scalarworks, but was told by a member on here that they may slip on a .308. Not sure if this is the case, but either way if there are alternatives for relatively lightweight QD mounts...

    Suppressors Suppressed Nation Metering Videos.

    So Suppressed Nation/Hanson Bros has been doing some really great suppressor comparisons lately. Here is their latest video on K cans: But if you go to their youtube channel they have also just done .30cal cans and .22lr cans. Huge boon for us consumers, check it out.

    Reading Pressure Signs in a Semi-Auto

    I just started reloading for my AR10, and I'm having trouble identifying press. This is because on this particular AR10, basically all factory loads, book minimum handloads, and even some milsurp are showing slightly cratered primers (but still rounded not flat) and ejector shadow/raised marks...

    Conflicting load data for 308win?

    Looking to optimize two loads for velocity above all else in a 16in AR10: Hornady 150gr Interlocks, and Sierra 155gr Matchkings. Not worried about temp sensitivity in this application. Using Lapua brass and CCI BR2s, but I'm stuck on the powders to test. I've check several reloading manuals...

    Precision Reloading Setup From Scratch.

    Finally have it in the budget to step up from my Lee hand press in a big way. I'd like to start reloading small batches of the best precision and hunting ammunition my budget will allow for my two .308 AR10s (one 16in, one 20in). Said budget is about $1500 for just the reloading equipment...

    Fast and Slow barrels?

    Sorry if this is answered somewhere, I've searched but cannot find anything definitive. There are fast and slow barrels, which is to say there are barrels that given the exact same length and load, can yield significantly different velocities on average. In other words, you can have one barrel...

    Which Cartridge for the 7mm 180gr ELD-M?

    Stop. Please read the whole OP before responding. The relatively new Hornady 7mm 180gr ELD-M has a G1 of .816 and a G7 of .411 when used in a 1:7.5 twist barrel. That is staggering. To get a higher BC (in a non-solid bullet) you need to step up about 100grs to a 285gr ELDM in .338. I want...

    Tikka T3x 300WSM Stocks?

    I'm looking for an aftermarket stock similar to the KRG Bravo for a Tikka T3x lite in 300WSM. However I cannot find ANY stocks the explicitly say they are made for the larger Tikka actions outside of on CF stock on Stocky's. Anyone know any stocks that would fit the larger Tikka action?

    Accuracy and Upper Receivers.

    So in Lowlight's most recent interview with Glen Seekins, Glen claims that on a normal AR upper loading the handguard with a bipod/sling/barricade can throw off POI by as much as "a couple inches at 100y" (at 2:50 in video). Frank seems to heartily agree with this sentiment. The claim seem to...

    Which $1300 Rifle.

    Uses: Making tiny groups and ringing steel from 100y-1400y (max at range) from bench and prone. Hiking & hunting in the mountains. Boiled this down to two options: 1.) Bergara HMR PRO 6.5 Creedmoor. 2.) Tikka T3x action + PVA or Bugholes pre-fit & barrel nut + yodave (or similar) trigger...

    Axial Precision Rifles?

    These folks are making some interesting claims about their rifles here with a video description here. Basically seems like their claim is that if bore, action, and stock are aligned to the greatest degree possible, accuracy and consistency increases. Claiming benchrest accuracy as a result...

    Magpul Hunter Vs. KRG Bravo.

    Obviously the KRG Bravo is a nicer stock than the Magpul Hunter. The Magpul hunter is about $150 cheaper. My question however is simple: is there any difference between the two in terms of mechanical accuracy? The both use bedding blocks, they both free float the barrel. The KRG is clearly...

    Range Report ELD-M Terminal Performance?

    We all know the AMAX was a great bullet for thinner-skinned game. Hornady confirmed anything the AMAX did, the ELD-M should do to. There are a ton of threads all over the net that detail the ELD-M taking game and performing very well, with many people preferring them to the ELD-X. What I...

    Most Accurate Bolt Gun for around $1000?

    WAIT! Before you post "this has been answered X number of times" read the whole post. I have a few specific criteria, and new rifles and actions are coming out all the time. Looking for the most accurate bolt gun for around $1000 give or take. Basically I could throw in a few hundred more if...

    Brown Precision Kevlar Stocks?

    Hello, has anyone use the Brown Precision "Pound'r" stocks here: http://brownprecision.com/precision-stocks/pre-finished-stocks/ ? I'm looking to build a lightweight bolt gun, and they apparently weight in around 16-18oz with butt pad, and (according to posts on other forums) exhibit...

    Rifle vice for load testing?

    Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone uses and can recommend a vice or sled or similar mechanical device to take as much human error out of load testing as possible? I do pretty well, but sometimes I have a hard time knowing if that last % is me or the ammo. Would like to be more sure. Thanks!

    Fastest .224 cartridge in a semi-auto?

    ...and not the earschplittenloudenboomer! To be more specific, which cartridge will launch 62gr-77gr (so not light 40-50gr but no need for the 80-90gr either) bullets the fastest from something around the size of an AR10 (so I'll like .22-06 slide) in a semi-automatic fashion. I'm thinking...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Help me choose a new CCW pistol! *Update*

    I'm looking to add a new CCW pistol to my rotation (along side a Cajun CZ P-01). My Cajun CZ PCR is getting retired as I'm moving to lights on all CCWs after some recent events (will probably sell it on the exchange, PM me if you want to get in early). The requirements are as follows: 1.) Must...

    Bartlein vs. Proof Research pound for pound?

    Wife wants a light but accurate AR, so I will be building one shortly. The question is, should I get a Proof Research 16in barrel at 25.6oz (I believe) or have Craddock or CLE spin me up a 16in Bartlein that weighs about the same? In other words, which will be more accurate at around 25oz? Which...

    Suppressors Marines Getting Serious About Suppressors for All!

    ...potentially of course. Story here: http://www.guns.com/2017/08/11/marines-want-information-on-buying-up-to-194000-5-56mm-suppressors/ I wonder who will land that contract. And I wonder if the requisition requirements for 139db are at the shooter's ear, or at left of muzzle position. And I...
