    Best Place to pick up an AE MkIII?

    I'm looking to pick up an AE Mk3 in the near future. Preferably in 6.5 Creed or .260 Rem. MHS only seem to have .308 in stock and Europtic was the only other place I could find them listed. Are there other AI dealers that have good deals and are reputable? I'm not in a rush, so am happy to...

    NPOA for Dummies

    Can anyone point me to a good source that describes the Natural Point of Aim process? Or if there is a thread here on SH that goes into detail on what NPOA is and how you build that position? I think I kind of already do NPOA sort of based on the brief descriptions I've read, but have never...

    What are your GAP-10 .308 favorite loads?

    I have varget, IMR 4895 and TAC on hand. Fed, LC and Win brass. Will primarily be using 175 SMKs. 20" barrel. Yes, I'm going to do a standard workup starting with Varget, since every rifle is theortically different. But was wondering if anyone has had any success with either the 4895 or...

    Deals on AI AE MkIIIs? Where are they?

    I keep hearing there are closeout deals on AE MkIIIs out there, but I haven't seen any. I looked at both MHS and Eurooptic. It seemed they were full retail price. Is there somewhere else to look? I'm interested in a 6.5CM or a .260 and thought I remembered reading you could find them for...

    GAP-10 Surefire brake/QD suppressor mount dumb question

    I have a GAP-10 with the Surefire break/QD suppressor mount combo on the way soon. I assume this is not permanently pinned (20" bbl) and can be taken off if necessary, correct? I ask because until I get that Surefire can that fits the QD mount, I wondered if I could take the brake off and use...

    What specifically do people not like about AI stocks?

    I always hear that AI's stocks are either a love or hate relationship. I've shot various AIs (AICS, AEs, AWs) a fair amount and just could never get comfortable behind them. Beautiful rifles and I really want to like them, but I can't get past the stock not working for me. Specifically, I...

    Rifle Scopes Any news on the BEAST?

    Any announcements on the BEAST from SHOT yet? Also, anyone there looked through it, played with it, etc? Was it out on the range on the media day for anyone to shoot with yet? Did the MIL/MIL make an appearance? I hope its all that and a bag of chips - sounds like an interesting scope that...

    Spec me a Winning Tactical Match rifle

    If you were building the "the perfect" Tactical / Precision match rifle - what would it be? Let's say stages are anything from 100-1000 yds. with lots of positional shooting, moving targets, timed stages, etc. You know.... the usual stuff. - Bolt or Gas? - What Caliber (reloading for sure)...

    Why is it better to have a "flat shooting" round?

    Here's my dumb question of the day...... why is there so much emphasis placed on needing a "flatter" shooting round over one that is not when shooting known distances for target shooting, steel, tac matches, etc.? Let's leave wind drift aside for the moment. So if I'm shooting on a 1000 yd...

    The utility of seeing your bullet trace - how do you apply it?

    A side discussion started up in the Rifle scope forum (Best Scope for a GAP-10 - Money no object, almost). I was saying that I prefer to shoot on high magnification most of the time so I can see the precise impact point at long range to then use the mil reticle to make adjustments for the...

    Rifle Scopes Is there an OBJECTIVE rating scale for measuring optics clarity and resolution?

    I've been recently pouring over threads on SH and reading some of the excellent reviews on the various scopes. But one thing has been niggling at me during the whole process..... almost ALL of the scope reviews can only give "subjective" feelings about optics resolution, clarity, color, etc...

    Rifle Scopes Has Premier Reticles fixed their Parallax binding issue?

    I saw this quote by Lowlight in the BEAST thread and wondered what the latest on Premier was, but didn't want to derail the thread. LL said: That pretty much confirms what a buddy of mine experienced with two of his Premier 5-25x. They were beautiful scopes but he sent both back to get...

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope for a GAP-10 - Money no object (almost)

    Hi all, I'm looking to order a new scope fairly soon for a GAP-10 in .308 that (hopefully) should arrive soon. Primary use will be 500-1000m steel, tactical precision rifle matches, etc. I've currently got an S&B PMII 5-25 on my bolt gun, so I definitely give the edge to Schmitty. But I...

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope for a GAP-10?

    My new GAP-10 (.308) ideally should be showing up around Christmas (ordered at SHOTSHOW last Jan) and I need to make a decision on glass for it. I'm a self-admitted Schmitty fanboy. My precision bolt rifles wears a 5-25x PMII and my precision Larue AR-15 has a S&B 4-16 PMII. So the natural...

    I'm considering pulling the trigger on a GAP-10 and am looking for some insight, especially from owners or people who have shot it. I'm on an iPhone, so hard to do much searching for previous threads - so I apologize if these are redundant questions: Of the accessories - what have you guys...

    Storing reloading components

    I'm taking a job outside of the country and unfortunately not somewhere I can take my guns and reloading equipment. I'll probably be gone for 2-3 years and will store my reloading equipment and components. Any suggestions for storage? Since I live in a desert, I'm not terribly concerned about...
