    For a 16” .308 do I want rifle or mid length gas?

    Ballistic Advantage barrels

    How about the hybrid profiles? I’m more interested in those than the heavy profile barrels.

    Ballistic Advantage barrels

    I’m glad I found this thread. I’ve got a factory aero M5 that shoots pretty decently. The problem I have is that it will throw fliers fairly frequently that will open groups from 1”-1.25” to 1.5”-2.5”. I’ve been wondering if something like a criterion might be better?

    Tripod field shooting with magnums

    im still pretty new to magnums and tripods, but on my wsm i switched to a bag on top of the tripod instead of being clipped in on the arca rail. It seems to take all the vibration out of my sight picture, and allows the rifle to recoil straight back on the bag independently of the tripod.

    Battle of the Savage 110s

    I have a savage model 10 I’ve had for almost 20 years. I then bought a Howa 1500 from brownells and put it in a KRG Bravo. Then I sold that and used the funds to put together an ARC Nucleus based rifle. If I were the OP I’d buy the tactical model and not mess with any “upgrades”. Put...

    ARC Mausingfield or Coup De Grace?

    I was kind of worried about this when I ordered my nucleus. Ted seems to jump from one thing to another and not support his previously offered products. Hopefully I’ll never need parts for my action…

    Suppressors Flow Through Suppressors?

    Have you guys noticed any accuracy concerns with your OSS cans? I just recently got one approved that’s an old stock OSS 7.62. I have it on an also relatively new aero M5. Last time I had them out shooting groups I noticed the first round of each group would fly about 1.5” to 2” high, then...

    Best hunting caliber for barrel length 16.5-20"

    I took a white tail last year with a 20” 6.5cm. 2740fps with a 140gr eldm. I’m hoping to use a .300wsm this year for a little more reach.

    Any .308 Elk/Deer rifle recommendations?

    I think they make .223 sized calibers in the mini chassis. The .308 short action still works with the Bravo. I had one in 6.5cm. For under $1000 it was pretty decent.

    Ar10 300wsm

    #1 is the reason I shyed away from it while I was researching it (I’ve just finished a wsm bolt gun, and was building an AR10 at the time)

    Could someone please help a paper puncher wrap his brain around FFP/SFP in real life?

    So I have a related question: If you are calling shots and using the reticle for holds does it matter if you are using a FFP or SFP if you are calling your own shots and using your own reticle? i.e.- If I have a SFP reticle that is set to a power that makes the measurement .66 MIL instead of...

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action Build

    I got out last weekend and was able to shoot my howa/bravo setup. I got on paper at 50 yards, then went straight back to 200. It got really windy after that. I'd guess the gusts were 35-40mph from right to left. I tried 3 rounds of 120gr, and 5 rounds of 143gr (both Hornady eld factory loads)...

    Looking for shooting bags, help please.

    I've got a Harris 6-9, and sometimes i shoot off a pack. I guess I'm looking for a little bit more of a controlled, stable, rest for shooting groups while working up loads. I've never been very consistent off the bipod.

    Looking for shooting bags, help please.

    What's the reason behind not using a front bag? What do you guys recommend for bipods (besides Atlas, can't swing one right now)?
