    This is really cool, I’m excited to see what you come up with. You really think you can make AICS mags work? I would also buy but I’m in Canada, not sure is stock skins would be an ITAR item or not.

    It’s a Innorel ST384C off Amazon with a sunwayfoto IB-30 inverted ball head. The tripod is awesome, the head is a great light weight option for a fraction of the cost of the real RRS unit but it has some flex even when locked up. When I bought this setup RRS stuff was almost impossible to get in...

    Haven’t shot this thing in months, finally got out to brush off the rust and get in some tripod practice for whitetail season next month. Quick re-zero and a 3 round group then onto steel at 300 and 500 today.

    338 Lapua Magnum

    Thanks a bunch, I'll start at 80 and work my way up. I'll report back so there's some data on here.

    338 Lapua Magnum

    Has anyone here loaded the 270gr ELD-X with N565? doesn't seem to be any data online for this combo. Vihtavouri website has data for 250 and 300gr but no 270. Vihtavouri has min 80.4grs to max 90.3grs for the 250 scenar and min 77.2grs to max 84.9grs for the 300 scenar. Should I just split...

    30-06 build for long range!

    Yes you would need a new bolt with a .473” bolt face. If you build either one, use a good brake like the APA and it will recoil nice and easy, just not for the people beside you. Nothing wrong with a 7rem mag but the 30-06 with good hand loads will give damn near similar performance with...

    That’s too bad, I was going to buy one until I saw that. Going custom now.

    Was able to check one out in a local shop today, they are the light weight hunting contour in case anyone else was curious

    30-06 build for long range!

    2941 with 175’s, that’s awesome! I was going to build a custom 30-06 but now I’m going to buy a 30-06 conversion kit for my Desert Tech SRS. I’ve wanted a precision 30-06 for years. So great to see a few people here keeping the old war horse alive!

    has anyone here physically seen the new 30-06 barrels that Desert tech makes? Just curious if they are the standard barrel profile or the light weight hunting profile, the website doesn’t say. I realize they aren’t popular so it’s a long shot.

    I wouldn’t be surprised at internal issues but I truly hope, if any of this video is true, that it’s the come to Jesus moment they need to pick up their socks. I’m pretty invested in the SRS platform and hope they succeed in pulling through what ever this is.

    Appreciate the thoughts. This kit will just be my cheap to load, low recoil fun barrel for general shooting on steel out to probably 800 max. Maybe the odd the coyote and I don’t shoot to save fur. Anything further than 800(or more energy required) I’ll use the the 30-06 or 338.

    Good to know. Do you think it’s worth trying anything heavier like 85/88gr with the 26” barrel? Or just stick to 75’s and keep it simple

    Got my 223 kit today. Waiting for some 80gr ELD’s then I’ll take it out for some testing. 223, 308, 338L so far and a 28” 30-06 PVA prefit on the way.

    I bought it (very lightly) used, few hundred rounds on it. I’m up in Canada and ordering a new kit from SAC is a pain in a** and there’s one distributor who sells them up here and they price them quite high. And they only offer 18-22” barrels, wanted a longer one. Took some patience to wait for...

    Finally snagged a SAC 223 kit with a 26” 7.7 twist Bartlien for my M2. Should show up next week, can’t wait to have a 223 in the rotation again.

    Has anyone had any luck with trigger mods to the newer A2/M2 trigger to get rid of creep and lower the weight a bit? My M2 has an inconsistent amount of creep. It's always there, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Once it finally gets through the creep it breaks crisp. I feel like this trigger...

    Finally got my 7PRC together

    I used to have ATACR’s too… not anymore. Next purchase will be the 5-42

    Finally got my 7PRC together

    Another option for a great crossover scope is the March FX Highpower 4.5-28x52. It has a massive FOV compared to most so 4.5 power has been plenty low for close in stuff for me and having 28 on the high end is great for long shots, and it’s light enough to not be a boat anchor. I’ve been using...
