    New rifle won’t group at all

    Picked up a Ruger American Predator in 6 creed for a cheap coyote gun. Brought it to the range today and it was all over the place. I got it as close as I could at 50 yards and at 100 the spread was terrible. Almost a foot in every direction. The scope and rings are torqued to spec and leveled...

    Mlok covers for XLR chassis? (Hunting)

    Hi all, hoping to hear from people who hunt with their XLR chassis in the cold and are more ingenious than me. I’ve got an Element Gen 2 (with mlok slots) that I love but I had an issue last year with the fore-end freezing to my pant leg while sitting (lol welcome to Maine). I currently have...

    Lube for suppressed AR

    I have used Castrol motor oil for my MR223 and it is perfect for it. But I read about how motor oils actually worked after seeing a video about coagulation/flocculants of water which diverted me to wikipedia, to read about motor oil additives. As ARs do not regurly have oil filters on them the...

    Icecold chassie

    Hey. I was recently out hunting with my new mdt lss chassie for my rem700 rifle. And found it to suck the heat out of my hand. Do anyone have an idea how to insulate the front without adding alot of rails with covers?

    Range Report Cold bore shot help

    I have about an inch high cold bore shot.(barrel had about 20-30 shots threw it) Shots 2-4 are holding together good. I'm new to long range shooting. I'm curious if this is normal? How do I accommodate for this while hunting? Do I create two different ballistic programs? Any help would...

    What are your cold bore POI shifts?

    OK guys, how much of a shift is there from your cold bore shot vs. firing on a warm bore? How much do you think your bore warms up by firing one shot? I have reasons for asking that I will post later. Thanks in advance, Hootie

    NEWER SUBJECT: Can cold bore zero errors be ...

    JBed out? I'll be posting some pics of targets showing that (here comes some controversy), a gun's CBZ errors can be eliminated by re-conditioning the barrel with JB. This is sure to start some discussion!! Maybe not the best place for ELR discussion, but when you're talking about 2000 yard...

    Warm vs. cold Velocity's

    Kind long, but bear with me. I just did an experiment with my 300 WM & H-Retumbo. Some may remember that I asked a question about cold velocity's a while ago, as my pet load of 78gr H-Retumbo with 208 A-Max that usually gives 2911 fps had changed. That load was tested in 50* temps. During the...

    What makes an AW ideal for cold weather?

    I know they have a bolt with small channels cut into it, to give it less surface area for icing, and a exteneded magazine release, but it that it? Could you upgrade an AE with those simple things, say by getting a gunsmith to partially flute the bolt and order in a spare extended mag release?
