Put a little AX Covert setup together
lovin it.
Niice. What’s the weight/balance like? 13” forend?
Nice. What case did you use?
Its ass heavy for sure. Locks up tight on that Sawtooth plate though, so not bad on a tripod. I'll have to weigh the whole shebang later. And yes, had to use the 13" forend to clear the 16.5 barrel ok.
Case is a Pelican 1510 I just plucked the foam on. It fits everything suprisingly well. I can't put a wmlrf on and leave it mounted though. I'm messing with a backpack option for that.

Yep.
Those things are a pain to get together I hear. I have all the parts except for the plastic female catch. Do you just want screws? If so PM me and we can figure ot all out or just call me on Monday. Heading to pick up kids now.

I see Euro sells a 10” handguard… wonder how it’d look. certainly wouldnt help the ass heaviness but they were never barricade guns lol. Was thinking about doing something similar for an nrl hunter legal build
I think the 16" hanguard 20" barrel configuration is really pretty ideal for general 308 use. But I was trying to stay close to the original AX Covert configuration.
Thanks, been the lucky owner for over 10 years. A very accurate rifle with 250 gr Scenars and Lockbase.
Still on the original barrel and @ 1000 meters groups not much bigger than an A4 sheet of paper.

Guys,
which Harris model was used with the L115A3?
Cant seem to find the correct spec. Guess it is one with the adapter for a sling swivel stud?
I am fed up with the AI bipod. I use an Atlas on my AW but would like to try the Harris just for the sake of originality.

The temptation is strong.There is a sweet trg available locally. I am tempted to trade something for it. But not sure what. One for one it be a AE MKii or an lmt mws.
Yep if trgs had prefits stocked and were a little faster for barrel changes it would be money

I have been using my DTA for the same reasons, picked up some extras and like the ability to change calibres.

Here's a new one...
I was cleaning my AT and noticed that the emblem that fits into the side skin was gone. Being that it can't fall out when the skin is on, it must have dropped out when I was installing the comp trigger.
PIC for reference
Is this a part that MHS would have? Any help would be appreciated.

I put a little drop of crazy glue on the backside of those bastards so they stop falling out
Lads - what velocities are we seeing in a 20” 308 with M118LR?
Thinking of giving my factory 26” barrel a haircut.
Thinking of giving my factory 26” barrel a haircut.
My TacOps has a 21" Kreiger and I get about 2525 fps with M118LR as measured by the Xero
So I bought this ammo thinking it said ELD-M and didn't even notice the picture of the deer, LOL. But what a surprise. The 130 Bergers shot well too.
My clone m118lr is getting 2560 out of my 19.75"
Edit: for comparison. My 25" m40a5 gets 2692.
Recipe I follow loaded to 2.82" coal
I’m getting 2700 on the nose with the factory 26” tactical braked barrel. Measured with the Xero.
I think I’ll run the numbers, but can already see the mobility gain will outweigh the velocity Loss with a PRS 1 MOD suppressor brake.
Where did you find a mountain any where near Ames ?
One more data point. 16" gas gun spits the same ammo at 2505.
Not a huge loss of fps from 16 to 20 if mobility is your goal.
Do you have access to M118LR?
Hopefully my AT will be leaving the UK soon, it's coming with a 16" 308 barrel.
Im keen to try something like M118LR, but couldn't find a source for it.
I’m not running it at points matches this year. I’ll run it at club though
You would with a recoilxbrake on the end.... @Vivacious Stallion preach the gospel on this heathen. Careful tho... We might trigger @Smooth_87
I’m going to contact AAC tomorrow and get the thread pitch for their Ranger 7. That way I can confirm if he makes one with that pitch. (I hit him up on IG after talking to you and he wasn’t sure of the R7’s thread).
But yea, if so then yes
I put that can on my ATX chassis rig the other day and it was comically front heavy. I have a Tbac Magnus on its way that I plan on using at some local and silencer required 2 day matches this year.
I'll definitely be running that Hybrid silencer setup when I make it out to one of the ELR steel matches at Raton this season.

What caliber are you running in ELR and how does the hybrid perform in said caliber? I presume by Hybrid you mean the SiCo hybrid.
Years of being surrounded by corn traumatized me; driving me to the west where I can ski and provide limited benefit to society.Where did you find a mountain any where near Ames ?
The clones had a great season this year (for us)!
I am definitely not experienced in the ELR match arena (only one local match so far), I shoot PRS matches and some 2 gun. I am shooting 300 PRC generally the 225 eldm at 2950 fps, but have also tried the 230 A tips. I am fairly close to Raton, so I am hoping to shoot a serious match this year if I can convince one of my buddies to be my spotter.
That SiCo Hybrid was my first can and I enjoy using it on gas guns. With the standard end cap I found it to be fairly unpleasant on the 300 prc barrel. The new addition of that RecoilX brake has breathed some new life into that can for me and improved its performance at least with that cartridge.
Just an FYI, true m118lr seems to shoot right at 2550 out of almost anything in temperate weather.
I'm getting about the same (2550FPS) from Federal GMM SMK 175gr in the same weather.
