I take it you had to machine the sleeves?

Any chance we could get a list of oversized bolt carriers to prevent carrier tilt? Young National Match seems to be old news since they sold to a different holding company. I had been thinking of buying a JP - are they considered oversized?

Ok talk to me about centering the bolt carrier. I'm rebuilding my Grendel which is not giving impressive groups, and I'm planning on loctiting it, but I'm curious about how you go about centering a bolt?

And another reason to buy one lot and not from several. I'm glad most of my stash is from the same lot, yikes.

Making 11 dummy rounds and feeding all 11 over and over again until they all feed perfectly is your friend. Watch when one doesn't feed. Is the tip of the bullet crossing the hole and hitting the far side of the chamber edge? Straight wall issue. Fix by grabbing a monkey wrench and opening up...

Reliable feeding is more than just the action. It's the chassis/stock you choose. I've run AWs behind a TL3, GAP Tempest, and a Lone Peak Fuzion, and all three required tuning the feed lips and raising the mag catch. The problem wasn't with the actions. KRG's standard mag catch is just so dang...

Interesting. I used it in a 6.5 Timberwolf (6.5 Dasher basically) back in the day and wasn't anywhere near max. That might explain the wild swings I got.

LVR is great for speed, but it's not super temp stable, and the ES numbers can get pretty big.

I was recently considering going ARC over my current Grendel. I'll bite. What's up with 8208 XBR? I decided against ARC just based on the lack of good data for 8208 XBR and 107s (I have 3500 107s on the shelf and about 16 lbs of XBR on hand) and ordered a new Grendel barrel yesterday instead.

What kind of animal stays at Max power?? I usually shoot my 25x at 12-22x depending on how much eye box I need, how much detail I want to see, and how much field of view I want. 18x is where I default to though. The only advantage to a fixed power is that the eye piece is cheaper to...

I've never had any issues with my Alpha brass. I guess my smith just got it right with his reamer choice. He's been shooting the same reamer specs with Peterson and 105s and it's been great for him too. Sucks to hear it didn't work out well for some here. New components for a different cartridge...

I was getting 2738 with 40gr h4350 under 140 hybrids and alpha brass. 26" barrel

I'm betting you could get 2800 easy with the 112s and ~30gr varget. MBs have shot really well for me out of an XC and x47 in the past. I have about 1200 on the shelf. I wouldn't mind seeing anyone's data on them either.

I keep my Nightforce for the low Parallax setting on a .22. If the FDN 25x or 17x had an 11yds parallax, I'd be running one of those on my .22 instead.

I mean, as you increase magnification it's obviously reducing FOV, but the FOV is very, very good once you're past tunneling. Depth of field is a bit better than an ATACR 7-35. I've never checked actual parallax, so I can't speak to that other than the eyebox on the 25x is narrow enough that...

I can confirm they tunnel. 1.8x-10 tunnels until about 2.5ish, 3-17 tunnels until ~4.5-5, and the 25x tunnels until ~8, give or take - similar to an ATACR. And yes, paying their full price is like buying a Vortex at MSRP. Don't do it. Buy with certs, used, or from EuroOptic or using a MIL/LEO...

Heads up, there's a lot of trash in the other threads. DeathBeforeDismount or his alt, ClamHammer747 has a vendetta against them and pops into every iteration of the topic to trash talk based on his SN3s from 15 years ago. Foundation line is great. I've been running mine in PRS for two years and...

People whining about not being an 8x/10x erector: see the manufacturer's name and philosophy. People whining about weight: see the manufacturer's name and philosophy. If you want bad DOF/FOV/Parallax/mismatched dual focal planes/fish eye/bad eyeboxes, there's a host of 1-10s out there that can...

My beef with the classes is that at least regionally, they're empty. I wish more people would switch from open to the classes because it'd be fun to shoot a gas gun against someone at a match or even the season, or to shoot tac against more than one person. I have a .223 bolt gun that I could...

Sold.
