6Arc AR not making sense

To make a short story shorter, I’m gettting 2940+ fps from factory Hornady 108 Match ammo out of a 16” barrel. This doesn’t jive with what I have seen while not being able to sleep.

2900 numbers are from Magnetospeed. Initial doubts were caused when 1.8 mils (assuming 2425 fps) at 300 turned into .8 mils, turned into .4 mils, and still a little high.
I was always just hoping to get 2450, (jbm starting point) so I did not trust it. Shot over Magnetospeed and got 2934-2951 over 5 shot string.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks

20 MOA rail can’t zero at 100yds

Beginner long range wannabe. I have my 1st precision rifle. Bergara Mg Lite 6.5C with a Leupold Mark V 56mm objective. FFL put on a 20 MOA rail for clearance, but at the scope’s dead zero vertical setting, it’s 8-9” high @ 100yds. I have a bench and everything to adjust the scope, but don’t know what to do or if it can be done. I use the bench for my family’s hunting rifles to shoot to ~300 yds.
I’m wanting to work my way up to 800yds+ over time for fun, and thought I’d get it dialed in at 100yds then work my way up from there. Am I wrong with this line of thinking? Should I just zero at 200 or 300 and go or move the rings to get the scope up? If you think moving the rings is possible, should I spread them out or bring them in? There’s 1.5-2” of space between each ring and the farthest point on the scope. Any tips are appreciated.

Gunsmithing What are these embers?

Hey all! Might be a stupid question but I’d rather ask & be sure. I was letting family shoot my 16” Tikka .308 when I noticed these embers burning in the air around the barrel after the shot I suspect it might be unburnt powder? The rifle was clean having only 11 rounds down the barrel after a clean, Ammo used federal smk 168 gr so clean burning by my experience with it, I’ve never seen this before so any input would be much appreciated thanks!

SOLD WTT/WTS: Barrett MK22

I know this is specific, but figured I’d throw it out there. I have a Barrett MK 22 in 300 Norma mag that I’d like to trade for an mk13 mod 5 (with stiller action) +\- cash, and/or parts for a mod 5. I’m also willing to sell the rifle for $7,500 shipped.

The mk22 has 75 rounds down the barrel. I also have a 308 barrel makers kit that I’d be willing to sell with it. If you’re interested, send a PM / I’ll share pictures. Thanks.

Aero solus- Bergara or........ prs/nrl hunter

I'm looking at doing some local prs and nrl hunter matches. There is a new range with matches going up like 20 min away figured I would try it. I'm looking at a cheaper rifle that will do well for me and hopes of just shooting factory ammo.

Right now I run a arc nucleus gen 2 LA whiskey 3 gen 6 but that rifle is setup for the nightforce and weighs 23 pounds. So looking for something lighter and less recoil I shoot a 30 nosler.

Options- just grab a different barrel for my Arc and run it hard to come by 10 rd mags in the long action.

Get a light short 30 nosler barrel and deal with recoil

Or maybe get a bergara aero solus rifle ect. And shoot factory ammo

Rifle Recommendations

Hey guys, so I’ve read through here quite a bit as well as on YouTube and other sorts and seem to kinda get mixed reviews. So I figured I’d ask for some recommendations. Seems like the guys on here are more knowledgeable. I’m looking to spend somewhere between 2500-3000 on a rifle. Ideally to shoot long range (1000+) for my own enjoyment, as well as maybe some entry level or community level shooting competitions in the future. Again, I’ve read good and bad reviews about some of these and recommendations on others but haven’t really found any solid reviews etc. If you have other suggestions as well throw those in too. So these are currently what I’m looking at as far as options:

MPA BA PMR Pro Rifle II

Christianson Arms MPR

Daniel Defence Delta 5 Pro​

Seekins HAVAK HIT Pro

It seems based off the reviews here the MPA and Seekins are the best bets. I’ve considered going the Curtis custom action route, with an MDT chassis as well. But I feel like I’m going to be off in the woods by the time I’m done as far as price goes.

I appreciate all the help and suggestions.

HVAC tech question

I noticed a small puddle of water this morning underneath my handler on the basement floor and followed it up to a red plug on the side of the unit. I dried up the water and tightened the little plug (it was barely tight at all. Actually kind of loose) don’t worry, I didn’t bare down on it just did finger right and about 2 degrees of a turn with a crescent. Just a tiny bump. However, it’s still leaking very slowly.

What is this plug for? Does it need to be drained? Is this Indicative of a bigger problem?

HVAC is definitely not one of my strong suits! But I am very handy with tools and have enough common sense to figure shit out but I’ve always been intimidated with HVAC stuff. Especially when it’s nearly summer.

Any help would be awesome!

Vortex Glass Quality Comparison?

Hi All , I'm trying to make sense of the Vortex Scope line up. In particular , where the glass quality changes across models. Seems if the info is available, Vortex has done a good job of hiding it from my searches. I'm wondering if there is a chart somewhere that compares model glass ( and or features) . I'd really like to see the deltas in the Diamondback, Venom, Strike Eagle, PST G2, etc.
