Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

1st define what the overall MOA is of the rifle. If the goal is say 1/4, and you have a slop to fix, replace one or both parts so there is little to no slop to start with.

Well, if you replace either or both of the parts, then "the gun" would no longer be "the gun", but now "another gun", wouldn't it.

The only way to be able to know whether "bedding" helps a given barrel / upper, is to shoot the combination in question un-bedded, shoot enough data points to statistically determine the capability of a given set of ammo with the gun, then bed the barrel in the same upper & repeat the shooting exercise.

Other than than, we can only say that in general, it appears that bedding helps some combinations of barrel / upper & that it generally is directionally right.

All else is more or less conjecture unless the combo & been shot before & after bedding.

YMMV

Thunderbeast RR end cap adapter group buy - 338 ultra and magnus

Well, this is an important wrinkle in my situation and maybe I should cancel my Magnus RR and my 338 GEN 2RR

I surely don’t want to be holding a $2000 piece of titanium that is outdated six months after I receive it because the big beautiful bill passed and removed silencers from the purview of NFA and now we can mix and match parts as we please

Prism Scope Field of View

👆 people malign the Specter, but any LPVO I’ve ever used especially say the ATACR is like looking through a goddamn straw in comparison. On 1x I can see the switches on my handguard lol.

I ran an OS4x for quite some time and I'd have to agree, the image/glass/reticle was phenomenal. And to be fair, the NF lpvos (even the ATACR) while quality optics comparatively lack the optical forgiveness of some of their LPVO peers, but the point is still valid.

That said, the issues most have with the Elcans are either with the shitty ARMs clamping hardware and their all too often feeble clamping on rails. Or the distrust of the prisim switching mechanism and potential zero shift.
