I know this is "snipers fieldcraft" but I know we all love a good day smakin some dogs. Anyone come up with a chest rig to manage a remote, mouth calls and bonus cookie if you got an ass cushion to keep you're feet from fallin asleep. I use lanyards currently and getting annoyed with them. Just wanna see the ideas with current available products you modified or found thay work for you.

Rifle Scopes EBR-7F Reticle

Hey guys. I've been seeing a version of the Gen II Razor with the EBR-7F reticle in it. Honestly, if this thing was out when I bought my NX8, the Vortex may be what I would have gone with instead.

Anyway, has anyone used this reticle. My intention would be to run it on my 12.5, 5.56 rig shooting 62s and 77s. Does anyone happen to have any experience with a similar setup? Does the BDC come close enough to lining up that I can fudge it with zero distance?

Firearms Mac Mp5 Clone

Mac mp5 clone. Shoots really smooth. Fun carbine, ran maybe 300 rounds though it suppressed. Currently short barreled rifle but will pull off the NFA and will convert back to a pistol upon sale

800 shipped to your ffl

Optic not included.

Best practice for installing a barrel nut pre-fit on a SA Solus?

Hey Everyone. I just ordered a Solus Obsidian action on discount from Midway and Im waiting on an order from NSS for a Criterion small shank Savage 110 barrel nut pre-fit chambered in 308 Win (I also ordered a squared savage barrel nut/wrench from NSS along with headspace gauges).

Note I dont have a barrel vice and criterion doesn’t recommend using one when installing a barrel nut pre-fit. They recommend the NSS action vice. I normally would go that route but when I was ordering the barrel James at NSS had mentioned his standard NSS action wrench won’t fit the solus action due to integrated pic rail so I need to use the internal solace action wrench to secure the action when mounting the barrel/torquing the nut. This makes sense, but the question I’m left with is how do I actually incorporate the internal action wrench into the install process?

I ask b/c according to an Aero rep's post on reddit, if installing a barrel with a barrel nut, simply use the Solus Vice jaws, if installing a shouldered prefit, use the internal action wrench.

AD_4nXd6uxzPn3eq9f4vkUVVWJd7SAhekCzx83ysIOn5ZO0skrLRLGsG6JoLawLIcafJhTD6ge2XLiYrfBQ5cVhJ-xCPDA-oZabvMRR2OpzBsi13-LTniI2l4ujblFX1Cz-rru__XgaVwg



When searching online I found this savage prefit barrel install tutorial video by Criterion which is great but they are able to use the NSS action wrench since their install is for a savage action not a solus action with integrated pic rail. The steps they follow are different compared to a Solus action that can't use the NSS action wrench.

Here are the 2 options I'm considering (macro level steps):
  1. (Aero rep's method) Clamp the action in a vice (using the Solus Vice jaws), set headspace, torque the barrel nut to spec, check headspace again with go/no-go
  2. Or do I incorporate the internal action wrench so that the action doesn’t get deformed when torqueing the barrel nut even though the action is secured in the vice jaw inserts? For example:
    1. Clamp action in vice with Solus Vice jaws
    2. Set headspace, then hand tighten barrel nut, check headspace again with go/no-go
    3. Unclamp action from vice, clamp the squared end of the solace action wrench into vice then slide action onto the other side of wrench fully engaging with the lugs
    4. Torque the barrel nut to spec, check headspace again with go/no-go
Or am I way off and you suggest completely different steps to follow?

This is my first bolt action build so I'm used to following the steps for installing AR-15 barrels (that use M4 barrel extensions, barrel nuts, etc.) that definitely need the upper receiver internally secured (with something like the Midwest Industries Upper Receiver Rod clamped into a vice then slide upper receiver over the rod) before torqueing the barrel nut. In option 2 above I was essentially thinking of using the solace action wrench (after setting the headspace) very similar to how I use the Midwest Industries upper receiver rod when installing AR barrels.

Any help/feedback would be much appreciated, thanks!

Since scout went live, it's time to get this going

Rem. 721 with a #5 contour Rock at 24"

Nosler Brass

Federal LR Match Primer

180gr. Berger Hunting VLD

59.0 Gr. H1000

2.740" OAL (Hornady Gauge) is .002 off the lands

2755 FPS 1/2MOA or better to 880yds 1/8 MOA at 100

Rifle was built by Kevin Cram at Montour County Rifles. It was throated for the Berger 180's to maximize case capacity and be at the lands when loading. The Dummy Round is set so the beginning of the boat tail is right at the neck/shoulder juncture of the case. I'd tell you some of the groups this thing has shot at distance but you wouldn't believe me anyways....lets just say it's a HAMMER! Kevin deserves the crdit for it though..I'm just the driver...
