Geissele Mk1 MRGG 6.5 Creedmoor initial impressions

My initial impressions with the Geissele Mk1 MRGG 6.5 Creedmoor are all positive except for the cost. Geissele really stepped up their game with this rifle. The machining and tolerances are awesome. There is absolutely no play between the upper and lower.

The fit and finish are second to none and the recoil is noticeably lighter than my KAC 6.5 22". I believe Geissele mitigated recoil with the phased array gas block and possibley the brass weight in the BCG...not sure.

I shot both Black Hills M1200(rifle designed for this ammo or the story goes) and Berger 140 Hybrid factory loaded. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was on the brass. My KAC gun shreds brass ~3max firings.
M1200 - 2610 ave ~ this equates to 41.2ish of H4350. On the light side
Berger 140 - 2685 ave - this same ammo does 2750 out of the KAC 22"

Groups were ok for the first outing(see pic). I estimate this gun to shoot .75" or less with hand loads(will post new groups soon). AR10 gas guns are the most challenging rifles to shoot well(I bet someone on here will disagree). I have a 6GT blot gun that I reliably shoot .250" groups consistently...It pains me to see a 1" group.

AR15 magazine recommendations

I am interested in trying some 10 round magazines from manufacturers other than Magpul. They'll be running in Compass Lake lowers, if that makes any difference. Have had some trouble with Pmags recently (irregular feed lips) and would like to see what other options experienced shooters consider reliable. Metal, polymer, or mix, I have no biases about who makes them or how.

Appreciate any suggestions.

If no intention of swapping scopes, any downside to an action that's tapped for direct scope rings?

I know most people here generally tend toward actions with integrated picatinny rails because they either intend or can envision likely scenarios where they want to move scopes around to different rifles or try different scopes while maintaining a rough return to zero... but... is there any downside to an action that is only tapped for rings vs action with integral rail, all else being equal, if one fully intends to mount one particular scope to it and not move it around? I have to imagine there's some, maybe small, level of weight savings and compactness advantage to simply having rings directly attached through the tapped holes of an action without integral rails, and probably a fair bit of cost advantage too (yes, I violated my own "all else being equal" rule there), but I admit I am not confident enough to say that I have considered every little aspect of this choice.

Is there something I am overlooking beyond the idea that this prospective rifle will not have the scope moved around? Maybe something to do with eye box/eye relief adjustment range? Anything?

To be clear, I am unconcerned both with what the cool guys at the range might think about such a choice or with some mythical ideas regarding resale value at some indeterminate time point in some indeterminate future might be, I'm wondering if there's something mechanical/tangible/meaningful to the function of such an action choice given the premise that there's no intention of moving/swapping the scope (unless I have to because it broke or something, but that can happen regardless of rail vs direct threaded rings). Through much error/experience I have learned that sharing things like optics/suppressors/other parts among different guns is both annoying and suboptimal, it's worth the price to just keep each gun a complete system, well that's my opinion on it anyway, and like I said, it was formed through a few decades of trying the opposite.

Advice needed for 2017 Buick Enclave repairs

Noticed a significant shake in the steering wheel at speeds 60 mph and above. I am going to replace the brakes and rotros but wanted to take it to the dealer to check everything out since I plan on driving this for at least another 2-4 years. Here's their diagnosis and quote:
1. Steering gear w/ alignment - $3,253.27
2. Both rear lower control arm bushings - $967.43
3. Front & rear brake + rotors - $1,331.63 (I'm gonna do this so maybe $500)
4. Front flex pipe (starting to crack) - $1,400.30

I think this estimate is ridiculous. How complicated would it be to DIY the steering gear (not the alignment), bushings, and flex pipe?

Cheap coyote gun help

Good evening everyone!

I’m looking to pick up a cheap (relatively) coyote rifle.

Want a bolt action, threaded, reasonably lightweight, I’m leaning towards 22 arc but I’m open to other options (22-250, 6 arc, or 243) this will be a daytime hunting rifle since I’m happy with how my thermal gun is for night shooting.

It will ride in my truck 99% of the time for the occasional coyote, groundhog, skunk, or any other varmint I might encounter while out checking my hunting properties during the day.

I have been leaning towards a gen 2 Ruger American, but I have also been eyeing the 110 predator gun from savage.

I’d love to piece together a custom rifle but that doesn’t fall in to my budget at this time…..getting married, starting a new job, moving, and paying for a honeymoon has really cut in to my play around money hahaha

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Semi custom or full custom bolt gun?

I’m debating with myself whether or not there are good enough factory barreled actions out there or if I should just wait longer to save up for a full custom. For context I’m still building a 6mm arc bolt gun that’s mainly just for long range target shooting but I’ll use it to hunt as well. I want a longer barrel to take full advantage of the velocity I can get out of the pretty moderate cartridge. I plan on shooting the projectiles in the 105-110 range. I have a lot of cfe 223 that isn’t being used. Since it is a pretty light recoiling cartridge I can get a pretty light system I plan on using a brake simply because I just can’t afford a suppressor yet. I really like the idea of the Christensen mpr but I know christensen has had a lot of issues recently and I don’t like the 16 inch barrel, maybe just buy the bare chassis? I had a Howa mini action in 6 arc I was in love with but unfortunately had to part ways with because of financial issues. On a somewhat related note does anyone know of any other mini length custom actions out there I can’t find diddly on if another than Howa currently makes one.
