hey everyone, this is my first post on the forum and I hope some of these questions aren't too basic. I just ordered a HOWA APC M1500 and I'm clear to pick it up on Thursday. The rifle comes with no scope or mount. I haven't had the gun in my hand but it appears to me ill need a picatinny rail, scope mounts, a scope and a bi-pod to get started. as far as the picatinny rail goes...is a Outerimpact 20 MOA rail any good? after that im looking at Nikon glass. if anyone has some good ideas I'm all ears. what's the general consensus on Caldwell bi pods? if they're no good can anyone point me in the way of something introductory? thanks in advance for your time. JC

29” blank .243/.237 7.5 twist blank from Geissele. Doesn’t say the exact contour but I measured it at 1.26” for the first 5” then tapering down to 0.900” at 29”, weighs 7# 7.5 oz which matches up with what a HV is (see below).

Is there any difference between the badger and dd Ross rail for clip slotted rifles? I have the badger, but wondering if I need the Ross for my m40a3 with the Ross bottom metal

Keeping it

I wound up with an extra McMillan stock that’s inlet for a 700 short action, sendero barrel and M5 bottom metal. So I started to think that since I live in a straight wall cartridge area I could use it for a 350 legend build using a Terminus Zeus QC action. I thought I could get a pre fit 350 barrel and a 223 barrel to do some cheap plinking. I can’t find a lot of info on a set up like this so does anyone see a problem with this combo? Will a 350 feed from AICS mags for 223 or would it need different followers?

What a coinicidence that on the eve of the Canadian election, someone drives into a crowd of dancing LBP's so the liberals can blame it on evil pasty conservatives?

They can't have mass shootings any more, so they have to have those mass-stabbings, mass-SUVing's, Mass Whapping-with-Canoe-Paddles...

I’m hoping to attend my first DMR class in the coming months. I’ve had training in my prior LE career, but there was a hard line… no engagement outside of 100 yards.. so basically useless. I have several nice systems, but it appears than DMR = semi auto. Looks like most classes top out at 600-700 yards.
The first two that came to mind are my recently built 6.5 Grendel’s.
18” with NightForce NX8 2.5-20x with Geissele SDE
13.9” with Steiner T6XI 2.5-15x with Geissele SDE
Both are using Craddock RTR barrels. The 18” was sub MOA with Precision Firearms 120 Scenar L right from the start. Havent shot the 13.9” yet but will be starting load development for both shortly.
I then forgot that I also have a 16” SCAR barrel with KNS DiSCARder and KDG rail in addition to the 13” that’s stays on it. The 13” has a Trijicon Credo 1-8. I have no optic for the 16” barrel. All load development has been for 125 Controlled Chaos from the 13” barrel so I’d need to load some 169SMKs and see how they do. The SCAR has a Geissele Super Scar trigger.
Which system would you go with? If the 16” SCAR, what optic? I prefer NightForce, Steiner, and Trijicon.
I’ll pick up a Kestrel and probably the Leica laser rangefinder.

Thoughts from those with experience is greatly appreciated.

Just got the send it level. I have run it twice with no issues. Today, it started freezing up after 2 shots. The outer dots, either right or left would be lit and was frozen. Most of the time I could turn it off, then back on and it would work for another 2 shots and then freeze. I am obviously going to call MDT but wanted to make sure there wasn't something simple I am missing. The sensitivity is from the factory settings and the battery shows full power. I did reverse it as I am lefty, not that that should matter. This is on a braked 6.5 Creed so recoil shouldn't be an issue. Any ideas?

I recent did a build with a criterion pencil 16" mid gas 223w chrome lined. Initial impressions were good, a quick borescope through the bore reviled no obvious defects. It has been shooting factory ammo noticeably better than some of my BA barrels.

The second range day out, I ended up popping several primers causing the FCG to get jammed up. Upon recovering the brass, I found 5 pieces without the primer (out of ~200 rounds), and almost all had ejector swipes. This was winchester/lake city m193. I also tried some pmc x-tac m193 and still got aggressive ejector swipes, but no popped primers (out of 50 rounds). Historically I have found the pmc x-tac to be on the lighter side (chrono 2950 out of a 16", 3120 out of a 20"). I tried this factory ammo in several other know good guns and zero issues with ejector swipes or pressure signs.

I had some really light reloads with virgin starline 556 brass that I used for the first shots in order to start burnishing out the reamer marks in the throat/lands area before making any accuracy assessments. No pressure signs using that ammo. "break in" process and zero pressure signs with that stuff. By "break in" I just mean getting a few hundred round down the barrel before making any accuracy assessments or starting load development.

other info about the new criterion build:
SOLGW BCG
adjustable gas
a5 buffer system w/A5H2, new sprinco green buffer spring

I'm wondering what to do at this point... The only obvious things I can think of is contact criterion or try a larger variety of factory ammo.

Can anyone with experience on both weigh in?

Whatever i end up going with will be installed in a seekins sp10 .308.

Gun shoots great, and i couldnt be happier. It currently has the TT single stage and its right under 4lbs. Not a bad trigger, but id like something a lot better and i prefer the two stage.

I like the idea of the .75lb first stage on the adaptive, but i like the overtravel and reset (listed values) of the diamond.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Stalked the forums off and on for probably several years. Finally joined, and my first question is likely rather stupid.

Running a Bergara .308. Got an Omega 300 for it a month ago, and I’m doing some handload work ups for it. Decided to try a suppressor cover, too, and after install, it makes me ask the question if it will potentially affect rifle harmonics?

I'm looking for a light weight optic for my new hunting rifle in 7mm mag, shots will be under 600 yards.

I'm looking at leupold vx3hd, but would like a reticle that is can use for hold over.

Other one I'm looking at is a trijicon accupoint 3-9x40 with mil dot reticle. that's 13.4 oz

Any other scopes that are comparable that I'm missing?
Thanks

With all the vastly varying anecdotal reports of IQ between scopes, I think a blinded, randomized controlled trial of scopes would be very interesting. Because there’s some degree of objectivity and methodology in evaluating IQ, I think this could be very revealing.
Bias seems to be one of the greatest influences on individuals as far as I can tell. Whether conscious or subconscious, it can be hard to admit a $600 scope is optically close to a $4k scope.
Just like some people taste soap with cilantro or prefer different flavors than others, I believe vision is the same way. This may be obvious to some folks but it’s definitely not accepted main stream because people continue to argue to the point of insults (myself included ) over IQ of scopes. In contrast, most everyone is in agreement that scope features are subjective, so no need to try and examine that. The test could be standardized to be blinded. It would take some effort but certainly doable. A way to make diopter, magnification and parallax adjustments without fingering the scope. The trial would need to include a professional eye examination and history as well obviously.
