...my Mossberg MVP LR in 5.56NATO. It has a 20-inch, 1/7 twist. I want to use 68-75gr bullets out to 400+ yards. I would like to use either IMR 3031 or IMR 4895, as they are readily available in my AO. While I have it, I don't think WIN 748 will give me the 2700+ fps velocities I hope for. TIA

Hi guys! One question. I recently bought a custom rifle with a bartlein 5r 1:10 308 barrel.

The gunsmith who put it togheter is a very reputable smith, one of the best in Italy. He also accurized and prepared precision rifles for italian SOF. I trust him quite a bit after having tried a few other smiths with less than ideal results.

I have never been obsessed with cleaning routine and i have never broke a barrel in but he suggested me some very detailed cleaning and breaking in procedures for this cut rifled barrel.

1) The breaking in procedure is maybe too much, involving 8 steps and using copper remover and carbon remover and more than 20 patches for every cycle. He suggests to do that every round for 3 rounds and then 1 time every 5 rounds for 20 rounds. To me it seems too much to do at a public range.
2) he suggested me to fully clean the bore after every hunting, which means every week for me. I have always cleaned my hunting rifles every 20 rounds or so or when i was planning not to shoot it for at least a few weeks. I preferred to avoid possible issues related to clean bore shots, which can obviously affect POI slightly. I said this to him and he told me to just use some carbon remover if I didn't want to fully clean it after each hunt. I have never had a rust or an accuracy problem.

I noticed most hunters and also many members here don't do break in and clean the rifle sporadically or anyway not after every hunting.

What do you think about this suggestions? To me it seems like using this rifle will become a second job ahah!
Do you have some cut rifled custom barrels? if yes, how do you take care of them?

Thanks
Simone

I am working on a subsonic load for a Tikka Super Varmint in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 1:8 twist rate. I was able to work up a subsonic load for it but the rounds don't seem to be stable. The Berger stability calculator shows the round should be stable. At 25 yards, the bullets seemed stable but at 100 yards, it's obvious that they aren't. I'm just wondering if anyone knows why it isn't stable even though the stability calculator says it should be. I realize that the Berger website states that the calculator isn't accurate for flat base bullets. Does anyone know of a similar calculation for flat base bullets? I am just trying to figure out if there might be another reason the bullets aren't stable (e.g. going though the transonic region).

P.S. I realize there isn't any practical reason to develop a subsonic 6.5 Creedmoor load. I am just doing it for fun.

Anyone have a link I’ve seen them before. Pretty much ipsc but with the body armor section removed

I ordered an MDT Field Stock for my son's CZ-455 during the Black Friday sale. I just got around to putting the rifle, originally a 27" Ultra-Luxe, in the new stock Monday. Then I did a quick range session with the rig.

I am quite impressed with the stock - certainly an upgrade from the Tupperware stocks Tikka likes to use (I can't speak to CZ's synthetic stocks beyond saying I handled a 457 in a LGS and it felt like a toy). @Mark_Dorman did a nice review of this stock (for a 10/22) back before Christmas.

Of interest to potential buyers is that my son's 455 shoots significantly better in the Field Stock* than it does in the original stock or the Boyd stock from a long-gone 455 Tacticool. It doesn't shoot quiiiii-te as well as my Bartlein-barreled Vudoo at 50 yards, but I'm impressed. I haven't had time to take it out further yet; the goal for this rig is to use in a little 100-yard-max monthly match.

A few other notes:

• I tightened the stock screws to 40 inch-pounds. None of the squishy feeling I've encountered in other synthetic stocks (urp Tikka).
• The whole rig, with SWFA SS fixed-16x scope (~24 ounces with rings), weighs in at just under 10 pounds. Stock weighs just over three pounds.
• The rifle balances in front of the mag well - not bad for a pencil barrel (albeit a long pencil barrel).
• "Conventional wisdom" is that a thin barrel usually performs better with some support under it. I tried both ways - putting a block of stiff foam between barrel and fore-end at different distances in front on the tenon. For this rifle at least, best performance was with the long, thin barrel free-floating.
• I considered posting this in the Bolt Action Rifles forum because, were I to have any use for a new Tikka - awesome rifles but horrible plastic stock - I'd pretty much jump at one of these. But then I have no experience with the Field Stock's long-standing competition from KRG et. al. or its Oryx brother.

Anyway. I'm an MDT booster; they have gone above & beyond for me more than once since I started precision rifle competition almost eight years ago. I have three rifles in ACC chassis, and two now-gone bolt guns were in LSS-XL chassis. Nice to know there is a solid, inexpensive option in their lineup.
--------
* Late edit: I need to qualify this statement. Last time I shot this rifle, it was in the "Tacticool" Boyd stock - and when I removed it, the screws were not very tight at all. So the improvement may be more minimal than first impression. I never shot the rifle in the original walnut Ultra-Luxe stock. I will say that the long dwell time of standard-velocity ammo in the 27" barrel makes it imperative that a SOLID follow-through is held, otherwise a near-imperceptible movement will cause a significant flyer.

I bought a cheap Redfield 3x9, has a cracked lens. I'm going to experiment with anodizing it after machining some tools to disassemble/reassemble properly.
What would in everyone's opinion be a close/proper color? I notice in many photos the color is different on parts of a same scope. Is this from fade from sun light and oils or on purpose.

Another thought I have is what part inside the scope is the tombstone range finder on?
