The best rifles should not have a cold bore shift. If there is a repeatable cold bore shift, there is a problem that needs to be addressed. Have you shot the gun without the suppressor to see if the problem persists? That would be about the only thing I would suggest prior to sending it back...

In case it wasn’t made clear enough, the WOA upper comes with BCG and charging handle (the website says so). To the OP, what is your intent of the upper ? If you want consistent precision and accuracy you need to be willing to shell out the $$ for quality match ammo as well. If you don’t have a...

My 3-12x Nitro broke recently. Was atop a 5.56 rifle for its entire life of a few months. The objective lens rubber gasket started separating from the edges and the reticle was shifting in the FOV from recoil. The reticle was still zero’d though. Bummer.

Rudy from Ridgeline gives a good rundown on the SCAR 20S. I enjoy videos that take the time to go over the finer details. I especially appreciated the transparent accuracy review conducted by a capable shooter. I look forward to the future shakedowns put out by Ridgeline.

I apologize. This was sold a while ago and I didn’t update the title.

@Bender What was off about the parallax?

Also wanted to add, the lens coating on the Nitro’s glass handled flaring much better compared to the SWFA 3-15 FFP.

I think these scopes have been around since 2018 based on the YouTube reviews I’ve seen. Also I think the MRAD models are being discontinued based on the fact Bushnell Now only lists the MOA and Plex reticle models on their website. I have a 3-12 I mounted on a 16” barreled AR15. Shot out to...

@natdscott Thank you very much for taking the time to share that knowledge. A couple more questions if you have time: 1. What is causing the rounds to deviate more at 600 compared to short range (is it erratic velocity due to throat erosion) ? We know that a load that doesn’t do well at 100...

@natdscott In your experience how many rounds will the Wilson blank last vs. a cut rifled ? I’ve read conflicting info regarding cut vs. buttoned barrel life.

My reservations on the 168 SMK is not about long range accuracy, rather lack of effective terminal ballistics compared to purpose built duty rounds. SMKs can over penetrate a lot through (Ruby Ridge was a perfect example of that). Over penetration is a bad thing for LE.

I hope the 168 SMK is purely for competition and not the chosen duty round.

Had this barrel on an AT which I sold. Right at 900 rounds on it. Kreiger blank Chambered by Mile High. (Chamber is tighter compared to OEM AT barrel) Heavy contour - 1/10 twist - 5/8x24 threads. Weighs as much as OEM barrel. Asking for $360 shipped. Venmo or Pay Pal. Definitely capable of...
