koshkin can you explain you affiliation to athlon? How did you come by that scope? I can get the Athlon ares 3-15 for 720. I am just waiting on vortex to see their military discount. The burris 2-10 is 600. I see the 34mm tube as a downside on weight. I am looking at another 5 OZ in a mount.

ZeroMOA that is a pretty nice setup. I will put that one on the list. It is a bit heavy, but I am sure she is nice and clear. deersniper there is a snowball's chance in hell that I will put a more expensive optic on an already confused rifle. If the veracity would have some ranging...

I am trying to make the FNAR into something useful. Goals for this scope: 1) shooting for groups at 100 - 300 yards on paper 2) ringing steel to 1000 yards (308 win) 3) rapid deployability to other rifles. 4) moderate weight (under 2 lbs with mount). FNAR is very front heavy and I would like to...

Thanks blackops! I don't think I would have found short actions custom's alpha 11 action on google alone. It seems to meet all my needs and more: 1) Double pinned .312 recoil lug 2) 20 MOA base that is pinned and screwed 3) Threaded bolt handle 4) Fluted one piece bolt 5) Cerakote and other gun...

I know how to use the internet... I am not an idiot. Heck, Al Gore is my uncle. He taught me everything I know ;) Seriously though... I already did the google thing for about two hours. I just hit a little analysis paralysis and couldn't move on. There really isn't a great place to see...

I love the articles on 6mmbr.com. It is a great source of information, but they don't seem to publish new things anymore. This is one of my favorite articles: Custom Actions The article is great, but lawton is out of business??? and I wonder if there are other good names on the market to...

At a certain price, I'd rather have two guns I wouldn't rule out a Remington 700 build. You open yourself up to great custom aftermarket actions at a really good price. A lot of auxiliaries are made for the 700. The trick with getting around the gunsmith is to put a Savage barrel on the rifle...

Crap... I did the math wrong. 50 moa would be +/- 25. A 20 moa base would be +45/-5 which seems pretty ideal. That should be 45 ft of bullet drop at 1200 yards.

I have a 300 Winchester magnum that I am building to be a long range rifle. The purpose of this rifle is to validate a ballistic calculator on which I am working and perform long range load development. More importantly, it is NOT intended as a hunting rifle nor as a tacticool rifle. With that...

Re: Shopping for a supressor To trust or not to trust? That is the question.

Re: Shopping for a supressor I am definitely am not a big fan of full auto dumps. I have a hard time throwing a quarter downrange... let alone a whole roll. If I were to get into a 3 gun type of shooting, bunch of targets in quick succession, would the suppressor hold up to say 3 magazines...

Re: Shopping for a supressor 1) From the little research I have done over the past couple days I guess you can go down in caliber. I have a 308, building 300WM now, purchasing a 223 AR15 and possibly a 300 blackout upper (which is obviously 308 cal). I would love for one to work for all my...

Hi everybody, I am looking for a nice suppressor for a 300 win mag. I know next to nothing about suppressors, but that they make things quieter. I want to be nice and polite at the range. I figure it would be a great thing to do for my ears and everybody around. So was wondering what the prices...

Re: Books on Ballistics I would recommend the following: 1) McCoy is the master of all books. There is a reason why all other books that were written after that cite his book. The book was written after he passed and compiled by his peers which speak to his life as a person and ballistician...

Re: Is LawtonMachine out of Business? So one of my old email stuck, and got a response. Mr. Carr, Thank you for your inquiry to Lawton Machine LLC. Please be advised that Lawton Machine LLC is no longer in business. A new company has acquired the rights to manufacture Lawton actions. We...
