    Which 2-10

    jbuck88, how is the comparison between the ATACR 4-16 (is it F1?) and the NXS 2.5-10x42? Both are scopes I am highly interested in. Or I guess the better question is why did the the ATACR over the NXS?

    Top 14.5” 223 Wylde/5.56 Barrels

    Right on. Thank you both for the replies. I have never heard of Craddock Precision, but will definitely give them a look. Noveske is one I have looked into, as I have heard their stainless barrels are top notch. White Oak is great and I will have to check if they do a 14.5. Will check out green...

    Top 14.5” 223 Wylde/5.56 Barrels

    Looking at Criterion 14.5 Hybrid or Core Series barrels. If I wasn’t going with Criterion, I would prefer to go stainless. Proof is intriguing, but seems overhyped and overpriced. That being said, price isn’t necessarily an issue. Any suggestions from personal experience? Thanks, Charles

    6.5x47 lapua out of a 20" barrel

    Re: 6.5x47 lapua out of a 20" barrel How do you like your krieger barrel? Krieger is probably who I will go with for a barrel, was thinking 20" medium palma with a 1:8 twist.

    6.5x47 lapua out of a 20" barrel

    Re: 6.5x47 lapua out of a 20" barrel Thanks for the reply! 15-20 fps doesn't sound to bad, but then again you never know when you might need the extra fps.

    6.5x47 lapua out of a 20" barrel

    Am going to hopefully start another project soon and wanted to know if a 20" barrel would provide good enough accuracy with the 6.5x47 lapua? I read a thread on here recently about using 6.5 lapua with shorter barrels and one guy said he had a 20" 6.5 lapua barrel coming in, but I don't believe...
