I have the Crusader and I think it is awesome. The glass on it is as good as my Minox ZP5. You are not likely to get any sort of valid information on this site about IOR. Everybody "knows" someone who "knows" someone who had a problem with IOR 15 years ago. It's like back in High School were...

don't forget their new military discount. 10% this week.

All you need to pay is shipping. Here's the catch - the barrel has been installed on 2 actions, a Lone Peak Razor and a Rem700. Both times, the barrel has shot loose after 8 (Razor) and 44(700) shots. I believe the threads are cut too loose, but the uncaring fellas at McGowan Precision Barrels...

I recently did some testing at different seating depths. My overall conclusion was that the load shot best at 2.80", mag length. FYI, the load was 41.4g Reloader 17, federal nickel primed brass, from a 26"BHW barrel. Velocity was 2825 FPS, group at 2.8" was 1/2MOA, with 0.157" height...

I have 8 pounders of each. Originally, I was told that I could use H870 data as WC870 data. I loaded some rounds, and chronoed them. They fell WAY short. So I planned a test. The test- I loaded 5 rounds of 7mm REM MAG with 79.0g of each powder, a 168g Nosler CC, Tula LRM primer, all in once...

Johnson- I am in the same boat as you. I have jugs of 860, 870, and 872. I also just scored some Lake City Primed unfired 50bmg brass. My first goal is to figure out what each surplus powder is equivalent to on quickload. I am loading up some 7mm Rem mag with equal amounts of each and doing...

DPMS Mini- SASS Mine was the first AR I ever built, and it is stupid accurate. If I gave you specifics, half the forum would jump down my throat demanding proof, but this past week I shot 200 yard groups, and with the 80 grain Nosler Custom Comp, 24.7g of 2000MR, I can shoot less than 1/4 MOA.

Chase, the overall tone of your first post is making me a little bit nervous. I purchased one of the first Axiom actions. As I have had several other things come up, I have yet had the chance to Barrel the action and place it in a chassis. What I want to know is are there going to be any...

Doing some HVAC work, I picked up both an Infrared thermometer and a Multi-Meter thermocouple. I can use either to get an exact temperature reading on my barrel instantly. So, here's the question- How hot should I shoot my barrels? I would take readings at the throat area, where Temp should be...

I use 48.5g of Alliant 2000-MR and get phenominal accuracy out of my AR10. With 168's

I would just go for the Burris XTR SIgnature Adjustable rings. 2piece, but no ring marks. Ever.

I have one. It sits in the same safe as an S&B 12-50, S&B US 3-20, a Minox ZP5 5-25, and a Vortex RZ2 and several Beta tier scopes. Lets put all the BS aside, such as corporate issues and past model issues. I rank it as, at the minimum, the equal to the S&B and Minox in terms of glass...

Frank, Don't know if it was mentioned, but the Pinnacle comes with precision fit thread covers for the turrets. Once you put them on, the turrets appear to have no cap threads.

Where is your elevation? I had this problem when I attempted to get max travel and bottomed out the elevator. Make sure you are at least 7-10 mils from bottom of range. Dead center would be better.

Experticity has a mind blowing price. An extra 10% off today. What they don't have is any in stock.
