    Ruger Precision Rifle Timney Trigger

    I've been a fan of Timney but I went by their booth at SHOT and tried most of the two-stage triggers they had there. They were all creepy on the second stage. I asked the guy about it and he just kind of shrugged his shoulders. I'm definitely up in the air about them now.

    700 sps tactical 308 1-12 twist.

    1. How does your rifle do with 168 GMM? 2. What powders and bullets do you already own?

    Rifle Scopes Talk me out of a used Nightforce NXS

    Kind of have to agree with this. I've only owned one NF, 8-32 NXS. I like the Nightforce brand and I think they make good scopes. But functionally for dynamic shooting SFP is kind of dumb. Unless you're always at the calibrated power setting, you will chase your tail trying to dial adjustments...

    good load for 16 inch 308

    Thanks Gunfighter14e2 I will check them out. I'm loading for a 16" AR10, I have a TAP155 clone (155 AMAX) but it's not as fast as the M80s so I have to hold high with the 3.5x acog. I'm looking for something light and fast that's a better matchup for the 308 reticle at range, without giving up...

    good load for 16 inch 308

    Do you have a part number on the 130 MK? I'm not seeing them on the Sierra site.

    McRee's Precision Chassis

    Just want to put in a good word for Scott McRee and his company. I ordered a Manners T/A with elite carbon fill last fall for my new build, but after hefting one at SHOT I decided to spend the last day of the show checking out every 700 chassis that ever was. Hit every booth I could find and I...

    Reloder 16 for .260 REMINGTON

    Curious to hear what kind of accuracy you get with RL16. I think VV N550 might also be fast for .260.

    Should I buy Quickload

    This. If you're a tinkerer, it's great to compare powders, seating depths etc to see what changes with regard to velocity and pressure. I will say that the default data can be wrong, so it's always good to measure your bullet length yourself and compare it to the library data. Also, it seems...

    7.62x54R cheap shooter

    I have an old beater mosin, no mods. Shot a few rounds of PPU through it at about 1810 yards with the iron sights on 17, I was very surprised that they were impacting where they should have been. It convinced me that these rifles are a credible threat with minimal investment.

    GAP -10 Failure to Feed/Eject

    Did it come with the prs or did you add it? I created issues with a gap by 'upgrading' to the wrong prs (ar15 will fit but won't work correctly)

    good load for 16 inch 308

    I've played with 178, 190, 175 smk but not with the Ls. You should be able to get 175s to 2600 or so...maybe out to 900 yds depending on altitude?

    Gunsmithing Dont laugh you big cnc guys, but thoughts on a HAAS Mini Mill?

    Seems good with the 4th axis at that price? What's the x/y travel, 16" or are those bigger? Disregard just saw the ad, 16" x. Is that enough for you?

    GAP -10 Failure to Feed/Eject

    I see your point but do you think that different pressure curves affect gas systems differently? My p308 was cycling fine but unbeknownst to me I was, um, tuning up my op rod. I think some folks are just saying the gaps gas system is fine-tuned for a specific pressure curve/level. Using the...
