Re: Going from bolt guns to my first semi auto rig If you get to shopping around for an AR platform .308, an Armalite AR-10(t) w swfa SS glass + rings + bipod would come in under $3K (especially if you find a lightly used rifle) & will perform out of the box.

Re: What am I doing to cause this? "S" pattern target Supposing that one to the far left was a flier or a flinch or your cold bore, that isn't so much an s as it is a circle around the bullseye. If those shots are in order (first shot at one end, last shot at the other) I might speculate that...

Re: why would you NOT want a muzzle brake As per the harmonics issue. The only way a brake would affect accuracy is if it's loose & rattling around. Then you would get inconsistent harmonics & unpredictably. Outside of that, the brake will only change the harmonics, so the rifle may shoot...

Re: Is this a good grouping for a gas gun? Well it looks like you answered your own question, and if I had seen this post before you did I would have told you that yes your rig with that ammo is fully capable of ringing 500yd steel all day long. What I'll tell you now is that your rig is...

Re: Introduction and questions from a beginner We're going to need a bit more info to help you. When you went to 200yds did you dial any elevation onto your scope? Was your point of aim at the center of the bulls eye? What size were your targets (ie how far from the center of your target is...

Lets hear it folks, what was your first gun? I just gave my 10 year old half son (my daughter's half brother) his first gun for Christmas. I got him a Marlin XT-22RZ bolt action .22 and he was (still is) thrilled, as was I thrilled to give it to him. It got me reminiscing about my first gun, a...

Re: Due any of you use KRG bolt knob on your rifle? Something else I liked is that the bolt lift comes in a nice little package with everything you could possibly need for the installation. In my opinion it speaks to the attentiveness of the company and their understanding of the end user...

Re: Due any of you use KRG bolt knob on your rifle? I originally got one for my 700 as an interim solution to suit my budget, with the intention of saving a bit and having a knob installed at a later date. I did have to relieve the bottom inside edge w a dremmel bc there was just a tiny bit...
