Took an intermediate distance course this summer (400-600 yards) and loved trying out the various 16" and 18" semi-auto .308s others brought to class. Given where I live, 600-800 is the limit I will be shooting at for the foreseeable future. So I went ahead and recently bought an AR10 lower and...

Any updates/forecast on these? Thanks!

Re: Note regarding Noveske Rifleworks Thanks for the news Frank. Had heard a few "rumors" and this helps clear things up, for the better!

Re: Any daylight-visible variable scopes with red dot? Thanks rrflyer -- I should have mentioned I'm looking for a true 1x on the low end. Apologies.

Have been looking for quite some time for my AR, and have seen all kinds of reticles (donuts, donuts with dots (like the FC-2), crosshairs, mildots with various part lit up, the Trijicon triangle, the SWFA three-bar, etc)... Anything out there currently or close to release that equates to an...

Re: New Swag - details..... 5.9oz?

Re: First custom .308, three+ yrs after starting! Thanks guys. Eclipse - the camo is called NaturalGear, and was a pattern offered directly from B&C several years ago. They apparently discontinued it. And Surgeon doesn't even sell the RSR anymore. This rifle was "obsolete" before I ever shot it!

I believe the first post I had on here asking about how to go about doing a custom build was 3-4 years ago. Then after making up my mind on what I wanted, started the process off by waiting five months on a group buy (Surgeon RSR action). This was followed by a 22 month stretch where I was...

Re: Custom rifle: must reload for max precision? Thanks for the replies, guys. I'd multi-quote your answers, but I don't know if this board allows that; or at least I haven't figured out how to do it. Knowing that the right factory loaded ammo will not hold me back is exactly what I wanted...

For those of you who have had a custom rig built, do all of you shoot reloads, or do you use match factory ammo? I have reloaded for 3 years on a progressive (RCBS 2000) for my .223 ARs, but to do .308s right will take a lot of new equipment: single-stage press, ball-mic, hand primer, match...

Re: Rings that don't chew up your scope Magnum and dbsinh20 -- appreciate the answer; never thought about torque/stress. I learn something new every day, especially on this board!

Re: Rings that don't chew up your scope Can I ask what the issue is with ring marks? I see people posting on here all the time asking about durability issues -- this scope can't take being dropped, or that one will not break even if thrown out the window, etc. But then I see issues about...

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy Curious -- when it gets to 5k, and I order, and then a week from now it gets to 10k, did I miss out on the free rings? Or does it apply retro? Basically what I'm asking is whether I sit here another 7-10 days waiting for (potentially) 10k, or can I...
