Disregard - I found on DMack's site that the newer revisions do, in fact, have a free-floating handguard. Now the long wait for my new Mk118 to arrive!

Apologies in advance for a bit of thread necromancy and incomplete reading. :) I noticed in early parts of the thread that the lack of free-floating on the PWS rail system was called out as a potential issue for long range with a bipod. I know that current versions of the PWS Mk1 are spec'ed...

Bushnell HDMR on top of my LR-308 and the glass is first rate. The only minor criticism I have of the scope is that the locking turrets will not index after a lock/unlock. Based upon a call to Bushnell, when you unlock it you need to know what revolution you're on. It will not automatically...

Muskox - PERSONALLY, I'd go S&B but I've been working with my shooting buddy to help him select a new optic and rapidly came to one conclusion that may make your choice easier (or more difficult depending upon how you look at it): you really cannot go wrong with scopes in this pricerange. If...

Same problem: ordered March 1st, still waiting as of March 28th. No contact to e-mail or phone. Tried contacting thru Facebook or ARFCOM and no responses. A month to go from Washington state to Idaho is a bit much!

Re: Glass: A Tool of Diminishing Returns OFG - you've touched on something that I've been considering lately, especially after selling a rifle and scope...Time has taught me the benefits of a buy once-cry once approach to my shooting hobby. Obviously, one has to be fiscally responsible...

Re: Leupy Mk4 ER/T vs. Bushnell Elite HDMR G2DMR While I haven't gotten hands on with one of the newer Leupolds, I didn't care for the feel of the one Mk4 I did try - the knobs felt a little mushy to me. I did just sell a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24 and I liked the feel of the feedback from the...

Re: Liberty Optics has dropped IOR Scopes I've got an IOR and it's a pretty good scope. Great glass and I love the reticle, but Valdada America's customer service is only so-so, IMO. I bought one of the 2-12x32 35mm scopes awhile ago and didn't get the greatest customer service when I...

Re: JP Enterprises, LWRC, or Armalite SASS? I've been looking at AR-10's steadily for the last few weeks and I have to admit that I'm somewhat torn. It seems like the RRA and DPMS rifles have excellent accuracy out of the box. At the same time, a little browsing here shows that GAP-10's...

Re: AR-10 Options / Opinions I'd be interested in seeing this as well...I'm currently trying to sell/trade my Savage 12LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor for an AR-10

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor - neck sizing die? Thanks guys...I also checked with Hornady and found a Hornady neck die thru Midsouth for ~$25. It's on the way now. I loaded up some rounds for testing that will come out to the range on Saturday: 37 - 41.5 grns of RL17 behind a Barnes Match Burner...

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor - neck sizing die? Thanks for the feedback, Rob01! I'll be picking up dies this afternoon, along with a Hornady LNL headspace kit so I can get a reference point for the shoulder pushback.

Re: 6.5 Creedmoor - neck sizing die? forgive my inexperience, but I understood that neck sizing was a better option for bolt guns. Is that incorrect?

Hi all - got a new rifle on the way as a self-delivered birthday present: a Savage 12LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor. I've been loading for .223 and .308 for awhile and would like to load for the Creedmoor too. The only issue I've seen so far is lack of ready availability of a neck sizing die in 6.5...
