Re: Creedmoor Short Barrel Opinions Thanks for the help fellas. BTW... I would love to be able to reach far past 1000yrds but I'm lacking a place to give it a shot. Also, the gun would be set up tac style but used for hunting game as big as elk. The tac options (night vision & suppressor)...

Anybody had experience with short barrel (less than 24") Creedmoor rifles. Most custom shops seem to use 24" but a few builders like McMillan give the option of 20". Looking for stats, experience and/or opinions. (Creedmoor only pls... I think your .260s, Sweeds, .308s and God know what are...

Re: .308 Hop = Muzzle Brake Link was broken... Can you explain "Nope"?

I've shot about 250 rounds thru my Rem. 700 .308 ACC and although the recoil in a non-issue, the muzzle hop is really irritating. It's a consistent jump up and to the right. Not only is there no way to follow the bullet to impact, getting back on target takes alot of effort. Obviously a muzzle...

Re: Multicam Dipping - N. Florida/S. Georgia? Thanks for the leads!

Re: "Quieter" Muzzle Brakes Thanks for the link... The search never gets me where i need to be.

I have a Rem. 700 AAC .308 with a 20" threaded barrel. Was a the range last week and had the opportunity to fire the same gun with a Surefire muzzle brake. Although it barely jumped, it was loud... very loud. I'm looking for a brake that won't make shot louder. I know it won't make it quiet...

Going to replace my Rem.700's Hogue junk stock with either a Bell and Carlson: Light Tactical (w/j-loop) or Medalist Tactical Style. Who's got one or the other? Pros/Cons? Overlooked details? Thanks!

Anybody know a good hydrographics/dipping service in N. Florida or S. Georgia? I want to switch out my Rem.700's Hogue junk stock with a B&C or HS Precision but want to have it dipped in Multicam first. Also, any places out of my area that you would recommend or avoid would be great. If this...

Re: Bowhunting Forums? Thx Jack!

I know this is a gunpowder forum but I also know there's plenty of memebers who love their bows too. Anybody know of some great bowhunting forums? Preferably, a site note based within any particular company's own site. Also, can September get here any slower?

Re: Milspec camo for hunting... The patterns are good for deer hunting (multicam is particularly well suited). However, although I'm not a huge believer in the scent control carbon/silver obsession... it does matter. Especially if you want to tag a trophy buck. Big, older bucks didn't get...

Re: ACR 6.5 My typo, you're right... 6.8. But I've heard a rumor that a 6.5 will also be available... One day. I shot a hog 2 months ago with a 6.8 and a buck last season with a .270. I love my .308 bolt gun but the 6.8 is a perfect round at 250yrds. Placement is more forgiving.

Can't seem to find anything in the search so... Anybody know when the ACR 6.5 spc rifle or the conversion kit will be available?
