    6.5 PRC Factory Ammo

    Berger, for the brass and the 156 EOL shoots best in my GAP.

    General Purpose Rifle inspired by Jeff Cooper

    I have explored this area quite a bit. I think there’s a lot of merit in the kind of rifle you are trying to build. My GP rifle progression went from T3 compact to Steyr and Ruger Scouts, to 16 in large frame AR’s then to Sig Cross 16 inch guns, and back again. There is no perfect answer. I...

    Howa 1500 copy

    Nosler M 48 is pretty similar.

    Steyr Scout 223

    There are some guys on the Jeff Cooper scout rifle Facebook page that want to hear about the rifle. A lot of people are running LPVOs on them these days.

    anyone tried Ammo Inc .308 yet?

    I bought quite a bit locally on sale. It is decent for training. I’m getting about .75-1 MOA out of 2 scout rifles and a Sig Cross.

    Emergeny fund or SHTF bag

    I figure enough to get your family out of the US, double it, and not all in US cash, provided needs are covered otherwise.

    Real Avid Scope Leveling Kit

    I use a construction laser level to true the rifle vertically through action and stock in sandbags. Then, I project a vertical across the neighborhood onto an unoccupied structure. Align verticals and tighten carefully to avoid torquing scope out of true. It works pretty well. I used to use...

    The SIG 716I TREAD .308 may be the best AR-308 / AR-10 type battle rifle for the money.

    Mine has been disappointing. Maybe I have a lemon. About 2-3 Moa with most match ammo. 6 MOA with ball. Lapua, BH, Fed GMM, Hornady, Nosler. I tried a bunch of ammo in it. Coming soon to a used gun rack in Texas. I can get a MOA or better out of a decent gas gun, if I try off a bench and have...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 20 Holster Comfortable w/ Backpack

    It’s a little old school, but I really like the tanker style holsters from ElPaso Saddelry for big guns, in addition to the Safariland previously mentioned. It is easily worn with a pack. I have one coming right now for a 20/21.

    22LR AR Semi Auto

    Nordic components made some for DPMS in the past that got great reviews. I have one and it runs very well suppressed. It looks like they still make a dedicated upper. I bought it over others for proper manual of arms, as a trainer for kids.

    Carbine Rifle - not AR platform

    I’ve got several of the above, but I keep going back to a 6.5 Grendel folder pistol. I know, no ARs , but it wins the most capable for the least form factor contest. I like scorpions and tavors and lever guns too.

    Steyr Scout in 6.5 Creedmoor - Any Reviews?

    Necro post, but I’m trying one out if you are still curious. Ammo availability has been a bit limiting. I’m noticing it will often stack 2 rounds then open up to somewhere between 1 and 1.5 MOA. I’m getting lower velocity than I would like, and as expected, .308 has an advantage in shorter...

    High end truck gun

    JP makes a 10.5. I’ll bet it shoots. My personal choice would be for a 12.5 inch Lilja barreled 6.5 Grendel with Law folder...
