In my personal opinion the only extractor worth getting excited about is a TG mechanical; advantage being you can headspace with the bolt installed. Advantage to m-16 or sako 85 style would be consistent throw or more predictable extraction on a ramp feed. If I was running a rem style id only...

Barrels play hard on this here is my comparison and suggestion. Have a howa m1500 with dpms SASS barrel mounted. Cryogenic steel heavy flute have a FNAR heavy. hammer forged chrome linned have a RRA predator hp. cryogenic steel chrome lined Best consistency cold bore on is the...

Agreed with tylerw02 more reminiscent of a tikka action. My last budget build was a Howa 1500 but, I think this RAR will make a better all rounder being a flat sided action and I am a fan of the v bed dual recoil lug concept. Hammer forged barrel like a SPR. Just hoping they make something...

Im assuming less scope Howa m-1500 308 re-action + DPMS cryo heavy flute #2 lapua contour = 650 SAC mark gordon bolt work helical flute and knob = 300 EGW 20 MOA 1 peice = 50 kept the hogue

im a fan, solid, heavy hitter. kinda tac shooter that can be an heirloom. good fit finish and reliability. the detachable 4 round mag has a strange fit up though. almost need to wiggle it forward a bit to click in place or just slam it in. its not necessarily a con but will take you back a...

A1 24"/ with 175 sierra match bt 3/8" at 100, 168 sierra match 7/16" at 100. the 12 twist likes the heavier more for me. Spent just as much on a custom m1500 set up and this outa boxer does better than all my fancy gizmo smithy mods on a custom. Needles to say advertises 1moa shooter but...

A1 : Badger CRES 20MOA Base , Glass bed on recoil lug , Detachable Box , Bull contour target crown A3G: Ops Ti 20MOA Base , full skim glass bed , Internal Box , shallow six flute bull target crown Triggers not a big noticeable difference. Weight difference marginal...

Re: 7mm creedmoor I'm just approaching this but couldn't a 284 win potentially be a better fit for this. less neck down than the 30 tc and a softer neck angle by 10 degrees or so? I mean with hodge 15 or 17 a 7mm 284win though a tight coal would be a screamer around 150 grain. Or would the...

Re: has any one used a otis Deluxe cleaning kit also its easy to use if you follow the directions and fold the patches correctly. if you do not fold patch properly on eyelet guide it will require a rod to remove.

Re: has any one used a otis Deluxe cleaning kit Use it; has features i like mainly convenience. I also use as a chest spacer for standing/or mono bag for prone, attached to the bottom of my eagle industries cheek swell. Use last Velcro strap on eagle swell to hold it on. So kit holder is...

Re: input needed tikka t3 lite or ruger american?? Tika is an excellent platform which has been based on the sako which is replicated by many; including nosler 48, howa m1500, s&w 1500, weatherby vanguard along with several others. I find these actions easily bedded with a simple butt drop...

Re: Teflon-S coating for precision rifle I have the Teflon in dead flat on action. went with sniper grey cerakote on bolt. I can tell you after 900 rounds cerakote shows wear and teflon does not. In the dissimilar coatings battle teflon wins. Which really surprised me I was really hoping...

Re: Anyone with advice on rugers warranty service? I sent a P944 da/sa special edition in because I was not happy with the barrel rest, the slide slack and the internal decocker rattling noise. I paid overnight freight, ups of about 70 bucks. Two months later I received my P-944 back with a...

I have been searching the forum base and coming up short. I am looking to become as informed as possible on the FN SPR A1 308 as possible. I have the opportunity to purchase a well equipped A1. And I want to be sure this is the direction I wish to go before I make the investment. Does any...
