    Need accurate, light(er) weight AR .308 barrel for hunting

    My receiver is super tight requiring heat to fit the barrel.

    Need accurate, light(er) weight AR .308 barrel for hunting

    No, I don't reload. The barrel is too heavy to be 2 MOA. Just not worth it when I could get a cheapo pencil barrel for the same accuracy and be much more enjoyable lugging it around.

    Need accurate, light(er) weight AR .308 barrel for hunting

    Had a Faxon Gunner that couldn't do under 3-4 MOA. Current Wilson Combat 20" Super Sniper won't do under 2 MOA with 5 different factory loads and it's heavy 50.7 oz JP Rifles? I heard Wilson Combat makes the blanks? Rainier Ultra Match? Proof Research? Do carbon barrels have erratic accuracy...

    Tikka T3X Hunter--Stock finish is crap

    Not my 1st. --Yeah, I've never taken my guns outside. Only shoot inside. :LOL: Never had one like this with such a terrible finish. Remington and Ruger stocks never did this.

    Tikka T3X Hunter--Stock finish is crap

    Just ordered some tung oil. Ridiculous Tikka makes an outdoor hunting firearm that is not ready to be used outdoors. Warning--Do not get wet. Stain will come off. We suck at wood finishing, but our guns shoot great.

    Tikka T3X Hunter--Stock finish is crap

    Bought this year and it got wet this morning and noticed it smelled of wood stain. In drying it off some wood stain came off onto the paper towels and stained my hands. When sitting out in the snow, I noticed the stock was quickly absorbing the melted snow. The stock now has nasty looking water...

    Need accurate, not too heavy .308 barrel

    I ordered the 20" Wilson Combat Super Sniper. It's heavier, but I'll live.

    Need accurate, not too heavy .308 barrel

    Their fluted 18" offerings are heavier than my current non fluted 20" barrel.

    Need accurate, not too heavy .308 barrel

    I have a 20" Faxon Big Gunner barrel (35.84oz) in .308 that's so far is producing 3"- 4" groups with 3 different factory loads. My previous shorter, but heavier Wilson Combat gave me <1.5" groups with 4 different factory loads. Is there such a thing as an accurate, but not too heavy barrel? How...

    Rifle Scopes March 4.5-28x52 High Master Review and Comparison to Tangent Theta 5-25x56

    From March--"The pupil diameter of the 4.5-28X52 is 3.3mm at 10X and 4.12mm at 4.5X"

    Rifle Scopes March 4.5-28x52 High Master Review and Comparison to Tangent Theta 5-25x56

    Wouldn't the small exit pupil negatively affect eyebox forgiveness on low power as it normally does on high?

    March 4.5 28 and SB 320 owners I need advice

    How does your March perform in low light conditions compared to your other scopes--especially the Polar T96? The designed smaller exit pupil is what's keeping me from pulling the trigger on it.

    Rifle Scopes March 4.5-28x52 High Master Review and Comparison to Tangent Theta 5-25x56

    No. March purposefully gave this model a smaller exit pupil at lower X's than your typical O/X
