    Rifle Scopes FFP Hunting scope options..

    Burris 4-20 XTR2 with Horus H591. I've got the 2.5-10 with SCR MOA and love the turrets, glass, and weight, but don't love the eye box on it. More I use it the more I wish I had more magnification on it for my purposes (hunting to 300, steel to 600).

    6.5G vs creed

    Very valid point. My priority in my build was on weight with a goal of 1 MOA accuracy or better out to 600 yds. Not sure what the intended purpose of the OPs rifle was gonna be, but went through same considerations in my build and thought would share. I'm not shooting long strings in a PRS...

    6.5G vs creed

    And carbon fiber wrapped barrel will not save weight compared to the Faxon unless going over 20". Christensen arms the only one that I found that will cut to 16", but still heavier than the current Faxon offering.

    6.5G vs creed

    Just built a rifle using F1 BDR 103G receiver and 16 inch Faxon 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Used MI hand guard. With buffer weights still in it's right under 7lbs. Could get lighter with 2A Xanthos receiver and lighter scope than mine, as well as using light BCG and titanium pins for everything...

    Range Report Short barrel 6.5Creed?

    I'm running a 16" Faxon barrel on an AR10 build. My old school Chrony is saying 2650 with Factory 143 ELDX and then ran it over a Gen 1 magnetto speed which said 2450fps. 2450 does not jive with my confirmed dope out to 600 on steel (based on published BC from Hornady). I'm dialing 15 MOA to...

    Water Proof Gear - Clothes & Pack

    Another big fan of Kuiu. My Chugach rain gear saved my ass on a ten day trip in NM that absolutely poured the first 6 days. I was the only dry one in the group. Have spent way too much money on their website over the past couple of years, but have been completely satisfied with their...

    Rifle Scopes Lightweight hunting scope

    Folks, Looking for some input to help out a hunting buddy purchase a HUNTING scope. He's doing a similar lightweight 6.5 Creedmoor AR10 build to my own. I chose the Burris XTR2 2-10 SCR MOA and have been happy with it so far. He prefers a horus style reticle. Looking for input to make sure...

    Dumping .308 for 6.5 Grendel?

    Went through same considerations. Have excellent but very heavy 308 precision rig (18lbs) that have used for many years, but got tired of humping weight around. 300BLK AR Pistol was getting heavy for night ops at 11lbs with accessories. Wanted to try and bridge the gap between the two...

    Night Vision PVS-14 Recommendation

    Another +1 for TNVC. The warranty is what absolutely sold me, luckily haven't had to use it in over 4 years of hard use on my TNV 14.

    Drop in triggers

    Another +1 on the Calvin Elite. Absolutely love it.

    Night Vision Another F.N.G. polling the professionals

    Agree wholeheartedly with Wigwamitus. I've run a DBAL I2 with a torch pro for over three years killing hundreds of hogs at night. Have also used PEQ 15s and other military grade stuff. The problem I have with the more expensive lasers is the bloom effect you get on close targets. I typically...

    Rifle Scopes SPR Scope NOW PLEASE!!!

    I had similar considerations when recently added glass to my 6.5 Creedmoor lightweight AR10. Went with the Burris XTR2 2-10 and have been very happy with it so far. Blows away my old Mark 4 3.5-10 with M3 turrets in every category except weight. Eyebox is a little tight and getting used to...
