    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I have shot my 338 with the ultra without ears a time or two just to see what it’s like. I do have very sensitive ears and it was surprisingly pleasant to shoot once, but I would absolutely not consider it hearing safe (anything above 87 db will permanently damage your hearing contrary to what...

    Previous I had a 338 Ultra on the gun borrowed from my AXMC. It’s definitely louder because of the cane being maybe 2” shorter than the 338 Ultra, but the recoil is less. Especially with more gas going through the brake from the shorter barrel.

    Calypso - Quantum - kestrel - HUD Bluetooth Hokey Pokey

    I agree. While I can understand it’s tons of work to get there, I think it should be the end goal. For casual long range shooting, peeking at your phone seems reasonable, but I think in an ELR / PRS stage situation, having everything update in real time on your gun mounted HUD would be awesome.

    Calypso - Quantum - kestrel - HUD Bluetooth Hokey Pokey

    I have the pro version and do build out sectors. Unfortunately I haven’t found a way to transfer them to the HUD without having to go through the kestrel first.

    Calypso - Quantum - kestrel - HUD Bluetooth Hokey Pokey

    I recently switched to pairing a Calypso Mini AB to Quantum as a means to more accurately predict and manage wind calls for ELR and PRS type matches. It seems like a Bluetooth nightmare to: 1. Pair the calypso to quantum to get your wind and update your range card (sector) 2. Disconnect the...

    Just finished up making an 18” 6.5 creedmoor barrel for my AT-XC. Shoots right around 2600 fps with 140 eldm.

    LMT .308 MWS

    My go to function test is to load a single round in the mag, close the bolt and fire. Doesn’t strip the round, probably a spring or mag issue Doesn’t extract, look at the extractor or chamber Extracts but doesn’t eject, ejector or carrier velocity issue Doesn’t lock back, likely a gassing...

    LMT .308 MWS

    FTE and FTF both sounds like a mag issue. With new mags, sometimes there is too much pressure on the cartridge to the underside of the carrier. This can slow carrier movement in both directions and cause what you’re describing.

    LMT .308 MWS

    These are the barrels listed on our site. We made a trip out to LMT the other week to see them getting finished up in production and test fired prior to shipping to us.

    Can Surefire RC2 suppress 6mm Max?

    I regularly shoot 6mm through my RC3. It will fit the RC3, but the bigger problem is the muzzle device. I had to take a 556 three prong and re-thread it to 5/8-24 for my barrel. Conversely, you could re-thread your barrel 1/2-28 and to it. Either way just be doubly sure to check your alignment...

    Yes. We'll be offering complete guns, then complete uppers, and whatever's left will be sold as barrels.
