    Best 5.56 grain for 1:7 SPR

    Defender Ammunition makes some really accurate factory ammo. 69 gr SMK and 77gr HPBT shoot great out of my 20" JP.

    Leveling a scope

    Arisaka Leveling tool or Feeler Gagues. The plumb line method is maddening. Think those 2 lines drawn on the tube, somewhere in China, by the lowest bidder are precise? Guarantee a deck of cards is more accurate than lining up multiple bubble levels against a string.

    Front support: sand bags vs. rifle rests

    Off of a bench, I prefer a rest. Bags settle...and keep settling. Always changing my rear bag height. I feel like bipods "hop" off the hard table. This is a Caldwell Rock BR with upgraded pads.

    Talk me out of an Athlon Cronus 4.5-29

    Rings on a bolt gun. Cantilever mount on an AR. That's what I like anyways.

    Talk me out of an Athlon Cronus 4.5-29

    I have 3 total. 2 Cronus BTR's and 1 BTR Gen2. I have not compared side by side with any high end glass lately, but I thought it was just as good, if not better than a Vortex AMG. Sold the AMG and bought another Cronus plus about $1k leftover. Best value, high performance scope in my opinion...

    Leveling scopes…tools?

    Arisaka Tool....if that doesn't work, Feeler Gauges. Even a deck of cards works if Feeler Gauges not handy. The hanging plumb line with multiple bubble levels will drive anyone insane and leave you questioning if you have it right!

    Good Cheap Front Rest Taller than Caldwell Rock Jr.?

    Buddy has this one....it's nice and definitely higher than my Rock.

    AR-15 Ranking

    I have a JP Precision Upper, 20" barrel, that regularly does this. Ridiculously accurate!

    Rifle Scopes Arken ep5 vs Athlon chronus

    The Cronus BTR Gen2 was on sale on Expert Voice for $999 last month....which is why I bought my 3rd one.

    Riflescope help for my JP-15

    My 20" JP is very accurate, but only with certain ammo. Hornady Black 75gr, Defender 69gr SMK, and a custom load from Copper Creek using 77gr Berger's.

    Rifle Scopes Cronus BTR GEN2 4.5-29×56 or Tract Toric 4.5-30x56 ?

    I have 2 Cronus BTR's.....and 1 BTR Gen2 = 3 total. The Gen 2 was a steal on Expert Voice for $999. Best bang for the buck in optics IMHO.

    .224 Valkyrie Buffer & Spring....which one?

    I went with a Geissele buffer spring (Super Braided 42) rifle length and a H2 rifle length buffer.

    Scope leveling

    Feeler gauges or the Arisaka Leveling Tool and be done with it. Takes minutes instead of dicking with a plumb line, vice and bubble levels and still wondering if you got it right.
