    $6,000 and a favor, give me some recommendations on what to get.

    I'm thinking that I will end up with the short end of the stick. I was planning on saving about $1,500 on a $6,000. I should have posted this before I made the deal. I will be sticking to my word nevertheless, and if I can get $500 off a nice 50 cal rifle, I won't lose any sleep at night.

    Per the OP, $6,000 is the budget for the rifle only. Glass, reloading components, bipods, are all being seperately considered and budgeted for.

    I'll keep following the reviews on the DTA, their customers sure seem happy. I still kind of like the idea of the BA50 as well. Does anyone know whether Bushmaster is actually still producing weapons?

    I'm inclined to agree with this post, the entire reason I set my 300 up the way I did was that I figured I'd get 80% of the lapua's performance for less than 40% of the price. Stepping up to a 50 would be a real game changer, especially because of the payload rounds.

    I appreciate the offer,but i dont care for either of those calibers. I dont mean to offend, I'm just looking for something bigger that will have capabilities beyond those in my current arsenal.

    I do the $15 dollar transfers all the time, but that's usually a gun that is coming from another FFL dealer. I'm looking to get something at my FFL's cost from his distributor(s) or from a factory. I think if I go full custom, I won't get the discount. I'll check on the barrett, though.

    Google search with new site

    The google thing is super annoying, but if we have to wait for it to cycle, then so be it. What about links within threads not working? At least ten times, I've been reading a thread that will have a link to another snipershide thread, and that link will just go to the home page. Will that...

    I've definately considered AI, but I doubt I'll get much of a discount. Does anyone know what dealer's cost would be on an AI in 338?

    Here's the situation: I've got about 6k to spend, and a client who is an FFL dealer. Client and I have agreed that he will square up his legal fees by selling me one weapon of my choosing at his cost. I don't have to blow the whole 6k, but I'm thinking the more expensive the weapon = better...

    Suppressors 30 BA, TiRant, Spectre, YHM 5.56, input? (Updated with short review)

    Just wanted to update my old suppressor thread. All of the cans have arrived at the dealer. I finished setting up a trust for myself and a neighbor out on the farm. What's the word on wait times for the examiner assigned to Nebraska?

    Match upper and lower set suggestions please

    Re: Match upper and lower set suggestions please I went with Mega MaTen, and like it alot. I've also heard good things about Black Rain and SI Defense. Heck, if you could find a set cheap enough, DPMS would probably be fine. The Mega has a screw that can be used to tighten upper and lower...

    MATEN Barrel recommendations.

    Re: MATEN Barrel recommendations. Lilja makes some ready to go barrels in 308 and 260, but I think the shortest is the AR10740, which is 20". I can't imagine a 260 with less than a 20" barrel.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which "carry" handgun to choose

    Re: Which "carry" handgun to choose I'd go single stack, becuase I find double stack guns difficult to coneal. My vote would be for the Colt Defender or M&P shield.

    6.5 barrel length question

    Re: 6.5 barrel length question I've got a Lilja AR10740 on my MaTen, it's a 20" 260. I can't tell you about the velocity yet, but it feels and looks great on the rifle.

    5R Cut Rifled vs SS Match Barrels

    Re: 5R Cut Rifled vs SS Match Barrels I have experience with two factory remington 5r's and I believe there is something magical about 5r rifling. I would spend the extra $200 in a heartbeat.

    AR10 build help

    Re: AR10 build help You have a problem, but of course you already knew that. Lilja says their barrel is DPMS type, which is correct. The other type is Armalite. Dpms type would include DPMS, Mega, Black Rain, SI Defence, and perhaps others. Armalite type would include Armalite, LaRue...

    20" MaTen 260 loads??

    I'm just finishing my MaTen, with a 20" lilja, and am wondering (1) if anyone has a similar set up, and (2) what loads have you been having luck with. This rifle will see some hunting, deer and coyotes, and I was thinking perhaps the hornady sst. I like that it has a cannelure since this is a...
