    AR barrel question

    I agree, despite having a friend wHO likes Faxon barrels. So I bought a 20" in .244 Valkerie. It would not group at all with many different loads. Faxon did replace the barrel and the new one is better, but still not particularly accurate. I will try a few more loads and if I can't get sub...

    HookedonBrass, I will be interested to know how your Bison Armory barrel shoots when you get it dialed in, I am looking at that barrel.

    DPMS Repr jamming issues

    I have an AR 15 DPMS. It has a 20" barrel and is exceptionally accurate, it also failed to extract occasionally. As it was so accurate I did not want to send it back. I noticed that there were tiny marks, almost like pin pricks on the neck of the fired cases. I bought a flex hone and oil and...

    opinions, everyone has one, and I want to hear it.

    It sounds like you are primarily interested in target shooting at extended ranges, I don't see mention of hunting? If that is correct and you really like the AR, the Grendel does sound pretty good. Also, you might consider the 6 Hagar as it is based on the 6.8 case and therefore not as much of...

    Mifflin Co. 2-Gun Rifle-Pistol, Pa.

    Mifflin Co Sportsmen will host a 2-Gun match Nov 8th. This will be a 2-Gun (Rifle-Pistol) match with shots to 500, so a bit of a precision oriented 2-Gun. A good match for precision shooters who want to use a carbine and try a pistol or an action pistol shooter who wants to try out that AR...

    Black Hole Weaponry CS

    Good on Black Hole. As to Wal-Mart and Target. Wal-Mart supports shooting with ammo and guns where they are legal and sell-able. Target? I don't mind Wal-Mart customers, some look odd and many not stylish, but then again so does much of the rest of the world. So I'll happily continue to...

    AR15 with 90 grain berger at 2905 fps, impossible? Not so much.

    This is certainly a fascinating thread, excellent documentation on the round.

    New to the forum. Have a few questions.

    Dustin; It depends a little on what you want and where you will be shooting. In the Est, we have a hard time getting matches where they shoot over 200 yds, that being the case a 16" barrel is fine. I use a Rainer 16" Ultra match and think it is great. It handles well as it is fairly compact...

    Beginner Wanting to try 3 gun. Please Help!

    You are getting some good advise here. Any chance you know people who already shoot 3-gun. A day at the range trying out different guns and gear can go a long way to defining your needs. Also, the advise on shooting other actin matches first is good. Much of the safety commands and mindset...

    Mifflin Co Sportsmen will be hosting a 3-Gun match Mar. 29, 2014. This will be a 3-gun for riflemen, as there are targets out to 500 yds., that is why I am posting on Snipers Hide. Pistol will be typical action pistol type shooting, mostly fast and close. Shotgun is likely to include a...

    Who is the most historically significant SNIPER?

    The idea of who is most significant is interesting for its whys as much as its whos. for example, if we want to pick who has the most kills, then Mr Typhoid is a storng contender. If looking for a single shooter who effected history, the guy that whacked Arch Duke Ferdinand sure started one...

    need to replenish a few rifles.. FNAR and an AR15 platform

    If you want a FNAR and even in Pa. I just happen to have a brand new, unfired, FNAR that I won. I would love to shoot it but already have a DPMS 308 and a Savage bolt 308 so either the FNAR or one of the others has to go. If interested PM me.

    WMD guns AR-15 FC

    I have not used that brand, but I have used Spikes "Battle Trigger?", which is Niclel Boron coated. My belief is that with the lighter springs it is a decent trigger. It actually is pretty much what one woujdl expect, still a GI, but smoother out of the box than any GI I have used. Also...

    125 grain SST vs whitetail

    Sav338Lapua; what do you mean reinvent the 7.62X39, isn't that just about a 30-30, in an ugly rifle?

    My 6x6.8 build.
