    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    I didn't see a detachable magazine on this, but otherwise looked like a great rifle.

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    The best deals I've seen on the Delta 5 308 have been in the $1500 - $1600 ish range before shipping and FFL transfer. If it shoots well, that seems like it'd be tough to beat.

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    I agree completely. As a business it makes sense to have a better accuracy guarantee on the more expensive model. I think both models look great, and honestly I really like the idea of swapping the barrels with just a torque wrench and calling it good. One great rifle with one great scope...

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    When I was talking with a two man team at Mammoth they said the same barreled action is in both guns and the guy with the pro model said he'd have gone with the regular version because it's just as accurate but weighed a little less. Just what the guy said so I don't really know 100%.

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    As far as budget goes, I'm good with anything from the Delta 5 ($1,500) up to another GA Precision. I'd like to avoid the waiting time of a custom gun, but beggars can't be choosers.

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    I'm looking for a good, solid 308 I can count on and I just don't know everything available in the market today. I want something heavy enough that it shoots well, light enough I can use it at a rucking event like mammoth, but accurate enough I'm doing more than just blowing through ammo at...

    Rifle Competition Events Mammoth 2022

    My buddy and I did Mammoth in 2020 and we missed the last ruck on day 2 by 15 seconds. That's eaten at us ever since and we just did the 2022 Mammoth. Two years ago most of the ranges were very short and relatively larger targets compared to 2022. We went into 2022 trying to game it a little...

    Federal 69 grain Gold Medal Match Ammunition Accuracy

    I agree the every barrel is a special snowflake. My comment on the 69gr Fed GMM ammo was mostly geared towards the 4 or 5 bolt action 223's I've had over the years and the two white oak armament SPR uppers that are both about to be competing in the 2022 Mammoth Sniper Challenge later this week...

    Federal 69 grain Gold Medal Match Ammunition Accuracy

    Personally I've had better luck with 69gr matchkings in my rifles than 77gr's. Mostly played with factory ammo and for whatever reason the 69's seem to shoot better.

    I could use some advice on a semi 6.5cm

    "If going the Seekins SP10, confirm it has the +2 gas system." I will definitely go this route because I'll probably put my SDN-6 on whatever rifle I end up buying.

    I could use some advice on a semi 6.5cm

    So, I'm definitely liking the SP10 options I'm seeing and I've always wanted an excuse to buy an LMT. Couple questions about those now. I see the SP10 comes with their fixed stock, and I'd prefer to get something setup that has an adjustable stock that locks into position because some times...

    I could use some advice on a semi 6.5cm

    You guys have got me drooling on some options. I'd never heard of the seekings SP10, but I really liked their video on their warranty. I'm still researching though.

    I could use some advice on a semi 6.5cm

    I'm looking for a semi auto 6.5 creedmoor that I can take to matches, but isn't so dedicated to matches that I won't take it hunting because it weighs 16#'s. I enjoy shooting Guardian matches, and in January will do my second Mammoth. I like accurate rifles and shooting matches more for fun...

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    @swhiteh3 We timed out on the last ruck of the second day. For us it was about the challenge and not so much the score. When we timed out, we honestly didn't care less about the actual score and were more disappointed that we didn't get to continue and complete the tough man division...

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    By the end of the event, my partner and I kept looking at each saying we wished we've had both taken scoped AR-15's with 90rds of 77gr match ammo. At Ft. Gordon half the ranges are Army qual ranges that stay under 400 yards ish for targets. If I ever do it again, it'll be with an AR-15 and...

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    Regarding ammo transport, at 2020 I saw everything from ziplocks, factory boxes, and coletac ammo novel types of ammo carriers. Personally, I kept factory ammo boxes for rifle and tossed the trash as the event went on. For my pistol ammo I just threw it all in a ziplock. For a holster, I used...

    338 Lapua Magnum

    I'm using Redding Type S dies, but I'm using Fort Scot Munitions bullets and have to max out the die to get just enough seating depth that it'll fit in the magazine.

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I'm a newly minted RPR owner and haven't had my 338 more than two weeks and haven't fired the first round through it yet so take my experience for what it's worth..... very little. Mine came with two 5rd mags. Both went in and dropped free as expected. I've loaded both mags and cycled ammo...

    Who's got time and experience behind a RPR in 338L

    I have it in my hands as of my lunch break. I'll probably start a new thread whenever I start to get it dialed in. Something I'd forgotten to address previously was the bipod. I haven't given enough thought to which particular bipod I'm going to put on this thing.

    Who's got time and experience behind a RPR in 338L

    That's a great review and I just placed my order. For now, I'm planning to leave everything as it comes from the factory. The scope still isn't in so I'm going to be borrowing a SWFA 10X from another until that comes in. I'm looking for spare mags, as I'd like to have about 4 or 5. I am...
