    Most accurate mk12 barrel?

    If they're doing the PRI barrels, I might have to pick one up, their prices are better that CLE's if I remember their pricing. Call me superstitious, but I'm inclined to believe that who chambers a barrel and their methods used makes a difference in performance, assuming a good blank. I'm less...

    Someone Should Try This

    I hereby resurrect this thread... Do you just ask a smith to make a weight piece to a certain size, or do you give them your whole upper and tell them to make it tight? What kind of specs would you recommend? I'm between doing this (alreayd have an SCS and JP grendel bolt) or pulling the...

    What power did you take this through-the-scope picture at? Is that 4x or up higher?

    TT and Vortex Gen3 in PRS

    I went ahead and plugged a hypothetical 10x6mm cylinder into Chat GPT (not conclusive, but I figured it'd answer my question enough) and what it gave me back was: So, the brass cylinder will expand approximately 0.0058 mm in height and 0.0035 mm in diameter when the temperature changes from...

    TT and Vortex Gen3 in PRS

    This is a busted SWFA that I never bothered to send back for repairs because it was an interesting thing to have lying around anyways. I don't know anything about how much metals expand/contract per degree Fahrenheit, so this could be a dumb question. Forgive my ignorance. If the piece at the...

    TT and Vortex Gen3 in PRS

    What is strong weak? Like too much elevation when dialing up, and fail to return to zero when it's hot? Or that turrets simply feel different if they're cold vs hot?

    Do you mind providing a list of those that failed?

    Whiskey 3 compatibility with CTR mags?

    I cut up a W3 forend to work on mine and it kind of worked. I think it would have gone better if I tuned the feed lips, and did a mag catch tune up as well. CTR compatible back bone, W3 folder rear, opened up W3 forend:

    Which Scope for a Lightweight .50BMG?

    The USO FDN series is durable, lightweight and hasn't offered me any issues with tracking whatsoever. Their eye relief is on the shorter end, at 3.2", .2" less than the SWFA 12x42. Original post says eye relief is a big factor. Based on that, I'd be looking at a MK5. Their eye relief is super...

    Optics USO FDN 25X

    If this were a JVCR, I'd be all over this. The only scopes I've regretted selling have been USO FDNs. GLWS

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR III vs Burris XTR Pro vs NX8 4-32...or

    You had the XRS3 for a while, didn't you? I know it's comparing a flagship optic to a budget line, but how do they compare? By the looks of it the XRS3 has a small sight picture, and the MPED has a large view. I'm curious what your thoughts are there.

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR III vs Burris XTR Pro vs NX8 4-32...or

    Probably not. Burris' Chromatic Aberration control isn't awesome. Even the XTR Pro has quite a bit, especially if you're off centered at all. The eyebox is yuge on the Pro as a trade off. The MPED has a good reputation for controlling CA. Honestly, if you like your NX8, I'd just stock up on...

    TT and Vortex Gen3 in PRS

    I think there are a few of shooters who choose their sponsors. Talking with Vibbert at a match a couple of years ago, he mentioned that he went to the various vendors he had bought stuff from and told them to pay him for the attention he was getting for them, and it worked. If my favorite optics...

    TT and Vortex Gen3 in PRS

    I heard someone mention it a last week at the Hornady match, but no names were given. I kind of wonder just how many people are ditching their G3s, or if it's one of those hear say things that gets amplified online and trumped up to being way more than it should be when it's just one or two people.

    Are there optical designs that mitigate this more than others?

    Glad they got that figured out, I know it pissed a bunch of people off in the ts series
