    Which 2-10 for me?

    Given that it's only out to 300, that NXS is actually a decent option. At max range, you'd probaby be using 10x and the SFP won't matter at that point, or you can dial wind if you feel like you need to. For FFP, I'd be looking at the MK5 or Trijicon Credo. If you want to go full hipster, you...

    Rifle Scopes Scope help for prs….atacr vs nx8 vs….

    I've never seen an issue with my friends' NX8 4-32s. People like to talk trash on its optics, but I kind of wonder if that's more of a 2.5-20 NX8 thing. I get spanked in PRS and NRL22 on the regular with guys running NX8s. If you MUST go MOA, then the MOA-XT seems to be decent. I will say...

    Best eyebox

    I also don't think the Razor III's eyebox is its strongest point. Optical clarity is. Of all the ones mentioned here that I've looked through (haven't looked through Zeiss or Steiner), the Burris XTR Pro is going to have the most forgiving eyebox. You get a lot more CA and stuff if you're not...

    6mm BRA

    Does your Smith not take into consideration what brass you'll be using? Mine always asks so he can get the chamber right, especially with regards to neck thickness. He's got several reamers for each of the 6mms just to account for brass choices.

    6mm BRA

    Out of curiosity, who chambered your barrel? That sounds similar to a situation a friend of mine had with a bad 7 SAUM chamber from proof. He was getting all kinds of pressure signs at 2700 fps and 180 hybrids. After taking it to a Smith, the chamber ended up being off centered/tilted it something.

    Bolt carrier for precision AR-15

    I take it you had to machine the sleeves?

    Bolt carrier for precision AR-15

    Any chance we could get a list of oversized bolt carriers to prevent carrier tilt? Young National Match seems to be old news since they sold to a different holding company. I had been thinking of buying a JP - are they considered oversized?

    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    Ok talk to me about centering the bolt carrier. I'm rebuilding my Grendel which is not giving impressive groups, and I'm planning on loctiting it, but I'm curious about how you go about centering a bolt?

    6 ARC powder consensus for heavies in AR

    And another reason to buy one lot and not from several. I'm glad most of my stash is from the same lot, yikes.

    Actions With AW Cut

    Making 11 dummy rounds and feeding all 11 over and over again until they all feed perfectly is your friend. Watch when one doesn't feed. Is the tip of the bullet crossing the hole and hitting the far side of the chamber edge? Straight wall issue. Fix by grabbing a monkey wrench and opening up...

    Actions With AW Cut

    Reliable feeding is more than just the action. It's the chassis/stock you choose. I've run AWs behind a TL3, GAP Tempest, and a Lone Peak Fuzion, and all three required tuning the feed lips and raising the mag catch. The problem wasn't with the actions. KRG's standard mag catch is just so dang...

    6 ARC powder consensus for heavies in AR

    Interesting. I used it in a 6.5 Timberwolf (6.5 Dasher basically) back in the day and wasn't anywhere near max. That might explain the wild swings I got.

    6 ARC powder consensus for heavies in AR

    LVR is great for speed, but it's not super temp stable, and the ES numbers can get pretty big.

    6 ARC powder consensus for heavies in AR

    I was recently considering going ARC over my current Grendel. I'll bite. What's up with 8208 XBR? I decided against ARC just based on the lack of good data for 8208 XBR and 107s (I have 3500 107s on the shelf and about 16 lbs of XBR on hand) and ordered a new Grendel barrel yesterday instead.

    Fixed or variable Scope

    What kind of animal stays at Max power?? I usually shoot my 25x at 12-22x depending on how much eye box I need, how much detail I want to see, and how much field of view I want. 18x is where I default to though. The only advantage to a fixed power is that the eye piece is cheaper to...

    6mm BRA

    I've never had any issues with my Alpha brass. I guess my smith just got it right with his reamer choice. He's been shooting the same reamer specs with Peterson and 105s and it's been great for him too. Sucks to hear it didn't work out well for some here. New components for a different cartridge...

    I was getting 2738 with 40gr h4350 under 140 hybrids and alpha brass. 26" barrel

    6mm BRA

    I'm betting you could get 2800 easy with the 112s and ~30gr varget. MBs have shot really well for me out of an XC and x47 in the past. I have about 1200 on the shelf. I wouldn't mind seeing anyone's data on them either.

    Rifle Scopes US Optics

    I keep my Nightforce for the low Parallax setting on a .22. If the FDN 25x or 17x had an 11yds parallax, I'd be running one of those on my .22 instead.

    Rifle Scopes US Optics

    I mean, as you increase magnification it's obviously reducing FOV, but the FOV is very, very good once you're past tunneling. Depth of field is a bit better than an ATACR 7-35. I've never checked actual parallax, so I can't speak to that other than the eyebox on the 25x is narrow enough that...
