    Scope mount for AI AW

    Re: Scope mount for AI AW 5-25 is made for use with the 45 MOA mount, and this will keep you optically centered over a wider range. 28 will also work fine. That said, if I was getting a new mount, I'd go for one of the new Spurhr mounts in the GB section.

    Gunsmithing do AI stocks need to be bedded?

    Re: do AI stocks need to be bedded? I'm not a gunsmith, and Mr. Roscoe's explanation makes sense to me. I'd assume that a heavy 22LR action would be less prone to shifting pressure points during recoil in a properly torqued stock than a 300WM. Again, I'm no gunsmith.

    Gunsmithing do AI stocks need to be bedded?

    Re: do AI stocks need to be bedded? Learned the hard way on three of four rifles. Recommend Devcon over softer glass based products. On paper: Standard REM 700 308-- 1.1 inch groups at 100Y with an occassional uncalled flier that went wide to .75 inch groups with AB175 factory ammo. REM...

    Worth the effort/expense to free float an AR?

    Re: Worth the effort/expense to free float an AR? Free float if you are going to shoot over 300 yards or you like using a sling to shoot. Use a piston over DI if you hate cleaning, are going to be shooting in really bad conditions, or are going to run a suppressor. For recreational, a...

    Re: do AI stocks need to be bedded? Had several AICS-stocked rifles--from 22LR to 300WM. All needed bedding.

    This is why I put a Bartlein on my AIAW

    Re: This is why I put a Bartlein on my AIAW I haven't found a factory round that my AI did shoot sub-MOA. Glad to see the Bartleins are the same.

    REPR Groups

    Re: REPR Groups Thanks for this post--I'm hoping mine will tighten up as I shoot it more. I've been running KAC mags--haven't had a hitch. How do you like the PMAGS?

    Gas Piston Battle Rifle

    Re: Gas Piston Battle Rifle Gas 308 with a suppressor is a pain to clean if any kind of blowback system is involved. HK, M14-based, and non-piston ARs will suck to deal with suppressed and short. You'll definitely be wearing dirty glasses after you shoot-even with the HKs.

    Opinions on Polytech M14-s

    Re: Opinions on Polytech M14-s Polytech receivers are very good--dimensionally correct and very hard. Their stock internals aren't so good. You want one with a minimum of a GI bolt assy and op-rod.

    LWRC REPR

    Re: LWRC REPR REPRs are the schizzle if you are going to run suppressed because they run clean and cool. If you aren't going to a can, you will get better value going with a good DI set-up. I had a custom AR10 that shot just over .5MOA that I sold to get the REPR. The REPR runs just over...

    H K SR9

    Re: H K SR9 Know what you are getting into with one of these, and then get an SR9T. If you want it to shoot well with a scope, you are likely going to need to find a KAC forend (friggin tough to get these days) and an HK claw mount. This gives you the stable bipod position and a no-slip...

    Range Report Heavy Rounds / Shorter Barrels

    Re: Heavy Rounds / Shorter Barrels Just got back from TDY... Looking at the 178s or possibly the 180 VLDs. I'm going to try Graham's route. Thanks

    Range Report Heavy Rounds / Shorter Barrels

    Re: Heavy Rounds / Shorter Barrels When I shoot F Class, I'm really doing it for feedback for my own shooting. That said, my goal is to be consistently within 10 inches at 1000. If a 20-22 inch barrel will maintain sufficient velocity with the heavier rounds, then that would be great.

    Range Report Heavy Rounds / Shorter Barrels

    Want a shorter barrel in an AW. How short can I go with the heavier Bergers/AMAXs in 308 and still have decent performance for F-Class? Most of my other shooting is beyond 800 and suppressed. Thanks

    Re: 5X25 Schmidt & Bender What Rob said-- I have a S&B 5-25 FFP for my 22LR and love it. The scope is superb for this application.
