    This on-line training....

    Re: This on-line training.... I agree. The training is well laid out and helpful. I have been using the lessons for myself and also to aid in training my 10 year old daughter who wants to hunt deer this year. I have taken one tactical carbine class, oodles of defensive pistol classes but...

    6.5 Creedmor 18.5''-20'' ?

    Re: 6.5 Creedmor 18.5''-20'' ? Finally got to chrono the Hornady factory 140's in the 23" 6.5 Creedmoor this afternoon. 2,652 fps average for 10 shots at 1300 feet, 83 degrees and 3-8 mile per hour cross wind. Accuracy was great. My shooting conditions were less than stellar! My friends'...

    who to do a cusotm paint job?????

    Re: who to do a cusotm paint job????? hydro556, Maybe you would have to see one of Dimension's paint jobs to see my viewpoint. He airbrushes skulls, templars, knights, etc onto the stock and, for me at least, they look too good to take hunting. Darin

    who to do a cusotm paint job?????

    Re: who to do a cusotm paint job????? +2 for 30calsniper. His work is very good and he is great to work with. I will agree with the posts about Jeromy (Dimensions) painting being in a league of it's own. If I had Jeromy paint a stock, the stock would end up hanging on the wall to admire...

    Re: 6.5 Creedmor 18.5''-20'' ? K9222, I hope to test the 140's next Saturday AM. I will have to post some pics of the gun and groups as soon as I get the chance. Darin

    6.5 Creedmor 18.5''-20'' ?

    Re: 6.5 Creedmor 18.5''-20'' ? Sorry for the delay. I just got back into town from an "HK Build Class" in Stilwell, OK hosted by Jeff Walters and Prusik USA. The GAP 23" 6.5 Creedmoor barrel with Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor 120 grain ammo at 90 degrees and 1300' elevation averaged 2,876.2 fps for...

    Re: 6.5 Creedmor 18.5''-20'' ? If there is enough daylight left tomorrow night I will run out and break in the barrel and chrono the beast. Darin

    6.5 Creedmor 18.5''-20'' ?

    Re: 6.5 Creedmor 18.5''-20'' ? Guys, GAP did the 23" barrel for my AW so the limiting factor to accuracy will be the nut behind the trigger. It will probably be a couple of weeks before I can report accuracy and velocity information. Thanks, Darin

    6.5 Creedmor 18.5''-20'' ?

    Re: 6.5 Creedmor 18.5''-20'' ? I will be testing a 23" GAP 6.5 Creedmoor barrel as soon as I have time. I went 23" instead of 27" because I plan to shoot it suppressed most of the time. I will see what kind of velocity it kicks out. Darin

    AIAW Barrels?

    Re: AIAW Barrels? PadronAniversary, No, GAP has all of the dimensions threading and chambering so the action isn't needed. The receivers are VERY consistent. Darin

    AIAW Barrels?

    Re: AIAW Barrels? Senna.bra, It was $820 or $830. The fluting and threaded muzzle w/thread protector added $305 if I remember correctly. Darin

    AIAW Barrels?

    Re: AIAW Barrels? Mo_Zam_Beek, I recently bought a new AIAW and ordered it with the 20" plain barrel and sent the barrel to GAP to have them add an FTE brake. Much cheaper to have GAP add the FTE and it is much more effective than the single chamber AI AW brake. Also, the FTE is threaded...

    12.5" bbl 308 ar???

    Re: 12.5" bbl 308 ar??? 300WSM, No kidding! Try it with the original Vollmer brake. I saw one gentleman blow his hat off hip shooting another copy of the same model. Darin

    AIAW Barrels?

    Re: AIAW Barrels? Mo_Zam_Beek, If you are ordering a barrel only and not just choosing the barrel option on a new gun, I strongly suggest you call GA Precision and have them make exactly what you need. AI barrels are nice and work great but the selection is limited and you may need to pull...

    12.5" bbl 308 ar???

    Re: 12.5" bbl 308 ar??? My old 7.62x51 HK51 had a 9" barrel and it was great for shooting rabbits in my backyard up in South Dakota. I should have chrono'd it. I am quite curious what kind of velocity it had. Darin

    6.5 Creedmoor Build

    Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Build Hi Nate, I am not finding any marks on my receivers like you describe. My preferences for the SPR are mostly a comparison to the Rem 700. I REALLY like the SPR actions for a hunting gun, especially. I much prefer the 3 position safety that locks the firing pin...
