    new gps? opinions

    Re: new gps? opinions I'm really liking the Garmin eTrex 30 that I purchased a couple of months ago. I got it for the excellent track management capabilities, widely supported map format, and combined GPS/GLONASS receiver. There are tons of no-charge maps available on the web that will load...

    Is it worth putting a muzzel brake on a .308

    Re: Is it worth putting a muzzel brake on a .308 I ordered my AW .308 with an SAS TOMB, which is threaded on the outside for my SAS Arbiter suppressor. I shot the rifle with just the brake for nine months while waiting for all the paperwork to clear. The brake makes it very easy to spot my...

    Tactical Backpack - Need Your Recommendation

    Re: Tactical Backpack - Need Your Recommendation I was recently in the market for a pack in the 45 liter range. Good experiences over the past 10 years with a Mountainsmith Bugaboo day pack had me looking at the Kifaru Zulu + XTL. Mountainsmith uses wide, flat webbing for their hip belts that...

    16" .308 Bolt Guns - Accurracy

    Re: 16" .308 Bolt Guns - Accurracy One of my pals has an OBR with a 16" barrel. Talk about some fierce muzzle blast! I much prefer the 20" barrel on my AW.

    Rem SPS Tac 308 bolt won't close / military ammo

    Re: Rem SPS Tac 308 bolt won't close / military ammo I had this happen with a Remington Model 7. The the problem was the rim diameter of the military ammo. Pull the bolt and see if the case fits. —Andreas

    AAC-SD break in period???

    Re: AAC-SD break in period??? I wouldn't expect much better than that from a factory AAC-SD. Among other things, the cheap plastic stock doesn't free float the barrel. Check out these videos from a fellow hide member to get an idea how well the rifle should perform and how to improve it...

    .308 target ammo

    Re: .308 target ammo I've found PPU 145 gr. 7.62x51 to work quite well out of my AW. It will hit a 6" plate 5 for 5 at 300 yards, and I've used it on steel silhouettes out to 800 yards. It's particularly good for shooting from less stable positions, such as when using an improvised support to...

    scope levels... all created equal?B

    Re: scope levels... all created equal?B I have the Accuracy 1st on my AW, and it's easy to see the ball without shifting my position behind the rifle. It doesn't interfere with rifle handling or get in the way. Installation and careful leveling took about 45 minutes. It's surprising how...

    Accuracy International scope mount

    Re: Accuracy International scope mount I'm running the Picatinny 30 mm, 18 MOA mount on my AI AW .308 to hold an SS 5–20x50. It's not quick release like the LaRues on my AR-15s, but it holds in place real well. My only criticism would be that the clamp on the left side of the mount sits up...

    Break-in Ammo

    Re: Break-in Ammo Never bothered to "break in" my AI AW .308. It's driven tacks from day one. Same with my precision AR-15. There's certainly a period of getting comfortable with a new rifle, but that's a whole different matter.

    MagnetoSpeed Chronograph Review

    Re: MagnetoSpeed Chronograph Review I'm thinking of getting one of these. Has anyone tried them with solid copper bullets like Barnes X? I see Barnes mentioned earlier, but they make both copper and bronze bullets.

    Rifle Scopes thoughts on current generation IOR 2.5-10x42 FFP

    Re: thoughts on current generation IOR 2.5-10x42 FFP I have one on my precision AR-15 and think it's a fine scope for the money. I've shot out to 600 yards with it. The glass is clear and the tracking crisp and repeatable. The coatings do have a warm color cast, and there's considerable...

    AIAW- AE Dislikes?

    Re: AIAW- AE Dislikes? I purchased an AI AW .308 with a folding stock from Mile High Shooting in October and would do it again in a heartbeat. After over 1,500 rounds and shooting out to 1,500 yards, my one complaint would be hand positioning on the thumbhole stock. I like how the McMillan...

    Why is bolt action more accurate than semi?

    Re: Why is bolt action more accurate than semi? David Tubb talks about this at length his book <span style="font-style: italic">The Rifle Shooter</span> where he explains his dissatisfaction with the SR-25 as a match rifle and the development of the T2K. One of his main complaints is the lock...

    Barrett MRAD or AI AX308

    Re: Barrett MRAD or AI AX308 Have a look at the drop & wind charts on this page and note that the .260 Remington, .300 Win Mag, and .338 Lapua Mag shoot about the same. The magnums put more energy downrange and are easier to spot but seem hard to justify if you're just ringing steel. I've...
