    SureFire SOCOM300 SPS on 6.5 CM

    Not for me. Greater back pressure usually (not always) indicates a quieter suppressor through baffle design. I’ve got a few thousand, trouble free, rounds through mine. Mostly 300 Blk through a B&T APC 300 with an 8.7” 1-7 twist barrel shooting 220 gr. SMK, 208 gr. and 190 gr. Hornady...

    SureFire SOCOM300 SPS on 6.5 CM

    If my 300 SPS isn’t on one of my 300 Blk rifles, it’s on my 6.5 CM bolt gun, the brake is my preferred mount. I’ve ran it on a couple 5.56 SBR’s and it sounded almost as good as the SB2 but the size is noticeable. Interchanging between the RC2 and the 300 SPS, I notice the 300 SPS creates...

    Scar 20s NRCH .308

    I’ve been very pleased with mine. My early 1:12 twist, 18” 308 barrel shoots consistent MOA or better with handloads and my Creedmoor barrel shoots better. Getting it to reliably function suppressed and unsuppressed took a little effort to find the proper jetting and even though I didn’t have...

    18in Spr Optics

    I’ve tried a few different optics on my 18” SPR/DMR, but the ATACR 4-16x42 is what I’m going with. For a while the weight was a concern, but overall the scope is just so much better than the others I tried, so I reduced weight elsewhere.

    My Bergara has been a fantastic rifle, it's easy to shoot sub MOA with several different factory loads and hand loads. By far the easiest rifle I've owned for developing hand loads, everything from 130gr. SMK to heavy 153.5gr. Bergers. Mine is a Premier in 6.5CM that I've had the barrel cut to...

    Nightforce ATACR 4-16 x42 or NX8 2.5-20 for 6.5 gasser

    I waited several months, nearly a year, for a 4-16x42 MIL-XT to show up on Eurooptic as a demo or used. I was tempted several times to pick up something else, after getting it, I am very glad I picked up what I wanted. It's reputation is well earned and after getting it, I realized I should have...

    Mk12 Mod 0 / Mod 1 SPR Scope

    I just went from the 2.5-10x24 NXS to the 4-16x42 ATACR MIL-XT on my primary 18” AR. I really like the 2.5-10 but have been looking for something with more magnification and parallax adjustment so I’m willing to overlook the extra size and weight. After a couple range sessions, I’m very happy...

    Suppressors Suppressor Suggestions For SBR.

    Great choice. If you haven’t already, take a look at the Surefire SB2 as well. With a 10.3” barrel you’re giving up a couple decibels for a slightly larger bore, but significantly less back pressure.

    5.56 vs .30 cal Suppressor for 5.56

    In my experience, muzzle velocity, weight, length, back pressure are generally similar between a 30 cal. and 22 cal. suppressor. Muzzle flash and sound suppression are also, generally very similar, to the shooter. However, to anyone near the shooter, muzzle flash and actual sound suppression...

    Opinions on a 223 boltgun build for my two boys

    Used, from the local pawn shops, Cabelas, Bass Pro, Sheels and Gun Broker if you’re willing to pay new prices for used. In the last month I’ve seen 3 Remington 700’s in 223 locally, one was an older PSS that was in rough shape, but listed for a great price. I agree, a custom actioned rifle is...

    Anyone with a surefire 762 Socom MB?

    My understanding is the taper controls the seating depth of the suppressor. Top is the 762 brake, bottom is 556.

    Anyone with a surefire 762 Socom MB?

    Unless they’ve recently changed, Surefire 5.56 suppressors will only fit 5.56 muzzle devices.

    Anyone with a surefire 762 Socom MB?

    .125” or 1/8” wide on all of my muzzle devices, 5.56, 6.5, 6.8 and 7.62.

    .223 Rem 700 SPS upgrades and Barrel replacement

    MDT and Magpul polymer magazines feed fine, my AI magazines are strictly range mags, I do prefer Accurate and MDT metal magazines though. I had mine trued when I had it re-barreled and I’d do it again, just for the piece of mind. I get sub MOA groups from most of my hand loads, with minimal load...

    Cadex Defence, flaunt it if you've got it!

    I’ve been looking for some inspiration for my next build, looks like I just found it. I love my semi auto 300 Blk rifles but haven’t seen the need to build a bolt gun in the caliber until now. Well done on yours, it is absolutely one of the best looking rifles I’ve seen in quite some time. If...
