What is "long range"?
Hell yeah, lets argue! I've been having this discussion a lot lately through professional channels and I've been trying to come up with a solid definition for what "long range" actually is. Most people will typically reply "it depends on the cartridge", but I just HATE that because it's not a...- Zigjib

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
I can't find the link now, which makes me a liar.... but there's definitely a new butt pad assy you can buy. It replaces that fully adjustable LOP with a non adjustable for LOP one. It still allows the pad to move up and down using a screw. A lot of the excess material in the butt Assy is...- Zigjib

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
Zero issue running the 1/8 with 308 bud. Haven't gone lower than 168gr at this point though but shouldn't be any issues. We are running 185gr FGMM ammo and it's insanely consistent for factory ammo. ES/SD is sitting at 8fps on average for nearly 200 rounds now. Ours has the 17" barrel and we...- Zigjib

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
The Nightforce is a good option too. Just something to be aware of; The repeated slamming closed of the receiver MIGHT be causing a shift in zero. We have to open the receiver and remove the bolt after every serial/range trip for safety. The receiver is opened, bolt removed, rifle cleared...- Zigjib

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
Oh dude, that sucks. Sorry that happened hey. I still have 1 Spuhr Mount. I think they fixed all the issues so there's probably no risk going forward, just something to consider. Also, I really really like how the Badger C1 mount looks. 90% of the battle is looking cool, and I need all the...- Zigjib

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
Dunno if it's too late, but consider the Badger C1 instead. We've had a few of the spuhr mounts crack through the mounting screws, even though they were torqued to spec. Not saying that's normal or that Spuhr is no good, because they are, just that the Badger set is a good option too. I prefer...- Zigjib

Cheers mate! I didn't even know you could spec the bore. I'll talk to my barrel maker and see what he says.- Zigjib

22 arc bolt
It's a custom barrel by a local manufacturer. I wanted to run DTACs so got the 1/7 twist, but couldn't get them so ended up with the 108gr ELDM. I hear Berger's have a stronger jacket but I haven't tried then.- Zigjib

22 arc bolt
Looking at building a 22ARC bolt gun. Are you guys pushing those high MV's seeing any issue with bullets deforming or coming apart? I have a 1/7" twist 6mm Creedmoor that is ripping bullets apart if I go above 2950fps. I'm worried that the cartridge is more designed for AR platforms and MVs.- Zigjib

Mk13 Mod7 Trigger
G'day mate! Good to hear from you! I'd prefer the Giessele but I believe it's been discontinued? I appreciate the offer, but there's bit of paperwork on my end for imports (triggers are classed as firearms components in Aus and right now.... hoooolley dooley there's some stuff going on with...- Zigjib

Mk13 Mod7 Trigger
I need a Mk13 Mod 7 trigger. From what I understand, the X-treme trigger is the Rem700 trigger footprint trigger, but does anyone know if the model 22 is interchangeable for the mk13 trigger? Ack the safety is silver not black like it should be but i'm just happy to have something that works at...- Zigjib

Probably just lighting making it look slightly different. Combined with different filters and after effects but they advertise it as coyote tan mate- Zigjib

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
Damn, that's a flex post and a half. Cheers for that mate seems the AXSR is 13.5" minimum. I must've miss-googled when I got 12.6". Did you naturally go for 14" or did you make them the same for consistencies sake? Did you have any adjustment period going to longer LOP or was it pretty natural...- Zigjib

The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!
I think you're onto something. We considered that as well. I can't see any way they would be able to make the LOP shorter the way they've designed the butt and still capture the bolt. SURELY that's not why it's so long..... but it makes sense from a design perspective.- Zigjib
