    Rifle Scopes The new IOR 1-10x26 is here....

    Re: The new IOR 1-10x26 is here.... For that much weight you could put a couple of nice optics on the same rifle.

    Matched Bolt w/ Barrel for AR 15?

    Re: Matched Bolt w/ Barrel for AR 15? I think the companies that actually chamber to the headspace of a particular bolt will tell you this because it costs a little bit more to do this. I know that Shilen does this.

    Rifle Scopes Where does a fixed 6x fit in?

    Re: Where does a fixed 6x fit in? Really its not that appropriate for a .22LR since it does not have adjustable parallax. With a .22 you really want a parallax correction of 50 yards which is why dedicated rimfire scopes are made and sold.

    Rifle Scopes Black Friday: SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 Non Illuminated

    Re: Black Friday: SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 Non Illuminated It is a good deal really but instead of selling the 6x I'd probably buy another rifle to put under it so it would end up costing me a lot more.

    First "good" rifle

    Re: First "good" rifle The difference between a good rifle and a great rifle is very small these days. There are several reasonably priced factory rifles you can buy that you can reasonably expect .5 MOA accuracy from. By the time you are good enough to find that a limitation you will...

    Ordered a DPMS SASS good gun?

    Re: Ordered a DPMS SASS good gun? It seems a pretty good value when you consider all the accessories that come with it. I've only heard good things about its accuracy. You didn't waste your money and you'll be able to sell it if/when.

    7-08 or 260 Rem?

    Re: 7-08 or 260 Rem? This has all been covered pretty well, only other point I thought of to mention is later re-sale. I think for a *hunting* rifle you will have an easier time to sell a 7mm-08 since it is a more popular choice for hunting and lots of good factory ammunition is available...

    why does the 308 always trump the 30-06

    Re: why does the 308 always trump the 30-06 With mid-weight bullets the performance is similar. So it made sense for the military to switch to the .308 for its battle rifles because the shorter cartridge meant detachable magazines and a little less weight. I've never really understood why...

    Anyone think BCM will ever get a BCM-10?

    Re: Anyone think BCM will ever get a BCM-10? It is very hard to grow fast and maintain a high quality standard and a low price. I think they make the right choice to keep quality and price constant and let the growth happen more slowly if necessary.

    Best economy priced A2 upper (AR-15 platform)

    Re: Best economy priced A2 upper (AR-15 platform) [ DPMS CMP looks like a great value to me. RRA as well but you'll wait for it.

    Need help picking an AR>>>>

    Re: Need help picking an AR>>>> There are really lots of good choices. Noveske make nice barrels but their complete uppers or rifles are a bit expensive for what you get. My current favorites are LMT, BCM and Palmetto State (PSA). PSA's FN barrels are a bargain, a very durable double-chrome...

    Anyone think BCM will ever get a BCM-10?

    Re: Anyone think BCM will ever get a BCM-10? I wish they would too. I'm sure it would be an excellent value. For that matter, I wish LMT would make one that wasn't monolithic; they'd be able to sell it for quite a bit less.

    Fn Rifles.

    Re: Fn Rifles. I'm nearly sold on this rifle as well as my first precision bolt gun. The other option I have been considering is a 700 5R. That rifle does not have as nice a stock (and you can't buy one with a free bedding job!) but it is still pretty nice and has an excellent out of the box...

    My review of the JP 6.5 Grendel

    Re: My review of the JP 6.5 Grendel Good write up and that is a nice looking rifle. I am very interested in this caliber as it seems to wring about all the performance possible out of the standard mag length AR-15. I would like to see the load data that supports that chart though. Hottest...

    16 inch VS 18 Inch AR10 308cal.

    Re: 16 inch VS 18 Inch AR10 308cal. Its a pretty nominal trade-off in both directions. 16" is a little bit handier but its easy to over-state that - similar the 18" little more velocity. One other factor you won't see mentioned as often - so maybe I'm just more sensitive to it - is that all...

    Semi-Auto vs Bolt Action Accuracy with Cheap Ammo

    Re: Semi-Auto vs Bolt Action Accuracy with Cheap Ammo Not all of that ammo is crap. The Belgian surplus is very good shooting, there are probably others as well. PRVI's match ammo is very good, easily sub-moa. My guess is that some of these claims are true. The fact that your rifle doesn't...
