    Rifle Scopes Scope with most "Color Pop"?

    Most "pop" I've perceived has been the NF ATACR, 2nd is Premier. Edit to add: my best friend is red-green deficient, has trouble distinguishing OD green from brown. A little different than your case I know. However, he has the same trouble no matter what scope he uses.

    Factory .308 loads. What are the most accurate available

    In factory Remington 700s (couple of 5Rs, an AAC-SD, and an XCR) I have gotten the most consistent and tight groups with Hornady's 168 Amax match load. This is compared to 155 Amax TAP, and FGMM 175 & 168.

    Short stroking semi auto .308

    Yes it may, as might a lighter buffer. If you are not at max you might go up on charge weight, although I'm sure you thought of that already.

    308 semi auto load ranges

    I've loaded a lot of 168's and 155's in gas guns using Varget and 8208 XBR but all in Winchester and Lapua brass. For working up with those headstamps I'd go 42-44.5gr Varget and 41.0-43.0gr 8208 with 168's, 155's I would go 44.0-46.0gr Varget and 43.0-45.0 XBR. For Federal/LC brass I would...

    Suppressors Switch caliber suppressors. Do they exist?

    I'm not an engineer, but there is a difference in muzzle pressure between a 45 acp and a 308 Win. Silencerco says you can shoot subsonic 300 BLK through a 45 Osprey, but not supersonic. I wouldn't shoot a centerfire rifle through a pistol can.

    Suppressors Switch caliber suppressors. Do they exist?

    No. The reason being that the ATF has ruled (stupidly) that silencer parts are themselves silencers, or at least constitutes constructive intent. So you can't just have a spare baffle stack laying around to change at will. From the ATF website: Q: May a repair change the dimensions or caliber...

    Co Ax press, an I screwing up

    If you're hard camming over with a Co-ax you will probably find your shoulders are pushed way too far back.

    260 Base to Ogive Question

    A 2.167" b/o is within the range of normal, but on the short side. Sounds like it was throated to keep 140's close to the lands at a 2.780" overall length, or throated for light bullets. I would call GAP and ask what freebore specs are on the reamer, and tell them what you're seeing. That would...

    There are 0.1 mil demarcations in the SCR reticle on the ends of the horizontal and the top of the vertical, but unlike the MSR they don't take up your field of view outside the main crosshair.

    Hacksaw+Rem 5r= Poor man's Gladius? *Updated with results in 1st post*

    UPDATE 9/10/14 Ok, one last update before it gets finished. This one I think most people would be more interested in because it's farther than 100 yards. Took the rifle pig hunting but didn't see any oinkers so this morning before leaving I set up a target at 416 yards and let all 13 rounds I...

    Rifle Scopes NF NXS Compact Questions

    Mil-R works fine. I'm sending this from my iPhone sitting in a hog blind with a 308 topped with a Mil-R NXS 2.5-10x42. The NF compacts are only 5 mil per turn, so yes I like having the zero stop. I set it for 0.5 mil under my 100 yard zero. Perfect size and weight for a tactical type scope on a...

    155gr 308 out of a 20'' barrel w/1:10 twist?

    I was getting 2800 out of a 20" AAC-SD with Berger 155.5's using IMR 8208XBR. Worked pretty well for a shorter 308.

    155gr 308 out of a 20'' barrel w/1:10 twist?

    I had a 16" 308 with a 10 twist and it LOVED 155's, that was my bread and butter for 3 years. Whoever told you it wouldn't work was talking out his ass.

    Hacksaw+Rem 5r= Poor man's Gladius? *Updated with results in 1st post*

    UPDATE 9/7/14 Rifle still has not been sent out for crown and threads, taking it pig hunting for a couple of days before I send it out. Took it back to the range to re-zero after having it all disassembled this past week and remounting the scope. Here's the 168 Amax load with 44.2 grains of...

    Suppressors Silencerco Saker 7.62 Reviews?

    Bump it back up, gonna buy a Saker762 this week. Wondering about accuracy/repeatibility on precision rifles or if I'll be relegated to using this on SBR's. Anybody have one cleared yet?
