    Reloading Equipment New primed never loaded .300NM brass 20k pieces

    Very typical scam here, not the OP. Glad you caught it.

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    Thanks for the post. I’ve seen your data mostly relates to ARs but I’ve noticed a POI shift in my AT-X. I am curious what you’ve seen in other chassis guns? I assume the most immune platform would be a classic bedded bolt action receiver in a fiberglass stock but am curious what your experience...

    Is there a consensus re: thread locker on breaks? In what scenarios should it be used on a bolt gun? I don’t have a silencer (live in CA)

    I've heard of at least one scenario where a stainless brake galled onto a stainless barrel. I throw a little grease on the threads if it's not a suppressor mount. If it's for a suppressor then I do a drop of rocksett instead. I would not go over 10-15 ft/lbs of torque, I have been told that too...

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    Has anyone tested their MRAD for POI shift when changing bipod/tripod position? Scott at @Veracity alluded to shift occurring but I can’t find any specifics.

    Woah... LMT & KAC quality/accuracy/performance

    All my KAC stuff has been great. My SR25's have been phenomenally accurate. I see a lot of folks commenting here that don't seem to have any real world experience, being influenced by a pair of kids on youtube. Sad.

    What targets for the mil-xt reticle

    I'd suggest going through the process of setting your diopter a second time. Glassaholic has a good write up; https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/attachments/diopter-adjustment-pdf.7812388/

    Rifle Scopes Glassaholic's History of Reviews

    Haha, I think we are on the same page. The terminology does feel a bit silly. I will say that for folks like you and I, who have been doing this for a very long time, the point of entry for a pretty solid piece of glass feels much lower than it was 20 years ago. These modern scopes are...

    Rifle Scopes Glassaholic's History of Reviews

    In this case the "higher bravo" scopes, as you call them, outperformed the "alpha" scopes in some categories. So, while I see your point, it's becoming increasingly difficult to quantify what means what and the jargon all begins to feel quite juvenile. If we're just talking perceived brand...

    Arken EP5 7- 35 .. Standing in for some Alpha Glass

    Bashing a ZCO is grounds for a ban? Not what I’d expect to be honest. Seems a bit soft. Regardless the man has proven his S&B problems were not fabricated and I for one appreciate the info. I had an issue with a S&B 5-25 a decade ago when they were considered the alpha and now look at their...

    Arken EP5 7- 35 .. Standing in for some Alpha Glass

    I'm not sure what caused the ban. Maybe S&B reps got ahold of the forum :ROFLMAO:

    Arken EP5 7- 35 .. Standing in for some Alpha Glass

    I mean, he's posting photos of the S&B's that have been problematic. ZCO has had a checkered past, no doubt.

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    My issue here is that I have the NF P-VPS and only need the rifle. If I can find a used MK22 for around $7500 that would be ideal but as it is my best option might be to source an MRAD for $5200 and have it cerakoted. On that note who is the best for re-finishing an MRAD to the proper MK22...

    Had someone impersonate the OP. Everyone be careful. Make sure you’re dealing with the real seller and not a scammer. OP is legit.

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    Thanks for the information, I really appreciate it. Good photos and any commentary have been almost impossible to find so you've really helped me out. Being that I already have the NF P-VPS I think I'll have to go MRAD and get it cerakoted rather than grab one of the deployment kits.

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    Thank you! So is the MRAD FDE chassis a different shade than the MK22?

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    Hey guys, hoping for someone that can chime in. Wanting to build a Mk22 clone but don’t need the full kit as they’re sold. What differences separate the true mk22 from the mrad? I am aware of the cerakoted barrel and UID but are there any other small details in the markings or elsewhere? Thanks
