Light 50 BMG?
I have to agree on something. It's not the recoil, it's the concussion that will be the issue. Has the OP actually spent much time behind a 50? I ask since if range is the desire, there are better BC setups that will reach out there: 338 Lapua is the obvious starting place. The OP will spend a...- John1911.com

Correct. We are still sponsoring this competition and will do so as long as you want us to. I stalk this thread every day. Impressive from the outside. Scary from the inside. Marky TTR- John1911.com

Damn. That is VERY consistent. Much better than I can do. I think your average is better than my personal all-time best single group. TTR- John1911.com

FNH Ballista
I have every reason to believe the SSR is coming. FWIW. If one checks around to the right places, that is the thinking. However, that could change 5 minutes after I post this. I also can't help but feel the current administration doesn't help. Let's be real here….FNH is in business to make...- John1911.com

The last two posts bring up a good point: can a Ballista accept parts from UA? Don't see why it shouldn't. TTR- John1911.com

.300 Win Mag
You're good, Dude. It was a general statement not directed at you. I understand a certain amount of trash-talking, especially among friends who shoot against each other. But sometimes the gun-store guys get out of control and take threads like this off track. TTR- John1911.com

.300 Win Mag
How about we don't? It's the maker-fan-boi bashing that keeps me out of most threads like this. Where is it written that if one user chooses brand x and the other user choose brand Y, things have to get all Hatfield-McCoy? Personally, I would rather shoot guns. I had no idea Canada was THAT...- John1911.com

.300 Win Mag
The Blaser 93 / LRS / LRS 2 have a whole pile of calibers available from Blaser. I'm not sure of the numbers, but it's a lot. Some really obscure calibers (to me anyway) as well. They offer barrels from semi-weight, to standard or match fluted and non-fluted. I believe there are some shops...- John1911.com

.300 Win Mag
Since the OP is an Australian resident, some of the American custom shops just may not be in the cards. Not sure. But I think the OP needs to give us more information as to what is and isn't possible. Not only import wise but time-wise. Since this has morphed into multi-calibers, I will...- John1911.com

Custom Rifle Build .338 Lapua (Calling All Gun Humpers!)
The Ballista is not available yet for civilians. Might come out at SHOT 2014. Might come out at SHOT 2020. Might not ever come out. If you are as anxious as your seem, forget the Ballista. It's vapor as far as this conversation is concerned. TTR- John1911.com

Blaser Tactical 2 (LRS 2, R93, R8) Loads
And thanks for the clarification on the LRS stuff. I am seriously looking at an LRS 2 for 6mm-ish bullets over getting a GRS stock for my R8. What you posted is dead on what I new, but I'll be damned if some the dealers don't have their $#!t all F'ed description wise. TTR- John1911.com

Blaser Tactical 2 (LRS 2, R93, R8) Loads
Basically no. We chatted via e-mail about it with someone in their sales marketing dept. They basically take the position they make stuff for military world-wide and all is fine. I wasn't going to get sucked into that argument so I let it drop. I'll save the tab-checking when I know for sure...- John1911.com

Sidearms & Scatterguns Fnx 45
I will add that when picking a Thigh-Holster, don't wear it low on the leg. If the holster comes with two straps, you can usually cut one off and wear it higher. Top (vertical) strap sometimes. And the top (horizontal) strap if it has it. Note: MOST Professionals actually wear their thigh...- John1911.com

Ben, there is some solid information in this post. I for one am grateful. Besides the specifics, there is also the statement that it IS coming. That is a huge deal.

Blaser Tactical 2 (LRS 2, R93, R8) Loads
LRS vs LRS 2 @rsxo, I am looking for some clarification. Currently I am very interested in some of the bullets with a higher BC. 6.5 Swede, 243, etc. I am casually looking at the LRS line of rifles. I know there is an LRS and LRS 2. And I thought I knew all the particulars, but I swear...- John1911.com

6.5 creedmoor vs .308
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. It's X-mas and we are slammed. And Frankly…..I kinda forgot about this thread. My advise is to not get too deep in the "arms-race" in the beginning. Especially if money is a concern (It rarely isn't). Would I suggest a 308 for a 13 year old...- John1911.com

That was funny for a chuckle around here. I suspect this thread has one foot on the collector's side and another foot on the worker's side of the fence. No great shakes as long as everyone can sleep at night I suppose. TTR- John1911.com
