    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    I'm not dissatisfied with the rifle at all, but an average closer to 1 MOA would make me much happier. I'm going to load up a few ladder tests and try some Hornady TAP 155 loads too. As is, it will still handle the the tasks I want to handle though.

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    I would agree. I would be happy as could be with consistent 1 MOA groups, but at this point it is obviously more of a 1.5 MOA gun.

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Got in a brief range trip this morning and put 40 more rounds of Federal 168 down the pipe. It seems to shoot better when it's a little warm, and either it or I am throwing a flyer out of almost every group. If I can isolate that, I think I'll really have a great shooter on my hands.

    ALG Defense triggers

    I've got a half dozen "parts kit triggers" ranging from Daniel Defense to PSA . Not a single of them is even in the ballpark with my ACT's.

    got a new dpms g2 hunter on it's way. couple questions

    That was after the 65 rounds I shot that day. Like I said it was never remotely uncomfortable, maybe I just bruise easily.

    got a new dpms g2 hunter on it's way. couple questions

    I didn't find recoil to be bad at all. I have a decent strawberry, but I never found it to be uncomfortable while was shooting.

    DPMS GII 308 rifles

    I picked my G2 Hunter up from my FFL yesterday, after it was purchased from Bud's on 2/28 (it actually arrived this past Monday). I mounted a Leupold fixed 10x on it for the time being, though it will get a Bushnell ERS soon enough. With the Leupold and ADM mount it is a svelt 9.6 lbs...

    ALG Defense triggers

    I'm the exact opposite. I'm not much of a trigger Nazi at all, and am in no way interested in a $200- $300 trigger. But for $65 I have put ACT's in every single one of my AR's that previously had mil-spec triggers in them. They are far superior in my opinion, for a very minimal investment.

    I also ordered a gen 2 Hunter last week. I plan to put a Bushnell HDMR on it when I get my funds saved back up.

    Midway Has Joined CTD on my CRAP List

    Is there anyone that will ship powder and primers together? I've paid two hazmats from every vendor I've used (Wideners, Grafs, Midway, Midsourh)

    Optic for RECCE style rifle?

    I use a Leupold VX-R Patrol on my Daniel Defense V7. I also tried a Vortex PST 1-4, but ultimately stuck with the Leupold as I primarily use this rifle for 3 Gun, and the Leupold reticle works better for speed. If I was aiming more for precision, the Vortex would definitely have gotten the nod.

    Source for Nylon and Velcro?

    There is a company that produces tarps out of 1000D Cordura and they sell their end cuts on eBay. You can typically get a good sized box (10-20 lbs) for pretty cheap, and the cuts are pretty big, especially if you're just making pouches.

    Help with Police SNiper rifle trigger

    We put Timney's in our rifles last year. I've seen two of the old Remington triggers detonate rounds while no one was touching the trigger twice now, both in "hard use" LE sniper courses... The most recent incident was last week, and I was directly next to the guy and the rifle that it happened to.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Old 700 PSS that I picked up on consignment for $500. Chopped to 16" and put it in a McRee Compact Folder. Shortly thereafter I didn't feel much need for my other bolt guns.

    Forming 260 brass from 308... Is neck turning a must?

    How big of an issue is that? Most of the dozen or so cases I measured were running close to 2.025, which is above the minimum trim length in my manuals. These will be running out of a Shilen barreled 700 and possibly a Tikka T3 Sporter if I'm a good boy.

    Forming 260 brass from 308... Is neck turning a must?

    I measured a few and it looks like my formed cases are running about .295" while loaded Copper Creek rounds are running .290". I'm loading my Sinclair Intl cart now with trimming gear.
