    Rifle Scopes LVPO question

    I recently picked up a XTRII 1-8x with the ballistic circle dot reticle from Camera Land for $750. I had read Ilya's review where he put it as the best LPVO in the $1000 range, and even mentioned it as a great optic sub-$2000. So when I saw it on sale for $750 I felt like I couldn't go wrong...

    Bighorn extractor removal

    Yeah, $15 does seem high for shipping though, maybe offer to send them a prepaid USPS priority label? On the plus side, you're getting your top-notch custom action back in working order for $35 bucks and minimal downtime, so it shouldn't be too hard a pill to swallow.

    The departure from "just another action company" ARC's new rifle:

    I don't want to get caught up in this battle of form vs. function, but I think most people on these forums understand the two are NOT mutually exclusive. I have yet to buy anything "precision rifle" related where I had to sacrifice form/aesthetics in order to get a high-quality/functional item...

    Rifle Scopes $1000 scope to shoot 1000 yards need help

    I have a DMR2 and would also recommend it. But you could also look at the Burris XTRII, in either 4-20x or 5-25x.

    Gap production rifle 6gt. Talk me out of it.

    Ironically, these "talk me out of XX" threads are usually more like "validate my decision" threads lol. Trying to remember the last one where the OP was actually talked out of doing what they had already made up their mind for. Meaning no offense to the OP here of course, most of us are guilty...

    Anybody else hate the gym?

    I rent an apartment so I don't have the option of putting in a nice home gym, but I think when I am a homeowner it will definitely be something I look into. That said, even though I don't have a "gym" at home, I have done plenty of home-workouts (bodyweight/limited equipment) and I do find that...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone running scalarworks on a bolt gun?

    Don't see a reason you couldn't run it on a bolt gun. I'm considering picking one up for a LPVO on a 18" AR, but they aren't cheap. There are many quality options (rings and 1-piece) well under the price point of the Scalarworks LEAP. It also only has one height option and it's relatively...

    Budget chassis: KRG or another?

    The base Bravo is probably the best bet at that price range... but if you are really planning to dress it up with all of the accessories you are basically going to be pushing into MPA/Whiskey3 or McMillan/Manners Adj. Stock territory.

    MPA action screws loosening ...

    Clean the screw threads with a cloth/paper towel. Take a look at the action's threaded holes and those should be relatively clean too. Put a small drop of blue loctite on the screw threads and torque to spec. Let the loctite cure overnight, a few days will be even better.

    Which M-lok grip panel is that on your handguard?

    First custom and need some advice

    I run a Bighorn (now just Zermatt Arms) TL3, and MANY others on here do as well. That said, you can see that with just the limited responses you've received so far that there are countless options to fulfill what you are looking for. Do yourself a favor and take a look at the Kelbly's Atlas...

    LongSwords flying out tonight.

    If you can shoot 18 groups with .338LM, from 6 different rifles, using factory ammo, and average .395" across all the groups... I think you're a better shot than you're giving yourself credit for. Amazing looking rifles, and awesome to read some of the specifics on how you track your builds and...

    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    Don't get me wrong; I have no problem with small, indenpend Don't get me wrong; I completely understand the difficulties that are present with a small, independently owned business, and I have no qualms with ARC or anything of the sort. My particular statement was more directed towards those...

    HEADS UP: Check the seals of all containers on food products that you purchase

    Making me really question the shit that I just eat without thinking. Fucking gross, I hate people.

    HEADS UP: Check the seals of all containers on food products that you purchase

    Not even to mention how it effects our environment because now food manufacturers are going to put more and more plastic into their packaging..

    Mechanical extractor vs M16 /spring type

    What's making you want to switch from the Kelbly's Tactical? I love my TL3, but my buddy's Kelbly's feels smoother and has a nicer bolt lift imo. I do like the "bayonet" firing pin assembly of the TL3 and the swap-able bolt heads, but I don't swap calibers so I haven't really taken advantage...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    This is what forums like this are for. Over a year ago, BEFORE PVA even started with Origin/Nucleus pre-orders, JHR production rifles, black friday barrel deals, tripods, reloading dies, etc, there were quite a few reports of inaccurate lead time estimation and customers complaining of poor...
