    JP rifles supermatch barrel owners; long term durability.

    Not to be a smart ass, but if the barrel is known to shoot well and meets your weight criteria, what does it matter if it only has normal barrel life? You're not going to get CL barrel life AND the top end accuracy. If my Krieger barrel only lasted 5k rounds vs 10k,that means I spent over...

    Billet vs forged, and help me decide on a lower

    Buy whatever you think looks cooler, cause that is generally what the real world differences are. Spikes Tactical lowers can be usually had for $99 at a LGS.

    Lessons Learned from an Adjustable Gas Block on an AR308: Jamming on Extraction

    Ya, I was definitely missing that step. Either way though, through missing that step, I noticed I was able to create a problem that I had with my last MA-TEN during the break in phase. That was my point of posting this, to help anyone else identify the issue in case they were experiencing the...

    Lessons Learned from an Adjustable Gas Block on an AR308: Jamming on Extraction

    Oryx The instructions I followed for the gas block said to turn the block completely off, then gradually open it up until it fully cycles. Once I got to the point where it half cycled, lots of problems began. ORD While I agree with that statement, my experience with 3 recent MA-TEN's have been...

    Lessons Learned from an Adjustable Gas Block on an AR308: Jamming on Extraction

    This is more of an FYI, since I see this question posed a lot about 308ARs, but my previous few builds jammed when they were new (failed to eject) and required a great deal of force to unjam. I could never figure out why, although I knew it happened almost always with 147gr ammo whereas FGMM 168...

    Which Gunsmith Is Selling Trued Remington 700 Barreled Actions?

    Sorry to clog the forum up with this, but I forgot to bookmark their site. One of the SH gunsmiths has this option to purchase trued Rem 700 barreled actions. Any idea?

    whats new and exciting in the 308 AR handguard arena?

    Regarding balance on the PRI rail, I noticed a big difference with it and a m110 (1" for most of the barrel) profile 18" barrel over my previous 16" noveske barrel upper with a Rainier rail (about 18oz). Most of the PRI rail's weight is in the nut so it helps keep the balance back towards the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST alternatives

    There's a chance it might break (do a search and check out the thread a few weeks back about people griping about how many quality issues there have been). With that being said, that is a risk that is a lot easier to take if your are in the US and shipping is only $15. Outside of the US, and...

    Rifle Scopes Question for Vortex Viper PST Owners

    I've owned the 2.5-10x44 (SFP), the 2.5-10x32 (FFP), the 4-16x (SFP) and the 6-24x (SFP). Frankly, I thought all of them except the new x32 FFP were crap in the glass category. They did not compare favorably to my Nikon Monarch and were about on par with a Nikon Buckmaster. This isn't nitpicking...

    Rifle Scopes Ring and Rail Tightening Input Needed

    So, I think my MA-TEN's rail is slightly out of spec since my rings, if tightened by hand (no tools) are still loose. When hand tightening the rings onto the PRI rail that I had, they got tight with a gap for more tightening. Now, I can tighten the Rings down to correct torque specs and it...

    Rifle Scopes Which of the two would you buy? --- Monarch 3 vs. Viper (base model)

    For the price, every time I've bought something other than a Monarch, I've been disappointed. The Monarchs have very good glass and hold up well.

    Rifle Scopes Review: 2.5-10x32 Vortex Viper PST FFP

    Side by Side Comparison: Bushnell 6500 2.5-16x, USO 1.8-10x, IOR 3-18x and PST I just wanted to post a brief update since my brother and I had a chance to spend some time with four of our scopes together side by side: a USO MR-10 1.8-10x, Bushnell 6500 2.5-16x, IOR 3-18x and the Vortex...

    Muzzle breaks, crowns, accuracy, and whatnot...

    If you're going for best accuracy, it's recommended to use shims instead of crush washers since they can end up torqued unevenly.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 2.5-10x32 Parallax Under 100 Yards

    Ya, primary usage at 10 yards is dry fire. 25 yards would be off hand practice at the range. But, I agree, even if it's in focus, a 2.5x scope is pretty slow.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 2.5-10x32 Parallax Under 100 Yards

    So, my google-fu is failing me right now and I can't find an answer to this and since I'm in the middle of a move, I can't test this myself. What's the Nightforce 2.5-10x32 like at 2.5x at 25 yards and 10 yards? I practice off hand in my apt at 10 yards, and my Vortex PST is usable at this...

    Rifle Scopes Absolute Best Fixed Power Scope?

    I have a few weeks to go before I have my USO in hands, but I think it really comes down to the USO or S&B.

    MK12 MOD-0 LETS SEE EM!

    Nope, but it was shot wide open with a Canon 5D MK II with a 50mm 1.4 lens. I don't use my camera nearly as much as I should, but every time I do I'm reminded why I keep it. Even when I half-ass it like above.

    Rifle Scopes Hmmm...there's something not right with this Vortex PST

    Unfortunately, no story. I got this two months ago from SWFA and it's been to the range 3 times. Was practicing with my LaserLyte system tonight and went to dial right and no click. Took the turret off thinking the screws were not aligned or loose. Put it back on, tightened the screws. Dialing...
