    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR3!!!

    Looks nice. I can't wait to see the street price. I really like my XTR-II and this looks like a great step up.

    Rifle Scopes Bobro experiences need input

    My single latch Bobro is loose enough on some uppers that you can move the mount fore and aft with just hand pressure. Of course, most likely a slightly out-of-spec rail, however, without the ability to tighten the latch, it's useless on some uppers.

    Rifle Scopes anyone using ZRO Delta mounts?

    My single lever Bobro slips on some uppers. It's tight on some, but slips forward and back on others. One could argue that it's an out of spec rail, however, there is still no way to adjust tension to fix the problem. At least with LaRue and ADM you can adjust the tension as needed. I wasted a...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II anyone?

    Agreed. I like mine a lot. I picked it up used from a good friend who gave me a smoking deal on it. I really like it. The SCR Mil reticle is great. Nice and simple, thin and clean. It works great for me. My one complaint would be it has a picky eye-box for me. However, if I'm behind the rifle...

    Nucleus Orders

    Similar here. I sent in an order very late August and just got the invoice.

    ARC Nucleus w/Barloc

    The benefit from a shouldered barrel is only apparent when comparing it with barrel nut barrels like the savage pre-fit barrels linked above. To install a standard pre-fit savage (barrel nut type) barrel, you need to lock down the barrel in a good vise, spin on the action, set the headspace...

    How to determine DOPE/DATA for rifle with supressor?

    I have the sporter working with my 6.5CM rifle and 1.5" diameter silencer by setting the sensitivity to highest and using the thinnest pad. This also works for a friend of mine with a similar set up. Doesn't work with .223, but works with 6.5 and 308 (IIRC). Distance from the end cap ends up...

    Precision rifle on a progressive press

    In my case, three times. However, the first pass is just decapping before cleaning, so it's really fast, no resistance. You can run them through as fast as you can pull the handle. The reason for the multiple passes after that is that you need to clean the lube off the cases before loading and...

    Precision rifle on a progressive press

    I will try it. I haven't messed with the lanolin stuff in a while. One other thing... I added a flag to the primer tube that reminds me that I shouldn't drop powder when the shell plate is down. It raises out of the way when the ram is up. Keeps me from dumping powder all over the place. It's...

    Precision rifle on a progressive press

    I do just about exactly the same as Dai Bando does except: 1. I use a 650XL 2. I use a dedicated tool head with a universal decapping die 3. I decap before I clean. This allows the cleaning process to clean the primer pockets 4. I wet tumble to clean 5. I use imperial sizing wax rather than...

    Mount for Harris bipod on MLok handguard

    It's not really a permanent mod. You just unscrew the tension knob, remove the long pivot pin and remove the bipod from the mount. To make it faster, you would need to replace the copper colored split ring with something faster (like a loose leaf paper snap ring) taking it off the original...

    Gunsmithing Reinstalling AR barrel extension

    If you just screw the barrel back onto the extension (even when torqued correctly), the headspace will most likely be wrong and could be dangerous. Even if you get things lined up (as you said with the index pin and gas port), you would still need to check headspace as well as it may not be...

    Mount for Harris bipod on MLok handguard

    If I needed MLOK, I'd be buying this one (however, I don't have any personal experience with it, but it is Badger Ordnance) http://www.badgerordnance.com/tactical-rifle-enhancements/misc/low-profile-harris-mount-lphm-mlok.html With this one, you remove the sling swivel mount from the bipod...

    Suppressors Griffin Armament Taper Mount Cans

    I had a similar experience as the other folks here. Austin and Evan were great to deal with and I'm very happy with the product. I also love the new look with the groves at the back of the can. The first run was just the tube. No grippy groves. I purchased the RSTA on the first group buy here...
