    Rainier Match vs Rainier Select

    Looking to grab a 308 16" mid-length barrel. This is going to be a battle rifle more than a long range rifle, but I would like to get less than 1" groups. Initially I was planning on grabbing the Rainier Select barrel because its cheaper, lighter, and comes in black, but then I realized that the...

    'Budget' 308 carbine build suggestions

    How was the accuracy of your setup? My sets shipped about 4 days after I ordered. They had just finished up a sale so I thought it was pretty reasonable. I also got a small frame set to build an SBR with at some point soon.

    'Budget' 308 carbine build suggestions

    I believe thats their 223 version. I'm doing the same one, but for 308. My only concern in the barrel nut, and if having the rail squeezing it will cause accuracy issues. Anybody have experience with this? Looking for 1" at 100 yards. Not so much worried about the accuracy as the 16" barrel. I...

    'Budget' 308 carbine build suggestions

    I though about going this route several times, but I always end up building myself so that 1. I can get everything I want first time around, no need to upgrade parts later and 2. I just don't like the way there uppers look, and really prefer 7075 T6 aluminum. I know it probably doesn't matter...

    'Budget' 308 carbine build suggestions

    Oh I guess I'm an idiot. When they say 4-5.5 lbs, they just mean that the actual pull will be somewhere in there and not that its adjustable between those values? Perfect.

    'Budget' 308 carbine build suggestions

    I really like that handguard, will have to look into it more. I wonder how long their introductory pricing will last? As for the trigger, my only issue is I really want a fixed weight trigger. Is there something in a similar price you would recommend? I understand (and appreciate) your...

    'Budget' 308 carbine build suggestions

    Been away from the hide all summer doing a summer fellowship. While this means I haven't shot a gun in over 2 months, it *does* mean I have some spare change. I toyed around with the idea of building an SPR or something in 6mmAR, but when I saw that Aero Precision had a 308 DPMS patter receiver...

    6x45mm vs 6.5 Grendel

    I looked at this as well but didn't think you could load em to mag length. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    JP Enhanced Bolt benifits?

    Figure this would come out a few months after I finished my build! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Was hoping you could share some of that cheap VV with us!

    VV? Cheap? Are we thinking on the same VV? Also I would hardly call Finland eastern Europe. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    OCW with 260 gasser

    Just finished building this gun a few weeks ago. For initial testing I just loaded up 40 gr of Rl-17 and 123 scenar. It shot real good, my friend and more experienced shooter was able to get under 1/2 inch. Decided to load a OCW up since velocities around 2670 weren't doing it for me. Here are...

    pictanny rail 0moa, 20 moa,30moa ?

    With that 7mm you might be sending em far. Unless there is some disadvantage to using the 30 MOA base (I've not come across one) why not use that? I wish i had on my 300 win mag.

    Bullet choice for .223

    I would buy a few boxes of several different bullets and see what shoots good. Be a shame to have 1k rounds that don't shoot. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    What causes lateral shots

    Generally when I shoot horizontal I blame myself. I let my buddy shoot my rifle (same ammo) and there was much less. If you're shooting 0.6" groups I wouldn't sweat it too much. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Promag stock for M14

    I've heard these are a bitch and a half to put together. Definitely not going to drop in like most bolt action chassis systems. I'm no expert but I researched it when I was considering an M1A. Suffice to say I own a large frame AR instead. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Heavy buffer tearing up brass?

    I have one and the gas is turned way down. Those marks are formed when the bolt drops. If I eject an unfired round the marks are still present.

    Frankfort Arsenal Rotary tumbler.

    If this works well it will be a great alternative to 300 dollar rotary tumblers.
