    Suppressors Great Day Shooting With New Thunderbeast 30BA

    Same basic story here, albeit my TBAC suppressor is a 30P-1. Had it out yesterday on my 5R .308 for the first time and noticed no change in POI or group size.

    My 5r customized by S.A.C.

    Thanks. Looks like yours fits you pretty well without the adjustable stock. It does add a bit of weight and cost more, but the rifle balances nicely with it. Here's a 5-shot, 100-yard group I shot with it last week... Seems I always manage to have one not cooperate. :rolleyes: I can't...

    My 5r customized by S.A.C.

    Hey WVshooter, I have a 5r also that I had Mark at SAC do a little work on over this past winter. Very similar to yours: install bolt knob, thread muzzle 5/8-24 for a TBAC 30-P1, install thread protector (I kept the barrel length @ 24"), trigger job, & cerakote. I've had mine out to 800 so...

    Rifle Scopes MOAR vs MOAR-T

    I've compared them side by side at a show earlier in the year. It all comes down to primary purpose and preference, imo. The MOAR-T would be my choice if mainly target shooting, the MOAR if primarily hunting or shooting against varying background, brush, etc. The MOAR-T reticle can get lost...

    Gunsmithing Relatively quick, quality, trustworthy, smith to cut/thread/crown?

    Mark at Short Action Customs did a great job with similar work on my 700. Turnaround was 2 weeks. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 1-4x24 pst viper

    Eh, I'm near Harrisburg; a bit far. FWIW, I agree with the others that the reticle is pretty thin. It really would be best if you could look thru one before you buy. Good luck with your purchase.

    Rifle Scopes Is this a good deal on a NF 3.5-15x50 NSX?

    Rifle Scopes Is this a good deal on a NF 3.5-15x50 NSX?

    Just an update to my earlier reply. My scope was delivered Tuesday. Still waiting for the Tenebraex covers, so the NF bikinis will do for now. Mounted it up last evening & planning to go shoot this weekend. It's going to be like a totally different rifle with the stock and scope upgrades...

    Feedback on Manners T4A with Badger Mini Chassis

    I just picked up a Manners T4A Mini-Chassis for my 5R , as well. Haven't had it out yet, but plan to this weekend. I think you'll love it!

    Rifle Scopes Is this a good deal on a NF 3.5-15x50 NSX?

    I put an order in for one of these a couple weeks ago when I made a road trip to Eurooptic to look at Manners stocks. After I'd made up my mind on what stock I wanted and paid for it, the sales guy (Jason) and I were talking a bit and he mentioned that they (Eurootic) had these coming in and...

    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce M.O.A.R. "T" reticle

    I had a chance today to compare the MOAR and MOAR-T side by side (indoors). The "T" is noticeably thinner, and I did find myself losing it when looking into the dark upper corners of the large building I was in. Turning on the illumination seemed to solve that however, so maybe not so big an...

    Remington 700 5R .308 milspec HORRIBLE ACCURACY!!!!!

    Ditto on checking reassembly/torque values/scope mounting/etc. and running some different ammo through it. I'm getting .4-.6 with my all stock 5R using Black Hills 175's, but that doesn't mean your gun will like BH. Gotta find what your gun likes.

    Best Rifle and Optic Combo for $2500?

    That's pretty much the direction I've taken, although I went with a 12x fixed SS scope. The entire rig, including base, rings, bipod, stock pack, and sling came in under $2K. I do hope to snag a NF at some point, but the SS is just fine for the time being.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Fixed Magnification

    I'll echo the positive comments already posted. I opted for a 12x and am very happy with it. I hope to upgrade to a NF, probably in 2014, but my SS has worked out really well and I don't think you can go wrong with one for the $.

    PTG stealth bottom metal $75.00

    This may be just what I'm looking for. A true "drop-in" DBM for my 5R. :) Tag for updates.

    Rifle Scopes Scope for R700 Tactical, $2500 budget

    Lots of great advice here, and I was in a similar place as you a couple months ago. I have a Rem 5R in .308 and ended up going with a 12x42SS to get up and running. I do plan to go with, most likely, a NF at some point, but I'm happy with the SS so far. If you're willing to scratch the "deer...
