    School me on a 6.5 creedmore in a JP rifle

    The JP LRP-07 is available in both 260 and 6.5 Creedmoor. Either caliber works fine in the platform. The main advantage of the 6.5 Creedmoor is that factory ammo is more readily available vs 260. A non-issue if you reload.

    JP LRP-07 vs what?

    Other than a few minor updates LRP-07 is basically unchanged since it's introduction several years ago. Fairly recently, JP introduced a newly designed large platform rifle, the PSC-12. It has both the traditional charging handle as well as the side charging system (dual system). The PSC-12 is...

    Rifle Scopes Let's talk about objective bell sizes

    These "best scope" threads tend to thrash around with lots of good information but never seem get anywhere unless the OP's purpose for the rifle is clear. Had no idea until this post that 3-gun competition was a consideration. Read through the thread a couple of times, forgive me if you...

    Rifle Scopes Recommend lightweight optic for Scar 17

    A buddy had a March1-8x at the range the other day. 1x was actually .75x - definitely smaller than 1x on the lowest magnification setting. Do you guys notice the same thing?

    Wanting to attach my AR308 with a tripod?

    Manfrotto or PRS (Slik) tripods work well. There are several ways to attach/mount the rifle to the tripod. See below for info and ideas. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=67aVxXVIC8Y http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-stupid-marksmanship-questions/152336-shooting-off-tripod.html...

    Rangefinder and Binocular combo, any ideas?

    If you want to reliably and consistently range 1-2 moa target size objects out to a mile, get a Vectronix PLRF 10 I have the Leica Geovids and have used the Bushnell fusions. You may get lucky with an accurate reading every now and then beyond 800-900yds but if you're looking for reliability...

    Where to post?

    Data on the guns or data on the ammo and reloads for the guns? If guns, maybe the Vintage Sniper Rifles forum? :)

    LRP-07 inconsistent accuracy

    Hey Buck Rogers, Thank you for your thoughtful contribution to this thread. This whole discussion has been with regard to the OP's issues with his large platform AR. Nothing at all to do with your Les Bear and 77gr SMK load. When school starts back again, please let your teacher know you...

    Primers for an auto loader .....question.

    Congrats on the new stick! FWIW, I've used just about every large rifle primer out there for many thousands of 308 and 260 Rem gas gun loads. Never a slam fire or problem of any sort with any of them in six different rifles including JP, Armalites, SR 25 and OBR. Small base FL die may not be...

    Rifle Scopes Recommend lightweight optic for Scar 17

    How far out do you plan to shoot the new rifle? Also, do you have a budget you're working within? Low power variables definitely give you the greatest versatility, particularly the type with a daytime visible illuminated dot. They're just like an Aimpoint on 1x and you have 4-6x for longer...

    LRP-07 inconsistent accuracy

    It sure can! Don't sweat it brother. Even the very best shooters deal with the issue to a greater or lesser extent. In addition to the recoil that is present with a bolt rifle, you have that big, heavy bolt slamming in and out of battery to deal with. And yes, it's a much bigger issue with the...

    LRP-07 inconsistent accuracy

    That's torque for the ring attachment to the base. The specs I've seen from most ring and scope companies is 15-18 inch pounds of torque for the caps that attach the scope to the rings. Most people tend to considerably over tighten the cap screws.

    Recommendations for a duty AR-10

    You don't specify if "your team" is military or law enforcement. Assume law enforcement. Based on this description above, the JP LRP07 would be a good choice. If you call them up, they'll be able to refer you to departments that have used them for years with good results.

    LRP-07 inconsistent accuracy

    Very well put! Even the highest quality large platform gas rifles are challenging to shoot to their max accuracy capability on a consistent basis. There are a lot of things that are going on with the recoil impulse (vs bolt) and if you're not at the top of your game re fundamentals, it's very...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-20x50 PM II Ultra Short / first-hand experience anyone?

    Get one brother! I'd love to see and fondle one, my curiosity is definitely aroused. When you experience things first hand, it sometimes helps understand cost vs benefit. You know I'm a dedicated S&B user. Hopefully I'll have this cast off my ankle in another week or so and will be back out...
