    Kestrel wind meters

    Re: Kestrel wind meters Can you explain a little more about the new Kestrel coming out. What do you mean by a pda and software. Do you mean the kestrel and software and pda will be one handheld device? I won't need my iphone with my JBL software? How would I get in touch with Monica at...

    Suppressors barrel threading for new suppressor

    Re: barrel threading for new suppressor thanks guys. I have a YHM with QD now on two AR's. It has worked great. I have a gemtech that threads on the barrel of my walther pistol and has been good. No problems with either ever. AI International is in the process of having SAS make their cans...

    Suppressors barrel threading for new suppressor

    I am deciding which suppressor I want to add to my new AI 308 that has a 19 inch fluted barrel and am leaning towards the Shark. I will need to have the barrel threaded. Mile High Shooting has suggested that I can send the rifle to VIrginia to have the barrel threaded. Should I wait to take...

    Range Report developing 308 ballistic tables for new rifle

    I would like some advice on what I may need to consider (variables and procedures) to develop my new ballistic tables for a new AIAW 308 with a 20 inch barrel with a S&B 5x25. I do not handload. I have started shooting it with Black Hills 175 gr BTHP moly's. I have a 200 yd zero and use my i...

    Kestrel wind meters

    How many of you are using a hand held wind meter such as a kestrel and then inputting the data into your iphone for your ballistic program or are you just estimating wind speed and crosswind component for the first shot then correcting after? Thanks Gary

    308 at 1000

    Re: 308 at 1000 I am new to shooting 7.62 and have a new rifle coming an a week or so. It is an AI AW with a 20 inch barrel. I do not reload anymore so I plan to shoot factory ammo. I now have some Fiocchi 150 gr. SST which are like a ballistic tip. I am using a BC of .415 with a muzzle...

    AR (308) Gas or Piston? Which builders

    I have been reading about the LWRC which is piston and seems to be built well. I also like what I have been reading about LMT which is gas driven. The Knight Armament I hear is nice also but maybe not worth what they want for it. I also read good things about Noveske with them using a lower from...

    (.308) LWRC vs LaRue vs LMT

    Re: (.308) LWRC vs LaRue vs LMT What about Noveske? He is supposed to build a very accurate upper on either a Vltor lower or a LMT lower. I am not sure of the wait though. From what I have researched you could build a very high quality gun that is sub moa. Gary

    Does anyone here not reload?

    Re: Does anyone here not reload? Hi Holdem: I have done both over the past 30 years. I shoot competitive shotguns in all 4 guages and for the first 15 years reloaded all 4 guages with hydrualic automatic machines. I also shot competitive pistol and hunted and reloaded both. It was cheaper...

    Problem with mounting scope on AR

    Re: Problem with mounting scope on AR I plink with it at a 600 yd range:) I know it is over scoped, but I love the magnification and the reticle. My intentions were to eventually move the scope onto a 308 or 338LM next year. AI is the mount carried by Euro optics which Alex stated was the...

    Problem with mounting scope on AR

    I have been trying to mount my new S&B 5x25x56 on my flat top Predator AR and am having trouble with the scope mount. I first tried an AI one piece mount with 34mm rings and 28 MOA built into it. The scope did not sit on the rings. The middle of the scope (turret area) bottoms out on the mount...

    Rifle Scopes 45 moa base on S&B

    Re: 45 moa base on S&B Alex at europtic.com has a very nice one piece mount from AI. It has 45 moa and is specifically for the S&B. I installed both of these last week that I obtained from him. He is located in the U.S. Gary

    Rifle Scopes Who makes the best spotting scope?

    Re: Who makes the best spotting scope? Check out the Kowa TSN 883 which is the larger Fluorite lens. That with a 20x60 zoom eye piece. One of the finest setups available.

    Anyone heard of Van Dyke Rifles

    Has anyone seen any of the custom rifles built by Van Dyke? I would like to build a new bolt action 308 or 338 and was considering GAP but am concerned with the extended wait time. I recently heard of rifles by Van Dyke which am told are of equal build quality and accuracy. Anyone have any...

    Rifle Scopes scope mounting

    I am mounting a new scope on my AR flat top receiver and need some advice. It is a S&B 5x25x56 with an AI one piece mount with 24MOA built into it. There are no markings on the mount as to front or back. I am assuming that the torq heads go to the right and that the one lug that is on the...

    Fieldcraft Anyone know of some good books?

    Re: Anyone know of some good books? Check out Stephen Leather. There are about 8 fiction books he as written. All well done. I see them in Asia but don't see them often in the book stores so you might have to order them. Chosen Soldier was ok by Couch. Horse Soldier was better. I liked...

    Rifle Scopes first S&B range report

    Re: first S&B range report Thanks for the correction guys. I appreciate it. I read that there is a good ballistic program for my i phone "ballistic-field tactical edition" and "Windspeed" that I can download and I will then have my yardage drop converted to both Mil's and MOA's and have the...

    Rifle Scopes first S&B range report

    Re: first S&B range report I have a 5x25x56 Gen II XR reticle shipping tomorrow from Alex. My only disappointment was that I wanted a Mil turret to match the Mil reticle but the scope came with MOA turrets and he will not have one with matching MIl turrets for at least 6 months so I caved in...

    Rifle Scopes More ideas for an Ideal sniper/markmans scopemount

    Re: More ideas for an Ideal sniper/markmans scopem Very nice design Spuhr. As long as it holds up I think you have a winner. From what I can see on these posts and web site alone, you could probably sell 100 to 300 units. Why bother with a distributor at this point. Why not go into small...
