    Question - Bartlein 400MOD Experience 18 Months After Launch

    Thank you. The information I have is that the early barrels were definitely harder. I'm asking about the more recent 400 MOD barrel experience, say past 9 months or less, by shooters who have sent enough rounds over that period to burn out a standard 416 barrel. Do you know when Greg...

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    I have one and love it. It doesn't give velocity vs distance like some, but it is so small and so easy to use I end up using it almost every time I go to the range so I get more complete data vs conditions. It literally fits in a jacket pocket. Just pull it out, set it near the muzzle, turn...

    Question - Bartlein 400MOD Experience 18 Months After Launch

    Thanks and understood. I'm asking for real, unaffiliated, end user experience because I have also heard similar reports to those you cite. I only know a couple of people who have tried MOD and shoot enough to burn barrels out quickly. Hoping to get a better/larger data sample.

    Suppressors Help Me Choose My Next Can.

    haven’t tried the DD cans and don’t know anyone who has. Like I said, my experience is the sparks go away after a while but can come back for a bit after cleaning. If you really want to shoot at night and not be seen don’t mess with Ti coating, go for a steel can that has an excellent flash...

    Suppressors Help Me Choose My Next Can.

    My $0.02. I prefer Ti for weight and depending on the model it's usually fine for most firing schedules unless you are a really fast, sustained CQC/3-gun type shooter or have an auto. The sparks go away after a few hundred rounds, but can come back for a while after cleaning, so that is...

    Question - Bartlein 400MOD Experience 18 Months After Launch

    Thanks. For sure your first one would be in the timeframe where I am hearing about the harder material. Not sure about your second one.

    Question - Bartlein 400MOD Experience 18 Months After Launch

    Looking for real world experience from end users regarding barrel life of Bartlein 400MOD barrels. I am considering this material to extend barrel life on some new builds in 6.5mm and 6mm. I am hearing from a couple of knowledgable sources that the original production runs clearly had harder...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex GEN 3 Razor Price increase.

    Vortex needs to be careful. They have a winning price/performance recipe with the Gen 3 6-36 that is working. If they are just pushing up MSRP and plan on leaving MAP alone for marketing purposes, that is one thing, but not sure why they would do it other than to make someone not paying...

    New Burris LRF integrated scope

    Yep, the problem has been poor optical quality and POA resolution. I'm guessing that the "6" will have similar optical quality to the XTR III line which I have and find acceptable. This area of electro-optical scope integration is going to grow, with this likely being the first serious...

    Low Mass Operating Systems Setup

    Thanks. Doing a fighting rifle build and had decided not to go JP LMOS due to no forward assist, but now I can check out these others.

    Low Mass Operating Systems Setup

    Is there a nice, reliable LMOS with forward assist, or are they all lacking on this?

    Question: Angular Resolution of The POA Dots On Burris Eliminator 5 and Eliminator 6

    Thanks ILya! That's fine enough resolution for almost all needs. If the Eliminator 6 has the same mil-height tree as the Eliminator 5, it will be 9 mils tall at max magnification. With a 200 yard zero that's enough to get a 6.5 CM out to 1,000 yds and a 7 PRC out to 1,200 on max mag. I...

    Question: Angular Resolution of The POA Dots On Burris Eliminator 5 and Eliminator 6

    Yeah, you're probably right. I'll give the a call. Thought someone here might know. I haven't called Burris, but it usually takes a long time on the phone with a scope company to go up the escalation ladder to get to someone who actually knows the product instead of first line people who read...

    Ballistics Comparison Chart For AR10/AR15 Cartridge and Barrel Length Options

    Great. That cartridge can be the winner if they spend the QC effort to make the bullets more consistent.

    Rifle Scopes Which Crossover Scope would you choose?

    All my crossovers are around 3-15. 3 provides enough FOV but 4 does not. 15 is sometimes low for longer shots on small targets so 3-20 would be perfect as long as optical quality is high. So far of the scopes I have tried that have more than 5x mag don’t have the optical quality and eye box...

    Ballistics Comparison Chart For AR10/AR15 Cartridge and Barrel Length Options

    Ok, good suggestion. I’ll add those cartridges and re-post. Thought about them but had already ruled them out for these builds so didn’t take the time. I agree it will be interesting to compare. I’m traveling this week so it will be a while before I can post with additional cartridges. By...

    RAZOR LHT issues?

    Zero zero issues after 2 years of use with my LHT 4.5-22x50. I agree with previous posts. Make sure the scope mount and action are all locked down. If everything checks out there, one of the great things about Vortex is no questions asked warranty. Send it back with a description of what’s...

    Question: Angular Resolution of The POA Dots On Burris Eliminator 5 and Eliminator 6

    Does anyone know the angular resolution (spacing in mils or moa) between two adjacent firing solution red-dots that display the point of aim (poa) on the vertical crosshair for the Burris Eliminator 5 5-20x50 and/or soon to be released Burris Eliminator 6 4-20x52 LRF scopes? To put it another...

    Ballistics Comparison Chart For AR10/AR15 Cartridge and Barrel Length Options

    I am swapping out some old 308 and 223 ARs with semi custom-builds I ordered to take advantage of the modern cartridge choices and the improved accuracy the best rifle builders are achieving. I’m excited that some of the most accurate gas guns are now getting close to the long range accuracy...
