    Range Report Ballistic AE help... Variable Coefficients?

    I hope I'm posting this in right forum. I'm confused about variable coefficients on Ballistic AE app for iPhone. I'm running 27 gn Varget behind a 55 gn Sierra HPBT, MV 3200 fps. The coefficient for that bullet states "variable" for that bullet when I select it from the list, whereas on say the...

    Accuracy Question, 700 Tactical .223 with M223

    I've kinda been in the same boat you are, I want more outta the gun, but I'm hesitant to drop and more money in it, it all adds up over time and then you look back and think "damn I could've built a nice rifle for that kind of money".

    Accuracy Question, 700 Tactical .223 with M223

    I have the same gun in a HS Precision stock, I get very good .5 MOA and better groups with Varget behind 55 gn Sierra's. The problem is that that rifle has a 1:9 twist and doesn't like my heavier hand loads, which would be required I think for F/TR. Now, would I spend GAP money to redo a .223...

    Rem700 5R?

    Yeah, your comments really hurt my feelings... Are you serious? Now, had I said "Look guys, I just purchased a Remington 5R with a M24 barrel", then maybe your comment would have made a little more sense. That being said, I believe it goes more like "take the sand out if your clit". At least...

    Rem700 5R?

    Agreed. What bothers me though is that it looks like I'm not the only one that was told this. Just like many other companies, Remington is not what they used to be. Just go Academy or any other large retail and look at that shit they put out on the shelves. I know it's basic marketing, try to...

    Rem700 5R?

    After talking with Ajax2112, he was right. Nevertheless, this is what I was told by Remington. However, I appreciate your smartass comment, it really was beneficial to this conversation.

    .308 1-11 twist?

    Yeah, I bet the 1:11 be just fine.

    .308 1-11 twist?

    I had the same question... Why there 1:10 and 1:12, but the 11 is 1:11.25. I was told that it was to keep the 175+ gn bullets supersonic past 1000 yds. Now that being said, I know lots of people that shoot 1:10 at 1000, and lots of people that their 1:12 will stabilize the 175's just fine. I...

    Rifle Scopes Us optics

    What separates USO from everyone else is that they are a true custom scope manufacturer. They will build it however you like it. I would suspect there are lots of MOA/Mil scopes in use.

    Rem700 5R?

    That's what I was told by a representative from Remington. You could be correct, if that's the case then Remington needs to tell their customers the truth.

    Rem700 5R?

    The Remington 5R rifles are built using extra barrels left over after they fill the M24 contracts. That's why they don't advertise them because they aren't always available. Now, what I'm not sure about is whether or not they are just using extra barrels, or if some of the barrels didn't meet...

    Rifle Scopes Spray the Optic?

    I use the shit out of Coban in the hospital, I've never once thought to use in on a rifle/optic, and I don't know why because it's an excellent idea. It's not sticky and won't leave any residue while offering superb protection, and it'll look cool too. You just have to decide whether or not...

    Rifle Scopes Spray the Optic?

    Last week I spent about 3 hours removing Krylon from a BSA scope (don't ask why I spent so much time on a BSA), anyways, it cleaned up a little better than I thought, but up close you can definitely tell. I would take the advise from the above postings. Besides, regardless of the rifle color...

    Midrange priced rifles....?

    Midrange priced rifles....? I know some places sell "short chambered" pre threaded barrels. You just screw it in and finish it with a hand driven finish reamer, checking it slowly with go and no-go gauges. Has anyone done this?

    Rifle Scopes Need opinions on which set up to go with on SPS-V

    I'ts been a long time since I looked through a Mk4, but I got a Vortex Viper HS-LR 4-16x for my girlfriends 700 SPS .223. I took the Vortex off and plan on taking it back but just because it's too much scope for her. The glass on it was blazing and the turrets felt good. Although it wasn't...

    a5 ish stock for AI AE?

    The AE is bolted in, the AW is bedded/bonded. This thread has me interested in that I too have looked at the AI AE/AW but I don't want to drop that kind of money and be stuck with that stock.

    Midrange priced rifles....?

    Ok, after doing countless hours of research and reading these threads, is there anyone that builds good rifles around the 2k range? From what I've gathered there is a big grey area that I don't see anyone talking about between a factory Remmy and the 4k custom builds. I am a firm believer in...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield USMC

    A badger detachable mag floor plate is more functional, an adjustable stock is more functional, as well as a hundred other options. Would you put them on a M40 clone, no you would not. They dropped the ball on this one and frankly I'm quite dissapointed. It's not like they didn't do their...
