    Sling for 18" SPR

    Could go the DIY route. During an exhaustive search for a sling for my SPR, I came across a sling kit from the online store Strapworks.com: strapworks.com The kit was almost what I was looking for, but lacked the sewn in QD sling swivels I wanted. Looking around on their site, I realized that I...

    MK12 MOD-0 LETS SEE EM!

    No issues with the A.R.M.S #22 rings on my rifle. I'm using the newer ones with the LII levers. I've had the scope on and off the rifle probably 30-40 times and have never lost zero, maybe I'm not doing it right...... I actually prefer the ARMS method of locking up over LaRue's system due to...

    Which .308 Bullets for 1,000 yds in a 20 inch AR-10 will work best???????????

    After try out a lot of combinations using a variety of bullets and powder, I found a pretty good recipe for getting hits on steel at 1000 yards using a 16" 308 AR. Heavier bullets seem to be the way to go out of shorter barrels from my experience. My current load is a Nosler or Sierra 190...

    REM700 .308 w/ 16" barrel....need educated opinions...

    1000 yards can be done with a 16" barrel 308, but not with PRVI 175 grain ammo. Their 175 FMJBT has some consistency issues and doesn't group for shit. Out of a short barrel, the velocity isn't going to be there to get the lighter bullets out to 1000. You need to anticipate the bullet going...

    Black Hole Weaponry Barrel Review - 308 Build

    My take-away from reading that article was that the tighter twist rate barrels impart a greater amount of gyroscopic stability on the bullet for a given muzzle velocity. The tighter twist may in fact lead to a slightly slower muzzle velocity, but the bullet will have greater stability to...

    Black Hole Weaponry Barrel Review - 308 Build

    I've been using one of the 16" Rainier Select barrels on a 308 build for about a year now. I tend to run heavier bullets with the 308, and have found that the 1:11 twist on the Rainier (made by Black Hole Weaponry) is able to stabilize up to 190 grains at least. Accuracy at 100 yards is not...

    18" SPR Barrel Choice

    The brake is actually a ported stainless shroud that covers a standard Ops Inc 12th brake. Being in CA, the actual 12th can is not an option, but I did want something to mitigate the amount of dust kicked up by the brake. The shroud redirects the muzzle blast to keep it from hitting the ground...

    18" SPR Barrel Choice

    I'm pretty sure Black Hole does their own rifling in house. Black Hole barrels are also sold under a few other brand names as well. The Rainier Select grade barrels and Parallax Tactical PXT barrels are made by BHW. Addax tactical also sells barrels made by BHW. I've run BHW barrels on a few...

    Muzzlebrake ineffectiveness?

    Powder burn rate also plays into it. Longer barrels that burn off most of the powder before the bullet leaves the muzzle will benefit less than shorter barreled rifles that have a higher volume of gas out of the muzzle to work with.

    Choate stock

    I'm running the Choate Tactical stock on my 300 Win Mag below. It was already opened up for a stock Remington floorplate, but I had to so some minor inletting with a 5/8" endmill for the M-5 Stealth/PTG bottom metal. If inletting on a blind magazine stock like the Ultimate Sniper or Varmint, I...

    18" SPR Barrel Choice

    Bergara isn't too bad for one of the cheaper SPR barrels available. I've been pretty impressed by mine so far. It typically shoots around 1/2 to 3/4 moa. What I like most about it is that it holds accuracy extremely well as it heats up. Even after long strings of fire without cool down, it...

    300 WIN MAG RIFLES with short barrels. Lets See Them

    Thanks guys. The paint is Desert Mirage Brown duracoat on all the metal parts. The stock was done with a base coat that was a 50/50 mix of desert mirage brown and flat dark earth. After the base coat was done I used a brush to add the pattern of desert mirage brown. I used a Q-tip to blend...

    MK12 MOD-0 LETS SEE EM!

    I didn't have any issues with duracoating the sights. I was kind of worried about the coating making the sights hard to flip up, but it goes on thin enough that it doesn't seem to impair function at all. Cerekote goes on even thinner from what I've read, although I haven't had a chance to use...

    MK12 MOD-0 LETS SEE EM!

    Time to drag this thread back from the dead. This is what happens when you have lots of spare time, leftover duracoat, and not enough ammo to go shooting with: It seems duracoat goes on a bit glossy when applied by hand with brushes and Q-tips. I'm thinking it may need a topcoat of...

    Remington 700 300WM help

    Only way to tell for sure is to take it out and shoot it. FWIW, I also just had a 300 Win Mag cut down to 20". My plan is to load it up with the heavier 225 BTHP's from Hornady. The heavier bullet should allow for a more complete burn within the barrel. I'm hoping for around 2700 FPS using...

    300 WIN MAG RIFLES with short barrels. Lets See Them

    I'm still waiting on some parts to come in, but here it is for now. Please excuse the crappy cell phone pic. My wife left my good camera at Legoland.... I'm not running the Ops Inc brake at the moment, but the collar is in place for when I move out of CA and can get a 12th model can for it. I...

    300 WIN MAG RIFLES with short barrels. Lets See Them

    I'm currently in the process of having my 26" Sendero chopped down to 20" and threaded for an Ops Inc. brake. I'll post pics as soon as I have anything worth showing. My barreled action is still at the shop.
