    I'm afraid to test mine to see if I need me ones also 😂

    M40A5 clone question: machined-in pillars or bed pillars?

    They did not use mcmillan built in pillars. They bedded the ones with the badger dbm.

    And so it begins...

    We have about a 50/50 split of 6mm and 25/6.5 guys. Doesn't seem to make a difference, top guys running both calibers. If you want 6mm and barrel life get a dasher, GT or 6.5. I don't know anyone running 6arc seriously for prs.

    Leupold spotting scope

    12-40. I'm in eastern NC and it can get really soupy. I'm usually 12-20x.

    Leupold spotting scope

    Yup. NF price is $300 more for the same scope with just a horus reticle. I have had a mk4 with tmr reticle a few years now and love it. For prs and minor corrections it does its job great. If you will be actively calling out corrections that need to be accurate then I'd get a horus reticle...

    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    Couple of smiths have the prints. I think Manzella is a popular one. PVA if I'm not mistaken does AI barrels. Just call them up and tell them what you want. It's no different than any other gun minus the tenon threads. Should run you 800-1000 including the blank.

    M40A1 USMC spec clip slot drawing.

    And there you go. Mark wasn't leading me astray 😂

    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    While I feel my Atacr 5-25 is close if not even with my s&b 3-20 glass wise, the NF is more touchy than the s&b with parallax adjustment. I find no issue using either in match or hunting settings.

    M40A1 USMC spec clip slot drawing.

    I was told by a reputable builder a lot of us here had work done with, that the thumb scallop was done with the action on its side and NOT done with a ball nose end mill. Not sure if @cplnorton or someone else can confirm but that piece of information was shared with me.

    I really liked sage green but honestly any AI color I've seen is nice. If it's setup how you like do it.

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    It would be interesting to see. Cost of 3 boxes of ammo to test. Its possible whoever chambered the gun used a reamer with a really loose neck or one that was out of spec. Even my suppressed rounds I've popped primers in don't show that much fouling on the necks.

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    Is it me or is that an excessive amount of fouling on the necks? I'm betting it builds up at the neck and causes your pressure to increase. Does it even seem like it's harder to chamber the closer to 40rds you get?

    I'm near convinced I could throw anything into a 6.5x47 case and it would give me results i could compete with.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    It does well enough. I'd probably do a dasher or GT if I had to do it over again. They just seem easier to load for. My buddy had a 6x47 reamer and I had a bunch of 6.5x47 brass so it was easy to do. I was thinking it would be as easy to setup as my 6.5x47 (my favorite round) but it isn't. Not...

    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    Only failures I've seen in AI have been from competition triggers or people running a BR cartridge without a mag kit and getting feeding issues. As mentioned both are good. If you don't like the AI chassis then no downside to a surgeon or similar premium action. I've owned and still own...

    @diggler1833 nice rifle and really nice shooting. You may have posted it before but what color is that?

    TRG appreciation thread - Part III

    The 3-20 is also an excellent optic. I prefer it over the 5-25. Just wish mine had a gen2xr or T3. She has the T2 in it. (it doesn't live on a 22lr...). No illumination wouldn't put me off of a 4-16, only time I've ever used it has been hunting and I didn't "need" it.

    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    If you have an itch to buy an AI then buy it. It won't go away. I played with a hammerhead and didn't think it offered anything over an impact, especially for the price increase. As mentioned you will get an AI and that's what you will get long term. The 700 based rifles you can do...

    TRG appreciation thread - Part III

    @DKN83 the 3-12 is my gold standard optic. The glass is excellent and has the most forgiving parallax out of any scope I've used. Really hoping to get my hands on a 4-16 one day.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Also have to remember what we consider effective and what the military considers effective are very different. I've had my A5 out to 1200 yards hitting targets but the mil i believe says it's effective range is 800 or 900 yards. Similarly I believe they state the 300wm is a 1300 yard gun...
