    Re: FN SPR Bolt issue I had the same problems but with hot 175gr reloads. No problems like this with factory 150 and 168gr ammo. What bullet were you shooting?

    FN PBR XP poor accuracy ??????????

    Re: FN PBR XP poor accuracy ?????????? I have a PBR, and the same thing happened with 175gr pills. I switched to 168gr and it shot sub-moa groups. I think PBRs are chambered to shoot 168gr bullets.

    Pros and Cons of AI v. custom rifle using AICS?

    Re: Pros and Cons of AI v. custom rifle using AICS? The AI will have better resale value and the AI action is way smoother, changing the barrel/caliber on an AI is a very simple process. Depending on the build you are planning, the AI may be a little to a lot more expensive.

    Rifle Scopes Stripping DuraCoat off a Nightforce.

    Re: Stripping DuraCoat off a Nightforce. Duracoat isn't really as durable as the manufacturer wants you to believe. Now gunkote or cerakote..... that is another story.

    Rifle Scopes Paralax on USO not correct to markings

    Re: Paralax on USO not correct to markings I had the same problem on an ST10, USO said it was miscalibrated. You shouldn't have to compromise by making it work. Send it in and have them fix it, they fixed mine.

    Rifle Scopes I'm kind of scope ignorant, mind helping me?

    Re: I'm kind of scope ignorant, mind helping me? It would be foolish of you to sell that scope. The S&B 4-16x50 Gen2 is just about the best scope you can own for a .308 gun.

    Rifle Scopes Eotech XPS ?

    Re: Eotech XPS ? I've only owned one Eotech: a 512 that drained batteries even when off and that was really all it took for me to switch to Aimpoint. Basically it comes down to <span style="font-weight: bold">needs</span>, if you like the better reticle, you don't need a super-durable optic...

    Re: Best bipod for a Rem 700 in a AICS? I just got back from the range today and tested a few improvements to my AI bipod: a rubber O-ring around the spigot base to reduce the slop in cant and AI rubber feet. Holy fuckin shit, what a difference. I switched from the AI bipod to a Harris a...

    Rifle Scopes Clarity vs. Magnification?????

    Re: Clarity vs. Magnification????? IOR is known to have some of the best glass in the industry, on the level of Zeiss and S&B and better than USO, NF, Leupold etc. That being said, a lot of people have had problems with the durability of the scopes, with many having internal problems and...

    Rifle Scopes Clarity vs. Magnification?????

    Re: Clarity vs. Magnification????? I find that I have more of a problem of 10x being too much rather than too little. Its nice to be able to zoom down when you want a bigger field of view or if you are trying to find targets quickly. I used a S&B fixed 10x for about a year, after switching...

    Looking for a Drag Bag

    Re: Looking for a Drag Bag Take a look at the Arktis Drag Bag if you get a chance. They are built tough, significantly cheaper than most of the other brands already mentioned ($200, $150 if you are mil/leo), and they are standard military issue to British snipers. I did a review of mine...

    M1A ACCURACY EXPECTATION?

    Re: M1A ACCURACY EXPECTATION? Dogtown is a very experienced long range shooter who also happens to have deployed with the M14 operationally. A 2-3 MOA shooter he is definitely not.

    Sako TRG-22?

    Re: Sako TRG-22? Bear in mind that the AI AW is not a competitor product to the TRG. The AIAE is a better direct comparison to the TRG in terms of features, durability etc. The AI AW would be considered on a higher level durability-wise with the bonded chassis. Also make note that while...
