    Rifle Scopes Which 3.5 - 15 Nightforce options would you get ?

    Re: Which 3.5 - 15 Nightforce options would you get ? MLR and 50mm. If you are going to shoot over 500 yards, get the HS, that way you don't forget how many times you turned the knob.

    DPMS 308/260 "L" and "H" models - Anyone have/try?

    Re: DPMS 308/260 "L" and "H" models - Anyone have/try? I have the 260H and it isn't light. The JP handguard really helped handling. I haven't tried the L, but my H weighs a lot less than a buddy's 24" 308.

    Reasons for an adjustable gas block........

    Re: Reasons for an adjustable gas block........ No accuracy loss. It can be useful to tune the gas system to balance the operating pressure. You can up the pressure if the gun gets really dirty. To keep set screws from coming loose, it is best to have an indent machined into the barrel...

    Gunsmithing Building an AR upper with Vltor MUR

    I have a Vltor MUR upper receiver for my AR15. I want to put on a 4 rail handguard and am considering the Larue or Daniel Defense Lite rails. Does anyone know if these handguards are compatible with my upper receiver? I read the directions on the Larue and it doesn't look like it will fit...

    Gunsmithing f-class build that caliber would u go with?

    Re: f-class build that caliber would u go with? In the matches I have attended, the current trend for F-Open is to straight 284 with 180 bergers. Everyone was resizing Lapua 6.5-284 brass as 284 brass is not very popular. An up and comer is the 6.5x47. With 142s and Re 17, I have heard of...

    16" 5.56 twist rates

    Re: 16" 5.56 twist rates I have a 16" 1/9 barrel AR that loves 77gr SMKs. By far the most accurate bullet in this rifle. This rifle throws 80g sideways. I have a Rem 700 PSS 1/9 cut to 22" that shoots 80g SMKs sub MOA at 500 yards. 1/8" is popular as conventional wisdom says that is...

    Why the AICS?

    Re: Why the AICS? Brand692 nailed it. The biggest selling point to me is included bottom metal. When you compare prices of a manners/mcmillan etc., the AICS compares very favorably. The stock is not for everyone. If you are considering one, I would try to find one to try. Of course, since...

    Sinclair F-class bipod

    I am looking for one of these for competitions. Is there anywhere to get one other than Sinclair? Obviously the goal is to reduce the price paid. Also, I am going to use this with an AICS. Has anyone done it? I know it won't fit the standard sling swivel so an adapter is needed. Sinclair...
