    How long do I have to wait for a quality manufacturer to make me a lightweight factory takedown rifle?

    Roamin, Nice snag on the AX you will like it ... it IS a bit heavy for walk-around hunting but if you're in a blind or on "deer overwatch" it will be great. I have an AI AT also a AI PSR and my experience with the AI AT/AX/PSR's return to zero is that they are sensitive to the amount of...

    .22 PRS scope choice help

    The H59 type reticles are controversial. Some love them and some like me find them distracting as I think they clutter up the picture too much; however, they do work and with practice I have seen shooters get really good with them. Where they seem to really shine is with fast, flat shooting...

    .22 PRS scope choice help

    With 5-25x I am at 12-18x most of the time especially at a centerfire match here in CO where the mirage will make going to higher mags useless. Running at lower mag makes the eye box more forgiving esp. if you are moving around changing positions in a stage. I believe it is mostly...

    .22 PRS scope choice help

    You will want (in order of importance): 1. A scope that tracks consistently and is repeatable 2. Zero Stop 3. Focus (parallax) to 25 yards 4. 6-24x about covers all needs (most of us are magnification whores and can get by with 4-16x but you need to be able to spot your hits at max distance...

    1:12 twist.308 win bullet recommendations

    Yes there are better Bullets for long range .308 shooting. I haven’t shot them since the 175’s came out 20 years ago. That being said the 168 shoot really well as long as you can keep them super sonic.

    1:12 twist.308 win bullet recommendations

    Upstate43 let me say it again and more precisely so there is no confusion: there is nothing inherently unstable about the Sierra .308 168gr MatchKings. They are a very ACCURATE bullet. It is an issue of retaining velocity down-range. ALL bullets exhibit stability/accuracy issues when they...

    GA Precision resale value?

    I haven't ever shot one but hear great things about them. With the GA rifles I wouldn't be surprised if there was a slight price bump due to the great brand they have built. That being said if a shooter is contemplating the $4,000+ custom gun route then they most likely will pay the extra...

    What is the best precision/tactical sniper rifle i can buy for 4k or less?

    I built lots of custom guns on Bighorn, Mausingfield, Borden, Badger Ordinance in manners, mcmillan and chassis ... etc. They are all great. They all shoot great; however, the AI rifles are better overall - they shoot and they just work rain or shine - you never get surprised. If the ergos of...

    1:12 twist.308 win bullet recommendations

    Here in Denver a 1:12 308 will stabilize 190gr matchkings out to 1,000 yards. Competitors shoot them 2,400-2,500 fps and prefer the heavier Bullets at distance for bucking the wind. Might not work at sea level in the winter .... don’t know.

    1:12 twist.308 win bullet recommendations

    There is nothing wrong with the inherent stability of the 168’s. They are one of Sierra’s best shooting Bullets. The issue is not one of stability but one of down-range velocity. It is difficult to keep the 168’s supersonic at sea level at 1,000 yards especially out of a gas gun. That is why...

    Suppressors Downrange noise?

    If you have ever pulled targets in the butts at an NRA long range match or had Bullets flying just over your head you know how loud the “crack” of a bullet is as it passes even at 1,000 yards.
