    AIAX optional extras

    I am upgrading to an AAC Titan muzzle brake for the suppressor and the AI thread pitch was one of the options. Bought it on Midway and they shipped it right out. Are you saying the diameter of the brake and the barrel won't match and one will be filed down?

    custom vs bought?

    For the rifle I would suggest buy once cry once if you can afford it. If you can’t afford the full system now, then you can go piece by piece. You should also check out Accuracy International rifles. They will go toe to toe with any Surgeon. I don't have any experience with those calibers so...

    Rifle Scopes Octagonal tubes?

    Interesting idea, but I don't think it would make up for the hastle of companies making different mounting devises for them and the added cost of retooling the machines to make a pentagonal scope tube. Just as ORD said a solution with no problem. At least not a prolem big enouph that warrents...

    Rifle Scopes Any advantages to running a 34or35mm scope?

    I have seen zero difference of image clarity or brightness with the tube diameter being the only difference. The Obj lens size, the lens coatings, quality of glass, number of lenses have a MUCH bigger impact on the brightness and clarity of the image than the tube diameter. The biggest...

    Rifle Scopes What scope

    I have spent dozens upon dozens of hours reasearching this same thing. I also considered the Leupold Mk 8. I picked the BEAST because of the following reasons. The high speed .2mil clicks on the elevation, with the .1mil lever if I need it. The digi-illum function with two different colors...

    30-06 reloading

    210 looking at my books. My hunting load for 30-06 is a 180gr Hornady Interbond at 2700fps. I would trust that on anything in North America to include grizzly. Just get good shot placement.

    Hornady LNL bushings with Lee press?

    I started reloading with a single stage Lee press; then got a Hornady LNL progressive. Most of my reloading is pistol competition and 3-gun rifle which the Hornady has served me very well. I am now getting more into precision rifle shooting and I realized an issue. I want to be able to use...

    Varget is back

    Last 8lb can I got from Cabelas was $200; I got that and a few 1lb cans left. Can't wait to get back from deployment and load some rounds for my new AX308MC. I was hopeing this powder scarceness would go away by the time I get back but low and behold I was wrong.

    AIAX optional extras

    I presume you are refering to the pre-2014 AXs as the quick adjustments and rails come standard on the 2014 models. I was about to pull the trigger on one untill the 2014 models were anounced. Now I have one 2014 AX on order. I am an instructor so the quick adjust butt and check were a plus...

    Which rifle for me?

    Just curious as to why you crossed out the Rem 700? The aftermarket parts support for future upgrades is much better with the 700 because it has been around forever. The Savage parts are becoming a little more common place in recent years though. Back the the caliber, If you are not shooting...

    My First AR...

    Very nice, I sold my AR platform to get a SCAR and I wish there were 300BK uppers for the SCAR. Looking into getting another AR platform just for 300BK.

    Confused with zero @ 100

    This is turning into a spitting hairs argument. MOST bullet paths will indeed intersect the line of sight twice. However some paths will rise on their arc from the bore axis only to touch the line of sight without going above it. The picture I posted earlier from Demigod's article is one...

    TAC_338 build

    For the muzzle brake, one thing to think of is if you are going to use a quick detach suppressor for it. If so, look at which suppressor you might get, and get a muzzle brake that is compatible.

    Confused with zero @ 100

    +1 No offense to Sterling Shooter; but please explain your last comment of how an arc of ballistic trajectory must ALWAYS intersect the line of sight twice? Just as I related a ballistic curve to an inverted parabola equation on a coordinate grid; you CAN have only one intersection point on...
