    Confused with zero @ 100

    With most trajectories the bullet's path will indeed cross the line of sight twice with standard zeroing distances. However it is possible to only have one intersection point. Just like an inverted parabola on a coordinate grid. The equation can cross the X axis once, twice or not at all...

    Tac Con Trigger

    The 3rd selector of the swicth that would be auto/burst on a M-16 is an assisted reset. If you pull the trigger and hold, only one round will fire. The 3rd option causes the trigger to move forward as the BCG rides over the hammer. Not enough to trip the sear for continuos fire, but enough to...

    Confused with zero @ 100

    Here is a diagram that I got from Demigod's article (link below). I think you might be confusing the bore line and the optic line. If the optic plane is horizontal, the bullet can cross the optic plane once, twice or not at all; depending on the alignment of the bore plane to the optic plane...

    Confused with zero @ 100

    There is always a small upwards incline to the barrel if you have it zeroed with any optic mounted above the barrel. If the barrel is perfectly level, the bullet will start falling as soon as it leaves the muzzel. In order to get a shot to zero with ANY scope mounted above the bore axis, the...

    ACR or SCAR

    Thanks, will keep my eye out for the 20" for the 17s.

    Confused with zero @ 100

    The iron sight and red dot zero on the M4s I qualified on before coming to the sandbox are 25/300m. The elevation dial on the rear sight gets set at 300m for the qualification. All shots for the zeroing are at 25m. A 2" optic height is a good WAG for a M4/AR-15 for a standard red dot. The...

    ACR or SCAR

    One other thing I will say about the SCAR is the lack of aftermarket barrels. I would really like a 20" for the 17s and a 10" for the 16s. HDD Tactical has had them on backorder for I don't know how long. Does anyone know where to get these?

    Why No 30 06

    55.5 of H-4350 under a 180gr Hornady Interbond works very well for me. 2720 out of a 24" barrel with .3" groups at 100 yards and a 11fps extreme spread with 5 shots. I have pushed it to 57.5 with 2950 and did not see pressure signs in my Kimber 84L Montana. At the higher velocities the...

    ACR or SCAR

    Care to elaborate on the "breaking"? I have seen reports from the field about the SCAR and a common issue is the plastic stock latch breaking. I havn't seen anything documenting the rifle breaking, (as in it won't fire). As for the "can't handle the recoil" I assume you are talking about the...

    50 Cal? INSANE?

    At $5 a trigger press to boot. Even if you reload you have to get a special press and dies. There is a certain satisfaction by putting a 1/10th pound bullet down range though. :)

    Official First Look at the Accuracy International, AX308MC

    Does anyone know the reason for the new AX rifles having a 1-12 vs the 1-10 of the old AX rifles? I know 1-10 is only needed for subsonic work and 1-12 will be just fine for most .308 bullets. I am just wondering what the reason, if any, was for swiching.

    Ai AT vs AX in 308

    I have a 24" AX308MC on order with Mile High. According to them, the barrel is a 1-12 twist. Does anyone know why the new AX rifles are coming with a 1-12 as opposed to the 1-10 of the old AX models?

    Rifle Scopes Rings vs integreal mount; pros and cons of each?

    This might be a question for a new thread, but what height would be recommended for a Nightforce BEAST on the AX308MC with the 20MOA rail?

    Ruger SR 762

    I have had ammo issues with a SR 556, specifically Wolf. The problem was the 4 position gas system was not tuned for that ammo. It would cycle other ammo fine but not the wolf. Dial a little more gas flow and the problem was gone. I am just saying that could be your problem with the 8...

    Why No 30 06

    I have shot both .308 and 30-06. Accuracy within the supersonic range is equal using handloads. The 30-06 has more range to it because it is faster. Factory match loads for the .308 are MUCH more available than the 30-06. I reload so this doesn't matter to me. I have loaded my Kimber 84L...

    ACR or SCAR

    The SCAR has 6 torx screws holding the barrel in. Military Arms Channel has several ACR vs SCAR videos; one of which compares the POI shift after barrel removal. The SCAR had none and the ACR has a small shift. I have the 16s and the 17s. The triggers are OK but the Geisselle triggers are...

    What has been your break-in experience?

    I just do a light cleaning on a new rifle, then take it out and shoot. Every barrel is different on the amount of rounds it takes. I have seen a barrel right on from the start, and I have seen 100 rounds to settle in. No voodo-black-magic barrel break-in. :)

    Rifle Scopes Rings vs integreal mount; pros and cons of each?

    Will defiantly look into Spuhr mounts. You are correct about the equipment; only one thing to fix if results are not up to par, and it isn't the equipment.:)

    Weapon light for ddm4v1?

    I have the X300 ultra and I have shown it against a white wall from pitch black and it does not hurt your night vision. I have practiced clearing my house and it turns everything into daylight. Outside I have lit up a tree line at 200 yards. Just make sure you have some extra batteries in...
