    AI AT308 bolt face pitting

    I just picked up an AI AT in 308, the previous owner only fired about 90 rounds out of it, and I've put around 100 rounds. All factory ammo. The bolt face has some pitting in a ring around the firing pin. Is this a common issue with these? I'll post a pic of it tonight. allegedly it does not...

    Advice: NIB AI AT 6.5cm vs. Used AI AX 260 (Gen 1)

    I went the other way and went AT, I plan on carrying mine around in the field a bit and the reduced weight of the AT over the AX is nice. Plus its freezing here half the year and plastic is nicer on the hands. AX are nice but heavy and here in Canada you can only get the AXMC which is infinitely...

    Mark 6 3-18 vs NX8 2-20 vs Schmidt 3-20?

    Found a Deal on a 3-20 S and B, couldn't pass it up as it was cheaper than any of the other options. super pumped to get it thanks everyone for their input!

    Mark 6 3-18 vs NX8 2-20 vs Schmidt 3-20?

    Problem with that is it comes with a $2K premium here in Canada over the other optics I would rather buy two of the stated above

    Mark 6 3-18 vs NX8 2-20 vs Schmidt 3-20?

    Just picked myself up an AI AT in 308 and trying to decide on a scope. I have a ZCO and a Steiner on my other rifles currently but I'm not sure on which to go with on the AI. Can anyone with some experience on these scopes recommend one? I've looked through the Mk 6 locally but the other two I...

    Victrix Armaments Gladius

    I have the older version of the stock. I will say this, nothing shoots as smooth as this as I have ever experienced. The level of precision with the few different types of factory ammo I've tried just don't even compare. Once I develop a load I'm expecting some pretty amazing results. My only...

    Victrix Armaments Gladius

    I took one of those in 260 Rem from the Gun dealer, I checked around to make sure GBT didn't have it, not on his website though. Too bad I would like to supported him. Super excited to get it though, curious to compare it to my cadex, something tells me there will be a difference. The new ones...

    Falkor Petra Vs...?

    Unfortunately our wacky gun laws restrict some guns on name along :( thanks for the input, it seems most feedback is very positive. I like the Ambi controls, I shoot off hand quite often. 300 win mag doesn't hurt my feelings, nor does their 300 norma option. I like the fit and finish on the...

    Falkor Petra Vs...?

    Looking for a larger semi auto rifle, up here in Canada our gun laws are dumb, a Petra is non-restricted (read take anywhere and use anywhere) where as an AR 15 is restricted (read use at range only) That said there is quite a few options that are NR based on the AR 10 which is also Non...

    Which gun to build next?

    Great Idea greg! one problem is anything that is a "variant" of an AR15 is not allowed for use outside of a range. Semis the minimum a barrel can be is 18.5" and overall length can't be shorter than 26" there is options for an AR 15 ish rifle to do that (namely ATRS products) so I could do a...

    Which gun to build next?

    So I figured I'd like to hear some other peoples opinions on this matter as I'm wondering what to build next. I'll start this off by I live in Canada and our gun laws are stupid. I currently have rifles chambered in 223, 6.5x284 Norma, 6.5x47 Lapua and 300 Norma. and I'm looking for my next...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner P4Xi 4-16x56 - SCR Riflescope

    It all depends what you prefer for a reticle. I like the finer reticle of the Steiner myself and the resolution of this scope is actually fantastic. The CR sucks in the snow but I can get over that thanks to all of the other benefits I think this scope has, now if my turrets were a little easier...

    Carbon Six barrel feedback needed

    You'd be correct, I have a 6.5-284 Norma shoots fantastic for my purposes, easily 1/2 Moa and if I don't suck it'll do better

    CADEX Rifle Reviews?

    Yeah I would definitely recommend it, for me a victrix would have been $12,000 rifle only. An AI would have been $11,000 rifle only (on caliber). The Desert Tech rep here leaves a lot to be desired, no customer service, took me three weeks to get a reply back about spending $8000 on a rifle to...

    CADEX Rifle Reviews?

    I was in the same position as you a couple months ago, I was looking at multiple switch barrel systems (desert tech, AI, Barrett, curtis) before I settled on the Kraken. I've had a cadex before and it was an absolute tack driver. What really sold me was, although their barrel system is slightly...

    Rifle Scopes Any Athlon Ares BTR owners out there?

    Not Mine, Its a buddy's and he has another SIII that trumps all these scopes but its only 3-18 or something like that. This was a longer magnification one and at 800 m I wasn't very impressed

    Rifle Scopes Any Athlon Ares BTR owners out there?

    I have an Ares BTR, and here are some thoughts: For the money its a great scope. glass quality is decent, mines tracks really well, I shoot out to 800 at my range and I can dial between ranges quickly and easily with confidence. After a morning of shooting I did a zero check at 100 yds and I...
