    Action for a build recommendations

    If you want to shoot the shorter 6s, an origin is a great recommendation. The bighorn/Zermatt actions do well with short cartridges due to the mechanical ejector and CRF. Price is great relative to other actions and you can always swap bolt heads if your wants drastically change. I have a...

    SOLD .223 Proof barrel/TL3

    Bad timing... I grew tired of waiting an ordered a barrel from Front Range precision 3 weeks ago. Message me if you'd be interested in selling the bolt head and mags.

    Rifle Scopes ZCO ZC420 v Kahles K318i v Schmidt Ultra Shorts v Minox ZP5

    Really??? You don't think an 4-20 ATACR would be a good buy at $600-700 (+tax)? You're like a reverse arken shill. There must be a backstory worthy of hearing. I am a bit surprised, NF seemed to be Frank's go to (until ZCO took over) and he's used just about everything and I'm sure he's seen...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO ZC420 v Kahles K318i v Schmidt Ultra Shorts v Minox ZP5

    We are in agreement... I know that the 4-20 and 5-25 isn't a fair comparison regarding FOV, that's why I didn't originally compare the two the scopes. I think that the two scopes offer different enough features to fulfill different roles. DeathBeforeDismount implied that the 4-20 was too...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO ZC420 v Kahles K318i v Schmidt Ultra Shorts v Minox ZP5

    Yeah, $1K+ seems to the be the difference. A new 4-20 sold for $2350 a few weeks ago on ebay, and there is one listed on the PX now for $2500ish. That's not a small difference compared to ZCO, but I guess it's a difference most people ignore...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO ZC420 v Kahles K318i v Schmidt Ultra Shorts v Minox ZP5

    4-20 FOV is 26% greater (23.6ft/100 yards vs 18.7 for the 5-25). Parallax adjustment for the 4-20 is 11 yards vs 45 for the 5-25. Plus it's a bit shorter, so it would fit better on my LMT MWS. My range only goes to 700 yards, and I don't really shoot above 20x mag, so for me the 4-20 is...

    I'm having a hard time finding user experiences with the 4-20 ATACR, which is a shame because it looks like it would be a really versatile scope. You must not be the only one waiting...

    Where are you located? I have a few thousand large pistol primers I could trade, I'd be looking for small rifle.

    SPR Optics in a mid-price tier?

    I like more than 10x mag, so I'd probably go with the xtr 3 for 1000. Lots of good choices, but that is a screaming deal. I have a 4-16 atacr which i love (and would buy again), but it will cost much more than 1000. The mark 5 is probably another great option, but I've never handled one in...

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta Review

    Assuming the following prices, what would you recommend as alternatives: 7-35 ATACR mil-xt - $2750-2800. Vortex 6-36 and Leica PRS are probably a good alternatives. Anything else? Mark 5? 4-16 ATACR -$1800 - Leupold mark 5, anything else? I can see the 5-25 having lots of competition at...

    Rifle Scopes AR10 Scope Help

    If you are set on not using the minox (I would have minox fix it and try that first, there is a reason you picked it, give it a try), I think it comes down to budget... Under $2k I'd pick a 4-16 ATACR or 3.6-18 mark 5. The mark 5 is quite a bit lighter than anything else on your list, if...

    CZ Bren 2 MS .223 - what to expect?

    My 7.62x39 is surprisingly accurate. Definitely 3 moa capable with steel case. I haven't tried higher quality ammo, but I bought mine to shoot cheap steel case ammo (back when that existed). The 7.62x39s have had issues with feeding and ejecting. You shouldn't have problems with the 223...

    Looking for insight. Is my gun trash?

    I don't think 8 twist is the problem... It's not like the 308 is sending bullets at 3k fps. You are probably getting 2400 fps with the 175s? Maybe less? I'm not an expert on external ballistics, but I don't think the 1:8 twist is the problem. If you really want to solve this... Try to...

    What makes one bolt gun more "tough" than another?

    Most custom actions these days are pretty tough and incorporate features which address known weak points on the rem 700. Improved/one piece bolt handles Integral or pinned recoil lugs Integral or pinned scope rails Side bolt release/bolt stop Almost all customs actions have the features above...

    223 Bolt Gun (current climate)

    223 makes a lot of sense. Plenty of cheap bullets that will shoot to 700 yards. You can routinely find 69-77 grain bullets for sub $.20. Even the 88 eldm can be found for .25-.26 without really searching, and that bullet will keep up with most 6 and 6.5 cartridges inside of 700 yards, if you...

    what would it cost to get you to drop test ur kit?

    I haven't asked any one to drop test anything on my behalf, not sure where you've come up with the idea that I did ask that and I should be reimbursing people for damage as a result... that's quite a leap you've made. All I've posted is my experience when my rifle accidentally fell from a...

    what would it cost to get you to drop test ur kit?

    My drop was an accidental one. However, I'd rather find a weak point at home as opposed to finding out on the weekend after I've found a babysitter for the kids. For the amount of money spent on rifles and scopes, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect it to function after a drop...
