    Introducing The Vision Chassis for R700, Tikka, Sako and Sig Actions

    What is the barrel length on the TRG22? I think they made a 20" and a 26". You will definitely have a hard time balancing this chassis with a factory 20" TRG barrel. I have a 26" Proof comp contour barrel and the balance is good. I can't imagine dropping 6" of barrel and getting this chassis...

    Heavy 223 bullets

    I just started shooting 88 ELD-Ms out of a 26" Proof prefit for my TL3. I was going to switch to the 85.5 berger, but the 88s shot so well I have no interest in trying anything else. I didn't really do any load development, I didn't feel a need to. The first load shot well enough that I'm not...

    Is a switch lug necessary for regular barrel swaps?

    @reubenski You are the reason I spent a couple of range trips switching barrels in my TL3 without special tools (action wrench, barrel vise, torque wrench). I agree with you on everything above... Lots of over complicated solutions in the name of commerce. I hand tightened a barrel with...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Dave Wilson (unclemoak) has had good deals on LMT MWS stuff in the past. Reach out to him, he can probably get you setup with something when more parts come in. @unclemoak

    RimX, PVA or Keystone?

    Was that prefits chambered by LW? Or was a blank chambered by someone else?

    Rifle Balance - Proof Competition Contour

    You can see that an extra 2+ lbs makes a big difference in balance point. One point won't balance on bag for me (due to that crazy big barricade stop). The other point will balance on bag (but another inch forward would make a big difference).

    Vision Chassis, 26" proof comp contour, with atlas supercal, no other external weights... 19.8 lbs The balance point (including atlas supercal - approx 1.7 lbs) is marked in the picture below blue nail polish. The pink/white nail polish is the balance point with a 4.67 pound 24" barrel.

    LaRue's New Bolt Gun

    I don't think he will sell many of these... I don't think he has much of a following anymore. Larue behind the times on everything. His claim to fame was the OBR and scope mounts and I don't know anyone who buys his scope mounts or OBRs anymore.

    Zermatt Arms Ti3

    Wow, very nice! I really like my TL3 short action, can't say enough good things about it! Next time I'm in the market for a new action I'll pick one of these up.

    Is a switch lug necessary for regular barrel swaps?

    I guess I'm the odd man out... I just twist the barrels on by hand at the range. Works well for me. I do have an action wrench and a barrel vise. I just twist it on as tight as possible, I have a pair of work gloves with rubber grips on the palms and fingers. I just made a witness mark on...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on RMR location for AR10 / SCAR 17

    I like 12 o'clock, that's what I use on my ACOGs. For me it's faster than offset, more intuitive, it's less likely to snag, likely lighter, and as nutation points out, has peripheral uses that a offset doesn't provide. Nightforce unimount with multimount ring cap. Badger, repilia, hawkins...

    SCOPE for an AR with a 16 inch barrel (5.56)

    Don't tease us, what's your opinion on the alpha scopes? Most people don't live next to Europtics or mile high so purchases are made on community feedback... Let's hear it!

    RimX, PVA or Keystone?

    Front range precision has the best deals on proof. Send him a message, he has been able to do package deals if you need extra mags/accessories.

    SCOPE for an AR with a 16 inch barrel (5.56)

    No personal experience with the XTR3, but that's what I would try. The Bushnell Elite tacticals are nice, the 4.5-18 is in your budget, so is the used DMR2. Those 3 have good reticles, significantly more mag than the 10x you currently have and all 3 are known to be reliable scopes.

    RimX, PVA or Keystone?

    I've been researching RimX barrels for a couple of weeks now and there are two big differences between PVA and Proof: 1) PVA offers a 12 twist which they claim helps with accuracy beyond 200 yards (vudoo also claims that faster twist barrels also help with LR accuracy). 2) Proof only offers a...

    10x scopes

    That makes sense, regarding the 10x, especially at night. As you know the x32 did dim before 10x. I think I noticed mine dimmed at 6x. Not noticeable during the day, but dusk/dawn it was noticeable. That's part of the reason I wanted to go to the x42, I was hoping to get more mag prior to...
