    Chronograph

    If you don't mind attaching something to your barrel while shooting, the magnetospeed sporter is accurate and reasonably priced. I have an Oehler 35P that is very good for an optical chronograph. You may be able to find one used at a reasonable price , as I did. The offerings from Pact are...

    Remington 700 Failure to Fire

    The tolerances are probably so close that like you said, there can be flex issues. I would try skim bedding the action. This would allow for the variation between the stock and action.

    Barrel too hot?

    At 300 yards, wind becomes a bigger consideration than 100 yards, especially with a 223.

    M855A1 through factory KAC SR-15, issues?

    I don't say undergassed in a bad way, and maybe should have used a different term. Take a Colt 6920 and compare it to an SR-15. The 6920 has to have a heavy buffer and special extractor springs with a buffer to run properly.

    M855A1 through factory KAC SR-15, issues?

    I know how to maintain an AR, and don't really care if it won't run shitty ammo. Everything I run through it are my reloads. My son brought some steel cased ammo to the range and tried it without success. Oh well.

    M855A1 through factory KAC SR-15, issues?

    Then why won't mine on cheap ammo? It likes loads on the warmer side and 5.56.

    M855A1 through factory KAC SR-15, issues?

    Nice brag thread 😁 The SR-15 is undergassed in my experience so I don't see it being an issue.

    Fuddlight, 762x39

    That looks like a fun little setup. Years ago, I picked up a Saiga Sporter in 223 to convert to an AK style build. It has similar lines as your Fightlite. After shooting it a couple of times, I decided that I liked it the way it came and have left it as-is.

    Former endeavors that used to give joy and are fleeting now...

    Skiing as a teenager. Sometime in my 20s I kind of started losing interest. Pretty sad considering I live next to some of the best places to ski in the world. Working on cars. I've got a few collector projects that are just sitting, waiting for me to get back to it.

    Tikka T3X TacA1-223 discontinued?

    $1650 for a Tikka seems crazy to me. They're great rifles, I own two, but at that point you might as well buy a low end custom action. Add in the cost of a prefit barrel, trigger, and a KRG Bravo, and you aren't much more.
