    Rifle Scopes Scar 17 optic

    I used a Nightforce 2.5x10x32 with the velocity reticle to engage 2moa targets out to 600 yards with excellent results. I've had cold bore hits at 500 and 600. The scope was light and went well on the SCAR. For a mount, I used the ADM Delta, which is a pound of beef, but works. Lesser...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Does anyone have experience with the German Gun Stocks designed for the T3X CTR? I like that it appears to use the CTR bottom metal, since I already have spare CTR mags, it doesn't need bedding, and it is relatively lightweight...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I have an SKD stock pack, and it works great but it is high enough that it gets in the way for bolt removal and cleaning.

    Scar-17 tips/tricks and ammo recommendations?

    I have a NF 2.5x10 LV reticle in ADM Delta mount. Also installed the G SuperScar trigger and a Midwest Industries extended rail. I feed it Hornady 168 gr TAP for accuracy, and regular ball for blasting ammo (which still shoots about 2moa, just different POI). Yesterday, I put 12x12 steel...

    Any R.E.P.R.Fans ?

    I am one of those that 19Scout77 talked about. I was on the waiting list for a REPR before they came out, and really wanted it to work. To be fair, I was running a Larue mount on my Nightforce, so that could be a contributing factor. My 18" REPR was a great rifle, in that it was well put...

    Repr 16.1 spiral vs Scar 17

    I had an 18" REPR. It was very reliable, but heavy and had surprisingly heavy recoil. I could only get it to shoot up to (down to) about 1 MOA and only on a good day. Not necessarily holding it against the rifle, as it could have been other factors. However, it was still a pig. I would...

    Anyone using Vltor VIS upper?

    Re: Anyone using Vltor VIS upper? I have a Noveske Afghan barrel in a Vltor mid length VIS. It is a little heavier than similar length rifles, but has been 100% reliable and is an absolute laser. The downside would be the weight, and I don't need all that rail space. Other than that it...

    Type 57 mags for M1A

    Re: Type 57 mags for M1A It has been a while since I sold my M1A to my brother, but he still has it with a pile of T57 mags. They worked as well as the GI mags and allowed me to keep the good ones pristine. I got them from Midway and other sources before that. The only problem was some...

    Hornady steel match ammo.

    Re: Hornady steel match ammo. I have shot, and oversaw the shooting of, several thousand rounds of 55 grain Hornady steel cased training rounds and have never seen them cause a stoppage. Inside of 100 yards, the 55 grain and 75 grain shoot close enough that we use the 55 grain, even though...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 2.5-10x44mm Review

    Re: Vortex PST 2.5-10x44mm Review I took the 2.5 x 10 PST into the store and fit the scope caps. 14 EYE worked the best and 33 OBJ worked the best. I'm sure you could push on a smaller set, but I don't think it would fit as well. The 14 EYE also works on the 1x4 PST, which uses a 2 OBJ...

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST law enforcement/military use

    Re: Viper PST law enforcement/military use Anything made by man can fail. Heck, even the M700's that those super scopes are bolted to have been known to just go off on their own and kill like possessed creatures. I keed, I keed. The issues are does the glass meet the same standards, e.g...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 2.5-10x44mm Review

    Re: Vortex PST 2.5-10x44mm Review I like the one I've got, but have yet to really put it through the paces. However, I can add that Butler Creek scope caps sizes are: EYE - 14 OBJ - 33

    Kifaru Woobie

    Re: Kifaru Woobie We got our team to issue us them as part of our cold weather gear package. For that, they drape over armor better than anything to keep you warm (NFL side-line style great coats were WAY more expensive, too). The "man blanket" has many uses and is probably one of the...

    What Mags are you using in your REPR

    Re: What Mags are you using in your REPR P-Mags, from either Brownells or Bravo Co. I had to send mine in, but it was gone less than two weeks door to door.
