    HOWA .308 Build

    All good counter points. As for ammo selection and understanding different barrels may like different bullets, out of the three Howa's I have owned(all 308) and the ones my friends bought off of my recommendation, I have yet to see one that didn't shoot noticeably better with 175's over 168's...

    HOWA .308 Build

    Not a bad start, bed it and do a trigger job and feed it 175's, it should be a .5 shooter. Make a sand sock for the rear and that will also help tighten up a bit as well. Nice project though, keep us updated.

    AIAX...I'm in love!

    No, they are as good as it gets. There is no "about" when you speak of AI being good and getting. Some others come close, but... back on track great shooting, now where are the pictures?

    AI MK III build questions

    Bipod, good choice. Scope mount, do you have any reason not to go SPUHR. Cleaning gear, like said above. Sling, look at TAB Gear. Data books, reloading eequipment and components and ammo. Gas to the range and enjoy burning out your first barrel.

    Light, Strong, Affordable rail?

    Just curious why this is as I have heard this from a few people without the reasons of why.

    Light, Strong, Affordable rail?

    Any thoughts on a regular15 inch Troy Alpha rail? I have a 13 inch on a 14.5 inch carbine. Not super light but still not as heavy as some, anti-rotation tab, super easy to install and balances really well. It has been bumped a few times and didn't even scratch. If you shop around or qualify for...

    LWRC sold to Colt ?????

    Have trusted my life to one all over the world. They work. I don't see them as a first choice but I'll take a Colt/LWRC any day over 90% of the other shit out there.

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on my new NF NXS 2.5-10x32

    If you are disappointed with the factory illuminated setting double check the owners manual and adjust it to your desired setting. As far as the covered turrets, I'd give Midway a call and see if they will exchange it for you. Otherwise you can always call Nightforce CS and inquire about sending...

    HOWA heavy barrel varmint rifle

    They are excellent actions, like mentioned above the factory stock options leave a lot to be desired though. Out of the ones I have seen and had hands on with, they range from 3/4 to 1.5 moa out of the box. Upgrading the stock and bedding has brought them all below 1 moa consistently. A trigger...

    80 % Lower receiver, Let me know your thoughts

    California is also corrupt and the state constitution doesn't have a right to bear arms. As bad as this sounds, just don't get caught doing anything you shouldn't.

    I think im ready...convince me...

    If you were just going for the 800 Mark and be able to put a deer on the table occasionally get a 6.5 Grendel upper for your AR, the XTRII3-15x and some magazines of various capacity and call it good. That would be my choice but to each his own.

    Curious to hear what you would sell

    Ditch the bolt 223. And probably even the Win Mag. With your uses and range the 308 seems the most well rounded. The 223 doesn't do anything the AR won't. And the Win Mag is over kill until you get out past 800.

    Rainier Arms SPR build

    What specifically do people not like about AI stocks?

    Had a chassis, took about 100 rounds to get used to the ergos. A few years and reenlistment bonus later, and the AW is the Lord God King of my weapons. Switched to a Grippy cheek piece and only run (1) of the thickest spacers it came with, have an Accu-shot monopod and Atlas bipod on it...

    Any problems with hornady dies?

    No offense intended but I would switch dies. My first two sets of dies were Hornady 300WM and 308. Both caused excessive wear on the insides of the case neck and were just a pain overall. Made the switch Redding and never looked back.

    Sako TRG Lapua Vs Custom. What would you do?

    I went with an AW260. I've fired the AW magnums both in 300 and 338 as well as the original AX 338. If it were me, I'd go 300WM. Components do add up and the amount I shoot I'd be looking for a new barrel in three years. Also the bullet selection for 30 cal is great. I also don't shoot long...

    Sako TRG Lapua Vs Custom. What would you do?

    Though not a "handy" there are always two happy endings when shooting an AI, best feeling trigger I have ever felt, and i swear the rifle is a mind reader because it puts rounds right where you want them. True not everyone can put it in their budget, but a TRG, Surgeon, GAP, Defiance, SAC...

    Bushmaster ACR SBR question

    There was a thread a while back where a member used an AR barrel and barrel nut. Not sure if it was sbr or not but that is one route you could go instead of cutting your barrel. If I remember correctly he said it improved his accuracy getting rid of the quick change barrel system.
