    Length vs purpose

    11.5-12.5” if you’re going to run it suppressed. 14.5” unsuppressed or if you’d like to avoid going the sbr/pistol route.

    AI AT-LE 308…now I understand.

    Here’s an example of two cold bore shots fired 10 minutes apart at 100 yards. First round was Hornady TAP 168 ELD-M and the second was a custom loaded (Factory) 180gr Accubond. Pretty sweet when you’re open air and barrier round have the exact same POI.

    AI AT-LE 308…now I understand.

    After quite a bit of research, consideration, and advice from fellow Hide members I settled on a 16” Accuracy International AT-LE 308 for LE sniper work. The build was completed with a Nightforce NSX 3-15, Nightforce rings, Sig SRD suppressor, Sawtooth ARCA rail, and a Harris bipod. All I can...

    Craddock Precision Exceeds Expectations

    .750 is a gas block journal size. TonyTheTiger was correct, I’m interested in the actual gas port size.

    Craddock Precision Exceeds Expectations

    Random question on Craddock barrels…does the buyer have any options on gas port sizing?

    V seven Rifles?

    I see these two companies competing in different categories. JP is the undisputed king of competition AR’s, but if overall weight is your goal I think V Seven is the go-to company.

    Criterion CORE Barrel Accuracy Evaluation

    Thanks for the write up! Just ordered a 14.5” from Criterion for my Tactical Games/Sniper Adventure Challenge build. What are people running for buffer/spring combos with this barrel?

    V seven Rifles?

    Hard to beat the recommendation of MSTN but I’ll throw in my two cents. I’ve used their 10.5” barrel and 2099 rail on a work gun and currently use their receivers, barrel, rail, and small parts on a 14.5” build set up for Tactical Games and Sniper Adventure Challenge. If you want top quality and...

    LMT .308 MWS

    I run a Radian 10.5 at work and I’ve hit the ambi mag release multiple times with my gear. I like having the Ambi charging handle and safety but the rest is of no use to me.

    LMT .308 MWS

    Quick question…if I don’t care about ambi features and I plan on changing the furniture anyways, is there any reason not to get the MWS Defender?

    Caliber for shoulder injury

    6.5 Creed seems like the easy button. Effective on animals at decent ranges, light recoiling, great factory ammo options, good barrel life, and won’t leave you out gunned at a local match. Toss the barreled action of your choice into a Foundation Revelation stock…apparently the Foundation stocks...

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    Does he want to 3D print another one!? Sure do wish more manufacturers would consider provisions for LOP adjustments. I’d rather have adjustable lop the an adjustable cheek piece.

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    Has anyone here added length to their PH2 stock? The PH2 checks all the boxes for my next hunting rifle except that I’m 6’5” and the factory LOP won’t work for me.

    Looking a new lightweight hunter/precision rig

    I’d start by choosing your caliber, and whether or not you reload will play heavily into this. Being that you’re wanting to shoot some matches and hunt with the same rifle obviously means you’re going to make some compromises. My vote for caliber would be 6.5 prc…some would consider it light for...

    Recommended Chassis and Barrell for a light hunting rifle

    I’d run the HNT26 with a 20-22” proof prefit. Throw your S&B in a set of Hawkins ultralight rings and you’d have a very light setup. A carbon shell Manners with a mini chassis is also a slick setup if you prefer the feel of a traditional stock, but it won’t be as light as the HNT.

    Havak LOP?

    I’m considering purchasing a Seekins Precision Havak PH2 but I’m concerned about the LOP on the stock. I’m 6’5” and factory stocks are never long enough for me. Will the factory stock accept spacers? Has anyone here added length to their Havak stock?

    Opinion: Which is the best looking bolt gun and why?

    This rifle is gorgeous. Is the black color a new option from Foundation?

    Brands/Options for a 13.7” barrel

    SOLGW and Triarc make 13.7 barrels for more of a “combat” application. They are both gassed well and work good with suppressors.

    LMT .308 MWS

    I’ve been running a Sig SLX in 5.56 on a 10.5” AR for about 6 weeks now…it’s a seriously impressive suppressor. On the same host it’s noticeably quieter than their SRD suppressor and MUCH less back pressure. From the shoulder it feels like only a slight bump in bolt speed. I get no gas in my...
