    Suppressed 6.5 CM 20in barrel with +2 Gas?

    I shoot a GAP-10 6.5CM suppressed all the time. My AGB was on the gun when I got it. It is incredibly soft shooting. With my AGB set right, and my gun even remotely clean, my brass looks almost identical to my bolt guns. At a match my buddy can stand about 3’ away and catch my brass in a ball...

    Suggestions for a “Do It All” Lower Configuration?

    The only issue with the LMT SOPMOD, and I think the B5 as well is: when shooting off of a rear bag, like a Gamechanger, my stock is constantly closing on me. The bag hits the button on the bottom, and closes the stock on recoil. Plays hell with groups. ? Bad location for that lever for any...

    Lighter weight barrels with heavy suppressors

    I use a SF 7.62SOCOMRC2 on everything. My 14.5 KAC Carbine wears it, all the way up to my 7.62 gassers and my GAP-10 in 6.5CM. I’m so used to it now, I don’t even notice it. I see less than 1moa shift on my 14.5. That is a very standard lighter profile barrel. I find a little heavier but stock...

    Precision Recce Rifle

    I’m also a fan of the Krieger barrels. My KAC LPR is a Krieger. That rifle is LIGHTS OUT. I’m all about Bartlein in my bolt guns, but there MAY be something to the Kriegers as well. Your set up looks awesome. I’m using the ATACR 1-8 on mine. I shot a match with Jack Leuba and Ash Hess down in...

    Anyone have firsthand experience with either of theses charging handles?

    I shoot about 90% suppressed on both my AR-15’s and my AR-10’s. I’m using either the Radian ambi C/H or a Battle Arms Development prototype charging handle that I’m long term testing for BAD. Both are fantastic. I know many folks talk about gas to the face, but my SureFire SOCOMRC2 just doesn’t...

    AI thumb rest install question

    I’m sorry that happened to you. I installed mine in like 7 minutes. My buddy shot mine and liked it so much he bought 2 on the spot. All three went in perfect. Damn the luck brother.

    Range Report 130gr or 140gr for 260rem?

    I don’t believe any of us can give you an answer. The answer lies in your barrel. I’m not trying to be a smart ass, but it’s true. If your barrel shoots 130’s to 2950, but the best you can muster is 1.1moa, and the 140’s shoot 2700, but are consistently .4-.5, THATS your answer. I love speed...

    What’s your take on the 6.8 SPC chamber?

    My personal take on it was that I couldn’t ever get it to shoot all that amazing. I had a Noveske barrel, and I shot about 10 different loads through it. It was a moa shooter, but JUST THAT. I’m used to my AR’s being much better than that. I shot several Fallow Deer, and a Corsican Ram with...

    Using DA instead of BP, Alt and temp, throws off AB trajectory chart

    Yes....I should have said: when I entered altitude AND “pressure is absolute” it threw me off. I leave altitude alone.

    6.5x47L vs 6.5 Creedmoor

    Agree with above post. There are those who will say the 6.5-47 is more “efficient “, and MAY pack a tiny accuracy advantage. Those are minutia that are lost on me. Just repeating what I’ve been told. I don’t reload much, so 6.5CM is a no brained for me. If I reloaded constantly, like I should...

    Using DA instead of BP, Alt and temp, throws off AB trajectory chart

    Rule number 1, pay the $1.99 for the CDM. It is based on Litz and his team shooting the heck out of the specific rounds, NOT using a standard, non changing B.C. Using a standard B.C. doesn’t take into account the different things bullets do as they slow down. A 140 ELD-M might be a .250 G7 at...

    Rifle Scopes Mark 5HD vs. Nightforce ATACR 7-35

    That doesn’t really make sense Duffman, but as has been said millions of times before; “everyone’s eyes are different.” That’s why many experts won’t review “the glass”, they review features etc. No way to say what your eyes see vs what I see. The one issue with using the MK5 at night as your...

    Help Me Pick an AR15 Barrel ?

    I’ve shot MOST barrels out there. The two that continue to knock my socks off are my 18” on my KAC LPR, and my buddy’s Compass Lake with CLE chamber. That gun is a real deal sub MOA AR-15. Compass Lake spins up Bartlein’s and Kreiger, and several others. I would ABSOLUTELY call them if I was in...

    Rifle Scopes High magnification usability?

    I have the NF 7-35. I generally run around an NRL match at 12-14X. I find I use the top end on KYL stages, and when shooting small groups while prone. The new scopes that I personally have shot: the NF 7-35 and the Leupold MK5 7-35 are very usable on the top IF you’re super stable, and the...

    Rifle Scopes Mark 5HD vs. Nightforce ATACR 7-35

    I have done this exact comparison. I have the Nightforce 7-35, and my buddy has the MK5 7-35. Interestingly enough, he noticed some of the differences first. The NF does have brighter glass. It seems to have more “true” image up on 35X. The Leupold was absolutely not bad, and is NO SLOUCH, but...

    Advice on first LR rifle

    Congratulations on your purchase. The Tikkas are fantastic rifles. My buddy shoots a Tikka and he is VERY competitive with it. As in top 25 in the NRL. He and I shoot together often. I shoot an A.I. in 6.5CM. He shoots the Tikka 6.5CM in a XLR chassis. He very regularly lays down .5 moa 5 shot...

    28" barrel hindrance?

    Still shorter than running a 22-24” and putting a can on the end that adds 6-7”. Many do that and don’t worry about it. ?

    Two stage trigger.

    While many folks have given solid advice on the “what” trigger, I can only help on the “why”. I, like another poster above, shoot an A.I., and have multiple AR-15/AR-10. All of them have 2stage triggers. I very much like a 2 stage for the reliability, and the predictability. I love coming...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor Gen II

    I see you already ordered it, but maybe this will help with confirmation of your choice. I’m a dyed in the wool Nightforce guy, literally 1-8, 4-16, 5-25, AND 7-35. You can safely say I’m a NF fanboi. ? That said, it that price, and if YOU like it, I’d have done it as well. You have to look FAR...
