    Anyone hear from Scott Parker lately?

    Infinity-Maybe he's not ripping me off-don't put words in my keyboard. I am just less than pleased I apparently got pushed behind people months behind me and have received no response since September. I will say without a doubt that he is less than fair and responsible in how he conducts his...

    Anyone hear from Scott Parker lately?

    I also am a busy family man. I have multiple emails unanswered for several weeks, and between this thread and my pms he has shipped the same scale to people that ordered months after I did. All of my correspondence with him has been polite. I will be chalking this up to an expensive learning...

    Anyone hear from Scott Parker lately?

    No answer, nice to hear people that ordered 2 months after I did already received theirs. I paid for mine in full the day I ordered it.

    Anyone hear from Scott Parker lately?

    Been waiting on a scale paid for in June, was supposed to be a 4 to 6 week wait. I am pretty patient but after multiple emails stating it would ship "next week" I am unable to get a reply for the last few weeks. Just wondering if he fell off the edge of the world.

    LMT MWS 20inch CL

    The LMT factory barrels will not work with any available adjustable gas block. This is according to LMT, as the gas port is drilled at some proprietary angle. Yes, the 20 is as over gassed as the 16. Maybe the 18 is better I have not tried that yet, I have a 20CL, 16CL, and 16SS. The best way I...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex scopes must have an awful lot of problems

    I believe it is unfair to rate Vortex scopes as a whole. They have a wide range of quality, and you pretty much get more than you pay for in comparison to other brands. Vortex scopes are spec'ed not built by Vortex, and I believe they are priced well below what a lot of other companies would...

    308 16" realistic expectations?

    Sounds like you are doing pretty good then, you will see tighter groups possibly if you mess around and try to tweak a load to the gun, but most likely you will also see improvement with quality match ammo and trigger time. I see no inherent weakness in your other equipment, give the FGMM 175s a...

    308 16" realistic expectations?

    I have a bit of experience with the DPMS guns, and it depends on the barrel profile, as they have numerous barrels from lightweight to bull. The lightest bbls are mostly just above moa "all day long", so groups averaging 1.4"-2" with an average skill level shooter are reasonable. The medium and...

    looking for good hat recomendations

    This looks like an incarnation of your list above, but looks a bit odd to me. Cabela's GORE-TEX® Thinsulate™ II Jones Cap : Cabela's That said, I stay away from waterproof hats though. quick dry is okay, but I prefer one that has something absorbent around the head to absorb sweat. Waterproof...

    Mystery Ranch - 3 day assault pack - thoughts?

    The Komodo will hold it, but I would guess that would take up close to a third of the total capacity as I am suspicious it would not lay down in the pack(tough to tell from just looking at the specs on that container). My Metcalf would probably hold 6 or 7 of those containers.

    Rifle Scopes Mils/MILRAD, MOA, inches and yard vs cm and m

    The term mil is slightly related to the metric system. It was derived by Charles-Marc Dapples from the same prefix of millimeters and milligram. It means (obviously) one thousandth (millimeter is one-thousandth of a meter). I believe this is why so many people relate it to the metric system. The...

    A poll - Is your weekly income more than $219.95 USD

    I make more than $219 per week. I also paid right at $300 each with shipping for all my Atlas bipods. Just saying…If you really wanna jump on the atlas bandwagon you better bring more than $219, especially if you got more than 1 rifle, which according to preppers rules 1 is none, and 2 is 1. I...

    Rifle Scopes Optimized height and lenght on mount for AR15 style of rifles.

    i agree the NF does not need the cant, but I prefer it as it keeps the scope near the center of elevation travel throughout most distances I get to shoot (mostly under 900 yards). But if there was no interest ADM would not be selling a ton of these in 20moa: American Defense MFG, LLC | Browse |...

    Rifle Scopes Optimized height and lenght on mount for AR15 style of rifles.

    Won't work in a 20moa, the 1.125" unimount puts the bell solidly in the rail. The 1.375 high mount is about as low as you can go in a 20moa on a flattop, I currently also run a 1.45" high 20 moa mount also (I believe that is the height of the Spuhr cantilever mount) and a 56mm bell sits less...

    Rifle Scopes Optimized height and lenght on mount for AR15 style of rifles.

    That height with a 50 or 56mm bell in 20 moa will not clear a flat top rail, certainly not with any form of lens cap. Hakan-how about a 30mm NON-cantalevered 1.35" 20 moa mount for the mono upper ARs. LMT and Colt to name 2 popular ones. Please.

    Ruger SR762 & Sig 716

    I have been able to run a Sig, and only handled a Ruger but my thoughts so far: I like the handgaurd on the Ruger. Feels better than the sig but I don't know what if any aftermarkets if any will fit. The Ruger has a very cool BCG design. The 1-peice carrier seems like a great idea, we will see...

    Rifle Scopes Move over B.E.A.S.T., the UTG has arrived!!

    Perhaps he is aware what a chinese scope cost straight from the factory. Not a jab as I understand how the capitalist system works and I want them to make a profit. Most "name brand" chinese scopes are produced for well under $30 complete. Many of them wear respected names when they arrive here...

    varget @ midway

    Is Varget still scarce? I have it available locally at 3 places for the past several months, only occasionally out of stock. I figured it was getting around to everyone by now. The only thing I have not seen is an 8 pounder.

    varget @ midway

    Yup, my last Hodgdon order from midway took over 3 months to arrive, all powder comes straight from manufacturer, so Midway actually has NO varget in stock. Just a FYI in case anybody tries them for the first time. All they got was an ok to take orders.

    GAP 10 or LaRue OBR

    I have to agree with much already stated. If I wanted the most accurate AR, it would be a GAP followed by JP. When looking for the utmost in accuracy after number 2 who cares what else is out there. If I wanted the most robust AR that I would bet my life on, it would be an LMT MWS (and might...
