    Rifle Scopes Adding "grip" to the Leupold M3 knobs.

    I've got a Leupold Mark 4 with M3 knobs with elevation calibrated to the M118 175gr. After adjusting, it seems I have to really wrench down on the three screws that hold the knob in place after zeroing. They snug up against the turret which seems to be a real smooth stainless steel or aluminum...

    Photos AR-10

    Re: AR-10 Very nice! What does it weigh empty? That a 1:10 twist? When I burn out my Armalite barrel, I want to go with the Noveske.

    Range Report Custom build caliber, 260, 6x47 Lapua, etc.

    Re: Custom build caliber, 260, 6x47 Lapua, etc. Where can I get some good drop info on all these calibers? I've done a few web searches and I get mostly brand-specific stuff.

    I swore in today!

    Re: I swore in today! Welcome to the Army and congratulations on making a good decision! Fight hard for you and your buddies! If you want to stay in it, consider becoming a Warrant, you'll never be happier! Either way, you've made a good decision.

    Range Report Custom build caliber, 260, 6x47 Lapua, etc.

    Re: Custom build caliber, 260, 6x47 Lapua, etc. Thanks for the help! Yes, I reload but just getting started. I'm leaning toward the .260 Rem at this point if I go this route.

    Range Report Custom build caliber, 260, 6x47 Lapua, etc.

    I may draw some fire for asking, but I think my google-fu is weak. I'm only really familiar with military 7.62 and 5.56 and am thinking about jumping into a custom build bolt gun. Some options to me are .260 Rem, .260 AI, 6x47 Lapua and 6.5x47 Lapua. Sounds like the .260 has some ballistic...

    POF or LWRC REPR?

    Re: POF or LWRC REPR? I think it's going to come to what we want accessorized on the rifle. If you want the BUIS, two-stage trigger, PRS, side-charging handle, than go for the LWRC. If you can live without those or want to put your own on, go for the POF. Both are excellent rifles and both...

    POF or LWRC REPR?

    Re: POF or LWRC REPR? I'm doing the same research. Do a google search and you'll find a lot of reading if you haven't already. I could say that if both were the same price, it would easily be the LWRC. There's a lot of love on this site for both. After a ton of reading (internet claims, so...

    Armalite, Rock River or DPMS help me choose?

    Re: Armalite, Rock River or DPMS help me choose? +1 on Armalite. I can't speak for the other brands in an AR-10 configuration, but I can for the Armalite. Probably one of the best out of the box shooters you can get for the price you're looking for. Plus, when you save up some cash later down...

    7.62 semi-auto 1:10 versus 1:11.25

    Re: 7.62 semi-auto 1:10 versus 1:11.25 Well, to add to this discussion, the whole thing came about when the opportunity arised to maybe purchase a REPR for about the same as a new GAP with a few upgrades would cost me. I've been considering upgrading to a piston 308 and I like the other...

    7.62 semi-auto 1:10 versus 1:11.25

    Re: 7.62 semi-auto 1:10 versus 1:11.25 Hmmm, that's a perspective I've not heard. I heard nothing but good things but I can't honestly verify the sources. After reading a few reviews of other Hide members, it seems averaging around .75 to 1 MOA. BTW, I am also considering a GAP POF AR-10

    7.62 semi-auto 1:10 versus 1:11.25

    Re: 7.62 semi-auto 1:10 versus 1:11.25 Got an email back from LWRC and they say all their rifles use polygonal rifling. Not sure if it's 6 groove or not but it sounds like a good setup.

    7.62 semi-auto 1:10 versus 1:11.25

    Re: 7.62 semi-auto 1:10 versus 1:11.25 Good info! Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of selling my current AR-10 and taking the plunge into a LWRC REPR 20" and they offer the selection between the two twists. I don't want to compromise the accuracy this rifle will give me by going with a...

    7.62 semi-auto 1:10 versus 1:11.25

    For a 20" semi-automatic rifle, what is a preferred twist rate for precision shooting? The M110 went with the 1:11, M14/M1As are 1:11.25, GAP does the 1:11, LWRC REPR gives you the option for either 1:11.25 or 1:10 and Noveske does 1:10. My concern is if I go with a 1:11.25 will I not get the...

    Service rifle competition suggestions

    Re: Service rifle competition suggestions I'm actually National Guard, but I do work full-time at Fort Lewis. I'm having this debate with myself about the A2 vs. A4 issue. I realize the A4 would have issues returning to zero, but since I've not been into HP competitions before, the...
