    Scratched chamber

    Being the former number 2 tac rifle shooter in the nation in the PRS, a sponsored shooter by one of the most respected shops in this community, and a former USMC SS, I'd venture to guess that you're fucking incorrect.

    Neck turning & ARs

    I have turned the necks on some of the brass for my JP LRP-07. I was running a lot of Winchester branded .243 brass, and that definitely needed uniforming around the necks. It did not lead to any brass issues, I never had any necks split, etc...if that is what you're wondering? You gotta...

    Scratched chamber

    Is this a Proof barrel? If I can get this pic of my buddy's .308 after 2500rds, and knowing another buddy who had some fucked up Proof CF barrels, I'd guess it's Proof. Do tell...

    White oak armament accuracy

    I understand the semantics involved here, and I know what you were trying to relay, but it's just not the case. If you are Mark Wahlberg in "Shooter," in terms of skill, and have a barrel with a shitty chambering job, burrs, chadder, just won't shoot, etc...you're not going to hit what you're...

    Neck turning & ARs

    I am going to go out from the rest of the pack on this one, and this is just from my experience...it really depends on what brass you're using. If you're running Lapua, I wouldn't worry about it. If you measure the neck wall's thickness around the entire neck, depending upon the manufacturer...

    White oak armament accuracy

    I'm going to respectfully disagree with this statement. There are absolutely inaccurate barrels. I have seen them. I have owned them. I have replaced them. You're dealing with machining, and advanced machining techniques, which can have a serious impact on your hardware's capacity to be...

    Double firing when suppressed

    Understandable. The only .30-06 I own is a rifle inherited from my grandfather. It was built by a company about 50 years ago called "Golden State Arms Co." They basically took Mauser actions and built hunting rifles off of them, so she's weighs in at a whopping 4.9lbs! And you feel every single...

    Double firing when suppressed

    Doubles? What are doubles? My first experience with a Calvin Elite in my .260 chambered LRP-07 sent all 10 rounds out of the mag in a fucking jiffy! Having shot full-auto only once in my life, and never expecting that result, I shit myself just a dribble. To top it off, I was at an indoor...

    What am i doing wrong ?

    For some strange reason, my targets are only coming up with JFK half-dollars...not my fault, but the same rules apply, right? ;)

    JP LRP-07 Accuracy Issue

    "Special projectile availability..." come on man. After reading the OP's post, is that the only thing you could think of? Does he seem like the type that is gonna be into those types of projectiles? Gonna stuff a 185gr Juggernaut down an AR's throat? Unbelievable.

    JP LRP-07 Accuracy Issue

    Just want to throw it out there that if you've got the 15k+ to purchase the KAC 6.5 rifle, I'd like to sell drugs with you, sir! LMAO!!! And I will also advocate for going to 6.5 in a precision gas gun. I still have multiple .308's, but IMHO, they're just lacking in ever regard when compared...

    Large or small semi...

    Do you know where you'll be competing primarily? If you've got any amount of wind, and with regards to a gas gun, I wouldn't encourage a long distance .223 for anything other than practice. The mag length restriction on bullet seating makes the higher-BC .224 projectiles relatively moot. I am...

    An ar10 for prs

    Obviously, @bigjake83 has the heart and soul, vis-a-vis, the system variable, in the equation down to a fine science. I would only add balance, try to get your rifle as well-balanced as you can. The other variable in this "I wanna run a gas gun in competitions" equation is the fella running...

    Issue zeroing Eotech Vudu 5-25

    Is that a Bighorn TL3? If so, it does have cant. If that's what you have, that's more than likely your issue.

    Defiance bought out

    And if you read the follow up comments with the obvious question, you will see that he never responded. His side of the story, "I..had a admin problem in the office during our busy schedule and did not have all of the proper documents for the deer that were taken. I absolutely was convinced that...

    Help with large frame AR Precision build

    I am gonna let @bigjake83 answer you for certain, because I can't remember. From the minimal amount of reading I have done on the topic, I would venture to guess that it is not an HP bolt.

    Vortex Razor HDII issues

    About 8 years ago, I was hunting with the 13yr-old son of one of my friend's. Kid had a doe tag. Kid was running a Rem 700 in .243. Before we left camp, I asked my buddy, "This rifle has been zeroed, right?" He said, "Yeah. I boresighted it," which I replied, "That' a 'no.'" I then informed him...

    I'm just glad you took a shot at an extremely large animal with a system that could not maintain a zero!

    Zeiss Conquest problems (I think)

    Damn bro, well, I guess you're hopefully gonna have some resolution one way or the other. However, I am frustrated for you simply because there was an obvious issue as observed by you and the KY-based Zeiss folks, but they then send it off to the ''masters'' in Germany, and magically, it was...
