    Accuracy and Upper Receivers.

    Great results so far redneckbmxer24 I hope Seekins gets you your upper soon! It might be interesting to try a free floated bolt gun too as a control in the same test and see what the results are. Anyone else is still welcome to share their experiences with POI shift on ARs.

    Which Cartridge for the 7mm 180gr ELD-M?

    Thanks for all the advice so far, D_TROS that is an awesome setup you have there. osu92 did you try 280 factory loads in your 280ai? It just seems the 280 are about 1/2 the price of the 280AI factory loads. LRShooter101 that is a good set of questions and I'll answer them. I'm interested in...

    Which Cartridge for the 7mm 180gr ELD-M?

    I tend not to baby my barrels. Looking at the .280AI, does anyone know what kind of accuracy could be expected with factory regular .280 ammo? I've heard both good and bad when fire forming, really unsure what to expect.

    Say what you want about Savages...but here's mine

    The new (2018?) accustocks seem to have rudimentary cheek and LOP adjustments as seen here. Not sure if they've made any other changes, but if the bedding block has stayed the same it looks like Savage's version of the Magpul Hunter stock basically. My understanding of both is that the bedding...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I keep reading that Tikka uses the same action for long and short action cartridges, they just change bolt heads. Is that only for the T3x, or also for the CTRs? In other words is it possible to convert a CTR to 280 or 7mm Rem Mag for example? Or do you need to get the T3x (non-CTR) for that?

    Which Cartridge for the 7mm 180gr ELD-M?

    Well Hornady isn't acknowledging the problems posted in that thread via email, so I guess I'm going to wait and see how it shakes out with the OP over there before pulling the trigger. In terms of usable barrel life, I've heard with factory ammo the WSM and 7mm Rem Mag are around 1000 where...

    Which Cartridge for the 7mm 180gr ELD-M?

    Great info so far. The 7mm Rem Mag does seem like the best option but the link above does have me a little nervous at high velocities at a fast twist. Maybe 280AI is the solution if that problem persists, I may wait on the response from Hornady in the linked thread. It would suck to build a...

    Which Cartridge for the 7mm 180gr ELD-M?

    Stop. Please read the whole OP before responding. The relatively new Hornady 7mm 180gr ELD-M has a G1 of .816 and a G7 of .411 when used in a 1:7.5 twist barrel. That is staggering. To get a higher BC (in a non-solid bullet) you need to step up about 100grs to a 285gr ELDM in .338. I want...

    Why SBR when you can bullpup?

    I'm getting almost double that with mine at 100y, what load and what shooting position? Pics would be great, would love to try to replicate. I also agree the recoil impulse on the RDB is shockingly good, only a touch less controllable than my tuned 16in ARs with AGBs, and they both have a...

    AR-15 .223 Barrel choices

    Pusher591 has the right advice. CLE or Craddock to fit your budget.

    Say what you want about Savages...but here's mine

    What is the difference between the Choate Tactical and their new accustock? Seems like both have an aluminium bedding block, so why pay more for the Choate?

    Why SBR when you can bullpup?

    I mean, you can get the K&M M17S with an ELF trigger which is pretty fantastic. And the RDBs is shockingly good for a bullpu (at least from the few I've used). In fact I'd say the RDBs is as good as a Hiperfire EDT but with more takeup. And the aftermarket options for the Tavor/X95 and AUG...

    Accuracy and Upper Receivers.

    redneckbmxer24 still very excited for your results. If anyone else on this board has experience with POI shift issues or wants to do a quick test to see if they can get their upper+handguard combo to shift, that would be excellent. The more data we can gather the better.

    280 ai

    I think 280AI is going to get even more popular now that Hornady has their 180gr ELDM out. The G1 BC is .812 using a 1:7.5 twist, and supposedly they terminally perform down to about 1300fps. At 2900fps, that means it is terminally effective out past 1400m and beats the wind better than...

    Why SBR when you can bullpup?

    Bullpup advantages: 1.) Longer barrel in shorter rifle. So slightly better terminal ballistics and less harsh on suppressors. 2.) No fucking around with the ATF. AR15 SBR Build Advantages: 1.) Significantly more accurate. 2.) Better ergos. 3.) Better trigger. 4.) Quieter to the shooter...

    Accuracy and Upper Receivers.

    Red_SC it sounds like from your post that you had experienced some POI shift when not using those uppers, is that the case?

    Tikka T3x 300WSM Stocks?

    I'm looking for an aftermarket stock similar to the KRG Bravo for a Tikka T3x lite in 300WSM. However I cannot find ANY stocks the explicitly say they are made for the larger Tikka actions outside of on CF stock on Stocky's. Anyone know any stocks that would fit the larger Tikka action?

    Accuracy and Upper Receivers.

    Very interesting, this is what I hear and have seen personally as well. Seems very hit and miss. Maybe something like a MUR-A1 just makes it even less likely? Anyone else have thoughts/experience please post up!
