    Zero Compromise and Tangent Theta Toughness

    Anything mechanical can and will suffer failures at some point. The biggest difference is initial QC from the company, and how their customer sevice is. I've been running my Tangent for almost 3 years now (probably 7-10k rounds worth based off of my barrel pile) and havent had a single issue...

    ARC Magazine Spring (longer)

    My ARC with the 419 Extension doesnt have enough tension to pickup the last round in the mag. Which isnt really a huge deal because I can actually get 13 or 14 in it.

    Potential young .50BMG owner

    As long as you arent being a dumbfuck putting high pressure rounds through the cheapest gun you can do it with, you'll be fine. Thats just Darwin attempting to do the lord's work. Also, buy what you want, but a 50bmg is dumb for so many reasons.

    Is the Leica PRS worth looking at?

    Got to check one out last weekend at a match. The glass is really good, turrets and mechanics seem good, but the reticle is really thin/small for PRS use (IMO) It reminds me of how the S&B LRR reticle looks. I think its a good scope, but I think if you're aiming strictly for PRS usage there is...

    < $400 work bench?

    You can make your own for 400ish and be WAY better than anything you'll buy. This is 3 individual 4'x2' table/frames, fastened together with 2 8'x2' butchers block from Menards ($168ea) and 3 little cheapo book cases (or whatever they had there) stacked on top. 6ish ft of reloading space, and...

    Quit reloading altogether?

    Keep reloading for the savings, availability, and tunability. Stop worrying about the little tiny minute things that dont make a difference in a practical (non benchrest) application. Find a load with a good ES, that shoots 1/2" and go shoot it. If your time isnt worth the savings, buy factory...

    308

    1) Whats the extreme spread? Everyone likes to use SD because its a lower number. Run the velocity numbers for both loads in a calc with a 10mph or whatever wind and see if the extra velocity is worth it. You probably limited yourself out of the higher BC/heavier bullets with a 12tw barrel but...

    Make Tactical Great Again

    Why does everyone care so much about rifle weight? The current M40 is 19-20.5lbs. Is 20+/- lbs really "heavy" to people? What if someone is a 300lb body builder? Should we discuss relative weight? How much advantage/disadvantage is there between an 18 and 22lb rifle? IMO if people want to...

    Kraft Data Driven Training: Try This

    Still been hitting this hard when I go to the range for practice. spun a new barrel on and took the opportunity breaking it in to fireform some brass and get some practice in. Easily my best and most consistent groups ever. All the random ones at the bottom are speed check, cleaning, and...

    Why do we love the MK12 so much?

    The looks of it with the carbon handguard, the AEM brake/collar and suppressor. The military history is also cool but less important to me. As far as being clone correct and costing a fuckton, I think thats dumb to do. Is there a more capable 556 rifle you could build? Sure, on paper at 100y...

    Muzzle brake killing groups

    I've never had it happen on a bolt gun, but GOD DAMN does a surefire brake on my MK12 wreck my groups. Tried it back to back 3 times and shooting without the brake split the group size in half. Bare muzzle or suppressed. MPA, Gen3 LB, 419 Sidewinder on my bolt guns all shoot great with the same...

    How do you practice for PRS?

    You can do a TON with dry practice. Working on your movements and being as efficient as possible, working on setup, getting into/out of position, etc. Thats the PRS-gamey part of it that you need to practice. Once you get that part down that experienced guys have an uncountable amount of reps...
