    He’s just a little Guy! Let’s see the little 223 trainers!

    I have an ARC Nucleus with a PVA 20" barrel in an HS stock. Shoots like a laser. Best part of .223 is shooting bulk 55 grain Fed or Win I bought on a shelf for $.30 a round out to 400 yards on steel. It feels like the last reasonably priced ammo on the shelf. Locally they want $100/20 for 6.5...

    Blaser R93 HHS (375 H&H and 308 Winchester) specialty pistol

    I want that in .223. .375, not so much.

    Whats a "good" 100 yard group size?

    Rule #1 of surviving on Sniper's Hide is to NEVER directly engage with 308Pirate. He will drag you down to his level of ineptitude and beat you with experience every time. You have to fight him at an oblique angle, sort of like you have enraged midgets attacking you on each flank, and you have...

    77, 75, 69 vs 62 gr 5.56 choices?

    62 or 64 grain bonded, ESPECIALLY if you are using a short barrel. If you are using 16" +, then almost anything is going to perform well, if you take barriers out of the mix. You have such great choices, such as the Gold Dot, that there is no reason to even think about "match" anything for...

    Whats a "good" 100 yard group size?

    I don't understand this. I believe both methods measure the exact same thing, which is variance in bullet dispersion from point of aim. Yes some people shoot groups with a few MOA of offset so they don't ruin their aiming point, but fundamentally both methods capture the same data point, which...

    Whats a "good" 100 yard group size?

    Anything under 1.25 inches, consistently, is excellent, incredible even. Rimfire is a very dangerous place to look at your best groups as "whats possible" as opposed to an extreme end of the probability bell curve. If you want to chase lot numbers of Center-X or Midas, sure, you might be able to...

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Has anyone with one of these screwed on a shouldered Nucleus or Archimedes barrel in .308 bolt family with AICS mags and had luck? I was put off by needing all new barrels, but I don't plan on using a AW mags on this. Trying to decide if I'm hunting down a used Nuke or if I can just order one of...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    Anyone tried threading at 5/8 instead of 1/2, and using an adapter?

    To Zero Stop or Not

    Considering every FBI Sniper rifle has a scope with a Zero Stop on it, this sounds like a bunch of BS from the OP. What course? Who were the instructors? And clearly that advice, if it was actually given, is so ridiculous it doesn't even merit a post here.

    Are the fast twist barrels a thing of the past?

    The main point of fast twist on centerfire (bullet design/weight aside) was for transonic performance. That may very well be doubly true with .22 RF, but most of us are intentionally shooting subsonic. I wouldn't be surprised if 1:12 really shined at distance with .22 RF match rounds starting...

    Mag holders for Tikka T1x?

    I'll make one for the KRG in a few weeks. I have the same need and would like the be able to carry a spare on the rifle.

    Has anybody heard of aftermarket support of Savage's Impulse?

    A lot of people thought there was a market for a US made, affordable, straight pull. Maybe there is, maybe being in a Savage footprint is a turn off. Gun Tests just reviewed it, very positively, and noted that they were able to run it about 15% faster than comparable PRS style actions. My...

    ARC Rimfire Action or Conversion Possibility ?

    I bet no one has told him that the real engineering challenge isn't AW mags in a 700 repeater, but a slick and sexy rimfire in a 700 footprint... We just need to plant the seed...

    Back stop at home shooting range

    Crossties are great for framing. 300 WM will start going right through them if you don't put dirt in front like others have mentioned. You'll have to repair them over time if you shoot into the ties, but you could just cover them in plywood as they start getting busted.. I've used tires and...

    Larue lower blowout

    Uh, show me a LMT complete lower for $200, or complete LMT Large Frame for $1500. I love LMT as much as the next guy, but even if you could find it, you are paying more than twice what Larue is asking.

    Your PVA prefit experience

    Anyone have any luck with getting PVA to cut their "CDM" sales barrels for the Nucleus? They have every other action offered, but not any ARC builds. Was going to pull the trigger on another barrel.

    FBI Sniper Rifles

    There were two "DMR" setups that I'm aware of, and are in use in the field. First is a 14.5 Colt M4 Carbine Barrel with a Geissele rail (not sure which one, I think it was longer than the normal agent or SWAT handguards). These didn't really move the needle much in terms of delivering more...

    One Rifle For Everything

    Well, you should be able to sell your Tikka T3X in 6.5 Creed for about what you paid for it...
