    Tac Ops Rifles

    Merry Christmas from way out west. Don’t forget, Tac Ops rifles are seasonally appropriate!

    35 Whelen, A great round being forgotten.

    It would be amazing to wake up one day and see that Hornady makes .358 bullets to match the .338s - a 200 SST, 230 ELD-X and 265 ELD-X in particular. We’ll never get an ELD-M of course, and more is the pity. Lots of overlap between the two bores, weight wise, the .358 is a “truer” medium bore in...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    The difference between you and 95% of shooters is self awareness, not skill or experience;-).

    A Lemon Story (Sabatti Rover Tactical)

    My personal philosophy is that if a rifle won’t shoot right with factory ammo, it’s not worth hand loading for it. That might be because I’m not a miracle worker at the loading bench and I’ve never seen a 2 MOA factory gun turn into a sub MOA shooter with hand loads. I’ve had my share of...

    A Lemon Story (Sabatti Rover Tactical)

    My take - you got a normal factory rifle with a normal factory barrel. If you keep shooting 10 rd groups, you’re not likely to get any “when I do my part” worthy results for self deception. If you send it back, Bergara is going to fire 3 shot groups - I think the protocol call for 3 x 3. If/as...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    Nowhere - I ordered it from Long Range Supply after I couldn't get an order in with Euro. On reticles... you could do a lot worse than a March FML converted to a German #1 (remove the top post, point the others).

    Manners / Tac Ops Possible Collaboration Build

    Part of me wonders if I can replace the thumbwheel on my Delta-51 with that recessed head allen bolt. Quick adjustment versus lower profile. It would definitely make it easier to get my cheek pad/stock pack on and situated. No reflection on Mike or Terry, the cheek piece is rock solid and...

    Tac Ops Rifles

    My notes say Krieger #5... but, that doesn't seem to jive with what's on the Krieger page.

    Manners / Tac Ops Possible Collaboration Build

    If I didn't already have a Delta-51... and I wasn't already waiting on my KMW OPS-51. ;-)

    Stainless vs Carbon rifles

    In general, I'll take stainless over carbon if it's an option.

    TAC OPS / KMW Collaboration

    I volunteer as tribute! ;-) I don't know that it's a possibility, but I've no issues with being last in line.

    TAC OPS / KMW Collaboration

    I can’t even take delivery of mine until mid-Jan; no worries on my end.

    Tac Ops Rifles

    I'd be more concerned with bending the rail "lips" than damaging the texturing, depending on how much torque you use on the fasteners. I think I bought a tiny ARCA rail section none the less... don't rememer where from... and some hardware. I'm gonna play around at some point and figure out...

    Larue lower blowout

    I remember waiting for my last LaRue lower… took quite a while and then it failed catastrophically without firing a single round. Sold the replacement with the rest of the rifle to a member here… haven’t looked at a LaRue anything since. That lower, a mount so out of spec it could not even hold...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    I'm not a huge fan of copper monos, but when I have tested Barnes VOR-TX ammo, it's been high quality. My limited experience indicates as good or better than advertised velocity, <15 fps SD for 10 shot strings, and above average precision. That said, their LRX bullets are about average for...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    I ordered one of these. I'm going to move my March FX 4.5-28 to my KM OPS-51, the FX 1.5-15 is going on my Delta-51. However, that's still a few months out. I've also got a ZP5 and Razor LHT hanging around without a home already. Ironically, the Minox is destined for the lightest rifle...may...

    NEW M-BRACE Scope Rings from American Rifle Company

    He did say he updated them for looks... ;-) I'm one for two on M-Brace rings. By that I mean I had one set that worked right off the bat once the scope was pressed into the bottom half (and it is tight down there), and the other set settled in after the rifle was dropped several times (on...

    Teach Me About "Tactical" Lever Guns

    Like so much of what I see, the aesthetic does absolutely nothing for me... and, in some cases, is repellent. Given the absolute jackassery I now see in the CCW crowd, there's no question that the gun community seems to have lost the GWOT by insisting that every personally owned weapon needs to...

    KRG Sotic...the never ending wait.

    My SOTIC has been a nice work horse rifle for me. I got tired of blowing up the KRG SOTIC thread though. I shot an F-class match with it for fun a couple years ago now. It's a well-travelled rifle - rounds down range throughout much of the south eastern U.S. My Dad is keeping it warm for me...

    Tac Ops Rifles

    I like how Mike’s modesty compelled him to put .001” on that proof target.
