    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I have two barrels from ES Tactical. The first is a 284 Winchester (Proof barrel) and the other is a 308 Winchester (K&P barrel). Both are tack drivers and turn around time was very reasonable; about 3 to 4 weeks.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Mine is almost ridiculously accurate. It's 26" and launches 77gr bullets at we'll over 2900 fps. You definitely want one of these.

    Factory Load Clone Recipes?

    The big commercial ammo makers use proprietary powders that are generally not available to home relaxers. Your best bet is to chronograph the factory load you wish to duplicate, use the same bullet and OAL and then try a couple different popular powders to duplicate the factory velocity by trial...

    Desert tech no way!

    The A2 conversion kit (which includes a barrel with extension, bolt and magazine) is the newest iteration with a few improvements over the A1. Lighter weight due to more fluting of both the barrel and bolt being the primary difference. The A2 conversion kit is backwards compatible with the A1...

    KRG Stoic review

    Mine is #60 with a Brux barrel. Best 5 shot groups are in the .2s with average groups in the high .3s. I've had many 3 shot and a couple 4 shot groups in the .1s, but haven't managed to get all 5 that tight yet (first pic shot just yesterday). It really likes Hornady 140gr ELD-Ms, either in...

    KRG Stoic review

    It just so happens that I have the exact configuration you described; SOTIC in 6.5 Creedmoor with an Athlon Cronus BTR mounted in a Spuhr ST-4701. I would love to see a professional review and compare how it matches up to my own experience and opinion.

    KRG chassis systems

    The Whiskey 3 is a top tier chassis. There may be others that are just as good, but I doubt you could call them better. It really just boils down to the specific features that are important to you. The large number of accessories available for the KRG chassis make it easy to customize to your...

    Desert tech no way!

    That's an awesome deal. I paid more than that for just my A1 chassis several years ago.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Mine ejects just fine. I don't recall a single time it didn't and I have at least 500 rounds through it. Accuracy is phenomenal. Five shot groups in the .2s are common and even a handful in the .1s with both hand loads and factory ammo. If I could only have one conversion for my DTA, it would...

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    Nice shooting. How much extra weight did the add-ons give you?

    Nice shooting! Eric definitely does nice work. He spun up a 284 Win conversion for me that's a real laser. I just ordered a 308 from him as well.

    Unlimited budget .308. What you choosing?

    Check out KRG's SOTIC rifle. It's basically an improved TRG-22. It may not have the pedigree of an AI, but it's a damn fine rifle that's extremely reliable and as accurate as the best out there.

    straight behind rifle

    When shooting prone, I find that strait behind the rifle places the butt of the rifle directly on my collar bone. Not a problem if shooting a light recoil rifle or only shooting a couple dozen rounds. But, if I'm shooting an f/tr match with a 308 (66 rounds in a match) where muzzle breaks are...

    SOLD 6mm Lapua Dasher Impact Precision Rifle .$4200

    I don't see a mag in your description or in the pics. Does a mag come with it? If so, what kind and does it have any sort of conversion to optimize it for the Dasher round? Have you tested it for reliable feed and ejection? Mag feeding BR based cartridges can be tricky. Just want to be certain...

    Spuhr mounts prone to cracking?

    I had a ring crack a couple years ago on one of my Spuhr mounts in the same spot as described. Spuhr sent me a new ring and did not seemed surprised about the crack. They seemed to know it was an existing issue.

    Cool burning powders

    I would guess that RL16 is near the top of the list in terms of heat. No other powder I've tried seems to heat up my barrel so fast.

    Ruger rpr with small primers, anyone having problems?

    Sent it to Gre-Tan rifles. Great work and had it back in less than 10 days. Very reasonable pricing too.

    Ruger rpr with small primers, anyone having problems?

    I had to have mine bushed. Cratering pretty bad with just moderate loads.

    Superformance 6.5cm?

    I tried it in mine. Excellent velocity but accuracy was only so, so.
