    308 ar bang for the buck

    Take a look at Rock River Arms. Solid, reliable and accurate rifles at a very reasonable price.

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    How do you like that scope? I have been trying to convince myself that I need one of those.

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    As far as I know, he is not. He mentioned earlier that the action is very expensive to produce. There are so many moderately priced actions on the market right now that The SOTIC would probably seem overpriced in comparison even though it's a very high quality piece.

    Best Bolt-Action Tactical Sniper Rifle for the money?

    Look for a lightly used TRG-42 or DTA in the Firearms PX section.

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

    I have two barrels from SAC (both Bartleins) and one from ES Tactical (Proof steel). They all are tack drivers. I haven't tried DMR yet but have heard good things about their work. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

    Beautiful! Congrats! Try the Hornady 140gr ELD-m first if you shoot factory ammo. If you reload, 140 ELD-m with 42.4gr H4350 with an OAL of 2.808 and you will probably save yourself some time, money and barrel wear on load development.

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

    When DT first released the SRS, there was huge excitement and a flood of orders. The company was backlogged for quite some time and started cutting some corners on QC in an attempt to catch up. We all know how we can be as customers. We want our new toys and we want them NOW! I watched and...

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    These rifles do seem a little picky on ammo but shoot lights out once you find what they like. My TRG seemed to shoot everything well. At least the barrel in my sotic cleans up very easily. No copper at all. My TRG was a copper magnet when it had the factory barrel and a nightmare to clean. I...

    If Mile High is still out of stock, try Euro Optics. That's where I got mine.

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    I'm pretty partial to 7mms myself. I have two 284 Wins and they both hammer. Ones a single shot, so mag length is irrelevant. The other is a conversion for my DTA, so plenty of mag length there even for the longest bullets. With the SOTIC, I think your choices would be pretty limited since KRG...

    Why the delay?

    Desert tech blowout. Holy crap!

    This is correct. Shortest barrel you can run with the full length handguard is 22".

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    I was able to beat the coming winter storm and get another range session in, this time using all hand loads. Also was also able to get some good chronograph data. My chronograph actually works much better on overcast days. The top row of targets were all shot with VVN550 and 123gr SMKs...

    That raises a few questions... Did it ship that way? Does it affect the bolt throw and/or lock-up? Could that be affecting accuracy?

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    Interesting... I'm surised the Hornady 140 eldm was so slow and that they didn't do better. I didn't have much luck with the Sierra 140s when I tried them in my hand loads but I loaded some more, this time .005 off the lands to see if they do any better. Also loaded up some more of the...

    Thoughts on Sako TRG42 338LM

    I have a TRG-22 in 260 Remington. It wa a limited edition (only 200 made) factory rifle offered exclusively through Eurooptics. I know you were specifically asking about the 338 Lapua which I don't have, but I can tell you this. The TRG is the best rifle I have ever owned and I've owned a bunch...

    New barrels usually speed up after the first 100 rounds or so. Hopefully, this will be true for yours. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    Your velocities do seem low. I haven't chrono'd mine yet, but I will give it shot on my next outing, if possible. My chronograph doesn't do very well when the sun is at a low angle, which is pretty much all the time this time of year. I'm surprised you didn't see better results from the Sig...

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    Based on the freebore and distance to lands stamped on on your barrel, it looks like both our barrels were probably cut with the same reamer. By the way, the 8T marking means it's an 8 twist. Good chance that whatever shoots well in mine will also shoot well in yours, and vise versa.

    Kinetic Research Group SOTIC?

    The cheek piece has little rubber o-rings on the posts. Once you determine the correct height, just roll the o-rings to that point on the posts and the height is now repeatable whenever you remove and reinstall the cheek piece. I also have the ST-4701 as far forward on the receiver as possible...
