    KAC sr25 or LMT mws or LaRue obr?

    Re: KAC sr25 or LMT mws or LaRue obr? How do the KAC SR-25 EM and EMC compare to each other? Is one more accurate then the other? What are the differences in them besides the obvious? Assuming you don't own a KAC suppressor, will the carbine fit a reflex suppressor (SureFire or AAC)?

    Rifle Scopes What range needs a canted rail with .223 bolt gun?

    I have a .223 Remington model 700 that needs optics. Starting out, I'm having the barrel threaded for my suppressor at ~24 inches. I have considered going to either 16 or 18 inches. Using NATO spec loads from 55gr up to the heavier 77 grain match rounds, what ranges start to need a 20MOA...

    LMT MWS barrel threads....

    Re: LMT MWS barrel threads.... How long is the threading? It may be safer to send the barrel off and have the threads matched to your suppressor specs.

    Caliber ideas for a 16" barrel

    Re: Caliber ideas for a 16" barrel Smaller case volume rounds will work well. People shooting 6.5 Grendel bolt actions seem happy with their 16 inch barrels. The 300 AAC Blackout is the new kid on the block but, also holds a lot of promise for what you want. A 338 Federal holds promise if...

    building a 223 rifle to shoot cheaper

    Re: building a 223 rifle to shoot cheaper With a 223AI, what's the difference in a 1x7 and 1x8 barrel? Does one really work better with heavier bullets versus the lighter stuff? TIA, Sid p.s. I would be looking at 62gr on the light side and 77-80gr on the heavy side which would make a 1x8...

    Rifle Scopes Hensoldt Tactical ZF 6-24x72

    I don't see this scope mentioned much on the 'hide and I'm curious why. Is the low end of the magnification too high? Does Hensoldt not offer good reticles? What am I missing? Is it just too heavy and large for practical use inside a 1,000 yards? I see lots of love for S&B but, with this...

    Lothar Walther

    Re: Lothar Walther Have you picked a gunsmith yet? I would start there and ask them for recommendations first. Your gunsmith should know the local barrel market best and know what the locals are using with best results. Lothar Walther certainly carries a great reputation with their barrels.

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint 3X with an H-1/T-1?

    I'm looking at putting an Aimpoint H-1 on my SBR. Do I need an aftermarket mount to get them to align? Or, are they even compatible with each other? Would I be better off with an M3 which while (~) the same cost is heavier? TIA, Sid

    Rifle Scopes Scope weight help reccomendations

    Re: Scope weight help reccomendations The robustness of scopes meant for military usage adds weight that many of us really don't need. Large glass and extra glass elements are heavy too. How much elevation adjustment do we really need? It really depends on what you are going to do with...

    Rifle Scopes Optics for a 6.5 Grendel AR

    Re: Optics for a 6.5 Grendel AR Fixed 10 at a 100 yards is like looking at the world through a straw. A good 3-12 would let you shoot close with a good F.O.V. and still allow the round to stretch it's leg with a good sight picture.

    Gunsmithing Mounting a pre-fit barrel to a stock Rem. action?

    Re: Mounting a pre-fit barrel to a stock Rem. action? Thanks everyone! I have a 1x12 rifle and need to go 1x9 or better for heavier rounds so I don't ding my suppressor if someone slips a heavy match round in without me knowing. I also need the barrel turned down so, I'm looking for a...

    Gunsmithing Mounting a pre-fit barrel to a stock Rem. action?

    Can a non-gunsmith properly headspace and mount a factory take-off barrel to a stock Remington action? What tools would I need and where should I buy them? Or, am I better off sending off to a qualified gunsmith?
