    Seekins SP10 barrel swap

    I was going to get more time on the gun before I posted anything, but I'm impressed enough that I thought I'd give a preliminary update. I took the new Craddock Precision 6.5 barrel(Bartlein blank) out today to 775 yards. I got my initial zero which was under an inch, but not crazy impressive...

    Sp10M thoughts and user experience

    I don't have any time with the M variant. But my regular old SP10 in .308 is a tack driver and has been reliable. To be fair, I don't use it in a duty role. Just competition, and for fun. I would buy and M variant without hesitation, just keep in mind that you can't change barrels yourself.

    Pressure signs with .30 cal 178 ELD-m in .308 Win

    This all good info guys! Thank you. I’ve used IMR 4166 for a while with 168’s, 175’s and a lot of 155’s, but never had these issues so I figured what difference does a design change and 3 grains make? Apparently a lot. I got 4166 back when people were stabbing their own mothers for varget and...

    Gunsmithing Brownells disappointing service after placing order

    I live 1 hours away from Brownells. I used to be able to order a product at 8am, get the cheapest shipping and have it show up the next day. They changed their shipping options and now the cheapest option takes me 3-4 days because it goes down to Kansas City and sits for a day. I don't know...

    Rifle Scopes Zero Compromise Optic update

    When I spoke with Mile High Mike last week he said they can't keep the 5-27's in stock. They're a great optic for PRS style shooters or anyone wanting that level of scope.

    Rifle Scopes Zero Compromise Optic update

    @gebhardt02 and anyone else who cares: ZCO, you make an awesome product! I used my shiny new ZC420 with MPCT1 reticle at @Lowlight 's class last weekend and love it. Everything I want and nothing I don't need. Made consistent hits all the way to a mile and the zero held true. I'll be...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns LE pistol quals

    As several have mentioned, a qualification course by it's very nature, is a minimum standard to check a box. However, you can make the course of fire more challenging. Double the distance or cut the time in half. Then, do both. Then make it triple the distance and half the time, etc. If...

    AI Switch Barrel Repeatability

    That's interesting to me. I have noticed the occasional 1 to 2 round shift that @ShtrRdy mentioned, but in my experience it has been after cleaning a barrel. Do you have any hypothesis what the change was for you when you stopped noticing the shift?

    Bipod

    I will not attempt to speak for Frank, but I have both the Elite Iron and the CAL. My preference for my style of shooting is the CAL. The Elite Iron is great for prone shooting, but a bit cumbersome for practical/tactical shooting like PRS etc, in my opinion. I'm a thinner guy so the standard...
