    6mm max

    Price mostly. Hodge has their forends (which Hodge farms out and SOLGW uses) and alloys and tight tolerance. It’s nice for building a good, traditional AR that’s not fugly as hell. The only thing Sons is doing is sourcing Armet bolts and laser texturing hand guards. I’ve heard they have...

    6mm max

    The guy that turned STI to Staccato is at SOLGW now calling shots. They’ve grow substantially. I know some aren’t happy about how they went from a “good but affordable work gun” to offerings that rival KAC, Hodge, HK. They have some cool parts. But they aren’t the only game in town. No...

    Geissele GFR 6mm ARC 20" Bbl DDC Stratomatch

    In the last 18 years, I've said that no less than 6 times...went large frame and reality always came crashing back. When set up for success...same weight as my AI bolt gun (n) Slower velocity than my shorty bolt guns (n) Same accuracy as my small frames but no less than 2x the price, 2x the...

    Not what l expected

    I know the 69 grain Fed GMM is supposed to be in .223 the equivalent to 168gr Fed GMM in 308...in that if a gun can't shoot that, it might not shoot period. Don't know if it's a post-covid QC issue, but in picking up some 69gr FGMM cheap lately, it's been rather disappointing compared to its...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 2-10 preorders open

    420 is My favorite glass in the stable. Initially I thought the 2x was useful, but 2.5-12.5x would have been a better use of their time if not 3-15. I’d have happily given another 1” and 1/4 lb for a 3-15x42 or 44mm from ZCO. Illumination doesn’t save the 2x as the lowlight setting limits...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 2-10 preorders open

    Had one, but took it down as thoughts/opinions continue to develop and change the more I use it and the wider array of things I put it through

    Not what l expected

    Who made the barrel? What chamber? What ammo specifically? Were you chasing a bunch of different bullet brands down the bore? Brand new barrel or seasoned?

    What's the most Tactical Timmy caliber for a 16.5" barreled short action?

    That makes more sense...I was like: "powdahound" is right...dude must be stuffin' it in to get that number out of a 16.5" pipe. 2725-2750 with 130 Bergers puts me in a very nice place with my shorty. The wind never stops here and this rig is easier to push than my old 24" 308 slinging 185...

    What's the most Tactical Timmy caliber for a 16.5" barreled short action?

    140 doing 2850 out of a 16.5.... damn homey! I've got a Gladius in 6.5CM and I gotta work to get 130gr up in the high 2700's

    DANIEL DEFENSE MFR & GEISSELE HANDGUARDS

    Granted this off-shoot of the DD RIS (which has 6x larger bolts instead of 4x) is more time consuming to put on, it's not that bad. I had the DDM4 (quad version of the MFR) rail on a Mk12 build and on a few other guns. The Mk12 especially never gave me any problems with torque/impact shift...

    Prism Scope Field of View

    I ran an OS4x for quite some time and I'd have to agree, the image/glass/reticle was phenomenal. And to be fair, the NF lpvos (even the ATACR) while quality optics comparatively lack the optical forgiveness of some of their LPVO peers, but the point is still valid. That said, the issues most...

    TacSol Owyhee .22 WMR take-down bolt action. Cool idea, comes with 3x 9-round Ruger mags (2x will fit in the buttstock storage) and works like a ruger take-down but is a bolt action. Light and accurate. Picatinny scope rail installed. Adjustable fiber optic sights $975 shipped UPS to your...
