    another beginner/entry level rifle buy/build? RPR or something else.

    I have an rpr. The are decent, but the options become limited. I think the mpa production rifle is pretty nice and would give more flexibility and a better result in the end. If that’s beyond what you want. I’d get a tikka 24” 6.5 Creedmoor.

    Bergara BMP or something else?

    I got one a few years ago that became my sons rifle. It didn’t shoot factory ammo very well or very consistently. One day it would do 3/4moa and the next it was 1 1/4. This was with Hornady precision hunter. I started handloading and got it to a consistent 1/2 - 3/4. We also put it in a KRG...

    Top 5 Rounds

    For one round hunting and match shooting, I like my 6.5 Addiction. 6.5x284 velocity in a short action. It is a bit much for match shooting, but gets the job done and can still get 12 in an ARC mag with 419 base. picking 5 22-great training and small game 6GT-seems like a good round for...

    Tuners and Barrel Harmonics

    I recently got one of the kinetic security solutions tuners strictly to see if there was anything to it. I had been having some consistency issues with my 338 WM. I tested 2 revolutions. The changes in group size and location were obvious. I ended up getting an improvement in both group size...

    Worth Upgrading WOA SPR barrel to Krieger?

    My 3/4-1 moa AR does just fine at 500 when I've taken it out. I can easily hit the 2-4 MOA steel that I shoot. If you want to shoot tactical rifle matches that mix in some precision, then you might start to see some benefit. But for recreation at 100yds, save your money and buy more ammo.

    6.5 Addiction (Swedemoor)

    Interesting, I went back and looked at my notes. I have a Retumbo node at almost the same spot (a bit lower) with the 147 and well within mag length (2.925"). However, my notes show it was only going 2841 (24" 8tw barrel and CCI BRs). When I went back and retested it for accuracy, it wasn't...

    6.5 Addiction (Swedemoor)

    MattSplat, Correct with water I was getting very poor results. I also had to space the die .010 off the shell holder, I tried more (actually significantly more, but started getting a line in the neck I didn't like the looks of, but the shoulder definition was much better after full length...

    6.5 Addiction (Swedemoor)

    Couple months ago I ordered up a hydro form die from Whidden. I had it made from the JGS reamer print. I wanted to save my barrel 2-300 rounds of wear from fire forming. Considering I use this for PRS style shooting and most all the rest of the LR shooting I do as well, I plan on about 12-1500...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Recommend me a competition pistol

    Since you said multi-gun matches. Look at the rules. I pull my G34 out for 2 gun matches, because the little thingy on the trigger counts as safe when I have to dump the gun in a bucket. For USPSA (CO and production)/steel/pistol only matches, I shoot CZ and would recommend that all day...

    rimfire Tuner / Harrell

    Take a look at the kinetic security solutions. I pre-ordered one of the 1/2" thread ones and have my 5/8th should get here later this week. I'm not sure when I'll get to take it out and test it though. But the thing about this version is no extra machining is required. If it is threaded for a...

    SAKO TRG-22

    I just switched the side the sling hook was on and used it to secure the flush cup on the proper side.

    Weight of Tikka CTR 20” w/ KRG Bravo?

    both. I find the stock to be narrower, and less rigid. I think it is sufficiently rigid and don't get me wrong, I wouldn't hesitate to buy or use a bravo, I have. In fact, I would like to find a way to put a bravo stock and forend on my TRG to lighten it up a bit. But I will also acknowledge...

    Weight of Tikka CTR 20” w/ KRG Bravo?

    I have several bravos and a TRG. They do not feel exactly alike. The bravo is noticeably thinner and lighter. I think my MCM A5 is closer than the bravo. The bravo is cheaper, and more easily installed and modified, and i like it, but ....I don’t think it “feels just like” the TRG.

    Problems with 6.5 Grendel (Accuracy & cycling issues) Need Help

    With the marks on your case heads, and the profile shot looking like you are trying to create a "belted" mag, I would dial the loads back significantly. You could check the headspace also with a no go gauge.

    Rifle Scopes Clearest 56mm glass vortex Gen2 or S&B?

    If you look hard enough online, you can find some low light testing, which is always subjective. If I go to a match, my vortex PST Gen II is good enough, my S&B PMII is better, but I could make all the shots I needed with my PST G2. I was shooting a 7WSM and a 6.5x47 a few years ago. The 6.5...

    Rifle Scopes Clearest 56mm glass vortex Gen2 or S&B?

    I have looked through both. I didn't buy the vortex gen 2 razor but I checked it out. I have a PST gen 2 that started on my .22 and after getting a strike eagle, that is on my 22, and the PST is on my RPR that was scopeless. I have acquired 3 S&Bs. I like the glass much better than the Razor...

    Magpul PRS Gen 3 too long on your RPR (or any other chassis)?

    I cut mine almost back to the flush cup and it was still a bit longer than I would have liked. I went back to the stock rpr buttstock. I have a gen 2 on my AR10 and have no issues. Even added the thicker recoil pad on that with no issues.

    Cheapest 6, 6.5, and .308 bullets for practice?

    If you buy the 2000 count eldm and hit a sale at brownells or mid south. They will come in at 27-28 cents each. That’s become my 6.5 everything bullet. Practice, match, and hunting.

    which budget accurate 6.5

    My son had the Bergara BMP, I won it in a raffle. We swapped the stock for a KRG Bravo and he likes it much better. I have gone shooting with a friend who has a Tikka and spending money, I'd get the Tikka.
