Thanks for the intel, glad to hear we have a good guy and talented shooter. I'll keep an eye out for Bryan. My Am has a GAP rifle, so I'm sure he'll be thrilled to shooting with a GAP team member.
I was hoping to see a Miculek, Danny Horner, Philip Velayo, or another top shooter on the list, and squad with them. No such luck. I did squad with the Hornady team though, so I am excited to see what I can learn from the pros.
Got linked up with my amateur as well. He seems like a good guy. We are shooting an outlaw match this weekend to get to know each other and our shooting/communication styles.
I didn't weigh it before I installed it, but it wasn't bad. It certainly feels lighter than my other rifles with 20 inch barrels, because the weight is distributed more rearward.

For sale is a Vortex 50% Off Certificate. A great way to save some cash on your next scope purchase. I was going to use it, but decided on Nightforce.

This happened to me recently. I was forced to switch projectile types from traditional jacketed bullets to copper alloy monoliths. I cleaned the barrel, loaded up a mag, and my 1/2 MOA rifle immediately turned into a 1 3/4 MOA or worse rifle. It took 50 rounds and another cleaning for it to...
Is anyone here a metalworker by trade? I am not, and I’m going to attempt it but I’d also like some pointers on material selection and bending technique. Also, it’s going to be done by hand tools, as I don’t have a press.
Has anyone ever made a mag loading tool for the SRS? I beat the crap out of my hands while constantly loading cartridges into my mags this weekend at a PRS match. I'm envisioning something akin to the plastic tools that come with most single feed pistol mags. If not, I might go grab some sheet...
