    Any reason to buy a KRG X-Ray over the Bravo?

    More potential for adjustability with the xray. Cheek piece on xray can go forward and backwards, and with the addition of another part can go side to side as well. Recoil pad can move up and down on xray. Can be done on bravo, but requires an additional part. Buttstock can accept bag riders on...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I called the ATF for the first time ever today. I do my best to be patient and leave them alone, but with all the weird stuff going on lately I was curious. Two form 4 individuals. 1st had check cashed on January 5th '19, it's pending. 2nd had check cashed July 5th '19, it was approved sometime...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Shopping FFP

    Gotcha, if you are ok with the mil-r reticle, i would take the atacr and not look back. Some people don't like it, but i have it in a 2.5-10 and don't mind it. I would prefer mil-c, but it's not unusable like some people imply. Nx8 has some cool features, but there are trade offs...search dark...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Shopping FFP

    Why mil-r in atacr and mil-c in nxs? You can get mil-c in atacr if that's what you want. Also, nxs scopes are second focal plane. The new nx8 scopes are first focal plane. If atacr is in your budget, i wouldn't even look at nxs/nx8. There is nothing wrong with them, but the atacr is a step up...

    Rifle Scopes NF 2.5-10X42 any other options?

    I have one riding on my AR 10 308. I love that little scope. Fits a nice niche for me, and i have always been surprised there isn't more competition for it. I wish nightforce would update it or make a similar atacr, but the direction they are going with the nx8 line doesn't give me hope.

    85 RDF, 224 Valkyrie jump/COAL?

    I got a box of 85 grain nosler RDF to try in my valkyrie. I plan to do an OCW workup, but was just wondering if anyone has found a good load with these. Specifically, how much jump do they tend to like?

    Rifle Scopes Lightweight PRS Scope Options

    There are good scopes for prs that are <=30 oz. Might as well save all the weight you can. Sure, it's just a few ounces, but a few ounces here and a few ounces there add up. Might as well get the titanium action too for the same reason. You have plenty of money to work with, so get what you...

    Adjustable gas block tuning

    That's good to know. Something I've always wondered.

    Adjustable gas block tuning

    Yeah, me too. I use superlative arms gas blocks, so you have the option of restricting gas or bleeding excess gas out the front. I'm going to try both ways.

    Adjustable gas block tuning

    Ok, so what is the best way to tune an adjustable gas block? My goal is best possible precision/accuracy. Do you go by least gas possible that locks the bolt back on the last round, or do you go by brass ejection pattern?

    What cal trainer for max 700yds

    223 for cheap ammo. 308 for recoil management. Also, what was said already...smaller targets and/or more challenging positions. Something i like to do is, using my reticle only, guess target range and dope then spot my miss and make a quick correction. You can also put yourself on a timer or do...

    Ultimatum Precision's upcoming Tikka footprint action

    I'm interested in this because i have a tikka in a krg w-3 and I've been thinking of upgrading. Would be nice to be able to upgrade actions when it is time to rebarrel and just drop it in my existing chassis.

    Carbine -vs- rifle buffer length for precision large frame AR?

    Yep. A5 extension with standard size carbine buffers and an armalite spring. You have a lot of flexibility with this setup because you can experiment with different buffer weights to tune the rifle.

    What bourbon is better/sweeter than Makers Mark?

    Not technically bourbon because it's not aged in new barrels, but Michter's American Whiskey is fantastic. I second four roses single barrel/small batch. I'll also add Basil Hayden's to the list. I tend to like bourbons with a higher rye content though, so if you like the wheatier ones, you may...

    Am i doing this correctly? (MRAD help)

    Is your scope first focal plane or second? If it's first focal plane, a mil is a mil no matter what magnification you are on. If it's second, and it's a true mil at 12x like you stated, then at 6x each mil in the reticle will cover more target, so it's actualy two mils from dot to dot. At 24x...

    AR15 Upper Build or Buy?

    I'm liking 224 valkyrie, but I've never had a grendel so i can't comment on them. I switched my spr from an 18" 223 wylde to an 18" valkyrie. The valkyrie is a noticeable step up in performance. I shoot by myself a lot, and with the 223 at 600+ yards, it starts getting hard to hear and see on...

    Converting my AR to 224 valk..need help

    Correct. Bolt, barrel, magazine. I think rubber city armory sells just bolts if you want to do that.
