    First rifle, MRAD or custom?

    The poly mags aren't flash. I prefer the AI. 300prc might be a problem. I don't know as I have no interest in PRC. The barrel swap is faster on the mrad, but the AIs can have their barrel spun up by any competent smith. Barrel swap speed is over emphasised as a pro. Barrel availability is much...

    First rifle, MRAD or custom?

    This is accurate, but as an MRAD AND an AI owner.... The MRAD has a better bolt and a better safety, the AI has better everything else. I'm just really off the MRAD. I can shoot it, it shoots well. But damn.... The size, the LOP, the barrel swap and the poly mags. Ergh.... AI is better. This...

    First rifle, MRAD or custom?

    I'll give you the heavy trigger. I can't adjust mine down below 2.8lbs. But the bolt, i disagree. The bolt on my MRAD is INSANELY smooth.

    First rifle, MRAD or custom?

    Don't get an MRAD. It's big, it's bulky and it's minimum LOP is 14". The execution of the design is phenomenal but it's just.... I don't like it any better than my customs and it cost twice as much.

    Ah.... that's what I get for running my mouth before reading.

    300Blk At Distance

    I don't believe you'll achieve what you want to in the 178gr class bullets. We didn't specifically test the 178s as we found we were just running out of MV to make the heavier bullets work. The blackout case has a small capacity to begin with. When choosing bullets, you have to decide whether...

    Shortest barrel length I can get away with on .308

    zombie thread. Here's some data. Black is where the bullet enters trans. We are working on 12.5".

    300Blk At Distance

    Not sure if this is going to help you, but we tested blackout out to distance (600y) and it was really consistent but you had to use good bullets. We were able to reliably, repeatedly and accurately engage a 12" steel plate to this distance. This was the max reliable range. After 600y, wind and...

    Secret Service “JAR” rifle

    The 6mm failed in our tests for exactly as you say. It's a good performer for range and accuracy, but it didn't manage to dump it's energy on target very convincingly. The problem in our (amateur) test with the ballistic gel is that the 6mm carts had too high of a sectional density and had a...

    Why AI?

    If I hit an IED on the way to the range, the "bomb proof" nature of my rifle is the last thing on my mind..... Sir.... you've lost both your legs, and you're penis is very small. But.... does my bolt.... still cycle?? Yes. Yes it does. Post on... the forums... my AI.... *gasps* is bomb...

    All good mate. Still interesting

    Secret Service “JAR” rifle

    Thats good info, but we are talking LOP, not barrel length. The MRADs have a 14" minimum LOP ands its uncomfortable when you're used to shorter.

    Secret Service “JAR” rifle

    Not related to the SS, but some of our different blokes were trialling both 6.5 and 6mm Creedmoor in the bolt guns. We tested both down to 16.5" barrel and the 6.5 143gr ELD-X was the best performer for energy on target, range and hit probability. Not sure what their thoughts were over-all or...

    Secret Service “JAR” rifle

    Agreed. That gave me a lot teething issues with the MRAD. Got is square now and i'm loving it, but god damn... WHY 14" MINIMUM!?

    Secret Service “JAR” rifle

    I can't speak for the AXSR at the moment, but the MRAD, scoped with the Mark 5 HD and Badger rings with a 17" 308 barrel weighs 16.04lbs. With the Norma Mag barrels fitted, the AXSR from memory is slightly heavier than MRAD but most of that is probably in the Optic being the ATACR. If I was a...

    Secret Service “JAR” rifle

    It's the same thing they used to disqualify the Desert Tech in the PSR/ASR program.

    All good mate. Just wanted to clarify before I went chasing wild geese
