    Factory ammo question( dont know which thread to leave this in)

    Get a box or two of each and try them out. The gun will tell you what it likes.

    Barrel Choice

    Man, that's a horror story....glad the new shop is taking good care of you. To start, I would look at each barrel mentioned and see if they are button or cut rifled. Cut rifled barrels dominate in the precision rifle community.....but button rifling done properly can be equally as accurate. I...

    need some help picking a belt please...

    Back in 09, PSD teams in Iraq were converting from high-profile, upper body molle vests/racks capable of holding a minimum of 10 mags....to low-profile gear. The high-pro gear was too threatening and offended the Iraqi's (good going Obama). You had to wear everything you needed on a belt and...

    Help with QD rifle scope mount

    Skip the QD, and no vertically split rings either. Geissele mount is what I settled on. My mount search is over.

    Is there a brand of brake or a brake design I want to stay away from?

    Proof used an APA Little Bastard brake when testing a barrel for accuracy issues. The installed brake was causing the problems. The brake I have had best luck with is the JP Enterprises Standard Compensator Muzzle Brake. I have seen the least POI shift and the most consistent accuracy. The JP...

    Rifle Scopes New scope for the AR-10...Nightforce ??

    Had a NXS 2.5-10x32. Great scope, nice glass, zero stop. Basic mil reticle but the hollow dots was a nice touch. Ultimately, 10x was not enough magnification. I'd rather have more and not need it, than need it and not have it.

    Bergara LRP Rebarrel with Hawk Hill 6.5 CM

    Took it out again for the 3rd time since the rebarrel. Man, this rifle can shoot. Maybe my best (accuracy wise) day behind a bolt gun ever. Fired 100 rounds, 20 targets @ 5 rounds each. All factory ammo. 60 rounds Hornady ELD 140 gr and 40 rounds Hornady Black 140 gr. The JP muzzle brake is...

    Bergara LRP Rebarrel with Hawk Hill 6.5 CM

    Have not had a new, custom barrel in many years. Had a Ruger RPR that fouled incredibly easy and the Bergara barrel had significant copper fouling, but cleaned up easier than the Ruger. Took the rebarreled Bergara to the range Friday with a JP compensator newly installed. This was the 2nd range...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell LRTSI 4.5x18 Review

    I thought the glass was great. Turrets very nice. All around great scope......but, thought the reticle was just a tad thick. Not by a lot.....just a little too thick.

    Bergara LRP action thread pitch

    Have the same exact rifle. Just picked up my rebarreled rifle from a local custom shop, Tumbleweeds Custom Rifles in Round Rock, TX. No problems duplicating the coned section of the barrel.....any competent smith should be able to get it done. I had a 27" Hawk Hill M24/40 contour installed with...

    Mpa production class gun experience?

    I would go the MPA route.....you may want to upgrade the basic stock at some point and add a folding option. I hear there can be long wait times so that's something to consider.

    "Best" Semi-Auto Precision Rifle

    When looking for a .223/5.56 precision gas gun....I took several factors into consideration. Was issued a KAC .308....not impressed therefore not in the running for me. Purchased a LaRue Stealth upper to put on a LMT lower with Geissele trigger. The LaRue was better than the KAC but still not...

    Razor, Athlon Ares, Gold Ring?

    Never done a side by side comparison with the ones you mentioned, but I have the bigger Ares 20-60x85 and it is awesome. The Ares blew away the Bushnell Legend T in a side by side comparison....as in not even close. Had a pretty low mirage day 2 weeks ago and cranked it up, shooting 250 yards to...

    Rifle Scopes long range scope for jp 223

    I'd rather have the higher magnification and not need it, than need it and not have it. Sure you can shoot to 1000 yds with an 8 or 10x....but why when 25 or even higher is available. Aim small, miss small....right. Punching paper at 100 yards to get ridiculously small groups is fun...and I...
