    Curiosity post about high end glass

    I looked through a TT once, I didn't notice anything special, but we were shooting steel at 700. I'm happy with my atacr level glass. To be honest, I'm sure I'd he happy with xrs3 glass too. It just doesn't matter as much as people say. I'm sure if you spend hours bird watching with your...

    Mounts: QD or Regular for return to zero?

    I'm not a fan of QD mounts in most cases. In my experience, it's quite common for the QD mounts to be either too tight, or too loose. I prefer the simplicity of a regular one piece mount and fix it sticks. I have much more piece of mind with that setup, which is what really matters.

    LMT .308 MWS

    I remember reading a few years back that LMT made changes to the deflector geometry to eject brass at 1 to 2 o clock. This was so that people shooting from helicopters weren't shooting hot brass into the helicopter, they wanted to eject brass out of the helo. I'm not sure if that was for all...

    I bought a LMT MARS-H 308 today at a local gun shop. Opinions on

    Haha... I know you can! I assumed (probably incorrectly) that changing the gas block was something he was thinking about doing on his own.

    Is 14.5 the middle ground that doesn't matter any more?

    14.5" pencil barrel is my favorite AR setup. Sure you can set up AR15s to do other stuff... But once you start trying to shoot at 600+ yards and you make a 18" SPR... Just shoot an ar10. If you are going to sacrifice the quick handling nature of the AR, step up to something more capable than...

    I bought a LMT MARS-H 308 today at a local gun shop. Opinions on

    I think you are going to have a hard time changing the gas block. Let us know how you do it. If you are worried about too much gas... Get a BRT gas tube. The barrels are heavy and accurate, in my opinion. I wouldn't chop a barrel to 14.5, you aren't going to save much weight or length. I'd...

    Mk12 Setup for High Pressure Loads?

    Do you really want to push pressure for velocity? Run a longer barrel or even better, run a different cartridge. The drop/drift you eliminate by picking up an extra 50fps isn't that significant.

    SOLD FOUND: LMT MRP-L MLOK 13.25" upper

    I'm thinking the same thing... Might just give up on this MLR and buy a KAC mod 2, those are less expensive and more available. I'd be a bit disappointed though, I already have a MRP pistol and MWS, so I'd rather get another LMT, but it is what it is.

    Congratulations! I've been looking for 16 months lol! If you found it at a retailer, were there any left?

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Wow... That seems pretty quick. 2800 would be about right for a 6BR with a 26" barrel. You are getting close to 6CM velocity: https://rifleshooter.com/2017/01/6-creedmoor-barrel-length-versus-muzzle-velocity-31-to-17-inches/ Keep doing your thing... but I would expect 2550-2600ish with a 16"...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR 4-16 for “SPR” or……

    4-16 is a great overall package. It won't blow you away in any single metric, but it is a really well-rounded scope that is easy to use. Contrast and resolution are good, turrets are good, eye box is good, mil-xt or mil-c are good. Illumination isn't daylight bright and might be too bright in...

    LMT 308 prices

    Prices are definitely on the way down on nearly all LMT items. Still above precovid prices, but not at peak prices anymore imo. Some rare items will probably still fetch crazy prices (like a 15" MWS mlok upper, I'd guess), but we probably aren't going to see mars-l stripped lowers for $700, or...

    Rifle Scopes New for 2023 Optics

    I think just offering an updated reticle in the 42mm nxs would be a great start. I'm fine with the 5mil turrets. And 30mm tube. Don't want it to get much heavier than it's existing weight at 20oz. If I can't have everything, I think this would be the most easiest, most attainable path...

    LMT .308 MWS

    16" 308s are mid length, 18" and 20" barrels are rifle length. I don't believe LMT has ever made a +2" system.

    Been a while since I was looking for a new AR so I figured I would ask the experts.

    I really like my 14.5 LW Daniel Defense barrel. It's probably my favorite barrel for what you describe. Personally, I feel like the LW barrels do make a difference in regard to ease of handling. I also like my LMT MRPs, but LMT barrels are heavy. I wish LMT made a factory LW barrel. Based...

    Do I really Need a $400 Mount?

    $400 for a mount is kind of crazy. People have been have been reliably mount scopes long before spur and badger c1s existed. For AR mounting... I like used NF unimounts. You can find them for $150-175.
