    Preferred 22 RF Reamer For PRS

    I shoot a Bartlein chamber which is a modified EPS and it's awesome

    NF NX8 2.5-20 vs 4-32 for Rimefire

    I'm also all in with the 4-32x for the same reasons already listed.

    West VA Douglas Barrels

    I understand what you are talking about and do not disagree about cut barrels. The one place you can truly feel the difference is in smokeless muzzleloaders where you use a portion of the barrel, to make a sizing bushing for your die, and engrave/size the bullet to .000x under bore diameter...

    West VA Douglas Barrels

    How many have you had? I've never owned one that didn't shoot really well. And I've used them on everything from .22LR to smokeless muzzleloaders. I would also posit there is nothing wrong with buttoned barrels. Some of my best have been buttoned Benchmark but have had great barrels from...

    Manners LRH Discussion

    No complaints from me. I ordered mine before they released the LA inlet and I knew it was an issue so I bought an Area 419 rail that Manners installed hardware for and I fit the rail to the bottom metal.

    Manners LRH Discussion

    His still has the gap I'm talking about which is from the end of the rail to the belly of the stock and shows your bottom metal because Manners only made a mold for the SA. The new rail will still have it because the inlet hasn't changed and they aren't making a rail with a deeper cut for the...

    Look at post #69. If that doesn't show you what you want let me know and I'll pay you a better pic when I'm home

    Manners LRH Discussion

    Not true. The LA has a gap. I'm away from the house hunting with a different gun or I could show you, but there's already pics in the thread.

    Christmas Tree Reticle..do you use it?

    I use a tree pretty exclusively unless I'm shooting a single known distance.

    Nightforce ATACR 7-35x T3 Military Dark Earth Scope

    I hate that elevation turret, specifically the locking knob. I don't know who keeps insisting I need that; I do know, I just don't agree. The locking turret on the 4-16x is so much better, and they can put it on the 7-35x, but honestly I don't need a locking turret at all.

    Best hunting caliber for barrel length 16.5-20"

    Tikka rifles tend to have long throats and are slow. I won a TAC A1 6.5 Creed at a match and it identified as a 6.5 Grendel. With a 140gn ELD-M seated to absolute max mag length I was still over .100" jump and it took a full grain more than my other rifles to get in the ballpark of where MV...

    Vortex Razor HD 27-60x85 w/ Reticle vs Leupold Mk4 vs LMSS2

    Of those, I'd take the Mk4. I use them a lot and have for 16 years. I have personal one from 2009 that I'm still pretty happy with. The new models definitely have better glass and coatings but mine is still fine. I have largely switched over to my 15x Swaro bino for range use tho. The Vortex is...

    First can- ammo rec’s

    As stated above, it'll never be movie quiet so I prioritize function and accuracy/precision. I shoot a mixture of Gorilla supers and subs because they run will in my gun, are accurate, and have good terminal effects.

    Optic for 300blk build

    I have a Swarovski Z6i 1-6x24mm EE on my .300 BO. Mine isn't a SBR but I mention the Swaro because it's really light weight (albeit long) for a LPVO which would be my main concern on a SBR, all else being equal. On a SBR I'd probably be looking at the shortest, lightest, high quality 1-4x I...

    0 degree pistol grip

    I've used (work and competition) some dozen SR-25 rifles and another dozen AR-15 rifle and never felt like I needed a completely vertical grip.

    ATACR 4-16, 7-35 vs. NX8 4-32

    I used the 5-25x for years and still have them at work on a couple guns; they are fine but if rather have the 7-35x or 4-16x in the ATACR line. The 7-35x is the best all around scope on the market and is my top choice for most anything at work or in competition. The 4-16x was my top choice for...

    Best hunting caliber for barrel length 16.5-20"

    A 6.5 Creed in a 20" barrel with suppressor is my light option (carries min energy and expansion velocity to 500yds). You could definitely do a 7 SAUM: my next step up is a long throat 7mm RM (bought the reamer before newer options existed) that is a 26" barrel plus can.
