    Practical barrel length - .223 Match upper

    For team matches, DMR matches, etc where I have to use a small frame I shoot a 20" with RLG and 77's although in years past I've used a 18" with MLG with good results also. A buddy and I annihilated the Gunslinger with 18" guns and I've done a bang up job with 20" guns in various matches. I like...

    Which would you keep given my current rifles? 6mm ARC or 6.5 Grendel

    I am building a Grendel for that exact purpose: it's lighter and handier than my 6.5 Creed and still lethal as far as I care to shoot it, uses the same bullet I use in one of my Creed loads, you can buy decent ammo, etc.

    Manners Stock Comparison

    I have the T6A, PRS-1, LRH, and EH-1A and they all feel about the same to me. I love the way they feel and look but I shoot a MPA better even though I fought the need to change in order to shoot better. I still use the Manners for certain things but I think the MPA makes for a more shootable...

    Not loving the Geissele SSA, maybe I'm the problem...?

    Anyone else seen multiple guns with the TT that either don't reset or appear under gassed when that unit is installed?

    Not loving the Geissele SSA, maybe I'm the problem...?

    I would bet my next paycheck against just about anyone, head to head, shooting a Geisselle SSF in any "duty" graded shooting event. A buddy and I just annihilated the SC Gunslinger and I used a Geisselle SSA. I'm pretty sure he used a LaRue MBT. The SSA-E is my choice for a precision gasser. The...

    Looking for ideal sight-in range for new RDO

    A 200m zero works pretty good for real work guns but I always confirm at 200m instead of a 50m zero and how that is good (it's almost never exactly on).

    Leupold mark 5?

    I really like the Mark 5 line; it's the best thing Leopold has made in a long time. I've got both the 3.6-18x and the 5-25x. The 3.6-18x is about perfect for a gasser. I've used the 5-25x on big frames and while it's long, it's not heavy for it's size. I do think it looks a little like a Harley...

    Load development with gas off - Am I wasting my time?

    I also find going from no gas to cycling to have an insignificant effect on MV with a sample of greater than one.

    Load development with gas off - Am I wasting my time?

    I develop my loads with gas turned off, adjust gas until it runs reliably, then make any minor tweaks if needed but it rarely requires any adjustment.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NX8 vs ATACR

    This is a pretty good assessment. I have both and tend to agree with this. I use my NX8 as a crossover some but my ATACR never goes on a hunting rifle.

    Buffer Weight Tuning

    I'll trade you your H2 for a CAR.

    Buffer Weight Tuning

    Yeah, if you start that way it's easy, albeit expensive. Where he's sitting, a single steel weight or two is just fine and way cheaper.

    Buffer Weight Tuning

    I would try a standard CAR or H1 based on your post. I think it's really hard to guess what you will need without knowing exactly how you're barrel was made. I've got a Criterion DCM barrel with rifle length has that requires a Tubb spring and H2 to behave; Criterion recommended a standard...

    Anyone receive one of Scar's 457 triggers

    I have a two-stage 1lbs/1lbs that I really like so far. It feels much lighter and cleaner than the factory model I had adjusted as best I could. The Scar also has a really good flat trigger geometry that works better for me than the factory trigger.

    Anyone receive one of Scar's 457 triggers

    Yeah, a Dremel will make ugly quickly and usually won't Dremel stocks but I was able to use the bottom of the trigger inlet as a guide to control the tool and it was a quick, clean cut. I got out and shot mine a little last night just before sundown but winds were gusting pretty good so I just...

    Anyone receive one of Scar's 457 triggers

    I've got #3 and just installed it today; I've spent most of the year gone or just plain busy. I just finished playing with a tuner which made a decent difference so we'll see if this trigger cleans my gun up some more. Initial impression is really good: easy install, good trigger geometry, and...

    Mark 5HD 3.6-18x VS Nightforce NX8 2.5-20X

    I took a Mark5 5-25x to Ko2M because I didn't like the DoF in the 7-35x the other guys on the team were shooting. I think my ATACR 7-35x is better than either.
