    Savage Impulse 1 year update

    @shoots100 What did you do for a barrel nut wrench? The nut on my Impulse is different from my model 12, and my barrel nut wrench doesn't look like it's going to work. :mad:

    Savage Impulse 1 year update

    Yes, very happy. If you run the bolt hard you can launch cases like 15 feet. The only issue is finding your brass.

    Suppressed ejection pattern

    It's possible you're way over-gassed and the bolt is running too fast, throwing off the ejection timing. Most of the time adding a suppressor requires also adding an adjustable gas block.

    Confusing 6ARC AR15 Gas Issue After Switching to Rifle +1 Barrel

    I'm pretty sure you'll have to open that gas port a smidge. Oh... and "just shoot suppressed all the time" you unwashed heathen. :LOL:

    My list of interests is nearly identical. This SD exile, currently in ND captivity welcomes you.

    Savage Impulse

    After some load dev, I finally started shooting my Impulse Predator in 243 for real. It's a lot of fun to shoot. 58 grain v-max at 3850 is going to be hell on prairie dogs.

    Whats the most powerful round I can put in an AR-10 build?

    You'll be challenged to shoot anything subsonic to 400 yards. Since you're limited to (about) 1125 FPS, those bullets drop like a rock. For example, assuming a 100 yard zero, a 220gr 30 cal bullet would need about 45 MOA of elevation to drop in there. That's roughly what it takes my 6.5 Creed...

    Out of the loop: Lapua vs Alpha vs Peterson 2023 opinions.

    I have all three and can't complain about any. I'd say buy whatever is in stock.

    Which 3-18 for me?

    That's ok, not everyone is cut out for MOA.

    Which 3-18 for me?

    Yep, I have 2, and I like them a lot. Was looking to go a little cheaper for this rifle, and would like more of a true tactical scope rather than a hunting scope with some tactical features.

    Which 3-18 for me?

    Just to clarify. Have you been using the 3.3-18, or the 5.5-30 ?

    Which 3-18 for me?

    Thanks guys. The Burris XTR3 illuminated does seem to stand out. My only hang up is the reticle. It doesn't have the thicker lines toward the outside like (for example) the Nightforce MOAR to draw your eye to the center, or allow you to "bracket" an animal at close range. Some feedback I've...

    Which 3-18 for me?

    I know, another "which scope" thread... but this is a case of just not knowing what all is available. I've looked into the Leupold and Burris offerings, but not much else. Here some guidelines around what I think I want: - Going on a hunting rig, so while I'm not a pussy about weight, a tank...

    Yes, but "punch right through" is not what you want with coyotes. Ideally, the bullet enters a few inches and explodes, dropping them in their tracks.

    Several of these podcasts go into the "hows" and "whys".

    I know 69 TMKs are pretty nasty on prairie dogs, but thats at 22-250 speeds.

    Love a good coyote in the snow picture. Here's one from last weekend. The 6 Creed never disappoints.

    ar10 build... what caliber?

    Why not .260 Remington? Not quite "rare" enough? Will do most everything the Creeds will do, but with extra 'cool kid' sauce. Trying to run oddball / unproven shit in an AR-10 might make you tear your hair out.

    @kirsch has probably used one more than anyone else.
