    6.5 creedmore coal for gasgun?

    Yeah, 2.800 is really the limit for reliable feeding out of PMAGs. You might get to 2.820 out of a metal mag from KAC or LaRue Tactical.

    Savage 10 FP-SR?

    Very well. Accuracy has never been a problem for Savage rifles. And it's really easy to spin off a factory barrel and add a nice Shilen or McGowen barrel in the caliber of your choice. They are, however, the Microsoft of the bolt action rifle world: constantly trying new configurations while...

    Rifle Scopes Minox finally gets into the game

    The feature set looks great. I wonder a bit about the eye box (not the same as eye relief), whether illumination is crisp and aligned with the reticle, and FOV. I really hope Minox has cracked the 1-8x code at what seems to be a reasonable price point.

    Billion dollars to the Ukraine??

    It's a billion in loan guarantees as I understand it, not a billion in direct funding. IMF is also involved. You do realize the just-submitted federal budget is $4 trillion, making a billion a literal drop in the bucket...

    New X-Ray Chassis from KRG-now shipping!

    Justin, When the initial run of Rem700 SA chassis become available, how will you notify folks on your order list? Will you only send emails to the number of folks that match up with the number of units you will have for sale? Finally, will we be going to your Web site to place our orders, or...

    Christensen ca-10 or other light ar-10

    Consider a DPMS G2 Hunter in .308 -- 7.76 lbs with a 416 stainless 20" barrel. It'll be less than half the cost of the CA-10 and will come with a warranty that lasts longer than 30 days...

    Movie Theater Lego movie

    I had the exact opposite reaction: loved it! So did my kids, 9 and 6. Batman in particular was hilarious, IMHO.

    Night Vision Laser Devices DBAL-PL class 1 IR pistol Laser

    Has there been any chatter about modifying the switches so they're easier to access when the unit is mounted on a rifle?

    New X-Ray Chassis from KRG-now shipping!

    Justin, Any idea if the barrel/action channel on the M700 SA X-Ray will allow the use of "Remage" type barrel nuts, like the ones Criterion/NSS and McGowen make? Thanks!

    Desert Tech... It's here!

    Longer barrels would be GREAT - but if DT decides 16.5" is the longest barrel (for some reason) 6.5 Grendel still works very well.

    Any reason not to go 6.5 creedmoor over .308?

    Shooting 6.5 Creedmoor after shooting .308 feels almost like cheating...

    LaRue OBR 7.62

    They already make their .308 BCGs in house, along with .308 mags, receivers, etc along with a bunch of the polymer furniture. They are actually trying to become more like KAC with a full in-house production capability for complete rifles from bar stock up. Now whether they thought it would be...

    LaRue OBR 7.62

    LaRue is offering to send rifles out with barrels made in-house. They have over a million dollars of new barrel-making equipment as part of their effort to bring almost all production for LaRue rifle components in-house, but they have not figured out a repeatable process for making barrels as...

    AR receiver 6.8 / .556 differences?

    Mag ribs on 6.8 mags are also shallower, and mag bodies will invariably be made of stainless steel because Al mag bodies bulge too much.

    replaced a Savage 110 FCP barrel

    Re: replaced a Savage 110 FCP barrel Really easy once you get the barrel nut loose, which in turn is not a major issue if you have the correct barrel nut wrench, either an action wrench or barrel vise blocks with sufficient friction/grip on the barrel, a decent bench vise, and a hammer. And...

    Magazine question for all you Savage AICS owners

    I have a Savage 10FPSR installed in an AICS. As far as I can tell, everything is installed correctly and the magazines feed fine under normal circumstances. However, I've noticed that if I apply upward pressure on any of my AICS magazines (factory 5-round, Accurate Mag 10-round, Alpha Type I...
